Having a great meal at our wedding was one of the important things on our list. We found out about PNW Catering from a friend, as they catered some appetizers, cupcakes, and punch at their wedding. We went in for a tasting, met both Matt the Ch...ef, and Al the Operations Manager, and really enjoyed the food. Most of our interactions from then on were with Al. He sat with us in the tasting, he helped work with us in selecting a menu, and he was the one we worked with in all our communications. He was pleasant to work with, and generally prompt in his communications.
The quality of the food carried through to the wedding. Not only were we delighted by how the menu turned out, but the value for the price was excellent, as it included many of the rentals (we did our own table coverings), and the staff for a wedding for about 70 people, that was scheduled from 4PM to midnight, and had both a buffet, bar, and cake service. It also included punch, and assorted coffees.
We started from some of their standard wedding menus, and then selected our own items, based on what made sense for our wedding schedule, and our guests. They were more than willing to work with us to come up with a customized menu. We chose some appetizers for a cocktail hour while the room was being flipped, and then their steak and salmon meal, but then customized it with a cheese ravioli, melange vegetables with no peppers due to one of my wedding party having an allergy, and then I wanted the PNW salad from one of the other menus. The ravioli was based on their recommendation, as I began to worry as we approached the wedding that my original side of roasted potatoes would mean that we would not have a good vegetarian protein option. They said that the ravioli would enable everyone to use the side, while still serving as a vegetarian protein. I also requested a basil butter finish for the salmon instead of the lemon butter. The salmon was so good that one of the guests who ordinarily does not like salmon apparently changed her mind about salmon that night! We could not have been happier with how everything turned out, and the food received many compliments.
They also ended up recommending our baker to us, who we may not have otherwise chosen, and she was amazing, so I was also pretty happy about that!
