Down to the finest detail, every aspect of the catering was superb! The appetizers were delish, and the presentation was amazing. Dinner was wonderful, and everything flowed seamlessly . We were so happy that we were able to get their services.

Truly above and beyond in every way imaginable!

Kim, Clark and their family & staff truly are one in a million. Their quality of service is matched by the taste of their food. Kim and her creative ways of making food an elevated experience were truly more than we were expecting! Clark and Zack bartended at our wedding and they were such a hit with our guests and Clark worked to make my husband, Zach, and I our own speciality drinks for the event! Sam even helped with making sure that our place settings were perfect on the day and is amazingly skilled with her creative eye and detail oriented mindset!

They all truly have hearts of gold and we could not be any happier with our choice in working with them. My husband even surprised me with a dinner for our one year anniversary and they replicated the meal for us to perfection. If you are looking for a catering and mixology team with a #powercouple, look no further.

Lilac Mixology & Catering matched all of our requirements, and went above and beyond to show us they are more than just a vendor team. They treat you like family, and become a part of your day. Making you feel special all along the way by adding in little (and big) gestures all along the way.

If you're looking for food for your wedding or event, just stop looking now and BOOK THEM.
I have seriously referred them to anyone and everyone who asks!!
Thank you Phinney family for being a huge part in making our Best Day Ever truly amazing and unique. We love you!!!

Kim, Clark, and the entire team at Lilac are nothing but amazing. We have no doubt that we went with the best catering company in the area. All of the staff were so amazing from the time we first met at our tasting to saying goodbye at the end of our reception. Kim and Clark made it so difficult to narrow down our final menu because everything we tasted was amazing. Not to mention that our Mexican themed rehearsal dinner was to die for. I wish I had some of that cheese dip right now!
We are truly thankful that we had such an amazing team to make our whole wedding weekend perfect. Kim was so willing to accommodate all of our guests needs including our menu being completely but free and almost completely gluten free. All of our guests were so impressed with the food and drinks. The whole staff was so kind and accommodating and my husband and I were so surprised with how attentive Kim and Clark were to the two of us. You can not go wrong with these amazing people. We would recommend again and again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
