I would work with Brett Hannan any day, Twelve Baskets Catering as a company probably not..

We chose Twelve Baskets Catering because of our sales gal: Brett Hannan. She was incredible from the very beginning and always went to bat for us. She was up for the challenge to cater our Black-tie wedding. We had a really great experience with the planning as Brett was extremely communicative, detailed, and organized. We had a fabulous experience at our menu tasting and the food was delicious. When we had input on the food during the tasting the chef was in the room to offer suggestions and welcome the feedback. They coordinated everything wonderfully and their staff was efficient and professional. They provided fantastic service for cocktail hour with tray-passed appetizers & a plated dinner service. The menu options had a great range to offer and the food was warm and delicious when it came time to eat. However, I would take caution when recommending Twelve Baskets to a family or friend for their wedding and this is why: we planned two signature cocktails and an open bar around a specific spirit and were promised they would bring enough but they did not. They ran out of alcohol within the first two hours of the event, and then after going to get more ran out AGAIN! This was super frustrating but oh well, it happens. We didn't want to let anything ruin our day. The real frustration came after the day when they sent the final bill and we saw they charged us for the fact that they ran out during our event after promising they would not. The manager/owner was unwilling to remove the fees even after Brett spoke up for us. That really negatively colored our experience with Twelve Baskets. There are so many vendors in the wedding industry that don't put their customers first, I didn't know this was one of those vendors until the very end. They didn't prepare enough and forced us to pay for it.. However, Brett Hannan, I would hire again and again in a heart beat. She is a rockstar and very genuine. & those chefs know what they are doing too!

Twelve Baskets is a Top-Tier Caterer!

Twelve Baskets Catering was a superb choice for our wedding. We knew that we had a limited budget, and Brett and the team were very transparent about pricing and all costs associated with catering. We found the team at the Snohomish Wedding Show, and we knew almost immediately they would be our caterer of choice. Our guests still rave about their sweet potato dish and the tzatziki sauce. We wouldn’t have necessarily gone with either of these, but our tasting let us try things we weren’t initially going for, and the rest was a great memory of a very smooth process!

Twelve Baskets Catering is one of our top catering referrals. They do a fantastic job of not only providing amazing food but their presentation is second to none! You won't find some drab table tops in the corner with the buffet line - they can make the food as magical as the ceremony! They also always supply a hard-working, competent staff at their events that make life so much easier for everyone. Highly recommend them!
