Wonderful food and excellent service

The Dalton staff allowed us to customize our reception so it was perfect for us. Their pricing value for money was wonderful and they were very helpful. In addition they really paid attention to detail and went above and beyond (they got flowers for their catering tables that matched our colors! We hadn't expected that and it was beautiful). And last but not least, all the food was absolutely delicious. It looked amazing and tasted even better, I only wish I could have eaten more!! You will not be disappointed with them, they really know what they are doing and care, and have great expertise. Absolutely recommend them to anyone.

Exceptional service

Dalton’s Catering was amazing!!!! The food was beyond delicious, all of our guests raved about it. Not only was the food delicious, but the staff was VERY professional and beyond helpful. They setup and cleaned up everything. We also rented chairs, tables and had them run the bar. We couldn’t have been happier!!!!

Out of this world service and food!

Nicole at Dalton's Northwest Catering was perfect. She handled all of my thousands of questions, and was so organized. She and the catering team were the stars of my wedding and provided the most perfect service and delicious food. Every single person at my wedding told me that this was not regular wedding food, it was beyond delicious food.

My husband and I are so happy that we had Dalton's Northwest Catering at our wedding. Everyone know that a really good party depends on the food, and it was perfect. The staff even cleaned up all my decorations and had them all boxed up and ready for my family to put easily into their cars at the end of the night. Basically anything I asked for, they said yes, and they made it awesome.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Dave Dalton and his team were absolutely excellent for our wedding. Professional communication, extremely accommodating (they had meetings with our venue staff, let us drop off alcohol early with them and brought it for us, AND went to get more wine when we ran out mid cocktail hour), and created absolutely delicious food and beautiful display for our guests. Not to mention they are incredibly reasonably priced and have a lot of options when it comes to customizing your package - they don't require you to serve only their food and beverages like a ton of catering companies - but they will happily provide as much service as you want! As mentioned above we provided our own liquor and they were happy to provide a bartender and serve it, and we purchased our own dessert as well and they sliced and served our wedding cake. Their staff were awesome at the wedding, very courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend this company for a wedding or any event.

Dave and his team are fantastic! He catered my wedding a couple summers back and from then, I've had him cater multiple friends weddings, weddings I've coordinated and even corporate events. HE IS AMAZING. His staff is amazing at fruit displays and meeting your specific needs / desires / dietary restrictions. One wedding I coordinated wanted Cuban food (I was a little skeptical) but he knocked it out of the park! He will customize your package and work with you on all your needs. He also has a full service package with silverware and plates so you don't get the feeling of being nickel-and-dimed. You won't be disappointed.

Dave and his team were fantastic! The food was delicious and we had so many compliments from guests on how amazing everything was. The buffet setup was beautiful, and the linens and chairs were perfect with our decor style. They also handled our bar, which was great! Dave is easy to work with, prompt with communication, and very professional. His prices are competitive and a great value for the delicious food he prepares. Highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
