    Wonderful Personalized Experience

    All our interactions with Occasions staff was efficient, informative, and helped us perfectly cater our wedding reception dinner. The owner, Carla, was especially helpful in making sure we were able to create a customized menu for our needs, taking into consideration various dietary requirements. They went above and beyond to make sure the reception was set up beautifully, helping fix details and clean up beyond what we expected. All staff was courteous and kind during serving, and provided complimentary cake cutting, making sure leftovers were boxed and sent with us for the honeymoon as requested. I would highly recommend Occasions Catering for their quality of service, competitive pricing, and menu flexibility.

    Highly Recommend Occasions Catering

    My Wife and I recently got married and selected Occasions Catering as our catering vendor. We are so thankful we had Occasions Catering to support our wedding for so many reasons. I highly recommend and endorse this catering company.

    EXCELLENT VALUE - We found Occasions Catering to provide excellent value for our wedding. Reasonably priced, great food, able to create customized menus, and friendly supportive staff.

    GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE - We worked directly with Karla Curry of Occasions Catering to plan out our menu, work through logistics, and fine tune our plans leading up to the wedding. Karla was easy to work with, very responsive, and she worked hard to ensure the event went off without any issues. I appreciate that Karla helped us fine tune the menu and that she was willing to come out a week prior to the venue to meet with our wedding planning and walk through logistics. Due to all the prep that Karla helped us with, we felt very confident in what to expect from catering team leading up to the wedding.

    FRIENDLY PROFESSIONAL STAFF - All of Occasions Catering staff were friendly, personable, and professional.

    DELICIOUS FOOD - We chose a lunch time reception and a mix of chicken, sandwiches, and salad. We also had the charcuterie cups during happy hour, and an assortment of non-alcoholic beverages. Our guests complimented us a number of times for how delicious and healthy the entire menu was. Guests were delighted with the food provided by Occasions Catering.

    Highly recommend working with Karla Curry and Occasions Catering team for your next event! Cheers!

    Fantastic Experience!

    Working with Wendi at Occasions Catering for our wedding was such an easy and pleasurable experience! She was always quick to respond as we planned our outdoor fall wedding. My husband and I had recently moved to the Olympia area and she was helpful in suggesting other vendors, including a bakery for our cake and a venue for an after-party. She had previous experience at our venue which was helpful as we worked to plan some logistics. Occasions was flexible with our desire to honor my husband's Greek and Italian heritage and allowed us to customize a dinner menu that worked for us. They also provided a vegetarian option for one of our guests and were quick with responses about possible possible allergens that may have affected our guests.
    On the day of the wedding, everything went so well! Wendi checked in with me to confirm that I still wanted to follow the timeline we had laid out and made adjustments as we went. The serving staff was professional, friendly, and did an excellent job! They kindly set aside appetizers for my husband and I at our table, and even gave us a little box of goodies and snacks for the end of the night!
    All of the food was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the baron of beef. The gourmet s'mores bar was a big hit with our guests, and really added to the overall atmosphere of our casual park wedding.

    Occasions Catering's reply:

    You are such an amazing couple! I loved your personalities and compatibility with each other from the day I met you for your tasting.

    I am so happy to hear you enjoyed your special day. That's what matter's most to me so you could enjoy your time with your family and friends and not worry about the details. And especially happy you loved the food and service from our kitchen and staff.

    My staff loved the special homemade treats from the family as well. A special gift greatly appreciated -- delicious!

    Must Book Occasion’s Catering

    If you are in the market for a catering company, look no further, Occasion's Catering is it! We hired Occasion’s Catering for our wedding and we can not say enough good things about this company! Our entire experience, from choosing a menu, menu tasting, to wedding day and everything in between was absolutely incredible. We chose the Dinner of the Northwest menu option and the food was absolutely AMAZING. Our guests were so pleased. Karla was extremely organized, communicative, on time, and efficient. Their team was very professional, the service was incredible, and the whole team truly made our day so special. Thank you Occasion’s Catering for making our day perfect! We can’t thank you enough!

    Great Experience!

    Karla and team were great to work with from the start, I was worried about a lot of small details that I didn't need to be, and Karla was able to put my mind at ease make our wedding go off without a hitch. The food was great and she checked in on us multiple times through the night to make sure we were adequately fed and watered. Also got a to-go box to snack on when we got home. Attentive and caring staff, great presentation, easy to select a menu... Occasions did a great job. Thank you so much Karla and staff!

    Choose Occasions!

    I am so glad I decided to work with Occasions Catering for my July 2021 wedding. They made the planning process a breeze, and Vanessa, my coordinator, was very responsive whenever I had a question. During the reception, guests commented on how good the food tasted, with multiple guests stating it was the best catered food they'd had in a long time. (Their brisket is AMAZING!) Occasions even prepared separate dishes for our guests with dietary restrictions, which I really appreciated. I'd definitely seek out Occasions again if I needed to cater another big event!

    Such a great leader and crew!

    Karla and her staff made our day so special! All staff was extremely nice and responsive. The bartender made note of our drinks to send us away with one when we did our send off and the staff set up a BEAUTIFUL dessert table. Karla checked in with us numerous times to make sure we had everything we needed. Couldn’t recommended a better caterer for your event! The flexibility they had while planning during COVID was greatly appreciated. Was willing and able to make any adjustments we needed.

    Occasions Catering's reply:

    You two are so cute together. We are so happy that you got to dance at your wedding we know how important that was to you since that is where you met.
    Have an amazing happily ever after!!!!

    Value and Professionalism

    We want to thank Karla and her team for helping to make my wife and I'm wedding truly special for us. My Fiance and I were looking for a vendor for out wedding, we knew what kind of food we wanted (steak & Salmon) and were going to have about 35 guest. No one would even come under 3,0000.00, but when we spoke with Karla and she made some great suggestions. The first proposal was under 2500.00, we went out to Olympia to have a taste meal 💯% delicious. Even after adding 5 more meals and a few extras the bill was barely over 2700.00, on our wedding day we didn't have to worry about anything and our guest Loved the food. Thank You to Occasions for being a part of our wedding!!! Jon&Srey

    Outstanding professional service

    Occasions Catering catered our September 2019 wedding at the Washington State Capitol. They were lovely to work with, professional in every way, and created a wonderful evening for our guests! I appreciated their hand-on service every step of the way, and their flexibility in dealing with a venue that can be challenging to cater, as there is no kitchen and no prep space! Truly great service!

    Occasions Catering's reply:

    Your wedding was so beautiful. Loved how the art deco looked in the Capitol. It was a pleasure to be a part of your special day.

    Highly Recommend!

    I have nothing but excellent things to say about Occasions Catering! Karla and her team catered my outdoor wedding with passed appetizers and a plated dinner for 100 guests. In addition to the food being excellent, Karla was organized, communicated quickly, and handled the entire day (and my 100 emails leading up to it) with absolute professionalism. Our guests all remarked on how much they enjoyed the catering staff - the servers were friendly, knowledgeable, and polished. I am especially thankful to Karla for making sure the food was safe for my ring bearer, who has allergies to nuts and dairy - not easy ingredients to avoid. I would absolutely hire Occasions again!

    Occasions Catering's reply:

    Sarah,
    I am so glad the weather turned out to be amazing at Sea brook on your special day. Thank you for choosing us as your cater. It was a pleasure to be a part of the big day.
