~The Event~ Christie's Catering was amazing! We hired them to cater our 160 person wedding on 7/16/22. We heard nothing but wonderful things from our guests about the food. First off, they did a whole charcuterie board which was a huge hit! Our venue had an old wooden boat in the cocktail hour space so they set up the charcuterie in there. The guests loved it! For dinner, we had this AMAZING pesto chicken that was perfectly cooked. We also had lemon dill salmon which many people talked about. They also made this amazing rice that was so addictive and it was such a hit that we didn't even get to take any home. I will definitely try and snag that recipe from them. Mitchell was an incredible bartender and I heard nothing but good things about him as well. ~Pre-Event Contact~ We found Christie's catering on a wedding website after we found out that catering a 200 person wedding was going to cost us $15k+. Most places wanted to charge for ridiculous things that ran the bill up and we were getting discouraged. Then we found Christie's and at first it seemed too good to be true. It was one all inclusive price per person which was incredible! We decided to go to a tasting at their kitchen. Everything checked out and we decided to go with them. We thought we had sent our deposit and months later Teanna contacted us asking if we were still interested. THANK GOD she didn't just drop us but communicated with us. She let us keep our date which was very kind of her since we made a big error. All throughout the process Teanna was kind and handled all the changes that we needed to make to our contract. Overall, it was really great to have such an incredible catering team that was reliable and helped our wedding day run smoothly. I would highly recommend them! read more

We hired Teanna for our wedding of 122 guests in 2022. We had a contract which was followed except the fresh fruits we wanted. There were no mangoes and blueberries. The one star was for the good set up of tables, tablecloths, and bartending service we had on our wedding. Communication with Teanna was prompt. At times she was rude, but I figured it was due to being busy. The taco bar and steak were the only food everyone loved. I shy away from writing bad reviews of businesses but for the very expensive cost of the catering and terrible food I had to write a review. The baked salmon was horrible. It seemed like they used frozen salmon. It wasn't seasoned good either! It was supposed to be with lemon and mayo with some seasonings, but it only had salt and pepper on top of the salmon. The asparagus and other veggies were soggy. It seemed again like it was frozen veggies that were used. The fruits were not fresh. They were prepped more than a day or so old. The presentation of the fruit tower was terrible! My husband and I are big foodies and the food was a total disappointment to us. Really felt like money was wasted. We were also told the staff was rude to our guests. The leftover food was taken by us and some families, but were not eaten 'cause of how badly it tasted. I wish I listened to my husband to search for more catering company before deciding on this one. read more

We used Christie's for a graduation party in the park. They were wonderful to work with & the food was delicious. We will definitely be using them again in the future! read more

I just had THANKSGIVING dinner in my home for my family coming from 3 states. I have never hired a caterer and didn't have a recommendation. I picked a WINNER! Teanna prepared the most fantastic feast for 21 turkey eaters. We all raved about each item. She is so very nice and accommodating. I would recommend her hands down and hire her again if we had a large group. Also there was MORE than enough food ! read more

Teanna and her team are amazing! They were able to work with our (not big) budget for my mom's celebration of life. I was worried about having enough food, but I was assured there would be plenty. There was! The food was delicious, and the display was like a work of art. The staff was incredible. They were punctual, very helpful and professional. They checked with me every step of the way on timing & plans. They helped keep our coolers stocked with drinks & even went out and cleared plates from the tables! I am so beyond grateful for Teanna & her team! I will always contact them from now on for any catering needs & highly recommend them. read more

Sorry it took about a year later to post this review. A wedding anniversary to be exact. Yet I needed to post this because I loved working with this vendor. From the time we came in for the tasting till the actual wedding day Teanna, her husband and their team have been amazing! They handled all my last minute request gracefully and on the day of the wedding they were so professional and accommodating. Now the food, let me tell you... it was so good and flavorful. No dry unseasoned meat here. Although we did have another caterer for our culture food, Teanna and her team were so helpful and patient when it came to sharing space and counters. I will and have recommend her to all my friends and family. Thank you guys for service it was Awesome! I wish I had more pics cus this does not do it justice! read more

