Great caterer for foodies

We’re very happy with our choice of Lovely Night as our caterer. They did a great job handling a venue with limited on site cooking facilities (no stove, running water was on the opposite side of the venue from where we had dinner - a whole city block away), and created a great meal that our guests loved. For appetizers, we did a meze platter and the pork belly bites, and those pork belly bites were a hit, they disappeared quick - PS, thank you to the caterer for saving us some while we were doing photos.

For the main course, we had chicken, asparagus and chèvre, Salish Sea paella, and beechers mac and cheese bar. If you go through lovely night, absolutely do the mac and cheese bar, the toppings were the talk of the dinner, fantastic job here.

For planning, Gelsey is incredibly great to work with! She is detail oriented, and caught several deficiencies in our plan and recommended solutions. Gelsey was incredibly responsive to every email we sent. Additionally, they did a great job supporting our baker, who was doing their first ever wedding.

I would recommend Lovely Night to any foodie who needs a caterer for their wedding - they are pricey because they serve amazing food.

You will not regret choosing Lovely Night!

My husband said hands-down the best short rib he's ever had. The food was amazing, the appetizers were amazing. All our guests were (and still are) raving about the food.

We were sold at the tasting we did with Lovely Night. The Hamachi crudo bites and pork belly bites were out of this world. Gelsey and James sat with us and created a menu that was delicious and hit all of our guests' dietary restrictions so everyone had a delicious meal. They were also honest and upfront about what they'd need at our wedding venue (an outdoor venue with no running water). Gelsey helped us rent an oven and other table necessities that made it so easy for us.

Day of, everything ran smoothly and their servers and bartenders were all so friendly and accommodating! We would use Lovely Night again in a heartbeat!

Just DO IT! You wont regret it

The caterer for our wedding cancelled two weeks before our wedding and we were in a pinch to find someone. Luckily, Lovely Night was available and they were able to work with us quickly on a menu. We were very worried about the food since we are foodies ourselves and love to cook. We were wanting a creative, multicourse meal with wine pairings and excellent quality food. Because of the timing, we didn't have time to taste their food, we just had to commit and go for it. We are SO glad that we did. The creativity and flavors were phenomenal! I would definitely hire them again for any event and recommend to anyone looking for excellent, creative, fresh food served by good people who are willing to work with you and be flexible. I cannot thank them enough for being part of our special day.
