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.
