catering testimonials

Courtney and the din din crew treated our wedding reception with careful attention to detail, a loving host’s touch, and incredible skill. Courtney worked with us to create a menu that reflected our tastes, our event, and the foods of our region beautifully. Every course of this ambitious menu was perfectly prepared, despite the large scale of our event. The food was absolutely delicious—our guests are still talking about it!”

–Kate & Chris, wedding reception

Courtney’s menus are always inventive. She has a unique point of view on the balance of flavor, texture, and presentation that always delights our guests and makes our events memorable and delicious!”

–Lisa MacKenzie, MacKenzie Marketing Group, various work and private parties

Courtney, of all the thank-yous I have for last night, my biggest one is to you. Not only was your food delicious but your sticking around the whole night and cleaning up so thoroughly went well, well beyond any expectations I had in exchange for the price! WOW!”

–Liz Reilly, Planned Parenthood of the Columbia Willamette, fundraising event
