As foodies, my wife and I wanted a remarkable experience for our guests at our wedding. Stephanie…read moreexceeded our expectations and we can't wait to work with her again. I've worked with a few caterers and there are three things that I believe separate Stephanie from the rest: 1) Attention to detail. Our wedding included several guests with diet restrictions including celiac disease, nut and dairy allergies, and 3 diabetics. She didn't even flinch when this was disclosed to her. She came up with a custom buffet menu that would meet everyone's needs. The food was phenomenal...we're still getting complements about it. 2) Resourcefulness and integrity. When we had a slight hiccup with where she was going to be set up for the wedding, she made everything work, even with some space and neccesities taken away. She consistently acted with poise, ease and under control...always solution driven, which put me, the guests and the wedding coordinator at ease. 3) Creativity. The menu and appetizers she put together included seasonal ingredients with brilliant colors and flavors that really complemented each other. She did it under a strict budget that even shocked me with regard to her ability to create superb flavor without being simple and traditional. She truly thinks outside the box. Above all, she's incredible to work with and respectful. She had not just our needs in mind but everyone's needs the whole time and required very little follow-up. We highly recommend Stephanie.

Stephanie just did a marvelous eight course meal for my 40th birthday. All sixteen of us had an…read moreamazing meal and Stephanie was a real joy to work with. I am very particular about food and I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted. We met multiple times including a dinner at Range so I could communicate the flavors I liked. Then she ran with it. From uni, quail egg, sake, ginger shooters to the most perfectly cooked lamb ribs and great creative cocktails - it rocked. She also made the meal a lot of fun and set a great tone for the evening.

We hired The Grain Collective to cater my parents' 65th wedding anniversary celebration, and the…read moreexperience was exceptional from start to finish. Chef Dom guided me through a process that initially felt overwhelming--deciding what to serve for a group ranging from 5 to 90 years old. He provided a thoughtful questionnaire that helped us narrow down options that would work for our family, considering not just the food but also the best serving style. On the day of the event, Chef Brian served a remarkable multi-course Thai meal that left everyone raving. But more than the food, what stood out was the care taken to ensure our family time wasn't overshadowed by kitchen activities. If there was ever a question, Chef Brian would discretely check with me and then quietly continue his work. When presenting each dish, they shared what we were eating and were eager to answer any questions. They kept the space clean and organized as they worked, and when it was time for my father's speech, all kitchen activities paused so we could fully appreciate the moment. I wouldn't hesitate to hire The Grain Collective again for any future private dining experience.

I hired Joe from Dropping Beets to make a family-style dinner for my birthday, and it was perfect…read more The goal was something casual yet special--just a great meal I didn't have to cook. Joe created a menu that felt effortless but had so many thoughtful, creative touches. The arancini with fresh crab were incredible--light, crispy, and paired perfectly with a bold puttanesca sauce. The Acqua Pazza (crazy water) was the highlight for me--this brothy, flavorful fish dish served over crustini that made the meal interactive and fun. It was savory, a little briny, with just the right kick of heat, and absolutely nailed that fresh, light, and vibrant vibe I love. Those were just a couple of the standouts--everything he made was delicious, and the ingredients really shined. Joe's menu felt like "me," which is what made it so special. My friends kept saying how much the meal reminded them of me, and I couldn't agree more. He also knew his way around my kitchen, cleaned up afterward, and made the whole experience seamless. If you're looking for a private chef who's creative, easy to work with, and affordable, Joe is the one. He made my birthday unforgettable!

Incredible, reliable, delicious, unique! Chef Joe made my 8-person dinner party dreams come true…read more The presentation was excellent, the appetizers to die for and the best salmon I've ever had in my life! He left the kitchen spotless and even wrapped up leftovers for us to enjoy the following day. I've had the pleasure of attending parties featuring several different professional chefs/caterers and this experience was an all around 10/10. Don't think twice before contacting Joe for your next special event!

I am the hospitality person tasked with feeding performers and volunteers at five events a year…read more With dietary restrictions and individual likes and dislikes, this can be a challenge. I started by checking with several Redmond-area restaurants, posting on social media, and searching Yelp! for catering services. In the process I found All Elements Catering. Karen Fry has been extremely helpful. She walked me through her impressive menu and guided me to foods that have received high praise from the event staff. The food has been delivered (a big plus for me) hot and on time to the venue. The packaging has made the after meal clean up very easy. I was initially put off by the cost; however, after doing some arithmetic, I realized that the entire service cost about the same as taking the performers and staff to a restaurant. Well worth the convenience of serving everyone at the venue. If you need high quality catering, I highly recommend All Elements Catering, Bend OR.
