imagined I could be impressed by vegetables. The service was also flawless. The entire team was professional, attentive, and seamless in their execution, making the evening feel effortless.
Annie went above and beyond throughout the process, even recommending other amazing vendors. We tried several other caterers during our search, and none came even close to the quality and attention to detail that Snuffin’s delivers. Truly exceptional from start to finish!

t at our wedding, and the included items (coffee, punch, etc) were a nite touch. They accommodated a last minute menu change and multiple vegan guests without any issue. They were sometimes slow to respond to emails, but overall offered outstanding service both during the planning process and the reception. I can't recommend them enough and will happily go back to them with any catering needs.
We loved having Snuffins at our wedding! So many of our guests complimented the food and the cocktail hour. We felt cared for from start to finish!

ing on July 13th.
My daughter, husband and mother in law are gluten free and they were able to accommodate them.
The appetizers were perfect as well.
You will not be disappointed at all by hiring this vendor for your special celebration!
Our wedding included dinner for about 50 people. We found Snuffin's pricing to be straightforward and transparent. Not all vendors we talked to were like this. We arranged every...
thing from a distance and never had a tasting. The entire dinner was amazing! The staff were helpful, friendly, professional, and more than willing to please. They did a few extra things for us on the wedding day with drinks and desserts that we furnished separately. We cannot say enough good things about them. They were absolutely spectacular and made everything stress free.
Michael and the rest of the team at Snuffin’s was amazing to work with. When we first contacted them, Michael was great about giving a detailed explanation of how they operated, t...
he options they provide, and the cost and breakdown associated with each option. He was very responsive to communicate (both email and phone) and when he wasn’t available, another member of the team was able to answer questions on his behalf and let us know when he’d be back. They provided a complementary tasting which was delicious and put our mind at ease and were able to make recommendations and adjust to the customization requests we made. We had last minute requests the week leading up to the wedding day and they were able to accommodate that well. As a bonus, Michael is a sommelier and gave guidance on wine pairings and amount to buy and advised us where to buy the wines from!
We ended up going with the bacon tots and crab cakes for appetizers, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, green beans and seasonal salad for sides, along with roast beef and basil glazed salmon for the main. On the day of, the execution of the buffet style dinner was seamless, and they even served plated meals for the bride and groom. The touches for the presentation of the menu, table and wine bar set up reflected the attention to details and gave us and our guests a wonderful experience. At the end of the night, they even packed a picnic basket with all the food along with wrapping all the leftovers so we could easily take it with us. Overall, we can’t recommend Snuffin’s highly enough as they provided a stress-free planning process and impeccable execution for our special day!
Do you want your wedding food to be the kind that is still talked about over a year later? Then you should hire Snuffin's as I am still getting compliments. We worked with Austin a...
t Snuffin's for our August 2022 wedding. Unfortunately, our original traditional venue cancelled our event and we needed to move to a backyard wedding. That BIG change was handled with such ease by Snuffin's. Austin went above and beyond and came out to see the backyard. With her guidance, we were able to create a space where from a bride's view all the catering went seamlessly. After many menu iterations, we settled on a seated first salad course (to formalize the backyard), marinated flank steak grilled on site (a MUST), and basil glazed salmon fillets. They helped us come up with a small set of separate vegetarian plates for those with dietary restrictions. We cannot recommend working with Snuffin's enough.

hey have had at a wedding. I would highly recommend Snuffin's to anyone!!
WOW!!!
Talk about top notch!
My son and his beautiful bride chose Snuffin’s Catering Company to celebrate their wedding reception and dinner.
Honestly, everything was perfect!!...
!
Clearly, the owner of Snuffin’s, has a great judge of character, because everyone was incredibly kind, very accommodating and eager to please!
The tables were arranged wonderfully, the place settings were elegant and fun, and the food was AMAZING!!!!
Everything was warm, fresh and delicious!!! I’m not being biased, but it was the BEST wedding dinner I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to a lot of weddings.
Snuffin’s chef/chefs hold the Gold Standard for delicious food, amazing presentations and quality service!!!
In addition, the bartenders were friendly, prepared, and professional! The drinks were served quickly and they tasted great!
I have one more kid to marry, and Snuffin’s will have my back!!!

onal, punctual, and the food was amazing! The whole team was so kind and fun to work with. The team was helpful with the planning process and checking to make sure that things on the day were going to go according to our vision. Austin was the lead at our wedding and she was INCREDIBLE! She was constantly checking on my husband and I; making sure we had eaten and had a fresh drink. She was so kind and courteous and made sure we were well taken care of all night. I so appreciated the incredible communication. We could tell that the team truly cares about making the event special. They are so great at what they do. Thank you Snuffin's!