This is based on the complimentary tasting. We came in and were the first ones there. We were greeted by Christie. She is wonderful and HILARIOUS! We were introduced to her husband Doug and Christie's business parter/co-owner Teanna. We were seated and given two types of crostini's. One was with bacon jam and the other one I think with onions and figs or something like that. Doesn't matter what it is though. Everything we had was soooo good!! AND it came with wine! :) We had the salad next. It was a spinach salad with almonds, tangerines and some other goodness. Then we had one of the BEST parts ever! They served us filet mignon and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. Delicious! Finally they served dessert and it was the cheesecake of my dreams with a heavy crust to cheesecake ratio! At the end we all asked questions and Christie went around and mingled with everyone. They're a really nice group and you can see they work together well and often. I can't wait to have them for our special day!! read more

Teanna and team with Christies Catering are FANTASTIC! The food was delicious and the service was even better. They helped me with set up when they certainly didnt have to and it felt like they were a part of our event. Everyone loved them! I cannot wait to host another event and have them cater with us! read more

Teanna, Mitch and their team are truly one of a kind. As a big foodie myself, my husband and I went to taste test a few times to make sure we really nail down the menu for our guests and oh boy did they deliver. Not only did the food taste incredible and consistent to our tasting, it had our guests going back for 2nds and 3rds.We had one guest that had a dietary restriction due to religious reasons, after finalizing our menu I was worried that we might need to separately order food outside of catering. Working their magic, they were able to make the same entree a with a different sauce so that this guest wouldn't feel left out. In addition, I didn't have time in my planning to consider what the food tables and appetizers displays would look like, Teanna and her team were able to execute such a nice looking display-- we've had so many guests taking pictures of their work. Not only was she great at communicating, shes flexible and truly understands the stress of planning an event such as a wedding. It was so helpful to know that her team could help us set plates, utensils and napkins while we took care of table centerpieces. Her team are also so friendly, helping us clean up messes and spills, were so grateful to them they made our day so much more happier and stress free. We also got to take home leftovers so it was nice to know we had some food for later after a busy couple of days leading up to the wedding. Please consider Teanna and her team for your next event, you won't regret it (: read more

Wish I could say something nice, but all the meat was cold and we had people sick from it. It didn't taste like any meat I had ever eaten, it was mushy and the veggies were also cold. We will never recommend this caterer to anyone, the only postive thing is they were pleasant. read more

This was during a wedding reception last month of August7,2022. First, People put a lot of effort into planning special events -- they do food tasting choose and pick the food to be serve during the reception BUT unfortunately, foods doesn't meet the level of catering ,served cold, overcooked veggies, soggy salads, uncooked rice, the fruits were mixed all over and the roll breads were hard . These lives the guest to dry out caterers don't put as much effort as they should into getting things exactly right. The food simply wasn't on point. Appetizers were limited to the guest . The person who was incharge was told to the guess "You can only have 1 pc of taco". It's ridiculous " The quality, taste, consistency, temperature, and cleanliness of the food is very unsatisfied. The fruit tray were sitting on the table hours without any protection. The hot dishes going lukewarm and most of all the ingredients look and taste cheap! The presentation was lacking Presentation is an important element of catering.delicious and perfectly prepared, BUT the experience with this catering the caterer's attitude toward presentation is haphazard in any way.they were mean and rude they didn't even served water with a real glass we have to get up from our table to get water to the bar using a plastic cups. The service was apathetic What happens if the food is good, the presentation is good, but the catering staff look like they'd rather be elsewhere in the Kitchen.they only came out putting away foods packing in a ziploc and cleaning and empty the food table while guest still eating and grabbing food. The quantities were wrong insufficient food and drink is much, much worse. Which the bride and groom provided all the drinks non alcohol and alcohol but caterer did not serve this leaving the guest hungry and unsatisfied. Fyi. They used 4 kids as they're helper with poor experience and no food handling experience. Be aware DO NOT HIRE THIS CATERER they're photos in the website are not how the presentations of the table settings of the food. Oh and the other thing the cake and dessert plate used was just a regular paper plates. The wine toast for the groom and bride was just the clear plastic cups! read more

