Sawatdee Wedding Catering

We chose Sawatdee Thai food for our wedding catering as we wanted something more unique and reflective of our food preferences than the more generic plated food common at weddings. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough for wedding catering - they were professional, communicative, punctual and most importantly, the food was delicious! We knew we would be so excited to have Thai food for our wedding dinner, but we had so many guests tell us they were excited as well, and got so many compliments after dinner. Highly recommend them for catering events!

Ridiculously Thorough Hospitality

We hired Sawatdee to cater our wedding and were absolutely blown away by the quality of their service. From the beginning, Cyndy helped us work out *every* single detail, which is saying a lot because we had an exhaustive amount of questions and requests. She was always responsive, available, and helpful. The cocktail hour spread was so beautifully laid out. They printed a menu for our guests and brought extra spices and sauces on the side for the buffet dinner. They even cut our wedding cake for us. The staff were so efficient and it was awesome seeing them have a good time at our wedding. To top it off, the food at our wedding was the best we've ever had from Sawatdee - guests, even including our grandmothers and my great grandmother, went out of their way to rave to us about how much they loved the food. We ate the leftovers at work for lunch for a week and made me feel emotional every time. I can't recommend Sawatdee enough if you are looking for something other than dry Italian chicken or steak for your event catering. You won't regret it, and your guests won't either!

Excellent Buffet Service

The entire team at Sawatdee was awesome to work with- Cyndy was awesome to work with. We had a fair amount of dietary restrictions and requirements and Cyndy made sure that every single one of our guests was accommodated and taken care of. The entire team was very timely, cleanly, and handled the entire meal service with ease. We got some many complements on our food from all our guests! Would certainly recommend, especially if you are already a fan of Sawatdee!

Small Private Wedding

My husband and I hosted a small wedding celebration for our daughter. The space was perfect for our party of 15 people, but more could easily be accommodated. Our family has loved Sawatdee for years and the private room at the Washington location seemed perfect for what we wanted. The manager, Cyndy, was great. Easy to communicate with, responded to questions etc quickly, flexible- we wavered between having the wedding in the Sawatdee space and an outdoor location and she was fine with either (we ended up having the wedding in a park and then going to the restaurant for the reception.) We had left candles and flower arrangements for the table earlier in the day and they set it up for us. And there is a huge floral mural on the wall that really makes the space lovely. Our appetizers and preselected bottles of wine were ready when we arrived so we could immediately toast the bride and groom and have a little social time. We then individually ordered off the menu and everyone (even the picky eaters in the party who were unfamiliar with Thai food) loved their dishes. It was easy for the guests that wanted something other than wine to order from the bar. The service was fast and the server was wonderful. We couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. My daughter said it was "magical".

Above & beyond every expectation!

Cyndy at her team at Sawatdee were outstanding to work with and we could not have asked for a better caterer to trust with the dinner service at our wedding. Cyndy put in so much work before the day, meeting with our venue coordinator to discuss the logistics of the space and even having one on one conversations with our guests who had specific dietary restrictions. She is extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. On our wedding day, the buffet was beautiful and full of some of the best Thai food we've ever had. All of the food was clearly marked with what common allergens it contained, so rest assured that any of your guests with dietary restrictions will know exactly what they can eat. Dinner service through the buffet was quick and smooth, and the Sawatdee team was out immediately after clearing plates. Many of our guests said the food at our wedding was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Beyond the delicious food and efficient staff, the best part for me as a bride about working with Sawatdee was knowing that I was leaving a huge part of our evening in confident, competent hands. We could not recommend Sawatdee any more!

Amazing Wedding Food!

From our tasting to our wedding, the owner/coordinator, Cyndy, was very responsive and accommodating. The food was delicious and any modifications we mentioned at the tasting were noted and taken care of at the wedding (ex: limes instead of lemons). The food was delicious and fun to have at our wedding! We and our guests loved it!

Wonderful food and service for our rehearsal diner

The Sawatdee team provided us with an absolutely excellent catering experience for our wedding rehearsal diner. Cyndy made sure the whole process was easy and simple from start to finish, and everything ran seamlessly on the day of our event. We and our guests loved the food! I could hardly believe how tender the chicken in the red curry was - so tasty! I would recommend Sawatdee without hesitation to anyone looking to cater their event.
