    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!

    Amazing catering team

    We were so happy with our choice to hire Twelve baskets. The food was incredible, the staff was amazing. Overall they made our reception what it was. Working with them throughout the whole planning process was also flawless and easy. Would definitely hire them all over again!

    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!

    We LOVED the food and staff at our wedding!

    Twelve Baskets catered our wedding in July of 2023 and we could not be happier that we decided to hire them!
    We got married at Craven Farm in Snohomish, and Twelve Baskets is one of their exclusive caterers. After a couple of tastings and meetings, it was clear to us that we wanted to work with the Twelve Baskets team. We left our tasting feeling so excited about the menu for our wedding!
    We worked with Brett and were so happy with how professional, friendly, and flexible she and her team were throughout the planning process. We arranged a kids menu, were able to accommodate multiple food allergies and restrictions, and purchased our own alcohol for their bartenders to serve. All of these things were INCREDIBLY helpful touches for us!
    The team was on time, professional, and so friendly the day of our wedding. Each one of the catering staff congratulated myself and my husband, which we really appreciated. The team brought drinks to our bridal party before the ceremony, and put together a cheese plate for my husband and I to enjoy immediately after the ceremony. We never had to ask for anything, they seemed to have it ready before it even crossed our minds!
    The food was delicious and the setup was absolutely gorgeous. We are so thankful for how accommodating and flexible the Twelve Baskets team was, and would recommend them to any couple looking for a professional and friendly caterer to be part of their wedding day.

    Hire twelve baskets

    WOW!! Just WOW!!! Our wedding catering was phenomenal and our catering manager, Vita, was the absolute BEST!
    First, I exchanged a million emails with Vita, and her response time, attention to detail, etc. just INCREDIBLE. She is SO good at her job. Second, the day of our wedding, the staff was impeccable, kind, and efficient. We did not run out of anything and everyone was on top of it. We had one guest not following the rules... and the bartenders handled it with such professionalism and grace, we didn't even know about it day of. So thankful to them. Everyone RAVED about how wonderful our wedding was and it's in a large part, thanks to them... their AMAZING food and service. HIRE THEM!!

    Literally better then anything else!!

    Twelve Baskets Catering completely went above and beyond!! We were sooo pleased with their service and food! All of our guests continued to say how great it was even weeks after! I have a lot of dietary issues and so did a few of my guests, and they literally made it so easy because everything we wanted- they made it so us dietary peeps could eat! Amazing! Highly recommend and will definitely use them for a future event!

    Amazing caterers!

    Twelve Baskets... amazing!

    The team was thoughtful, helpful, and kind from start to finish. Bless Vita for the number of emails she patiently responded to from me, she addressed every question, concern, or idea I had with compassion and grace. She was two steps ahead of me and asked me questions I never would have thought to ask, this is know I KNEW I was in good hands!

    On the day of our wedding, the food was so yummy (especially the herb-crusted pork tenderloin), set up was beautiful, and everything went off without a hitch!

    12 out of 10, would DEFINTELY recommend!

    Great service!

    We had a relatively short engagement and were lucky to get Twelve Baskets as our caterer. They were super easy to work with from start to finish. When we learned that our venue didn't allow alcohol and they automatically updated their proposal to include non-alcoholic beverages instead. They also included some nice decor options which was helpful for me as we were trying to keep things simple and I didn't really have any decorations planned. The only recommendation I would have is to ask about a tasting early because we left that too late, but regardless the menu was fantastic and we received so many compliments from guests. The staff were also really great and so attentive on the day of the wedding.

    Twelve Baskets Exceeds Expectations TWICE!

    2 daughters, 2 weddings and 2 completely different styles. Twelve Baskets catered both and exceeded our expectations each time. From the planner to the catering and bar staff - all were professional, and delightful to interact with. The cocktail hour and main meals were memorable and delishously prepared. We also appreciated that Twelve Baskets is known by all of the vendors we used which made planning and execution so easy. No questions were ever left unanswered and we couldn't have been happier.