I'm strongly considering getting these guys for my own wedding if I can swing it with the reception site! My inlaws have a wedding officiating business and they had a 100+ wedding at their house in Snohomish this weekend that we helped out with. One of the perks on being on the inside? You get to have some of the food too! Everything I had from Christie's was excellent (the only flaw was that the salmon wasn't seasoned enough, but it was still cooked really well). The bride told us the total cost and I was amazed: 6-7 types of appetizers, 3 entree meats, 2 salads, a couple sides -- and plenty of leftovers -- and it was under $40 a head when all was said and done! They provide a bartender if needed, the whole staff is really great to work with, and Christie herself is a kick to talk with! I would definitely recommend them to any upcoming brides. :o) read more

Christie's Catering - Caterers Near Me - Renton, Washington

As a small business owner myself, I generally shy away from writing negative reviews. I appreciate things can go wrong at any time for any number of reasons. That's why I've hesitated to write a review for Christie's Catering. However, there comes a point where it becomes necessary to share your experience. I reached out to Christie's Catering in May 2021. This was 13 months before my wedding. Christie responded promptly. She explained she had sold her business to her long-time employee Teanna, and Christie was now the COO. Within the first month, our venue changed as did the number of people attending. Initially, we planned to have 100 guests with a plated dinner in my parent's backyard, but we decided against that and chose Graystone Castle. Graystone Castle only allows 50 people total on-site. Our guest list was now at 46 people for a plated dinner. Our contract incl. a separate $200 kitchen charge, and four servers at $1200 with the price per person at $35 each for a plated dinner. Graystone Castle has a phenomenal Chef's kitchen. I emailed Teanna asking if we could remove the $200 kitchen fee since they would have full access to the kitchen. My question regarding the $200 was ignored. In Sept. of 2021, I emailed asking about the number of servers our plated dinner would require. Teanna responded due to our guest list being cut in half, only two servers would be required. The total for the $1200 for 3 servers was never adjusted. In Oct. 2021 we sent our $1,000 deposit. I asked about the kitchen charge again. Teanna emailed back saying now due to our dinner being plated service it would require another staff member that could also work as a bartender. We didn't need a bartender. We had also previously discussed our dinner being plated in May of 2021. It was on our contract. Teanna also said due to our getting married on a holiday and food prices being up it would now be $40 per person. An increase of $230, plus another $300 for the extra staff member. My question regarding the use of the Chef's kitchen was ignored. In Mar. 2022 I emailed letting Teanna know I was sending the remaining balance via check. I asked at that time if she would need to know how many people were eating beef and/or salmon. Teanna emailed back confused saying there would be plenty of food for the buffet. I responded back to Teanna reminding her we asked for a plated dinner. All of this is listed on our contract from May 2021. Her email said she'd need to add another staff member. That would be an additional $300. 10 days before my wedding I received a voicemail from Teanna. She said Christie passed away in January 2022. That she's struggling to get into Christie's emails, doesn't have a copy of my contract, and isn't sure what our dinner menu is. This is odd since Teanna emailed me multiple times in March. I emailed a copy of the dinner menu, only to have Teanna say it was not the dinner menu she had. She then began changing items on it. This is after I'd already paid in full. I agreed to the changes Teanna made. I didn't feel I had much of a choice. We live in CA and our wedding was held in Washington state. We had 20 people traveling to Washington from California and Illinois. It was 10 days before our wedding. We had a lot going on. From what I was told the charcuterie board and baked salmon were delicious. The beef skewers were awful. The beef tasted chalky, it was grey and flavorless. I didn't eat it. The next day more than half of our guests were ill with food poisoning. Our wedding was the first time our guests were all around each other. They all had the beef, and all had food poisoning symptoms. Two family members are ER nurses and based on their combined 37 years of nursing, and several advice nurses that were consulted via phone came to the food poisoning conclusion. I emailed Teanna anxious to let her know. Her response back to me was incredibly rude and defensive. She told me to provide her with health documents. I was unable to do this as my guests were from out of state. I felt confident in the diagnosis the family ER nurses and the advice nurses gave to treat food poisoning. I spent my honeymoon taking care of family and friends. Teanna did refund me $200. But I spent more than that buying supplies to help the family and friends that got sick off the meat she served. I would strongly advise against hiring this company. They are unprofessional, disorganized, and rude. I wish I had chosen another caterer in the surrounding area. read more

