Testimonials

"Our reception on May 28th was fabulous. The food was presented in an impressive spread and it tasted delicious. Several of our guests commented on dinner and we wanted to pass along the compliments. Thank you all again! - Steve & Cassie

"I wanted to send you a personal note to say thank you for all the work you put into making our event at the Port of Olympia so fantastic!  In my usual panicked state, I created some confusion during the set up and you were so gracious and very helpful with it all. Also, we received so many compliments on how wonderful the food was. This is the largest event I have had to plan and you took the stress right out of it!

Once again, thank you for helping to make this event such a success. I will not only use Occasions for future events, but I will also recommend you to anyone looking for a caterer."  Sincerely, Mandy Lill;  Washington Public Ports Association

We loved everything about “Occasions Catering”!" -Gordon and Patty
 

"Our wedding reception was fabulous!!! It was everything I envisioned and so much more. You and your team did a wonderful job. I didn't interact with the staff much, but when I needed something or asked for something they were polite and friendly and saw to it immediately. The food was amazing and that is what I've heard from guests as well. The decorations were so gorgeous and it was so perfect. I can't even describe....I had an amazing day and time. Thank you so so much! I don't have pictures yet, but as soon as I get them, I will send them to you. Once again, thank you for everything Marie, you made my fairytale come true!" - Michelle
 

The wedding was perfection. We all had too much fun, the staff was wonderful, everything went really smoothly, the room was gorgeous, the food was fantastic... We are still having people call us with praises and raves about everything!”
 

“Thank you for the prompt and comprehensive response, Ashley. Sometimes when evaluating various suppliers and vendors (regardless of the event type), the differences among them are subtle. In the case of our catering services exploration for this wedding, Occasions has been a standout in terms of customer service and professionalism.
 

"The room was beautiful and great set up to accommodate both wedding and reception. Kathy was fabulous for keeping us organized and knowing when to come through the big doors. Staff were very attentive and well organized- ready for all details, e.g. cupcakes arriving and needing set up. Food was fabulous, everyone complimented the choice and how good it was. The whole evening went so smoothly-that seems to be the common comment: ‘that was the best wedding I have attended, it went so smooth, so fun and relaxing.’ For me, the whole evening was very fun, no stress, only one time of panic when we didn't have enough places for everyone to sit-our food count was accurate but the additional babies & little ones on chairs took at least 10-12 more spots. But staff quickly put up another table and it went smoothly. We will highly recommend the venue and your staff to many others as I know our guests will as well. The Bride and Groom commented: "It was a perfect night." It doesn't get much better than that!!!. Thanks again for all of your help and making it so special. "

"Your staff did an excellent job... well planned, executed and presented. Photographing weddings with such obvious professionalism is extra pleasurable. Until the next time..."

Occasions Catering was awarded '2009 Green Business of the Year' by Thurston County Chamber!


Occasions is Green!  Occasions is using sustainable green practices throughout our company. 
Our management is committed to incorporate green tactics.  We have implemented practical systems to turn our “trash talk” into “trash action”.

Here’s what we are doing:

  • We recommend using china/glass over disposable service-ware.
  • We have incorporated compostable (disposable) service-ware into our inventory. For example, our disposable service-ware is made from corn.
  • All kitchen food waste is composted
  • All kitchen paper is composted
  • All office paper is composted.
  • We recycle all of our toner/ink cartridges
  • All cardboard boxes are recycled.
  • All clear plastic bags are recycled.
  • All glass bottles, cans, and other recyclable containers are separated and recycled.
  • Composting bins (on rollers!) go to our job sites and all compostable food and service-ware is returned in the bin to our business for compost pickup.
     

Our Green Endeavor Principles:

1. Cooking, serving and waste responsibility preserves the environment for everyone.

2. Lead by example: demonstrate and teach that green strategy works in the catering industry.

3. Set a standard and expectation that we hold the key to future green management.

4. Commitment to do the right thing.
