50th Wedding Anniversary Party

From start to finish, Brian is a consummate professional! He was easy to work with, quickly responsive, accommodating with our desires and flexible with the space we had available to stage and set up the buffet. He gave great suggestions and the food was marvelous! He served 8 appetizers that everyone raved about. His staff and servers were wonderful!

Amazing Service!

They decorated their tables so nice and even one of the workers fixed my dress before entering the reception!! So nice and had everything packed for us at the end of the night to make it easy for us. I’ll always recommend them!

Brian was amazing to work with from the very beginning. It was difficult finding someone to cater on Whidbey Island with many vendors having obligations booked years in advance. Brian was willing to work with us and travel to the island with no concerns or complaints. I received several compliments on how great the food was and the staff was more than accommodating during our wedding. Special Occasions Catering has many options with the highest quality ingredients and they truly take pride in their work. I will come to Brian and Special Occasions if I need anything in the future again.

Brian and his staff are such an amazing team! They help with set up and clean up. Everything looks amazing once set up all the with nice touches. They have lots of colors to pick from on linens! The food was absolutely delicious we did not have one complaint. Everyone said it was the best buffet style food they had ever had. The wait staff went above and beyond clearing tables and keeping all of our guest's happy. We would recommend them to everyone!