Their food is wonderful! I loved it when my husband and I went to one of their tasting nights. We even ended up choosing part of the meal we tasted for the wedding! Teanna is amazing and super easy to work with even though we are out of state. We rescheduled due to COVID and they were great it moving the date and adjusting the menu to go with it. Unfortunately we had to completely cancel, still due to COVID, but if we ever redo the wedding we will come back! read more

Check out the Wednesday meal kit! Awesome spread and the price was worth every dime. We made the 40 min drive to support a local business that needs the communities support. Keep up the great work! read more

Christie's Catering was recommended to us by our wedding planner. We went in for a tasting and instantly connected with the owners, Teanna and Mitchell. The food was fantastic, and they had so many options to modify/add to our menu. Leading up to the wedding day, I realized desserts were going to be too much for me to pull together and I asked if we could add some to our catering service. It was seamless and we were able to create a few options without any problems. The real awe was on our wedding day. Oh my gosh. Mitchell was standing there for us right away when we walked back down the isle after the ceremony with appetizers for us. He also brought us a plate during our dinner, then came back to get us seconds. He was very good about making sure everyone got enough to eat, and he checked in with us a few times, asking if we needed cake cutting knives, etc. Just so very attentive and sweet. Every single guest I talked to said the food was outstanding. The prime rib and salmon were crowd favorites, along with an olive pasta salad and fresh summer salad. We even got compliments on the vegetables (which were so good during the tasting also). Just overall such a wonderful experience. I really loved working with this team so much!! -Tori and Sebastian 7/22/23 read more

For the weekend of my son's wedding, we had several different caterers for several different meals. Christies was by far the best. It's a family run operation and that makes all the difference, I think. The food was good and plentiful, and the family members who helped us were cheerful and capable. One of the other catering companies we used had super grouchy employees which is no good at a wedding. read more

Christie and her staff catered my wife and I's wedding this past month and they were amazing! I was having a hard time deciding on a caterer because I didn't know exactly what I wanted, and there were so many choices of caterers! I didn't understand catering pricing or what questions to ask, but Christie made it all so easy. She answered all of our questions and was willing to work with any special request that I had. She handled linens, plates, silverware, etc. I told her ideas about what I was thinking, and she found ways to make it work. Our guests loved the food and we had leftovers after. Her staff was friendly on the day of the event and she even stopped in before the ceremony to share her wishes for our future. We loved working with Christie and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome caterer. read more

Christie's Catering - Caterers Near Me - Renton, Washington

Christie catered our wedding and if I could give 0-stars I would. First, the food was akin to cafeteria offerings. Second, a friend of ours told us after the wedding that Christie had boasted about how much she was able to swindle us by over charging for her services. Things may have changed since the "changing of hands", but since Christie is still involved in day to day operations, I thought it best to offer my experience. read more

We just visited Christie's earlier this week for a tasting for our wedding--and WOW! We had such a wonderful experience and I cannot wait to work with them on our special day. Teanna crushes it in the kitchen, Mitchell takes care of you at the bar, while Christie and Doug warmly welcome you like an old friend they've known for ages. Their entire team has showered us with kindness and generosity, and they are truly passionate about making your occasion the absolute best that it can be. The food is delicious, the menu is expansive and thorough with a multitude of options that are sure to satisfy everyone--including your pickiest guest. Did I already mention that the food is DELICIOUS??! This team has given us the peace of mind we've been searching for, since our original wedding venue we booked left us high and dry (The Monte Cristo Ballroom disaster). Christie's has saved the day, and not only has our business for our wedding, but for future events as well. Give them a try, you won't regret it--and you'll leave with a full tummy and some new friends!! THANK YOU, CHRISTIE'S!!! read more

