We want pricing to be accurate and transparent.

Pricing for catering is a tricky thing. There are so many options with catering that can make the pricing fluctuate in incredible ways! When we build proposals for our clients, we want the pricing to be as accurate as possible, and we want to give a clear picture of our services and everything we're involved in. We break our pricing down into 5 sections - Food, Beverage, Rentals, Service & Gratuity.

On average, our wedding clients end up spending between $85 and $200 per person depending on which of our services are needed for their event. Here’s a general break down of what that looks like. Please note, this is a broad estimate and many variables (such as venue, rental needs, and individual menu selections) can have a big impact on your quote. Pricing is subject to change.

Food

Locally sourced and sustainable food is one of our main goals. We've built relationships with farms in and around Portland to ensure we get the best ingredients for each season! All items on our menu are priced per guest and are based on your final headcount.

For your cocktail hour, we offer stationary items or passed items. Priced separately, items can range from $2/person to $8/person.

Whether you're looking to host a Family-Style meal, Plated meal, or a more casual Buffet meal - we price each menu based on the unique blend of selections. Depending on the number of total items selected for the menu (salad(s), sides and entrees), and the items themselves, our menus may range from $40/person to $65/person.

While desserts have never been a focus for us (we like to leave cakes to the pros), we do provide some desserts when we're able. Let us know your ideas and we can talk pricing!

Beverages

An essential accompaniment to food, we'll provide basic non-alcoholic beverages for all of your guests.

Along with pitchers of water on each guest table, we'll provide a self-serve beverage station with minted water and lemonade. Portland's own Extracto coffee, and Steven Smith Teas can also be added at an additional per guest price. Your local and out-of-town guests will be thrilled with the quality!

Our bar offerings and service are of the same quality and craft as our food. When we provide bar service, we provide everything. Please let us know if you are also interested in our team providing your event with alcoholic beverages and bartending services and we can provide additional info and pricing regarding that!

Service Team

Known as Portland's most helpful catering crew, our staff will be on site every step of the way and will pitch in wherever needed.

We arrive about 2 hours prior to guest arrival. This gives us adequate time to set the necessary things up (place settings, food and beverage stations, etc.). We'll plan to be off-site 1 hour after the event concludes.

Our crew will be led by our Lead Server, who will oversee every aspect of your event. They'll be the first to arrive from our staff, and will be the last to leave.

On site, we'll also have a chef lead overseeing the chef team, and our bar manager. We have quite the reputation in the Portland wedding community for being prompt, helpful, kind, and enthusiastic. Just another way we ensure you and your guests are well taken care of!

Depending on the service style selected, staffing can range between $12/guest up to $40/guest for a top-level plated meal.

Server staffing is the main difference between our 3 main serving styles (buffet, family-style, plated). For a buffet meal, we'll typically staff 1 server per 25-30 guests; for family-style service, we'll typically staff 1 server per 25 guests; for plated meals, we'll typically staff 1 server per 16 guests. This doesn't take into consideration some venues that require some extra staff and setup.

Rental Items

We are glad to facilitate rentals for you! Unlike many other caterers, we don't add a rental service fee for doing this - it's part of what we do!

If you'd like us to use our experience on items we believe we'll need, we can do that. If you have some ideas for unique pieces and design elements, we can help with that too!

There are TONS of options in the Portland market; we can point you in the direction of some of our favorite people to work with and can help put a rental plan together with you.

Here’s a list of many of the vendors who we love and recommend!

Staff Gratuity

We like to keep things simple, and while our staff is well-compensated for their time, an extra gratuity is always appreciated - especially considering the long hours and demanding work they put in.

Instead of tacking on an extra 20% to your contract - we charge $100 gratuity for each staff member on site. That money goes directly to them and we appreciate your enthusiasm in showing them they're appreciated!
