Highly Recommend!

We used Busy Bee Catering for our Son & DIL’s post-wedding brunch and it was amazing! Not only was the food delicious, plentiful and beautiful but Jan was an absolute pleasure to work with. We decided on the menu - all of Jan’s menu suggestions were spot-on - and her team executed the event with precision & creativity. The on-site team was delightful and so accommodating. We had a few guests with food allergies/specifications and they happily complied with every detail. We live in Florida and it was very simple to coordinate our brunch long distance. One particular detail I am so appreciative is that our venue fell through at the last minute and again, being from out of state, we were at a loss and panicked! Jan responded immediately with a number of ideas and in fact, helped us to secure the beautiful Mt. Hood Museum as the perfect spot. I appreciate Jan & her team at Busy Bee Catering; I recommend them with no hesitation.

Upscale small wedding luncheon

We were doing a COVID-19, small group wedding with 22 people in attendance. We wanted a catered upscale lunch that was individually packed to maintain COVID-19 guidelines. We met with Janet and she brainstormed with us and came up with a wonderful menu, including dessert. Her individual touches to the menu were greatly appreciated. Our guests were very complimentary about the lunch. Would use her again in a heartbeat.

The best catering we've ever had!

Jan was so amazing! It was seriously the best catering we have ever had! Their menu is huge, and Jan was so receptive and communicative throughout the whole process. I've attended so many weddings where the food was very mediocre. Every item from Busy Bee was so delicious! My partner and I are so incredibly grateful for how she listened and worked with us to create a great menu and how many vegan and vegetarian options she had. All the guests were raving, especially the vegan and vegetarian ones! Also, Jan was incredibly timely. She arrived right at the expect time. She was a big part of why our event was such a big success! Highly recommend!

Wow Linda, that makes me cry, especially after I made you almost cry! You know what I mean... Thanks for having us and for sharing the sweet compliments. Best to you both.
XOXO
Jan