I had planned our wedding from out of state, all the way from Alaska. I had looked online at various catering companies and we got so excited when we came across Christie's Catering. At the time, though, I hadn't met her in person. She had an excellent reputation, years of experience...so we figured we had hit the jackpot. When we finally flew into town 3 weeks before the wedding, we attended one of her dinners she hosts. Her cooking was wonderful and we had an enjoyable evening, but you could tell she had had a good buzz going. No big deal I guess, but it took me by surprise, nevertheless. We communicated back and forth numerous times via email. She kept saying in response to a specific request or question I'd ask, "trust me, sweetie, I've been doing this for longer than you've been alive. You don't have to worry about a thing. It will all turn out just great". Very frustrating. Especially because my venue had specific questions for me they needed to know and she would never answer them directly. On one occurrence, we had set up a time to meet to go over the final payment amount and confirm the wedding details...but she wasn't there when I showed up. I waited, and waited and then I finally called her. She was over at a local bar and said she would be right over. She arrived at her shop after a while, drunk. She could barely focus on numbers or wedding details. What someone does outside of work is one thing, but we had a meeting that evening which we scheduled in advance. On a second occurrence, I had explained to her I needed the linens 15 minutes prior to my event time so my decorating crew was all ready to get started once doors opened. Christie told me I could meet her over at her shop on Thursday and pick them up so I would have them before the wedding for peace of mind. She said to come by any time before 7pm and that she would be there. She was not there when I arrived to pick them up, and when I called her she said the linens had not come in that day. Why didn't she call me to tell me so I didn't have to make a trip all the way out there?? Initially, Christie made a huge, glorious menu for our wedding. Appetizers, entrees, drinks, cake, and a dessert bar. I was SO excited because I'm a total foodie. But I have to admit, I was sadly unimpressed overall with the food. Reason #1, I verbally requested TWO flavored lemonades at the above mentioned meeting- we specifically discussed that I wanted 1 blueberry lemonade and one raspberry lemonade. She tried to convince me to just do a giant container of blueberry/raspberry lemonade. I made it clear that was not what I wanted. I ended up with only 1 flavored lemonade. I was bummed, I had always dreamed of having a flavored lemonade bar at my wedding someday. Additionally, I specifically asked at the dinner she hosted if salt and pepper shakers would be provided at each table, and they were not. Reason #2, one of my entrees, the chicken in pecan sauce or something of the sort...was an absolute disappointing fail. The chicken looked and tasted like the kind you buy in a large bag out of the freezer section and the sauce was very bland. The other entree we served was lemon and dill salmon and it was excellent. However, my family complained to me they had several bones in their pieces. Pros: The mashed potatoes were good. The corn casserole dish was alright, my family enjoyed it. Her salads are excellent. There was certainly more than enough food. I had her make my wedding cake and cupcakes, they were delicious (I had to purchase the decor for them though). The dessert buffet was a crowd pleaser. And everyone took home food after the wedding. Her staff were all very friendly. The display was beautiful. Christie has a very kind heart. read more