each of what we drank at our wedding. They did an amazing job passing cake during toasts quietly and quickly. They were flexible when we were ahead of schedule and the food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Annie at Snuffins was very responsive through the whole process but Our only reason for not providing 5 stars was that they were trying to tell us we could not have alcohol in our bride/groom suites before the ceremony and they would not allow our day of coordinator in the kitchen because only catering staff were aloud in the kitchen… but beyond that they were great and decently priced.
Choosing Snuffin's for our wedding catering was one of the best decisions we made!!! They did so much for us beforehand with menu/table setting prep, on the big day, and afterwards...
. I truly don't know what we would have done without them. Day of their team went above and beyond in regards to table / decor setup and takedown!!! Their lead, Austin, was also incredibly attentive to me and my husband at the reception, filling our plates and always asking if we needed a drink. Not to mention the fact that we received sooooo much amazing feedback from our guests about the food and how delicious it was. Some guests have even told us it was the best wedding food they've ever had! Can't recommend Snuffin's enough. :)
My daughter chose Snuffin's to cater her Port Gamble wedding at the Hood Canal Vista Pavilion last month, and we were so glad she did! There were over 150 guests to feed, and Aust...
in from Snuffin's ensured everything was perfect and delicious from start to finish. Austin had quick, helpful responses to every question we had during the planning process, and especially as the big day got closer. She worked closely with our venue to coordinate every small detail. We couldn't have been any happier with the communication and planning. And best of all, of course, was the incredible meal they prepared and served. We had so many compliments about how delicious the food was, and many guests asked us who our caterer was. The delicious dinner was a big highlight of the wedding day, and I whole heartedly recommend choosing Snuffin's to cater any large or small event you're having. And we really loved working with Austin as our event planner. When our linens were out for cleaning and the delivery was going to be very late, (out of Snuffin's control), Austin personally drove them from Gig Harbor to our Port Gamble venue during our wedding rehearsal, so we could get the tablecloths on the tables the night before the wedding. Service "above and beyond!" Thank you again, Austin!!
We have worked with Snuffin's in the past for catering otherevents and decided we did not need to look anywhere else when catering our wedding! They did a fantastic job and we sti...
ll get raving reviews from our guests about the food! Annie is such a pleasure to work with. We had some issues with our wedding venue not following through with certain items (ex small tables, linens)- but Annie was on it, making sure that everything we needed was there. Things were so smooth day of. We also hired bartenders through them and they were awesome!!! Fast and professional! Do not look else where, trust me you will be so happy and anxiety at ease!

Snuffins was a delight to work with and did an excellent job rolling with the punches when we had to delay our wedding 3 times due to Covid. When we were finally able to celebrate,...
they cooked an incredible menu that suited our tastes perfectly and received rave reviews from all our guests. Even now a month after the event, friends and family still comment about how delicious the food was! The service was spectacular and we loved the basket of leftovers they made for us at the end of the night. An excellent value for the price!

our wedding was disappointed. We provided our own drinks for the wedding and there were a couple ingredients that were not brought out and Snuffins went out and bought them on the spot. Give this company a chance and they will impress.

o hiring Snuffins for their own wedding this 2020! From the first consultation to the day of the wedding, they were so professional and really wonderful to work with. Sharon and the staff (I must have talked to every single one of them!) always responded so quickly and were really after our best interest. We only had 2 months to prepare for a wedding and had no troubles at all coordinating with them. I love all the complimentary things they offer where other companies might charge you for and they really take care of everything from start to finish. No stress for us even for our coordinator! I love that they handle rental services too for linens and tableware so it’s all in one. At first I was nervous because we didn’t have a chance to do food tasting, but everything was delicious and reasonably priced. I can go on forever talking about how great they are! We are so honored to have them at our wedding. Thank you Snuffins!
Not only was the food wonderful but they were so professional and efficient! I would highly recommend using them for your wedding!!
The crew from Snuffin's made our day so special. They even made a custom Vegan fajita dinner for us. I never had to worry about a thing all day. It was fabulous.
The Snuffins team was so great to work with and the food was so delicious!!! I got married at a private property in Gig Harbor so there was no kitchen to work with. Snuffins was t...
otally able to make it work with still doing sleek and salmon. The day of the wedding went flawlessly. The staff was so extremely friendly and knew exactly what they were doing. All the food was delicious!!! I got so many complements from my friends and family at the wedding about how great the food was. Snuffins also made sure we ate by making us a plate of food so we could sit down for little. They left us the left over food and also crated a cute basket that included 2 meals and a couple slices of our cake. They continued to keep the tables clean after guests finished eating.
I totally recommend working with Snuffins for your wedding! They are so professional and great to work with. They have so many great food menus to pick from and the food is tasty. Recommend the bacon wrapped tater tots! 😉
We absolutely loved working with Snuffin's for our wedding, and we would highly recommend them if you're looking for a great caterer for your wedding. We worked with Annie and Shar...
on during the booking process and up to the wedding. They were both amazing at answering any questions we had and working with our schedule for appointments and payments. As for the day of, we could not have been more pleased with how everything turned out. The lead for the event was the sweetest woman ever and made sure we were taken care of (unfortunately I don't remember her name because the day passed by so quickly). The service was incredible and the food was delicious. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

