NOW BOOKING 2022 AND 2023 WEDDINGS, EXCLUSIVELY AT THE ORCHARD IN HOOD RIVER

Celilo Catering

Our menu is designed and driven by the beautiful ingredients that we have to work with from this valley. We prepare our meals on site so that they are a part of the experience. The smell of a delicious meal is a wonderful beginning to a great gathering. Our operation is unique because we are a team that has worked together for many years. Our core crew has been together for 10 years which is uncommon for seasonal work. Heather, our coordinator puts in a tremendous amount of time with each of our clients, during their planning. Every person, every experience is unique.

We couldn’t be happier about our mutually exclusive partnership for wedding catering beginning 2022 with The Orchard.

Based in Hood River, Oregon, Celilo Restaurant is a catering company serving weddings. Our menus are created using only the highest-quality seasonal ingredients, sourced locally from the surrounding area’s most trusted producers.

Incredible Wedding Catering

Celilo catered our wedding at The Orchard as part of the catering relationship they have with the venue. The food was delicious and plentiful, the catering staff was friendly and professional, and the bar service was great including the specialty cocktails (highly recommend the marionberry mojito!). Throughout the planning process, Celilo worked seamlessly with all our vendors including supplying all of the table settings and arranging for the wedding cake through Windflower Cakes (lemon blueberry cake was to die for!). They even worked to get us our special request late night snack. They also paid special attention to the dietary needs of several of our guests (vegetarian, nut allergy, gluten free) so everyone could enjoy the wonderful meal.

Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Celilo. Heather is great to work with, organized, super responsive and knows her stuff. The food is absolutely incredible - we went to the tasting and ended up upgrading our package because it was all so good we couldn't decide. Their pricing is very straight forward, what you see is what you get, no hidden fees, no weird tiers, very easy to understand. We received a ton of compliments on the food AND staff on our wedding day, everything was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Best wedding food ever

If you're looking for delicious, fresh, local, beautiful, quality food for your wedding then look no further than Celilo catering. Our guests still talk about how good the food was, 6 months later! We had many guests coming from out of town who had never visited the PNW before and we wanted to show off the amazing food our region offers. Celilo did not disappoint. Everything was completely perfect and our guests were provided with the culinary experience of our dreams. We also loved that they offered a family style option. This made the dinner feel even more intimate and really helped guests connect over the food. The staff was professional, kind, efficient, and kept the day flowing smoothly. The bar was also outstanding and guests were able to order beverages with ease and without waiting in a long line. Aside from how wonderful the food, drink, and service was, the planning process was so easy. We got to attend a great tasting and worked with Heather to finalize our menu. We decided at the last minute that we wanted a wedding cake and ice cream and she helped us pull this off. That's another thing, the wedding cakes are AMAZING. Not the typical wedding cake that guests don't eat, guests kept going back for more. We can't recommend Celilo enough for the best PNW wedding food experience imaginable.