Recently married in Seattle, WA on August 2nd with a guest list of 160+ and Christie and her staff was extremely helpful. We faced a huge problem with not having a kitchen and not having a real sink (the sink is smaller than my bathroom sink). Christie and her staff came through and everything was perfect. Buffet line - Clean and tidy throughout the night. All the dishes were restocked quickly (as far as I can tell) and the line for food went through quite smoothly. Food - We had the salmon with the mango, the bbq pork sliders, skewers, pasta,.... It was all really good and the friends were asking if there were left over salad - it was that good! This is even knowing that they did NOT have a kitchen to heat food! They had a few boxes of food left over at the end of the night and some friends were able to take them home. Staff - Very attentive and gave everyone about an hour to eat and was attentive to picking up finished dishes to wash.... IN THE TINY SINK. This was HUGE for us since we did not want anyone needing to clean. The staff was quick to get everything cleaned up without interrupting any performances. They were suppose to leave at 10PM and we went slightly over time so a few helped us roll some tables to the loading dock out on their way out. Prices - Very fair and accommodating. Probably the lower priced option, but you wont' be sacrificing much for the lower price. Food exceeded my expectations, and was even better than some restaurants. +1: She let us pick up the linens (napkins + table cloths) early so we can wrap them and setup the reception site early. She also let us pick up the cutlery too. No nickel and diming, which is very appreciated. +1: We rented water goblets and the staff made sure to clean and pack them up afterwards. +1: She made sure we had a box dinner for afterwards, which was a sweet touch. +1: She gets a discount from Grand Events Bellvue for chairs & tables and works directly with them. NOTE: Grand Events thought we stole a chair dolly from them since they couldn't find it. Her staff went to the reception site a few days afterwards to look for the dolly to prevent that extra charge. They really went the extra mile! +1: Her head chef (Teanna Stoemmer) was great. She helped us with cake cutting and her skill and experience is clearly seen. I've been to weddings where the cake was cut improperly and there wasn't enough, but she was amazing and very quick. Recommendations: Be very specific to what you need / want and be up front and in writing, especially with colors and requirements. Have a floor plan of the event space so they can work with the space and know before hand where/how to set things up - again, on paper. Let the staff know the timing as much as you can; they need it to time clean up - again, on paper. Best to have everyone on the same page; makes things go smoother. Disclaimer: I was the groom for the event. I was not paid or given any discount to write this review. This review is an independent review of an actual customer. (Sad that I have to write that nowadays, but there are too many fake reviewers). read more

We are so happy to have ended up with Christies Catering, I must have looked into almost 10 different caterers getting quotes and putting together menus with them and Christie's ended up in the top two. There were two things that made us go this way #1 the flexibility a lot of catering companies just seem so rigid in their rules, numbers, required by dates...etc, we wanted something easy going and #2 Pricing there was about a $2k price gap between the two. I had a custom menu in mind that most caterers were having trouble creating, they wanted to incorporate more of their pre-set seasonal recipes but Christie was so creative and willing to do anything with the menu. She was always very responsive to email and willing to make changes even through the week of the wedding. The servers & bartender were also amazing during our reception, soo nice and attentive. We did a Krispy Kreme cake that Christie herself was sweet enough to put together for us and dressed up our little cutting cake in fresh flowers to make it perfect. From what I know the food was great. My husband and I unfortunately were too wrapped up in everything to be hungry but got to finally eat leftovers that night and for the next few days. I can't wait to get the setup photos from the photographer! Everything was so beautifully setup for cocktail hour and the buffet we were just too busy to enjoy it. read more

Bads: Christie catered for my wedding. Throughout the whole process there were a lot of miss communication, a lot of repeating emails, and a lot of you said, I said. My wife and I were not satisfied with the whole experience. I can list all the issues here, but instead I will end it by saying, "I will not use her for my future events." Good: The food was decent. The service was ok, but some of my guess stated that the bartender was rude. They worked hard in setting things up, especially in the hot weather. We tipped all the waiters and bartender. We did not tip Christie. read more

We used Christie's for my baby shower and it was great! There are flexible options as far as food and pickup that may help your budget. The food was amazing, her staff is friendly. Would definitely use them again! read more

I can not say enough great things about Christie and her team who catered our wedding this past August. We fell in love with Christie as soon as we had our initial meeting with her. We felt that she was one of the few people in this wedding industry that is not out to penny and dime you. With thirty years under her belt (and a Food Network challenge recipe winner), she knows the business very well and is only concerned with making your wedding day the best for you. She's a hilarious lady with a hyper doggie that she loves dearly and I can tell she fell in love with me and my husband. Christie doesn't offer a menu. Rather, you give her ideas of what you'd like and she will create them for you. We thought this was a great idea as it gives us more options and also keeps our costs low. She also doesn't offer tastings to keep your costs lower, but rest assured, her food is yummy and your guests will be satisfied. Her team on the day of our wedding was extremely professional. I really appreciated one of her wait staff coming up to me right after the ceremony to ask me if I wanted a drink of water. She knew it was a stressful day for me, and I truly thought that was great. Christie also was there making sure everything ran smoothly. I felt so horrible since she had to deal with an outrageously rude venue employee, but she handled it really well. I'd definitely recommend Christie as a wedding/party caterer. And I'd use her again for other occasions. Working with her was a riot and I'm sure she'll make your planning process as breezy as she did for us. read more