helpful with helping us plan and meet our dream dinner within our budget. The place settings were amazing and fit our decor perfectly. We had numerous guests compliment the food as well as the transition from the ceremony to the reception and how smooth and quick it was. Their service was above and beyond from the bartenders to the servers. Thank you Snuffin’s for being such a big part of our day, you helped make our day perfect.
Snuffins did an amazing job catering our wedding! Their process was seamless and Sharon always responded to my questions as quickly as possible. The day of the wedding, there were ...
several servers and bartenders and they were dressed very professionally. We even had a dedicated server just for the two of us! We decided to go with their salmon and beef shortribs. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the shortribs were so tender. I also wanted to surprise my now husband with a special meal and asked Sharon if it was possible. She had no issues with it and he was surprised! At the end of the night, they even gave us a take home basket with a small sample of each of the different foods. Highly recommend hiring Snuffins! You will not regret it!
We used Snuffins for our intimate wedding at home. When we met with Annie at the catering office, I was worried that our wedding might be too small and casual for them. However,...
everyone made us feel great about our decision to have a spread of heavy appetizers for our 40 guests, and helped us shape and customize our menu. Amazingly, Annie, the catering manager, came to our house for a walk-through and made several suggestions for furniture placement and furniture rental, all of which ended up being right on point! Our guests LOVED the food and the staff was wonderful. They even wrapped up the leftovers and put them in the fridge for us! We had a tiny wedding with a tiny budget, but I could not have asked for better and more attentive service.
We had Snuffin’s Catering cater our wedding this October. I cannot being to express how wonderful this company is. I originally reached out to Sharon back in November of 2017. She ...
helped our vision of our wedding come to life. Over the last year, Sharon has been attentive, responsive and truly amazing. Snuffin’s Catering did what seemed, to me, to be impossible. We had a Jewish wedding and our food needed to be kosher. She went above and beyond to make sure our dietary needs were met. I swear people still can’t stop talking about how friendly the staff was and how delicious the food was. Thank you so much for everything.

We used Snuffins for our wedding at Historic 1625. From our initial meeting to the wedding itself, the entire process was amazing.
Food and Drinks: We did a layered dip as an app...
etizer and a taco bar buffet for the main course. It was hot and delicious. We were able to buy our own alcohol and have them serve it (major plus!).
Service: Wonderful! The head server carried our plates to our table so we wouldn't spill.
Planning: Annie is so knowledgeable and flexible. I changed my mind so many times and she was so patient and kind throughout.
Our daughter was married at the Kelley Farm and we selected Snuffin's as our Caterer. They are one of the preferred caterers for the venue and we are thrilled with our selection....
We met with the owner and did a tasting a year prior and loved the food - from appetizers to salad to the meal. Sharon Snuffin's helped us select our place settings, rose gold utensils, table cloths and napkins too. We had so much positive feedback from our 250 guests about the food, decor, and service. Most importantly our daughter (gluten free) and new son-in-law loved the food and were energized to dance the night away! Snuffin's attention to every detail was appreciated by this Mom of the Bride and all of our guests.
Delicious food! Staff was wonderful to work with! Our guests are still talking about the food!
We had a venue that only worked with certain vendors and Snuffin's was one of them -- and we're so glad we chose them! The food was delicious, and although I was tempted to go back...
for seconds and thirds, I refrained (barely). They even packed up a huge basketful of leftovers for us to take with us (including wrapping up two of our cupcakes to enjoy later as well).
Planning the wedding with them was great as well. I didn't have a huge vision and am not a big event planner, and they made it simple (and dare I say, fun?) to pick out cutlery, plates, napkins and, of course, food.
I knew they were totally prepared and professional and had no concerns whatsoever about them being ready and on top of things on our wedding day.
I can’t say enough about how wonderful Snuffin’s was to work with! I had no idea what everything entailed for planning a wedding, and when I met with Snuffin’s and they showed me h...
ow it works best to set up the venue and where everything should go a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders! They truly did EVERYTHING. They were so easy to get a hold of during the planning process and I had no worries the day of my wedding. When my wedding day came I was blown away by their staff. We had brought a lot of things of our own to set up, and they took them right from us and asked where we wanted them! My husband and I missed our cocktail hour to take pictures, and they saved a plate of appetizers for us! Every staff member was so friendly and great to work with. I honestly believe if we didn’t have Snuffin’s our wedding would not have gone smoothly! Oh- and the food was DELICIOUS!!! Annie is the best to work with :)
The food was good and received great reviews from guests, but the service was truly spectacular. Friendly, fast, and on-point! Well worth the price to include bar service and renta...

