A Grand Affaire Catering

I've used A Grande Affaire for several of my events now, and each time, the food, service, and response has been excellent. I've used them from smaller events (showers, etc) to larger events (holiday parties, gatherings, professional catering), and they've been top notch every single time.On a secondary note, I've noticed that they've begun to update their dinnerware and casing so that as much as possible was compostable, recyclable, or reusable. I really loved that aspect of it.

We hired A Grand Affaire to cater my 60th birthday party.  It was an open house and we were expecting 35-40 guests.  Monica was great at helping us select the right variety of cold and warm platters.  The food was delivered on time and the warm food was still warm as promised.  The platters were beautifully arranged and it was just the right quantity.  We also appreciated that virtually all the trays and serving pieces were either recyclable or compostable.  We had many compliments on the food from our guests and I would definitely use AGA again.

It was all just perfect. The food was on-time and beautiful. The trays/utensils were lovely, easy to use, and eco-friendly. The food was a hit and everyone said it was delicious!! Can't thank the team enough for making it a great party!

We got married a few years ago, but I just have to get this off my chest. This company basically ruined our wedding.  Monica (the owner) was out of town during our wedding, so maybe the people left in charge weren't experienced enough to be left to run things. We chose a buffet. The minute I saw the food laid out I knew it wasn't enough. I could just tell by looking. Sure enough, many of our guests never ate due to a food shortage! Aside from catering, we hired someone from Grand Affaire to be a wedding planner/helper to make sure things ran smoothly. You would think she would have ordered pizza or something to make sure the guests at least got something. I didn't realize what happened until after my wedding and it was too late- the only reason I found out was through guests. Mainly, I would have appreciated a heads up to have a chance to resolve the situation. To make matters worse, I ordered a few different flavors of cake from another vendor to give guests a choice. I distinctly told Grand Affaire to make sure each guest only got one piece to start to make sure we had enough. Later I found out the servers handed out multiple flavors to the same people before others got a chance to get any (probably because they were hungry from not eating), so many people didn't get cake either! We (bride and groom didn't even get a slice)! We planned the wedding for a year and now when I look at pictures, instead of having happy memories all I can think of is this. Food is one of the most important things at a wedding and what guests look forward to! Grand Affaire gave a refund for the people who didn't eat but I don't think it was enough of a compensation. Many guests started with salad and light plates thinking they could go back for seconds, so they didn't eat much either. My wedding was vegetarian. Monica mentioned that maybe her workers were confused because they usually serve meat and expected to have that as a main dish, so didn't prepare properly... but why advertise that you can handle a vegetarian wedding when you can't. Another downside was that they didn't offer final tastings. The food we did end up with was just ok. Nothing special.

First and foremost, we LOVED the food Monica and her team created at our wedding. Thats super important as we want to make sure our guests feel they are appreciated for coming to our celebration, a great meal is 100% absolutely a MUST and A Grand Affaire delivered that and more. We loved all our caterers that graciously invited us to their open houses to sample, and truthfully they were all amazing, but maybe Im a little biased, Im a huge fan of our PNW stable: salmon. AGF won me over with their exceptional salmon cooked to perfection, and MY OH MY, our guests LOVED it. Many family members and friends came afterward to tell us how much they loved the salmon, and that put a huge smile on my face because, well, I put a special request for the salmon to be perfect, and yes, AGF 100% delivered. Furthermore, Monica is just a joy to work with from the get-go. She even helped us put together the floor plan so we can have our first dance in the middle of the room and also free up space for our guests to get to their bar. Monica spent a lot of time to make sure our wedding was perfect, and we cant thank her enough for it. Seriously; HIRE her and AGF for your wedding, they are AMAZING!!