We picked Christie to cater our wedding based on a friend's suggestions (our friend has 20+ years in the catering industry). She was so easy to work with, and so accommodating. She surprised us at the end of our wedding with a beautiful picnic packed with lots of goodies from our wedding dinner. She knew that we wouldn't have the opportunity to eat during the reception and had a bit of everything packed up for us. There was plenty of food, and Christie's Catering is so reasonably priced! You would never know based on the quality of the food and the quantity! People thought we paid twice what we paid. I would definitely use this caterer again. read more

I am on the Elder Board for the Aurora Church of the Nazarene in Shoreline WA and our church hosted a celebration for the arrival of our new lead pastor, Pastor Jimmy Skeen. His first Sunday with us was on 11/13/11 and we hired Christie's Catering to cook a meal for 300+ guests immediately following our church service. I heard only positive feed back from our church members. The Caesar salad was especially noted as the best Caesar salad many of our members had ever tasted. I heard other members say it was a 5 star meal. Everyone's expectations were exceeded and Christie's Catering made our leadership team shire. I am looking forward to hiring them again for our next big event. Thanks Christie! read more

We made the perfect choice hiring Christie to cater our wedding at Lake Wilderness Lodge. She was easy to work with, creative with the menu, professional and SO reasonably priced (how does she do it???) Everything went off without a hitch and our guests were raving about the food and service. She was even able to convert a dish to be gluten free for us THANK YOU CHRISTIE! read more

We hired Christie to cater our wedding this May and it was one of the best decisions we ever made! Weeks later and our friends and family are still raving about the food! The salmon and beef tenderloin was amazing, and the appetizers were out of this world! Don't be put off by her store front, the food is fantastic and the service was excellent! Christie is an absolute joy to work with as well! We shopped around and could not find a better price or better quality! Thank you so much Christie! You will be highly recommended!

In October 2016 Christies Catering supported our corporate 50th anniversary party. I had a strict budget and quite a few tall request and Christie delivered on all of them. The event was for 1000+ guest on-site at our facility, she had a kitchen to work in but no heating equipment and still managed to serve elegant and delicious hot food. I was looking for heavy hors d'oeuvre but what she supplied could have fed an army. We had a beautiful fruit display, deluxe cheese and crackers, chicken sliders, a taco bar with guacamole and salsa, a bratwurst station, Italian meatballs, and multiple toppings for garlic crostini's. The food was endless and I received nothing but great feedback from employees in the following weeks. I even had several request to purchase bags of bratwursts from the supplier. On top of the food, her staff served alcohol that we purchased which saved us a ton as we had an open bar. The staff was fantastic, they were very professional and helpful. After the event they cleaned up and put all leftovers in our refrigerator which everyone appreciated the next day. Christie was an awesome person to work with and you can tell her clients are her top priority. She would frequently check in with me and helped me every step of the way to ensure we were ready for the big day. She even went out of her way to take me to her florist to help with the centerpieces, we were also able to use her discount. We have had other events that needed catering in the past and I wish I would have known about Christies Catering at that time. I would use her services over and over again. It was very cost effective, great service, wonderful food and overall a very pleasant experience. read more

Went to a 40th birthday party recently where they were the catering company. They did an excellent job, and Christie is absolutely amazing herself! The staff was great and the food and presentation was wonderful! read more

We used Christie's Catering for our daughter's wedding. We tasted her food initially at a bridal fair and followed up with a dinner tasting at her kitchen. The food was good and we left a deposit to save our date. We ended up agreeing on an amount per person based on a menu of appetizers, chicken, short ribs (amazing) rice, potatoes, salad, rolls, and fruit. It was reasonable and she took care of the linens, utensils, and plates. Her staff was attentive throughout the event and we received positive reports from many guests. We really didn't have to worry about a thing. I appreciate her commitment to her clients needs! Thanks to Christie and her staff! read more

