I would highly recommend Paul & Stephanie! I was connected with ECCC through thumbtack and was impressed with their responsiveness to my questions. They prepared an incredible tasting and were flexible on changes that were made to the menu. As it got closer to the wedding, we hadn’t had a chance to taste the desserts and Paul and Stephanie brought them to my work so that I had an opportunity to try those. I was really grateful for that (and so were my coworkers). They arrived on time for the wedding and all the food tasted amazing. The appetizers for cocktail hour were a hugh hit. I cannot express enough how happy I am at how incredible the food was! And it was delicious as leftovers! :)

I couldnt have asked for a better catering company. These guys were super helpful and made my life a lot easier ;). Everyone loved the food at my wedding and the fact that they could make everything gluten and dairy free for me was amazing! After much research I found that these guys were cheaper than the other caterers Id found and they served quite a bit of food. I highly recommend Emerald City and would definitely use them again.

Chef Paul and Stephanie recently catered my wedding. They were prompt, professional, and worked with us to design the custom menu of our dreams for an affordable price! My husband and I shopped around before selecting them, and you will not be able to find a better value in the Puget Sound region. Importantly, Chef Paul has a diverse repertoire and the taste and presentation of their food are top-notch. Our guests were blown away by the food and we got so many compliments on many different dishes that were served. Favorites from our wedding were the poke, salmon, kalua pork, grilled Mexican street corn, lemon and carrot mini cupcakes, mushroom crostini appetizers, habanero salsa and authentic dairy-free horchata. They also prepared many fresh toppings for the taco bar and brought all the condiments we wanted. They are also very friendly and provide excellent service. If you are looking for a delicious, custom menu at an affordable price, you can depend on Chef Paul and Stephanie to deliver!

Paul was very helpful during the entire process. He delivered cupcakes to my work for me to try so that I did not have to fight traffic after work to get to Seattle. They delivered & set up our cupcakes the day of our wedding, and were very affordable. The display turned out fabulous!

Paul and Stephanie awesome!

We hired them to cater for our brunch wedding. We told them what we wanted and how much we could afford. They worked right in our price range and gave us exactly what we wanted. They even did a tasting for us. The tasting was delicious and we ended up going with 95% of what they suggested. The day of the wedding went perfectly. Everyone loved the food! They cleaned up and were out in good time. I would hire them again in a heart beat.

Thank you Paul and Stephanie!

As far as value goes, you cannot beat Emerald City Cakes and Chocolates. My wedding planner very bluntly told me I might as well hire a food truck after I told her my catering budget; my dreams of a formal plated meal were quickly withering. Paul and Stephanie drove to my house to do an in-home tasting of the foods I requested (Italian-style). The food was phenomenal, and Paul and Stephanie worked with my budget for the plated dinner of my dreams, going over every detail with me and bringing the rented dish ware to and from the venue with no extra charge. My venue also didn't have a full kitchen, only a preparation area with a sink. Several other caterers had told me that a plated meal was impossible with the resources given. Paul and Stephanie told me with complete confidence that it could be done, and that they would bring their own supplies if needed (which they did). The food for the day-of was to die for, and they were very flexible with my particular desires. They provided regular fettuccine alfredo as the vegetation option, adding chicken for the rest of the guests. They were very easy going about my constantly fluctuating guest count, and their staff was very kind. The only reason I took half a star for quality of service and flexibility, and one full star for professionalism, was because of some minor setbacks for the day of. Given that it was an italian stye menu and rolls had been ordered, myself and many of my guests requested butter to go with the rolls. I was told that since butter hadn't been specifically requested ahead of time, they hadn't brought any. I had simply assumed that it was a given that butter be served with dinner rolls. They also didn't bring salt and pepper for personal seasoning, because it also hadn't specifically requested. This wasn't as upsetting as the rudeness with which the news was delivered, and many of my questions were met with irritated, borderline sarcastic responses from one of the staff members.

I had initially given Paul and Stephanie and overall review score of 4.5/5.00 prior to the wedding because I was giving them a lot of grace. I was planning a winter wedding so I thought that communication was poor because we were communicating primarily through their peak season busyness. Before we booked them, they would respond within the week. After we booked them, it would take well over a week to get a response, but generally the response would be "We were super busy this week with this and this event, we'll get a response to you by tonight when we get back into the office." And then it would be another week or so before we got a full response with all of our questions answered.

My wedding was in January 2017 and by November, I was a bit nervous because it was coming close to our wedding so I actually said, hey I know we're still two months out, but the lack of communication is actually making us nervous. Will you guys be better leading into the few weeks before the wedding? They were very professional in handling it and they apologized profusely. However, communication would still take a week. By the time January rolled around, my husband and I kind of chose to just not worry about it. If they show up and do well, we'll pay them. If not, we'll just run to costco and order a bunch of pizzas. But the good news, they showed up and they did well!

Their food was great, I couldn't be happier. My family was very satisfied with the food too, which means a lot to me because my family generally doesn't like American food for weddings and prefer to have weddings at Chinese restaurants. They provided all of the linens & china rentals, they did our dessert spread and that was DELICIOUS! The amazing Pink Champagne cake makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

Communication could work a bit, but overall, service was pretty good!

I would not suggest using this company. The food was good but they arrived hours late to our wedding, completely missing our cocktail hour and putting our entire day behind schedule. There was severe lack of responsivenss, ownership, and overall professionalism.

We booked Emerald City Chocolates and Cakes for our wedding to do our catering. Paul was very good about emailing back throughout the process of finding out what we would like for our menu, prices, etc. However, once we signed the contract, gave our deposit (lost our $500), and tried the food (very good food), communication almost ceased completely. A little more than a month away from our wedding, I called and emailed multiple times and did not receive a reply from either paul or stephanie for 13 days. When she did reply, I asked a follow up question only to be kept waiting another 5-6 days with no answer...at that 6th day we made the choice to go with a well known restaurant in the area just for peace of mind. Friendly couple, he makes great food, but not completely trustworthy in my opinion. Definitely didn't feel at ease about catering for our event until we cut our losses and booked OSF. I hate hate HATE leaving negative reviews or hurting anybody's feelings, but I feel compelled to warn any of those "extra anxious" brides or those who can't afford to take a loss that big financially.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
