Simply delicious

We were very happy with rustic root. Jessica was easy to work with and provided us and our guests with one of the best meals we’ve had. The food was the most praised part of our wedding! I will reach out to them again if I have a need for a caterer. 100% impressed!

The short version: Jessica and Rustic Root are professional, tasty, and a great fit for any event.

The long version:
I originally found Jessica through good ol' Google. As a Seattle resident getting married in Cle Elum, I was looking for a caterer that could provide amazing food for my wedding without an insane, "we-traveled-from-Seattle" price tag. I looked up Jessica's menu and website, and my fiance and I found ourselves more and more excited with each menu item. We decided we had to set up a time to meet.
At our initial consultation at the Roslyn Cafe (which Jessica and her husband also own- now an essential stop whenever we are in the Cle Elum area), Jessica's professionalism became ever-apparent. She sat down with us, our families, and our wedding planner, and meticulously noted our conversation about our likes, dislikes, and wishes in a wedding menu. She served us some amazing food, and we were certain, upon first bite, that our search for a caterer was over. Seriously- the food is absolutely amazing. Plus, Jessica was incredibly receptive to feedback (like to make meatballs smaller, etc.).
We had a few more consults, including a site check, on the way to the wedding. Jessica is incredibly experienced in this field, and has a strong team. She also has a fully functioning trailer kitchen, so didn't even need to use the kitchen at our venue- a huge plus.
My wedding guests were beyond pleased with the delicious food served at our wedding (in fact, not a drop was left over, and not due to lack of food!). Jessica's flavorful food, paired with her great service, made her the perfect caterer for our event. Definitely use Rustic Root if you are in the area, and stop by the Roslyn Cafe if you need a great meal in central Washington!

When planning our wedding my FH and I had items we were not willing to compromise on, my now husband's was the food. We had heard Rustic Root Catering mentioned by our venue and decided to inquire about a tasting. Jessica was great and the food we tasted SOLD us on her services and the result on the big day did not disappoint. Our food was exactly what we wanted and tasted AMAZING - so flavorful and fresh. We had a couple foodies in our guest group and even they had positive feedback! Overall a great decision!
