    Best Wedding Food Ever!

    Natalie and Serendipity Catering catered our wedding at the Whidbey Island Wayfarer on 7/23/21. Natalie was a dream to work with. She not only rescheduled our date after a covid postponement in 2020 and put us at ease, but also was able to accommodate our guests with some last minute vegetarian and vegan options (that were actually filling and delicious!). Our guests loved the local PNW cuisine, and Natalie and her staff were incredible and attentive. The thai mussels, salmon, short ribs, carrots, and beecher's mac and cheese were crowd favorites. Everything was also presented beautifully. The best part was that Natalie packaged my husband and I two dinners to go at the end of the night in case we didn't get a chance to eat throughout the day (we made sure to eat because the food was amazing!) - but we ended up eating one to-go meal late at night and the other on the ferry the next day. It was one of our favorite moments of our wedding weekend :)

    Wonderful food and service!

    Serendipity catered both our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception, and both were phenomenal! The food is fantastic and they offer such great variety to choose from-- definitely way above your "standard" wedding food. As many of our guests were from out of state, we loved being able to provide a locally sourced, PNW menu. And so many guests commented on not just the taste, but the presentation as well (Hello, cheese board!) My friends are still raving about the buttermilk mashed potatoes! Natalie was super sweet, professional, and communicative throughout the process, which ended up being rather long thanks to COVID. Absolutely recommend!!

    Family can't stop talking about the amazing food!

    Serendipity catered our wedding in July and guests are still talking about the food! While we made a few adjustments to the suggested summer menu, the suggested seasonal menus were such a great jumping off point -- made everything really easy. And honestly, you cannot go wrong with Serenity -- all their food is absolutely delicious (that's coming from a family of foodies). And their customer service cannot be beat -- highly responsive, reasonably priced, extremely professional. I want to throw another shindig just to hire them again!

    Insanely delicious AND a pleasure to work with

    I would highly, highly recommend Serendipity to anyone planning a wedding on Whidbey Island. Not only is all of their food insanely delicious (seriously, everything we tried at the tasting was incredible), they are responsive, professional, and a genuine pleasure to correspond with. The fact that they've catered events all over the island for years was a huge advantage for us, as they were able to coordinate directly with our venues and take us out of the loop completely for the nuts-and-bolts of setup and takedown. If their website and sample menus make you think you'd love to work with them, DO IT -- you will not be disappointed!!!

    Booking Serendipity Cateringwas one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Not only was the food DELICIOUS (we continue to hear from our guests about how much they loved it) but they were so easy to work with and they went absolutely above and beyond the call of duty. They were trustworthy, respectful, and kind. Natalie is a dream to work with-she coordinated rentals for us, answered all of our questions, and provided us so much peace of mind that our wedding was going to be everything we hoped and dreamed. Highly recommend!

    Growing up in a food-centric family, our wedding meal was my number one priority. When the team at Serendipity first welcomed us into their home to taste the food they offer for weddings, I knew they were our perfect caterer. Serendipity showed us it is possible to have a delicious family style wedding meal that everyone will remember. They say brides are too nervous to eat at their weddings, but I ate an entire plate! Serendipity catered both our Southern BBQ rehearsal dinner and our Pacific Northwest inspired wedding meal with ease. I felt confident in their abilities throughout the planning process -- they are quick to respond and helpful in menu decision making. This is a family that knows how to eat and entertain! I recommend Serendipity as a caterer to every bride -- from knowledge of food sustainability, presentation, and willingness to form relationships with their clients, they will not disappoint.

    We had the great pleasure of working with Serendipity Catering to create a picture perfect menu for our 100 person wedding this summer on Whidbey Island. From start to finish, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. This family run business is the best! They were so responsive, professional, and fun! Natalie, Connor, and the team set up an amazing tasting, literally inviting us into their home. We were immediately sold after the tasting and had the utmost confidence they would knock it out of the park, which they did! When it came to the big day, cocktail hour appetizers and the wedding reception dinner were flawless. They were also super accommodating when it came to dietary restrictions, not hesitating to prepare a special dish for my wife's mother.

    In summary, the service/staff was as good as it gets and their food was incredibly delicious! We had an amazing wedding day, in large part thanks to the wonderful people at Serendipity! They even provided us with a nice congratulatory gift basket filled with an assortment of snacks/drink perfect for after the long day. So thoughtful of them :).

    Look no further for your catering needs! We would recommend them 100x over!

    Serendipity came recommended to us by our venue, and I can totally see why. Natalie was so responsive when I first reached out, and was so friendly and easy to work with when we first started to work out the details.

    When we did our tasting, they were so friendly and welcoming, and the food was to die for. We left the tasting eagerly waiting for our wedding meal.

    We loved their family style serving approach at our venue, and were really pleased with the variety of food yet coordinated menu items.

    Our guests kept raving about the food and the dessert, and we were so happy that everyone loved the meal as much as we did.

    It was such a pleasure to work with Natalie and team, they were so friendly and flexible and considerate of allergies and kids meals, as well as answering questions that we had along the way.

    I definitely recommend going with Serendipity, you will not be disappointed!!

    We used Serendipity Catering for our wedding this past July and we were so impressed by not only the quality of their food but also of their service! Debbie and Natalie are not only quick to respond to questions but also very helpful! They were eager to address any of our concerns and asked us plenty of questions in our first meeting to ensure that we were comfortable with the idea of working with them.

    While it is hard not to feel immediately drawn to them since it is such a local business and clearly so dear to them, they really brought us in and made us feel special!

    Our tasting was amazing and on the day of the wedding they were so easy to work with that there were no issues after they had dropped off the food!
    They worked with us on menus that fit our budget and did not push us out of our comfort zone! It was amazing! We elected to order all our table settings from them but save money by hiring friends as staff and instead of making us feel guilty like other caterers might have, they went the extra mile and explained in detail how to inform everyone of the serving the meal! They also make it so easy to pick up and return dishware!

    Before getting in contact with Seredipity, we were a bit worried about how the catering process would go -- but they made it so easy that we could not recommend them enough! Look no further! Great food, great service, great everything!

    Serendipity catered our wedding over the weekend and they did an amazing job. We loved that we got the same quality of food during our tasting and our wedding. They were super flexible when our numbers kept on changing. Connor coordinated our day of service and it was great!

    We had Serendipity cater our wedding at The Wayfarer on Whidbey Island on September 6, 2015 and they were amazing! We worked with Connor and he was professional, responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire process. The tasting was so fun - in a beautiful setting with nice people and amazing food.

    We love food and really wanted the food to shine at our wedding, but we had a limited budget. Connor was very helpful in menu planning and willing to help with suggestions to keep us on track with our limited budget. We also had many foodie guests (both from the area and from NYC) and knew they would be picky and hard to please. We had no reason to worry because Serendipity's food surpassed our highest expectations and even our pickiest guests loved the meal!

    We planned a family style Northwest farm to table meal so that our many East Coast guests could get a taste of the region. Every single appetizer and dish was cooked perfectly, which is so hard to do for large events. I was particularly worried that the salmon would be overlooked, but it was delicious and perfect! Thank you Serendipity for creating the feast of our dreams for our special day!!