ILL raving about the food. From start to finish they were simply the best and we wouldn't have changed a thing about it. Annie was wonderful to work with while we were getting everything set and squared away. She was always willing to answer any question or change things around as new ideas or issues popped up down to the last minute. They have amazing buffet packages to choose from and there are so many additional options. Everything we tried was to die for.
Mandy was the head staff member during our wedding, and she was phenomenal! She was there keeping me calm before the wedding and after...a total calm in the face of my OH NO I FORGOT...storm of panic. The food was melt in your mouth, delicious, perfect and leaves you craving for more. We wish we could go back to our reception just for the food. Everyone was impressed with Snuffin's and we can't rave about them enough! Highly recommended!! If you want utter perfection for your guests then Snuffin's is the place to go.
Snuffin's Catering did an incredible job at our wedding! I got so much feedback from everyone that the food was amazing! We had three action stations for dinner and an ice cream ...
station to go along with our other desserts. We got the noodle station, the slider station, and the tuscan vegetable station. All very delicious! For apps, we had the blackberry/brie tart, sun-dried tomato tart, and smoked salmon/cucumber bites. These were amazing! I thought maybe having two tarts was going to be strange, but they were so different in flavor, that it turned out great. We were both very impressed with how well the whole dinner turned out! We worked with Jennifer, who made us feel very good about the whole thing. She was very easy going and gave us recommendations when we asked. Snuffin's is really great, they know what they are doing, and make your experience very enjoyable!
Believe it or not, we totally booked Snuffin's Catering solely on their glowing reviews before we even really knew anything about them, and we were not disappointed. Jennifer is so...
incredibly easy to work with, and she was so timely with her communication back and worth with us. I had several last minute changes/ requests and she was was able to accommodate all our needs. On the day of the wedding, everything seemed to just work itself out beautifully, the catering staff worked quickly, and smoothly, and all of this happened WITHOUT a wedding coordinator involved at all. Everyone had only great things about our food! So incredibly happy we chose Snuffin's!
Snuffins was absolutely the best choice we could have made for our wedding caterer. Jennifer was great to work with, and made everything so easy. The catering staff was so profess...
ional and took care of every need, and our guests couldn't say enough about the amazing food. They helped make our special day perfect!
Snuffin's is an AMAZING catering option for your wedding. After our initial meeting with Jennifer, we were sold. Jennifer is absolutely wonderful, a straight shooter (which I so ap...
preciate), and has a wealth of knowledge...especially when it comes to local vendors. But let's get to the food...
The food is perfection. I've never been to a wedding where so many guests comment about the food - it really was a huge hit! The extra special thing about Snuffin's is that they put together a to-go basket for the bride and groom to enjoy once they are back at their hotel...it's fantastic!
And finally, the staff. The staff is exceptional. They are attentive to not only the bride and groom, but all guests. They do an excellent job with setting up all of the tables. And they move mountains to make sure that all of your details are managed (for instance, one of the staff stood over our cake with an umbrella as it started to rain - wow!).
I highly recommend the gorgonzola and pistachio crostinis and bacon-wrapped tots for your appetizers. And while the beef is ah-mazing, our guests RAVED over the Tuscany chicken.
I also highly recommend attending one of their open houses! You are able to taste a lot of their food and meet some local vendors, too.
I am so glad my husband and I used Snuffin's for our wedding in May! We loved working with Jennifer, as she was incredibly helpful and did an amazing job helping us put together ou...
r menu. The food was wonderful and the staff made sure my husband and I had time to eat during the fast paced day. Thank you so much to the staff for making sure everything ran smoothly!
