A Catering Dream Come True for Dietary Restrictions

We are so lucky that we chose Crave Catering to cater our September 2025 wedding!! One of the most important choices that we made in our planning process was catering. We had several dietary restrictions and allergies to consider for ourselves and our guests and Crave made it effortless and exciting to come up with alternatives. And the food was FANTASTIC! When choosing our menu, Crave gave us so many options, that choosing our menu became more exciting than stressful (unlike other catering companies we viewed prior to finding Crave). The food was incredible and everyone was able to dance on the dance floor without feeling weighed down by the meal (very important)! It was beyond our expectations and luckily we were sent home with leftovers so we got to enjoy it for a few more days. All of our guests continue to talk about how incredible the food was which is quite the compliment to Crave! I would HIGHLY recommend choosing Crave for your event or wedding. I promise, you won't regret it!

Absolutely Incredible to Work With!

The ENTIRE team at Crave Catering was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish! Katie was incredibly helpful and responsive in the lead up to our big day, and then staff at our event (especially Julie, the bar manager) were sooo lovely to get to meet and have with us on our special day! We really couldn’t recommend Crave highly enough, they made the entire process easy and enjoyable, offered great options and prices, and the food was to die for!! 10/10 to Crave Catering and their staff, because they were one of our favourite vendors of the day! We love you Crave Catering!

The Crave team is top notch!

The outstanding work of Crave is something my husband and I and our guests still talk about weeks after our wedding. Kerry in particular advocated for us, double and triple checked all of our orders and rental needs, and worked with her team to ensure that we had everything we dreamed of. I never once worried about the food and heard absolutely no complaints! Gregory was also incredible, prepared, and positive. The chefs rocked some amazing food - get the corn fritters, trust me! The staff was so incredibly on top of all platters, glasses, and really made our drink-happy guests pleased with their fast and quality bar service. There was never an eye roll at drink requests or watered down beverages - everything, to the tee, was done with perfection. Even our families raved at the end of the night about how well the staff packed up their cars with leftovers!! This will not be your cheapest vendor, but the cost is absolutely worth it. Not only will you be rewarded with delicious food, but you and your guests will be treated so well by the amazing Crave team.

Vegan Wedding

We had a fully vegan wedding and were shocked at how many options they had! We didn't even have to give examples or recipes for vegan options, they had a full menu already set for us to choose from. They were also very flexible with the menu and let us replace one of the side dishes with a third main dish. We had a lot of skeptical wedding guests that think they don't like vegan food but they loved it! The presentation of the food was phenomenal as well!

Crave also took care of coordinating all our rentals - tables, linens, etc. The only negative I could say about them is that I requested no broccoli (my cousin is severely allergic) and there was broccoli serves so she had to stand outside for the majority of the reception.

Delicious Wedding Food

Crave was the first tasting we had during our planning process and they set the bar really high which made it easy to select them as our caterer! Kelsea was super responsive and easy to work with and we didn't have to worry about anything from start to finish. We had a few people tell us that "no one remembers the food at weddings" but I think it is safe to say that is not / will not be the case for our wedding. We have already had numerous people tell us that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding and I can't tell you how many people have raved about the salmon in particular! We were really drawn to the PNW vibe and farm to table approach that Crave offers and are so glad we went with them!

Farm to Table and they mean it!

Both Crave’s food and service was so good. We knew that we wanted food to be an important part of the wedding, and Crave delivered! Being able to see them freshly preparing and plating up food was a real joy, and the quality and presentation of the food was just as good. We loved that Crave’s approach was very much quality over quantity, and nothing was too heavy or overly portioned, which left our guests with room for cake, and energy for dancing. Finally, our experience with Crave’s event coordinator was excellent! She was very attentive to our needs, and even made up some custom menu cards for us!

Guests were so happy with this food!

So many good things to say about Crave catering!

Firstly, they were fabulous to work with. From day one they worked with us on our budget, options, and ideas to make sure everything was exactly what we needed. They met each idea with totally open minds and great enthusiasm. They were just so much fun every time we met with them, and totally on top of everything.

Then there's the food - everything is so fresh and beautiful. All the food comes from their farm, or a nearby partner - and their passion for GOOD food really shows. All of our guests couldn't stop talking about delicious it was. No bland wedding food if you're working with these folks! So grateful we found them!

My husband and I can’t express enough our gratitude for Crave Catering. Specifically, our appreciation for Lilie. We absolutely loved working with Lilie. She truly is the best and beyond great at what she does. She was responsive to all of our emails and inquiries. She worked closely with our rental company to rent everything that we needed for our wedding. She was present the entire day of our wedding and ensured everything stayed on schedule. She listened to all of our requests; and at times when we kept changing our minds going back and forth, she was always patient and continued to provide superb service. Lilie truly went above and beyond our expectations and she's amazing! She played a huge part in the success of our wedding day. Also to mention that the food was great! Our guests loved everything from the hors d’oeuvres to the desserts. I highly recommend Crave Catering and if you can, request to work with Lilie! We love you Crave!

Our experience with Crave was awesome! From the tasting to the wedding, they were very easy to work with and the food was amazing. We were blown away by the tasting and how delicious everything was, especially the cedar plan salmon. At the wedding we loved that they cook on site and this sets them apart from other companies and they use very fresh ingredients. Everyone at my wedding raved about the food and the Grilled Beef Shortribs were a hit. If you go with Crave, you will not be disappointed!

We looked at several catering options for our October wedding. We were so impressed with the quality of customer service, knowledge, and the delicious and fresh NW food. When it comes to wedding planning you want to work with someone who knows what they're doing and can ask the questions that you may not think of. Lilie and her team were amazing. From constant communication with us and our venue to providing personal touches on our wedding - we couldn't have been happier. Not to mention the food was amazing and fresh. We've been married over a month and I'm still getting complimented on how delicious the food was. Thank you to Lilie and her team for making our wedding fun, beautiful, and serving up some amazing food!
