ACT 3 Catering

From the moment we walked into our first tasting my wife, mom, and I got the impression that Act 3 is a local company managed by folks that take great pride in participating in life’s most meaningful celebrations. Our first impression was solidified via Roslyn’s clear and consistent communication (without being overwhelming to the brides), planning assistance, and support through the big day and beyond. The event manager who supported us during the day, Marla, could not have been better in her role or more supportive.

Before getting into the event, I want to highlight our tasting. Compared the others we did, Act 3 stood out immediately. Not only was the food hot and top-tier restaurant quality, Act 3 served our requested menu items and made sure my mom (the host and mother of the bride [me!]), who is vegan and gluten free, was well fed. Not only were we given a “thank you for considering us” gift, they sent all the leftovers home with us. We ate the leftovers for a couple days. The mushroom risotto, which is hard to reheat, was fantastic two days later.

In the midst the of wedding chaos, somewhere between the glass of champagne Marla handed us after the ceremony and dinner, I wanted to email Roslyn and thank her. I was mentally drafting this review during our event. Act 3 was a huge part of making the day go smoothly, supported my bride and I, and kept the host sane.

The host (hi mom!) specifically asked me to include her thoughts in my review: “I would like you to make a special note that Marla. As Act 3’s event manager, Marla did more than just catering and was crucial to the success of the evening. She kept things on track and supported the mother of the bride, who was new to planning and hosting a wedding, especially with the timeline and keeping on schedule. It would have been so easy to get behind and have the wedding go off the rails. Not only did Marla take care of everyone, but she also paid special attention to me and the smoothness of the event."

The entire Act 3 team has been amazing from the moment of our first tasting, through the event, and afterwards. While we are excited that wedding planning is over, I'll miss working with Act 3. Next time we need catering for an event, I know what company to contact! Thank you, Roslyn, Marla, and the entire Act 3 team.

I regret not getting a shot of the food included in our “sneak peaks!” I plan on updating this review with them. But, because our wedding photographer was also AMAZING, I’m shouting her out. Her name is Ashley at Moments and Mountains Photography (Olympia Wedding & Elopement Photography | Moments & Mountains), a local and woman-owned business.

Our wedding day catering was wonderful. ACT 3 came in and seamlessly made sure that everyone had food and drink throughout cocktail hour and then once dinner was served. They were extremely helpful in making sure we got a menu that we wanted, even if some were custom items. The team was extremely attentive to us as the bride and groom making sure we never had to ask for a drink, and if we needed more food they were right there to make sure we got it. I was hesitant at first as catering is a huge piece of the budget, but they worked with us to make sure we got exactly what we needed, and were able to stay within the budget (in fact better than our budget) on our special day. The food stayed warm, and was delicious.

From the tasting session through the event wrap-up, Act 3 was a first-class partner in creating a memorable event for us and our guests. The tasting exposed us to another world, one we only experienced with corporate events, never thinking it would be within our means. The day of our vow renewal went smoothly. The staff was almost invisible, and the food was warm, full, and very tasty; in fact, I received several comments that the brisket was the best they have ever had. The only hiccup was when my wife and I misunderstood about taking the leftovers home with us. We had signed the contract stating the leftovers are returned to ACT 3, but we forgot about it. So at the end of our event, I asked how much food we would be taking home; I was informed we couldn't. They worked out a solution quickly and to our satisfaction. We would recommend ACT 3 Catering for food, service, professionalism, flexibility, and punctuality. We have never catered an event like this before, so the cost was eye-opening. However, I can say that working through the venue, we had an opportunity to be exposed to other caterers who were more expensive. The elephant in the room with all service-oriented businesses is the price. As far as the value goes, you get what you pay for, and Act 3 delivered.

Act3 catering exceeded my expectations. The cateringcoordinator, Roslyn Overall, met all my budget needs, design ideas, and menu planning. Catering a full course meal with 2 hot appetizers, 2 hot entrees, plus all the sides is an event in itself. The food was hot and delicious and the servers were professional and knowledgeable. This was for my daughter’s wedding and planning was just about 1 year in advance. I would not hesitate to use Act3 for your catering needs, as they are well versed in all ethic choices of meals. Thank you again!!!

From the moment I reached out to ACT 3 Catering, I was impressed by their responsiveness and exceptional customer service. The planning process was smooth and stress-free, and the team was wonderful to work with every step of the way.
Of course, the food itself was delicious. They catered my wedding, and even now I continue to receive compliments from guests about how amazing everything tasted! I am so grateful I had the opportunity to work with them and would wholeheartedly recommend ACT 3 Catering to anyone looking for outstanding food and an easy, enjoyable planning experience.

Act 3 made every part of wedding day run so smoothly and everyone loved the food! They were so professional, kind, attentive, and amazing to work with! If you’re wondering if you should book them, you should!!

Act3 helped make our most special day absolutely perfect! Working with Act3 was the easiest process from submitting an inquiry to wedding clean up. Their whole team made us feel so special and allowed us to fully soak in our entire wedding day. And beyond the amazing service we received, we also still have family and friends talking about the most delicious food. #MyACT3Wedding

We refer Act3 to all of our friends and keep looking for opportunities to work with them again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better team to cover our wedding in September! We had about 40 guests and did our own planning so it was great to work with the very capable team at Act 3. Roslyn was amazing and guided us along the way, providing all the information we needed in a timely manner. The entire process, from the tasting to the hand-off for day-of coordination, went smoothly. There was great communication throughout and Roslyn responded promptly to all our questions and provided helpful insights when needed. We were also able to rent additional linens and tableware from other vendors through Act 3 which really helped streamline things for us.
As with the tasting, the food on the wedding day was delicious! Our guests enjoyed it and the Act 3 team was very gracious in accommodating guests’ requests during dinner service. The presentation, taste, service were all very well done. We especially appreciated their attention to us as bride & groom, ensuring that we were fed and hydrated throughout the evening! Highly recommend! (Photography credit: https://hannahhix.com)

Okay to start, I booked ACT 3 almost 2 years before my wedding and my coordinator Devi was thorough, responsive, and attentive that ENTIRE time. We chose ACT 3 after trying a couple other (more expensive) catering services and were blown away by the quality and customizability. We had several changes we needed made to various items and it was a no brainer.

When it came to rentals I had a very specific vision in mind and needed to mix and match from several rental companies but Devi managed it all seamlessly. I wish someone had captured our reaction to the dining room because we were absolutely blown away.

The food was incredible! We heard several times that night that it was the best wedding food our guests have had and wished they could take home extras. Everything was well seasoned and all our little requests were perfectly executed. We chose the premium bar option and it had a little something for everyone. We absolutely loved that we got a to go box so we could eat at the end of the night and the vendors were so appreciative of the generous portions.

The ACT 3 team was so incredibly attentive and on top of whatever we could need! At one point when I realized I hadn't gotten to have any deviled eggs, the team quickly hunted the last ones down and brought them to me. They were also so sweet in constantly making sure I had a drink and were sure to let me know when the champagne was running low so I didn't miss out on it.

I can't recommend ACT 3 for any special event enough!

ACT 3 was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The food was absolutely phenomenal. The presentation was beautiful, the food full of flavor, and every choice was tailored perfectly to reflect our story. There was not one guest who left hungry or unsatisfied! But beyond the incredible menu, what truly stood out was the warmth, professionalism, and care their team (especially Devi) brought to every detail. They made the planning process seamless, handled everything with grace, and created an experience that felt personal and unforgettable. We’re so grateful they helped make our special day so magical.
