Do you cater weddings in Tacoma?

48 hours' notice for events under 50 guests anywhere in Kent, Puyallup, Federal Way, Auburn, Renton, Sumner or Bonney Lake. Larger events need 1–2 weeks so we can build the right menu, prep, and staff it properly.

Question 4

Are you the best caterer in Tacoma?

We've catered 600+ events across the South Sound and average 4.9/5 — but we'd rather earn that title with your event. Send us the date and the vibe; we'll quote you back inside 24 hours.

Question 5

How much lead time do you need for catering?

$400 minimum for catering. No minimum for regular takeout — order one mac, we'll still bring the heat.

Do you deliver?

Accepted Answer

Yes, within a 25-mile radius — that covers all of Tacoma, Kent, Puyallup, Federal Way, Auburn, Renton, Sumner, Bonney Lake and most of South Seattle. Delivery fees scale with distance and order size — we'll quote it upfront.

Can we do tastings before booking a big event?

For events over $3k, yes — we comp a tasting for up to 4 people. Smaller events: tastings available for a small fee.

50% deposit to lock the date, balance due 48 hours before service. Cards, ACH, Zelle — whatever's easiest.

What if my guest count changes?

Accepted Answer

Final headcount is locked 72 hours out. Up or down 10% is fine — bigger swings, just call us, we'll figure it out.

Allergies?

Tell us upfront. We'll flag every dish and prep allergy-safe portions in a separate station. We take this seriously.

Question 13

Do you do plated service or just buffet?

Accepted Answer

Both. Family-style, buffet, plated, action stations, late-night snacks — pick your fighter.

Question 14

Can we customize the menu?
