Jonz Food Concepts

e appetizers to the main meal. So great. AND so accommodating! We had a few food accommodations we needed for guest and they were so on top of things.

lp map out where things would go well in advance of the event. In that way she helped me imagine the event. She met me at American Party Rentals to go over every item we needed for the event and made suggestions that made things go off so easily. I haven't even gotten to the food yet. We had three entrees to cover our picky eaters. NW Salmon, prime rib and a tofu dish got rave reviews. I'm not kidding, people came up to me and raved about the food and told their horror stories of other weddings. We did a buffet, but with the tents, classy table settings and elegant food, we felt it wasn't such a big imposition to have people get up and get that good food. The bar service was perfect. We didn't do mixed drinks, which made things easier, of course. But keeping up with all the non alcoholic drinks as well as our array of wine and beers were more than enough to keep Stacy hopping. She did a great job keeping up. We were going to have two bartenders but decided when they arrived that it wouldn't be necessary. Another server carried around wine to refill glasses. Great service. I didn't want to have to do anything the night of the event and I really didn't have to. I was comfortable letting Jonz do a total take-over. I'd hire them again.

did they deliver! And this was after we talked with another catering company across the bridge that adamantly (and in a rude way) claimed that in our chosen reception space, the Point Defiance Pagoda, a plated meal with servers was not doable, period, and that we needed to do a buffet, how they normally do things. Just goes to show how Jonz will do anything to make your vision come true! I booked Linda about a year in advance and throughout the year she was always quick to answer my emails and phone calls, something I really valued since planning a wedding can get kind of stressful. As I mentioned before, her husband, the chef, came up with 3 amazing entrée options that reflected my northwest background with my husband’s Chilean background. We got so many compliments on the food! I only wish my stomach would have been able to handle more food so I could have eaten more haha, it was that good! It all came out hot too, which sometimes can be a tricky business for plated meals, but it was perfect! Another great thing about working with Linda was that she knew and had previously worked with many of our other vendors (the DJ, florist, cake guy, venue coordinator, etc.) so she was able to easily provide her opinions and recommendations on things based on her previous experiences working with them. Although I hadn’t considered it before, my vendor’s familiarity with one another was a HUGE plus since it took a lot of the stress and pressure off me to coordinate things beforehand (I did have a day-of coordinator) since everyone was already familiar with everyone else and how they liked to do things. And finally, the last thing that was SO appreciated was their flexibility with alcohol. We chose to host our own bar using their AMAZING bar staff (I’m terrible with names, but shout out to the girls who worked my wedding, you were awesome!). This enabled us to serve pisco, Chilean liquor, at our wedding, something we wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise. All our Chilean guests were so shocked we had pisco (and were able to serve up a mean pisco sour!), and it wouldn’t have happened without Linda and her staff. I highly recommend Jonz catering, it couldn’t have been any better!

a special meal for a quest with dietary restrictions. They cleaned up and took our rentals back, too- really saved us a lot in time and effort. Everyone loved the food, the lavendar blackberry marinated lamb appetizers were so savory! (though brides beware, they are saucy!) Everything was great- from the passed appetizers and wine to the final clean up. The cost was really reasonable- we'd seen another caterer who wanted twice what we paid for less food- Jonz was about $30/person and there was a ton of food! No disappointment here, I would definitetly recommend them!