    Wedding Caterer

    Twelve Baskets provided our food for our wedding in June. We reached out to a lot of caterers, and they stood out – their price was reasonable and they were very openminded about the menu. We told them we were vegetarian and while the wedding would have some meat, we didn’t want it to be central. We also were hoping for some Vietnamese inspired dishes. We had trouble with both these requests at every other caterer, but Twelve Baskets designed a custom menu for us and everything (noodles, rice, spring rolls, etc) was super delicious (especially the passed tray appetizers)! The service and décor was great and we got lots of compliments from the guests – overall an amazing experience.

    The Dream Team for Catering!

    Twelve Baskets is the best! They were very accommodating and sky was literally the limit... for catering! They were very organized with back and forth e-mails during the planning stage to the day of our wedding with setting up and breaking down. Vita, who helped us plan the whole thing was great! She was quick to respond, had all the answers and took into account our vision for our wedding day. My husband and I definitely recommend Twelve Baskets for your catering needs. We couldn't have had the perfect day without them!

    Amazing food and service!

    The entire team at Twelve Baskets were incredibly wonderful the entire process! From the beginning, they helped us pick a menu that catered to our guest, dietary restrictions and fulfilled our needs exactly. Throughout the process, as guest counts changed and needs changed, they were incredibly accommodating to help us navigate that and update our contract. The day of the wedding, the set up was seamless and the food was so delicious! The presentation on the buffets was beautiful and the bartenders were awesome! I would highly recommend hiring Twelve Baskets for your event!

    Thank you so much, Krystle! It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of you and Aaron's amazing day! We were so honored to be a part of it. Wishing you both the very best!

    We used Twelve Baskets for our wedding and were so impressed! Food was one of the most important things to us for our big day - we wanted to make sure that all of our guests left full and happy, and Twelve Baskets made sure that happened! The food was incredible and loved by all of our guests, and we loved that there was a variety of dishes to choose from to ensure that we weren't serving "standard wedding food" - the mini sliders and grilled cheese shooters at cocktail hour were such a hit! We're still getting so many compliments on how good the food was!
    Beyond the delicious food, our experience working with Vita was top-notch. She's seriously incredible - we exchanged emails for months, and throughout the entire planning process she was always so easy to work with, great at providing suggestions and was flexible when we needed to make changes. Vita made the planning process so easy and stress-free, and we can't thank her enough for that! Highly recommend!

    Twelve Baskets Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much, MacKenzie! It was an honor to be a part of your special day. We so appreciate you taking the time to share your experience here. We hope that you two have an amazing year as newly weds and hope we have the opportunity to serve you again in the future!

    Fabulous! Every detail attended to, to perfection!

    Twelve Baskets Catering took care of catering my son’s wedding in September 2018. Every detail was handled professionally so that on the wedding day we had not one single worry! The food was fabulous (we were told over and over how good the food was by our guests!) and the care and details that went into the display of our food and bars were even more beautiful than we had hoped for! The staff is incredibly helpful from start to finish. A special thank you to Olivia and Ken as well as the kitchen and on site crew for making my son’s wedding day even more memorable!!

    Look No Further---Twelve Baskets is the Perfect Choice!

    We do not have enough words to thank Twelve Baskets for such an amazing experience for our wedding.

    We were in constant contact with their team on food choices, quantities selected, and process questions, and the AMAZING team (mainly Vita!) was super responsive! Vita was so patient with us as we updated everything and we are so grateful for her awesome guidance.

    We booked Twelve Baskets because they were on the preferred vendor list for our venue and they by far had the absolute best tasting food and their plating was absolutely beautiful. We did tasting tests with four different catering companies prior, and within five minutes of being at Twelve Baskets we knew right away that they were the perfect choice. We decided early on that our food budget was very important to us, and we wanted to make sure that as the largest chunk of our budget we went with a location that could deliver our vision for our Alice in Wonderland themed reception.

