Mimi and her team at Signature Affair were our wedding planner and also our caterer.
Catering: The #1 comment we get about our wedding is, "the food was so good!" and "that's the best food I've ever had at a wedding. Or even some fancy restaurants!". The catering is some of the best food I have ever had. We had 130 guests at a farmhouse wedding in Helvetia Oregon. SA has books worth of tried and true recipes - they can create a menu to meet whatever your heart desires. An oven is brought to the property and the food is cooked FRESH on site.
Wedding planning: (partial wedding planning package) With decades of wedding planning, Mimi and her team are experts. They are incredibly knowledgeable, easy to work with, kind, and helpful. They know when you need extra guidance, but also let you create and execute your own vision.
They go above and beyond to make sure your day is everything you hoped for; they are as invested in your day as you are. You will not find a better company or team. I can honestly say there was not a single thing that went wrong on the wedding day (I'm sure there was - but I didn't know about it because Mimi and team took care of it ALL!). 100% highly highly recommended.

Mimi and her team are amazing - she was also our partial coordinator and she made sure to be available for us whenever we needed her. She was very detailed with the catering offerings - helped us determine the right amount of food for our headcount and delivered a meal our guests are still talking about weeks later.

Mimi and her team helped us throw a brunch wedding for 80 of closest family and friends! She was beyond a pro and took such great care of us on the day. She was very available for calls and emails and walk throughs ahead of our event. Would highly recommend if you want a seasoned veteran to help you with your big day!

Mimi Bass, Signature Affair, is hands down the reason our wedding was perfect. There is not one thing we would have changed or wished to have gone differently. Mimi and her team provided the planning and catering and curated a princess wedding with incredible food at an affordable price. Mimi's attention to detail and understanding of our needs was exceptional. She found a florist and photographer at the level of service and price we wanted, and the results of the flowers and photos are phenomenal. Signature Affair's catering was a delicious work of art. The menu met everyone's dietary needs, and every dish was something you would find at a five-star restaurant. We truly enjoyed working with Mimi. She hand-held us through the process with sage advice and made the planning fun. We were on a strict budget, but Mimi somehow took our budget and made a magical, fancy, perfectly run wedding that we will always cherish.

Having worked for the Food Section of the Oregonian newspaper for nearly 25 years, I knew we wanted something special & unique. I’ve cooked for friends & family and knew they would expect something out of the ordinary. Mimi and her staff at Signature Affair did not disappoint. Mimi was very helpful in every step of the planning and the food was a huge success. Sharon Maasdam

Mimi gives personalized service in an honest, clear, and organized manner. She prepared our hot food on site so it had the freshest possible presentation; It was both beautiful and delicious. We have friends that have been in the catering business and they continue to compliment us on Mimi's food and the professionalism of her team. Mimi's menu options were extensive. She took extra care to protect our family from cross contamination for allergies and celiac disease. Not a single individual had any reported difficulty. Mimi clearly puts her heart into her business and each event that has her name on it. We feel very grateful for her personal attention. She worked with us on our budget, giving us several ideas about how to contain costs. She knows her business and cares.

Mimi and the whole Signature Affair team are WONDERFUL to work with! Prior to the wedding, Mimi was there for me anytime I needed her to answer any questions I had and to help me stay organized. Her assistant Lana would always follow-up with me via email to send over helpful information (vendor suggestions, packing lists, timeline drafts, etc.) and summarize what Mimi and I had talked about so I could keep track of my to-do list. On the wedding day, Mimi made sure everything ran smoothly and turned out how I envisioned it perfectly. She kept everything on schedule and handled all the vendors, and even packed up most of our reception site for us at the end of the night so we wouldn't have much to do in the morning. We seriously couldn't have done it without her and her crew!

Not to mention, the food was amazing! We had multiple guests tell us that it was the best wedding food they've ever had (and they've been to a lot of weddings). Our guests particularly raved about the beef tenderloin and how it was perfectly cooked. My husband and I are vegetarian, and Mimi went above and beyond by customizing our menu so that the two of us could have a veggie version of the meal (portabella "steaks" - yum!).

All in all, book Signature Affair for your wedding!! You will definitely not regret it :)

Mimi and the Signature Affair team were an incredible joy to work with! My whole experience working with the team was nothing but positive. Mimi is a seasoned pro in the wedding industry, and from my first call with her, I knew I would be in secure hands to have the Signature Affair team make my dream wedding come true. Even better, Mimi worked so well within our budget and even gave us amazing suggestions that I never would have thought of in the first place. If you're a clueless bride like I was, the team will thoroughly walk you every step of the way to make sure your vision is being brought to life.

We originally asked the team to cater our event, but we also decided to work with Mimi as our day-of coordinator at the very last minute (like a couple weeks before our wedding). Mimi graciously accepted out of the goodness of her heart... and her level of quality
and professionalism was unmatched! This is definitely worth mentioning because even though the Signature Affair team has a record number of events/brides that they work with, you wouldn't even know it by how special/prioritized you are treated in every consultation. Lastly, my wedding was pulled off without a hitch! Mimi lets you be as hands-on/hand-off as you want for your wedding, and I really just gave her full control of the day because I trusted her that much. She's incredible at reading your guests and knows exactly how timing should be worked depending on the flow/vibe of the wedding. At the end of the night, I had nothing but raving compliments about the food, service, and the SA team. This is your sign to contact them now - you will NOT regret it!

Bonus: Mimi also put my cake flowers on my wedding cake and it was breathtaking!

This is a long review.
I want to say in the beginning that I would recommend that you contact Signature Affair as soon as you choose a date. They are an incredibly knowledgeable team and most importantly, they want to help you have the event that You want. You will thank your lucky stars that you found them early enough to get booked.

Signature Affair provided excellent guidance and service for our 50th wedding Anniversary in our backyard in mid August. I contacted Mimi in mid April for our event in mid August. We were headed to our son’s wedding on the east coast in mid May, then an extended trip in Europe and would not return until mid July.

Although she was already booked for our date, she offered to help us find vendors, review back yard to suggest how to accommodate 50+ guests, and share her event planning experience with us. She came to our house with sample menus, chair, table cloth options, and an experienced eye for setting up guest tables, seating, self service beverages ( we provided our own beverages- alcoholic and non alcoholic). In a couple of hours we had a solid skeleton of everything we needed for our event, and made preliminary reservations with an estimate of the number of guests. We also had cost estimates for everything. Mimi and her team found an available caterer for international food, secured reservations for (including set up and take down) tables, table cloths, chairs, and party accessories, Mimi agreed to do flower arrangements for the tables ( delivered them the day before) and facilitated all contracts for us to sign with vendors. And everything was open to modification when we returned in July. We had no worries while we were gone :-)
Upon our return, in the midst of their MANY scheduled events, Signature Affair contacted us to make final decisions, Mimi came to our house again, took notes on our discussion and sent us a list of things we agreed to do ( including a shopping list) and a list of things she would do (including delivery schedule.

We have been the parents of the bride and parents of the groom for our two children’s weddings outside of Portland (which were wonderful). We value quality, advice that reflects our “vision”, and personable and caring staff.
Signature Affair provided top quality service at a very reasonable price for our less than a wedding, but way more than a party celebration. They are truly on your side and will help you make your dreams come true.
Have you contacted them yet???

Mimi and staff were incredibly helpful, punctual, communicative, professional and thoughtful. Wonderful service. Bravo Bravo.
