Gorgeous, Delicious, and Safe

We employed Wild Pear Catering for our wedding this weekend and we couldn't be happier with the food, the service, and the beautiful buffets. As you can imagine, catering in 2020 has definitely changed. Well, Wild Pear kept everything extremely safe, with their staff serving everything behind almost invisible plexiglass (which they provided) and none of it took away from the beauty of the food and the buffets (when they tell you it will still be beautiful, it's true).
Their staff was extremely polite and we only noticed them when their services were required. Otherwise they seamlessly blended into the event (it was almost like they weren't there). And the compliments that we received on the food - from how delicious it was to how beautiful it was - were constant. We can't recommend Wild Pear enough for your wedding or event. They will ensure your guests are kept safe and well-fed, and your event is as stunning as you dreamed it would be.

Just Book It

Hands down, most impressive vendor we worked with for our wedding. They were prompt, professional, efficient, and fairly priced. Our catering manager, D'Avione, was amazing. We didn't have to worry about anything on the day of our wedding-- they had it totally handled. Plus, they sweetly packed up the leftovers for us at the end of the night. And, of course, the food was great. Our guests raved about the artichoke dip.

The tasting wasn't scheduled until closer to the wedding. So, when we were getting ready to book, my husband and I went to their brick-and-mortar restaurant in Salem to try the food. If you're in the area, I recommend paying them a visit and trying their dishes.

Choose Wild Pear . . . they will "cater" to your every need

As the owner of a wedding venue just outside Silverton, OR, I'm glad to compliment a superior performance. Just so impressed with the food and service provided by Wild Pear at a recent celebration. The dinner was delicious and well-presented in the buffet. The staff stood-out to me for their attention to detail, courtesy and the pride they took collectively and individually in serving the guests. Keep up the good work! I will happily recommend Wild Pear to all my bridal couples in the future and for other events as well . . .

Awesome Food!

Wild Pear is great! We loved their food, our guests could not stop talking about how delicious it was! Davoine was easy to work with and flexible with all of our dietary needs. I would recommend Wild Pear to anyone looking for an American Buffet for their upcoming wedding.

We used Wild Pear for our 200 plus person wedding in Salem, OR. We used their amazing catering coordinator Ashley Jackson who went above and beyond to create the perfect menu. Ashley was super responsive, mindful of budget, quick to offer up alternatives and be available for venue walk throughs. The food was delicious and we still have people telling us almost a year later how fantastic the food/service was!

I loved working with Wild Pear. We live in Boston and got married in Oregon and they were extremely flexible, which made planning from across the country a breeze. I highly recommend Wild Pear for weddings!

Wild Pear and their team are a professional, organized, and timely catering company. They have amazing food selections and they are well priced for the quality of delicious food you receive. We had a buffet style wedding with 154 guests. Guests were and still are raving about the food.The onsite staff were so nice, accommodating and professional. Ashley Jackson was incredible! She helped with my many questions before the wedding via email/phone call. She was quick to respond and very helpful! We met before to do a walk through and she was very thoughtful and professional. Wild Pear was very understanding of my allergy needs.

I would highly recommend hiring Wild Pear for any occasion! They are the BEST! Thank you Wild Pear for a spectacular day!

Wild Pear and their catering coordinator Ashley Jackson are simply incredible! Ashley was quick to respond to emails/calls and addressed all of my desires and anxieties concerning the wedding. We got married at my parents farm in Salem and Ashley did several walk throughs with my family and I which was extremely helpful to create the vision we wanted. Wild Pear brought a huge grill to our farm and we grilled everything on site---all the food was extremely delicious and fresh! They are the best!

They were a pleasure to work with and the food was great. It's not your standard "wedding food."
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