We had a great time at a tasting event with Christie and her staff!! They were knowledgeable and supportive with all our questions and gave us a great vision for the big day. We can't wait to use her and her team for our wedding!!! read more

I'm a wedding coordinator in Seattle, and have worked with a lot of great caterers, venues, photographers, etc. over the years. I recently worked with Christie's Catering and it was a disaster. You might be tempted to hire her because her catering is significantly cheaper than other prices you'll find in the Seattle area. I will say one positive thing--some of her staff members were really friendly and helpful. However...They ran out of food before two whole tables were able to eat and they left before all the drink cups, glasses, bottles were picked up at the end of the night, even though they were contracted to provide bartending services. As people went through the buffet line, everything got really messy, and they didn't tidy it up--the fruit display was totally empty and the tablecloth below had fruit everywhere. Then, after dinner, some guests were sitting with dirty dinner plates in front of them for over an hour before someone came to clear them. Christie herself is incredibly rude and unprofessional. She is confrontational with other vendors and overly dramatic. Please do yourself and your other vendors a favor and stay away from Christie's Catering! read more

The food was good and inexpensive. However, the caterer ran out of food for all of my guests which was not cool.

Buyer beware. Christie provided a reasonable quote and we attended her free taste testing to verify her culinary expertise. The food was good although they served me a piece of chicken that was undercooked. We thought it was just an anomaly and were satisfied with the other dishes. We gave her a $100 cash deposit thinking her pricing was reasonable and were seriously considering using her. We received a revised estimate that more than doubled in price outside of our budget. We asked for our deposit back. I figured she would be reasonable and refund a portion of our deposit. I would hold off on giving her any money until you have a quote based on the dishes you want. We felt like we were baited and switched. read more

I was struggling to find an affordable caterer for our local wedding and was thrilled when I first found Christie's website. I reached out to her via email after reviewing her menus and sent her what we were looking for as far as food, budget, and number of guests. I love that her services included so much of the necessities for the reception as it meant I would have fewer vendors to deal with! She was quick to respond with answers to all of my questions and she was able to provide everything at a price point my fiancé and I were comfortable with. Communication was great and she was incredibly understanding when we kept having to reschedule a tasting due to a family member passing. Getting to taster her food and meet her in person sealed the deal for my fiancé and I. She just felt like she could be anyone's grandmother and had story after story to entertain you with. And of course the food was delicious too! We were so excited. She stayed in touch as we continued our planning and was sweet enough to let us pick up our table linens early so we could have the tables prepped before the catering crew arrived. When the crew arrived on site I was pleasantly surprised to see her with the team members she told me would be working our wedding. It certainly made us feel special that she took the time to make sure things were set up properly and that everything was going smoothly. She was so sweet and gave both of us great big hugs and had us feeling very reassured. The staff was fantastic all night; the food was delicious, the buffet, dessert, and bar tables looked amazing and everyone loved what we served. My fiancé and I had been to a well-known seafood restaurant the night before and Christie's food put them to shame. If we ever have another event that requires catering, I know Christie will be the first one I'll be calling! read more

Christie and Doug are the best! They are so kind and flexible. Their food is amazing. My husband and I chose Christie to be our caterer for our wedding right after we went to her tasting. The food is great and there's no denying it. We couldn't have chose better. Everything went smoothly the day of our weeding and we recieved our cleaning deposit back from our venue. Pick Christies catering she is reasonably priced, so friendly, and knows what shes doing in the kitchen. read more

Christie's Catering recently catered my wedding, I was so happy with everything they did. All the guests enjoyed the food and everything went off with out any issues. Everything was prepared and presented nicely, the bartender did a great job and all the staff was very friendly. Christie did a great job communicating with me during the planning process, and great at accomodating everything, she is such a great woman and I would highly recommend friends to use her. She is also very reasonably priced and will work within any budget. I would definitely use her business again for any large event. read more
