Delicious, hospitable and professional!

Oh, how I loved the food at our wedding and wish I could eat it on a regular basis! Rafati's was already on my list of caterers to contact when I was delighted to realize they were the exclusive caterer at our venue, The Tiffany Center. Georgia Rafati was so calming and thoughtful to work with, outlining a detailed event plan for our reception and setting up an exceptional tasting several weeks before the wedding. Her team impressed us with their delicious food, hospitality and ability to keep a buffet line for 190 people moving smoothly. I have been to many large-scale gala events with rubbery chicken, soggy salad and indistinguishable starchy mush. Rafati's had the menu of my dreams – elegant, delicious and healthy dishes that appealed to a broad group of guests. Yum!

Had a wedding with over 200 people! Georgia and her staff were fantastic at helping us plan the menu, plan how to set everything up for ease of our guests as well as ourselves. The food was excellent, and as difficult as it can be to keep 200+ people happy, (a decent percentage of our guests will admit to being food snobs,) there were rave reviews all around! I would recommend Rafati's in a heartbeat!

Our wedding was at the Tiffany Center, and Rafati's is the exclusive caterer. We know we wanted to design our own menu that will reflect our unique tastes and love for food, and they were so willing and happy to help us designing the perfect menu! Pricing is also extremely fair and they are willing to work within your budget. Every guests we talked to love the food, and cannot stop talking about how creative, delicious and fresh everything is. We had such a fun and great time planning the reception, it was not stressful at all. There is no hidden cost, which I appreciate - everything is outlined upfront and clear. I will highly recommend Rafati's to everyone.

I also wrote a review for Tiffany Center, which Rafati's is catered with. But Georgia and her staff is amazing at what they do. They are extremely professional, pleasant and easy to work with, flexible and sensitive to your needs, and the food is great! You can't beat the price for the quality of food you get. The steak, salmon, the appetizers, and don't forget to get the risotto cake!! I've been telling everyone about the Tiffany Center and Rafati's since we got married 3 weeks ago!

As a bride planning a remote wedding (from Europe), I appreciated Georgia's responsiveness to email requests and questions, despite what must be a grueling schedule catering weddings and events throughout the summer and early fall.

More importantly, however, her staff was incredibly accommodating the night of our event. They worked hard to set up in under 2.5 hours, thought ahead to ask about little details, and generally ensured that everything ran smoothly (which it did).

I also received a number of compliments on the food and desserts. Not that I had much time to eat (what bride does?), but all of the feedback was excellent and people were raving about Italian feast! Thanks Rafati's!

Georgia and the Rafati's team were so incredibly wonderful to work with. My husband and I had never even thought about food/drinks for our guests and wouldn't have even known where to start. From our first meeting with Georgia, everything was smooth. If I had any questions, she was right on the ball. And if there were items that I didn't have, she offered up her own, i.e., cake cutter/server, tea light holders, etc. Our actual wedding reception was just beautiful. The food was so incredibly amazing. The bartender was a hit. Their team made sure we had everything we needed, that we did but have to worry about a single detail at all which is so important for such a significant night.

I would highly recommend Rafati's to anyone, not just my family and friends. You won't be disappointed!

Thank you Georgia and to your wonderful staff!!!

I cannot say enough great things about Rafati's Catering! We had a Fall wedding and wanted to create a menu that celebrated some of our favorite Fall comfort foods. We wanted it to be kid friendly (we have three kids- and since it was a family wedding we wanted them to be excited about our menu too!), yet sophisticated enough for our adult friends and family too (we had lots of Foodies in the bunch, so the pressure was on!). Oh, and I'm vegetarian so that little detail was important too. Rafati's crated a custom menu for us that captured our vision- and then blew our minds! Everything was better than we could have hoped for! The food was delicious, and the service was amazing, and the prices were unbeatable. Three months later, our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed our menu.
Rafati's Catering is hands down best value out there. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a talented, imaginative, and affordable caterer to help make their special event a memorial one. Thank you Rafati's!

Our daughter's wedding reception was fabulous! From the first time we met Nazli in February to plan our event, we were very impressed with her professionalism, organization, confidence and reassurance.

The even was perfect. Dinner was delicious. Meal was warm, perfectly prepared and the crowd (250+) moved very smoothly and timely.

Nazli remained with us the entire night frequently checking on us to be sure our needs were met.

The entire staff was so nice and helpful everytime I called with any type of question or concern!

My husband and I had our wedding at The Tiffany Center in downtown Portland with Rafatis catering. We had never tasted the food before the event but LOVED everything. The food was warm, fresh, and delicious (hard to do with 260 guests)! The servers were also very polite and the serves was fantastic. Many of our guest commented on how wonderful it was. I would recommend the Tiffany Center and Rafatis catering to anyone. Plus the prices are VERY reasonable!