    Our wedding day food was excellent and every single guest was very impressed, which was something we were hoping for as many traveled from the other coast to be here. Our menu consisted of a lot of PNW favorites, including the following:

    -Cedar plank salmon
    -Kalbi flank steak
    -Corn elotes
    -Strawberry salad
    -Thai fresh rolls (vegan and also shrimp)
    -Crab cakes
    -Grilled potatoes

    It was also very important for our guests to have vegan and gluten free options, and Twelve Baskets was very accommodating to this.

    The plating was amazing, and everyone was raving about the food all night long. The servers were excellent, and the bartenders attended to everyone promptly. The bartenders especially timed our cocktail hour perfectly with the amount of liquor we had ordered before beginning wine and beer service as well. The servers were also very prompt about moving all of the chairs from the wedding space to the reception area.

    THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding a dream come true Vita & team!

    We used Twelve Baskets for our wedding and it was absolutely amazing. The staff is wonderful, the displays are gorgeous, and most importantly the food is delicious. Vita worked me for months, over 75 email exchanges, to craft the perfect menu for our budget. They also provided me a completely separate gluten free meal that was in my dietary restrictions and were extremely attentive to us during the wedding. Very nice and extremely professional. Would hire them again and again!

    So glad we went with Twelve Baskets!

    I cannot recommend Twelve Baskets Catering enough! They were so great to work with. We worked with Vita P. a Wedding and Events Specialist and she was so friendly, outgoing, and helpful! The food was not only beautiful but oh so tasty! We received so many compliments regarding the catering. They took such great care of our guests and us as groom and bride. We also hired them to bartend and did a fantastic job. Highly recommend! Thank you Twelve Baskets!


    P.S. They also helped us cater my bridal shower and it was also such a success!

    I was truly SO impressed by the service, quality, and professionalism of Twelve Baskets Catering. We wanted to do something a little different and have a brunch wedding, and Twelve Baskets really helped our dreams come to life with delicious food and a truly beautiful arrangement. Vita, my email contact, was always SO responsive! She got back to me quickly, helped me think about things I'd never even considered, and when I had requests she found a way to make them happen! They were very flexible, too! They allowed us to provide our own alcohol to save a bit of money, and even let us come by to drop off the alcohol and juice a couple days before the wedding to store, chill, and transport everything together. We did look at slightly less expensive catering options, but I am so glad that we chose to go with a truly professional service who really have their act together. On the wedding day, their servers came and found my new groom and I to make sure we had everything we needed and that our glasses were always full, and they even wrapped up to-go boxes for us to enjoy in our honeymoon suite (that late night slice of cake was heaven!). Thank you so much to everyone at Twelve Baskets for making our day such a success!

    Oh my goodness! The entire team at Twelve Baskets is wonderful. I have been working with them for years for high school graduations and events at church. When my daughter got engaged, the owner, John Bagge was the first vendor I called. John helped us find a venue and Event Specialist Vita Popach did the rest. She is always a delight to work with and was exceptionally prompt is answering all my questions, super friendly and very helpful. We put together a delicious menu at a fair price, definitely worth every penny. They worked with me on every aspect of the event, from providing beautiful vintage table decor to giving me choices about which napkin fold we preferred. Our wedding day site leader, Scott, was out-of-this-world great. We had the wedding at Dairyland in Snohomish, ceremony and dinner in the same space so we had a quick reset to do after the ceremony. Scott and his team helped do all that quickly while also serving our guests wonderful appetizers. He took care of everything so easily, it made my day as mother of the bride and wedding planner stress free. Our wedding party had their own server so they did not miss out on food while taking pictures after the ceremony. The dinner buffet, dessert station and drinks were so beautiful, worked perfectly with the vision we had for the day. The two comments I heard most from our guests were 1) the caterers are so attentive and friendly, and 2) the food is delicious. Best review of all came from the bride and groom. I asked them if their wedding day was everything they wanted- their response- better than they could ever have imagined. Thank you 12 Baskets for making our daughter's wedding day so special and worry free. Simply the best!!
