Erica Sent on 10/01/2019Wonderful food and excellent service
The Dalton staff allowed us to customize our reception so it was perfect for us. Their pricing value for money was wonderful and they were very helpful. In addition they really paid attention to detail and went above and beyond (they got flowers for their catering tables that matched our colors! We hadn't expected that and it was beautiful). And last but not least, all the food was absolutely delicious. It looked amazing and tasted even better, I only wish I could have eaten more!! You will not be disappointed with them, they really know what they are doing and care, and have great expertise. Absolutely recommend them to anyone. -

User2403403 Sent on 11/01/2015Dave and his team were fantastic! The food was delicious and we had so many compliments from guests on how amazing everything was. The buffet setup was beautiful, and the linens and chairs were perfect with our decor style. They also handled our bar, which was great! Dave is easy to work with, prompt with communication, and very professional. His prices are competitive and a great value for the delicious food he prepares. Highly recommend! -

Andrea Sent on 07/03/2014Do not underestimate the importance of a good caterer for your wedding. Your caterer is arguably the most important vendor at your wedding. Dave is a very experienced, professional, no-nonsense person. I love that he charges a flat-rate per person and is the best value around. He let us use some of his own tents for an extremely inexpensive rate and even came to our rehearsal to make sure everything would be set up exactly the way we wanted. By the way, the food was good too! And beautifully arranged. I highly recommend Dalton's Northwest Catering. -
Laura Sent on 01/03/2018Dave and his team are fantastic! He catered my wedding a couple summers back and from then, I've had him cater multiple friends weddings, weddings I've coordinated and even corporate events. HE IS AMAZING. His staff is amazing at fruit displays and meeting your specific needs / desires / dietary restrictions. One wedding I coordinated wanted Cuban food (I was a little skeptical) but he knocked it out of the park! He will customize your package and work with you on all your needs. He also has a full service package with silverware and plates so you don't get the feeling of being nickel-and-dimed. You won't be disappointed.

Jacqueline Sent on 08/03/2013Dalton's Northwest Catering goes above and beyond.
He accommodated our gluten free needs and served a beautiful spread of food. It was wonderful and the food was so good.
We decided to do pies instead of cake, and the variety and design of all the pies was wonderful!
We also had bacon wrapped scallops and chicken skewers. They were all fantastic.
Needless to say everything went smoothly and the drinks were phenomenal. We did have a bar where people could go and get water, ice tea, lemonade, or hard cider, and it was all so tasty!
It was a wonderfully catered event. Being foodies we wanted diverse options and delicious salmon. The cedar plank salmon was everything we wanted and more.
He also did a tasting with my parents that went very well. He set up a spread of all the options and my parents loved it. He even had created a table setup for guests to create smores... but it was too messy to do at the actual event, but I had thought he would just put cold smores pieces together and see how that tasted with ice cream. But no, he went above and beyond to give my parents the ultimate tasting. -
User1171870 Sent on 05/23/2013Dalton's Catering was great to work with and the food was spectacular! It was very affordable compared to others I have looked at and their spread is incredible! They provide so many beautiful touches. The food is wonderful, the same quality you'd get from most caterers at half the cost. During the wedding we had an alcohol incident with one member of the family and their bartender was able to smooth things over without causing a scene! -

Wonderful company
Dalton's is a wonderful catering company for all occasions! Hired for our wedding, everyone was wonderful to work with throughout all of the planning stages including being flexible while customizing our menu, attending the venue walkthrough and making sure I was comfortable with everything that was going to happen and on the day the whole staff was nothing short of friendly, hardworking and professional. Me and my guests were very grateful to have their full catering and bartending services on the day. Please do not hesitate to use them for your next event! -

Eran S. Sent on 08/18/2019Jenkins Estate Wedding
We got married at the Jenkins Estate on July 13th, 2019.
(Dalton’s Northwest Catering is the exclusive caterer for Jenkins and also handles booking the venue itself).
It was a beautiful event and we are overall very satisfied with our choice of location.
Please read this whole review, it is not a black and white “everything is great” or “it was terrible”, and we want to stress that we were very satisfied with our event as a whole.
Our experience was that communication with Dave Dalton was at times rather difficult.
Most notably, a month before the event, when discussing our wish to hold an ice cream buffet instead of serving a cake, Dave became exceedingly angry, said we were completely ridiculous and scrutinizing (because we previously asked questions like what dressing a salad came with) and offered to cancel the event.
Given that this was a month before our wedding, the thought of canceling over a dessert dispute is clearly ridiculous, so this was simply unpleasant, and rather unprofessional.
We should note that we did end up having the ice cream buffet and it went off just fine, which only further underscores that this was a rather unnecessary heated discussion.
The week before the event we met Dave to walk through the location, discuss where things will be set up etc.
This meeting was quite pleasant, but unfortunately, a good chunk of the information did not seem to be fully relayed to his day-of-manager Nicole.
That said, Nicole was beyond great. She was calm, responsive, and positive.
Thanks to her, all the pieces that were not communicated were quickly remedied and we felt in very good hands.
The venue is beautiful, the food was delicious, the buffet looked great, the staff was very friendly.
What we want to stress is that there were some growing pains in getting to the event, but at the end things ran rather smoothly.
If you are prepared for these potential communication challenges, and are ready to roll with them, this is a truly wonderful venue to hold an event.
