Excellent Catering Service

We hired Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes Catering for a buffet dinner + staffed bar + passed appetizers for our 100-person wedding and had an amazing experience. They were incredibly thorough during planning, such as identifying during the venue walkthrough that they would need an extra oven, which made the day run smoothly. We received tons of compliments on the food. Several guests said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had (the roast Brussels sprout Caesar salad was a standout!). The price is on the higher side, but absolutely worth it if great food is a priority. We highly recommend them for weddings or large events.

Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes Crushed It!!

Absolutely the most kind and professional staff I have ever worked with. The food was magnificent, and the staff anticipated every need we had even before we knew we needed it. Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes went above and beyond to make our day run flawlessly; we could not have been in better hands through each step of the journey.
THANK YOU FOR SAVING THE DAY!!!!

We couldn't have asked for a better day!

My Husband and I had Tuxedos and Tennis shoes cater our wedding back in September and Oh. My. Goodness! What a perfectly beautiful day it was. I couldn’t have imagined a more flawless wedding for my husband and me.

The service staff were so wonderful, and made our guests feel right at home. We had amazing feedback from our guests about how wonderfully helpful the staff were, which one of the most important things to us was and why we went with TNT. I have been a part of a few events that TNT has catered, and the staff always seems to be in the right place at exactly the right time, anticipating every need. They are very personable while being professional at the same time. Emily Schiller was our wedding coordinator and was so patient with ALL of my questions. She was a part of our lives for two whole years as we had to postpone from 2020 to 2021 and was a wonderful support through it all. I can’t sing Tuxedos and Tennis shoes praise enough! If you are looking for a team that will take care of your every need, even the ones that you didn’t know needed taking care of, go with Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes!!

Best Day Ever!

We were absolutely THRILLED with our experience with Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes for our wedding! Throughout the wedding day and planning leading up to our wedding, they made us feel like a priority and made all of our ideas come to life with incredible execution.

Food- Tuxedos and Tennis shoes has the best food! We loved our wedding menu, especially the cedar plank salmon. They helped us create a fresh oyster bar and worked with us to serve a fabulous family style dinner. They were so flexible and creative in the menu planning process.

Staff- All the staff at TNT are so detail oriented and creative. Emily was an amazing event manager and went out of her way to make all of our ideas come to life. She also has great ideas and is very timely in her responses. The bartenders and servers made so many of our guests feel taken care of (whether it was remembering their drink order, accommodating dietary needs, etc.) so many of our guests raved about the service. We were really grateful that they left our venue spotless after the wedding.

I highly recommend TNT to be part of your special day! They really made our wedding perfect!

The best caterer ever

Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes was amazing! Emily was our rep and she was extremely friendly, professional and helpful. Our wedding planner specifically made a point to tell us that she had worked with TNT before, and thought they were the best caterer in terms of food, professionalism, organization, and easiness to work with. We were also able to do our tent, table, light, and linen rentals through TNT, which was a plus.

Good food is a high priority in my family, and we requested a lot of adjustments, custom recipes, substitutions, and chef suggestions to make our menu perfect. TNT accommodated all our requests and delivered with fresh and delicious food at our wedding of 150 guests. They have a really unique and versatile menu - we were able to have a ceviche bar, passed appetizers, dinner, and late night snacks (I really highly recommend the fried chicken sliders with kimchi mayo! Everybody freaked out when they showed up and they all got eaten). Many people at our wedding said that it was the best wedding food they've ever had. Also, they brought almost exactly the amount of food we needed - there were just a couple to-go boxes of leftovers that were saved for us or grabbed by our guests, so nothing was wasted. I would highly recommend choosing them if you're able to!

You’ll be happy you chose T&T!

Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes is hands down the best caterer in the Greater Seattle Area! My now-husband and I tasted 12 caterers in Seattle and on the Eastside and NONE of them even came close. There’s this stigma that “wedding food” is never really any good. It’s rare guests at a wedding rave about the food weeks after your wedding, but that’s what you get when you hire T&T! I literally wish they were a restaurant so we could eat our wedding meal again. We had the pleasure of working with an amazing point of contact who was highly responsive and accommodating to my requests and questions through the process. I asked SO many questions and they really know their business so well. On the day of the wedding, their staff was SO nice, they even made it into a few wedding pictures! They were professional, timely, and overall incredible. They handled all the coordination with CORT party rentals too!

Friendly, helpful, and delicious!

The food was so good! Especially the Greek chicken wrap and the smashed potato salad. We got drop off catering for our 18 person backyard wedding and Emily was so helpful answering all our questions and adjusting the proposed menu for us. It was also so, so nice that all their prices were clear and upfront on the website, so we knew what range to expect when we asked for a quote. The drop off was smooth and easy, and the the compostable dishes it was served on looked great! I also really liked the little cards they had with all the dietary information.

Amazing staff and even better food!

Tuxedoes and Tennis shoes were the exclusive caterer for our venue (The Hall at Fauntleroy). The food was amazing, the staff was attentive, they checked in with us all night long, and made sure our needs were met. They ensured we got some appetizers and drinks while we were taking family photos, and our glasses were always full during the reception. We felt like celebrities. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and many went back for 2nd and 3rds! We loved that we were able to take home what leftovers there were. We also appreciated that T&T has vegetarian and vegan options for those who want it. Food is always an important part of a wedding and Tuxedos and Tennis shoes were spot on.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
