Vickie and the Ravishing Radish team truly went above and beyond to help my husband and I curate a menu for our fall wedding. The time, professionalism, and careful thought that went into helping us plan the menu for our big day was so greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, we ended up having to cancel our wedding indefinitely due to personal family reasons, but when we informed the team of this they were incredibly kind and understanding.

If you are looking for a team that will ensure the food at your wedding or event will be delicious and memorable, this team will surely deliver. They also take it one step further and care about you in the process. With both of these things in mind, you need look no further than Ravishing Radish Catering. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

I'm a wedding photographer and this 2021 wedding season, had the good fortune to have worked with Ravishing Radish at THREE weddings (that I can remember) and by worked, I also mean I got to taste their delicious food. Their short ribs are TO DIE FOR. And here's the thing - photographers don't always get to eat because of our wedding schedule through no fault of anyone's but RR makes sure their fellow vendors are cared for consistently, and I really appreciate that. THANK YOU RR! Dreaming of your short ribs.

What a great experience! We did pandemic style curbside pickup tasting menu and knew we'd found "the one!" Everyone we talked with during planning was great and super helpful, they worked with us to get the menu we wanted, and everything went perfectly on our big day! Didn't have my phone with me, so no pictures, but so good! Yummy short rib, salmon, chicken skewers, roasted vegetables. We even had some people say they didn't know it was possible to hav egood wedding food until ours! yay!

Ravishing Radish did an incredible job of catering our wedding - we were blown away by the entire experience of working with them. I can not speak highly enough about their service, culinary creativity, and of course the truly delicious food. As a plant-based couple, we wanted a fully vegan wedding menu but that since most of our guests wouldn't be vegan, we needed something that everyone would be happy to eat.

We also have a number of favorite menu items from our own home cooking that we really wanted to have represented somehow in the menu. Oh, and throw in we had one severe peanut allergy and one gluten free guest in the group. So with all that - we knew we had to find a really special caterer who could work with us for our special day. Ravishing Radish not only rose to the challenge but vastly exceed our expectations.

They did a stunning family style plant-based menu that had all the guests exclaiming they couldn't believe there was no dairy or meat; and they even worked to incorporate one of my personal recipes into the meal. The appetizers were delicious too - plant-based or not, when (not if!) you work with Ravishing Radish you have to try the edamame wasabi wonton bites - wow!

The team also worked with us to create two delicious cocktails including one non-alcoholic one using our favorite ingredients. What really set Ravishing Radish apart was the quality of the food, the lovely service, and the little details - they hunted down specialty items we had mentioned in passing (like a particular brand of plant-based milk, and our favorite brand of non-alcoholic spirit). I could not recommend Ravishing Radish more highly!

Ravishing Radish took great care to make sure the food and drinks could be enjoyed by all of our wedding guests, and they were able to help us overcome changes in guest counts due to pandemic. They did a great job with dietary restrictions and having drink options for those who don't drink alcohol. Many of the guests said they enjoyed the food and the hot chocolate bar. The setup and service on the day of the wedding was great and went smoothly.

We had a great experience working with Ravishing Radish! All of the planners- Jana and Vickie were helpful, organized, and professional. Signature cocktails during happy hour were enjoyed by all our guests and we all loved the appetizers and family style dinner. Would definitely recommend Ravishing Radish for any of your events.

I love this place for their outstanding customer service, great food and wonderful staff. Please, do not listen or waste your time reading Ahmad G.'s review. There was not a single person in that place being rude and racist towards him. No one in that place knows how to be racist. Ban Ahmad G. from your establishment.

These ladies are the best! Each and every time we work with them, they knock it out of the park and dazzle us with something beyond creative, delicious and ever so stunning with their presentation. They are worth every cent! Love them.

Ravishing Radish Catering has been used for some of the events I've attended as part of Woodland Park Zoo's Network for Nature member. The food and drinks are always the talk of the town, er, the event whenever Ravishing Radish Catering has catered. The variety of food is always solid, as there's enough for people to choose from, no matter their dietary restrictions.

At one event, they served different flatbreads, fresh fruit, artisan cheeses, nuts, etc. It's finder food, which is easy to eat, especially when attending an event and walking around to mingle. Plus, the staff is constantly refilling plates, so there's never an empty one. I especially love too that for the events, they make a cocktail, themed to the event where proceeds go to the animal fund we're supporting at the event! Amazing.

I would recommend Ravishing Radish Catering for your event, as they say, the food is what makes the party. The selection of fresh foods, themed cocktails, and friendly catering staff will make for a great event.

RR was great! We received SO many compliments on the food - especially the mashed potatoes and the braised short ribs. We love to support female owned & operated businesses. The service on the night of the event was perfect; the staff was friendly but also discreet. We would absolutely hire them again for a special event!

I would love to be able to give this amazing team more than 5 stars! As a local Wedding Planning company, we work with so many different catering companies, and Ravishing Radish is a fave hands down! Not only is everyone here super friendly, professional, sweet and fun, but their food AND level of service is unmatched. I know that our clients, AND all of their guests will be well taken care of from start to finish!

I have seen first hand in so many instances, how they go above and beyond their own tasks on the wedding day to help others out, solve any problems, etc. From a logistically challenged, wedding literally in the middle of the woods, to a ballroom wedding, they can do it ALL and without any hiccups (that anyone knows about!). We LOVE working with Ravishing Radish and couldn't recommend them enough! They will take the BEST care of their clients down to the last detail.

I hired Ravishing Radish to cater my wedding this past August at Thornewood Castle. I have severe Celiac Disease (no gluten), as well as allergies to dairy, eggs, corn, soy, seasame, quinoa, and coffee, so I was having a really hard time finding a caterer who could make delicious food that I could eat, and that my guests would enjoy. Ravishing Radish did a spectacular job of creating tray passed hors d'oeuvres and an amazing dinner spread that was all GF, dairy free, egg free, and all my allergies free.

We had pork skewers, balsamic vinegar fruit skewers, a walnut and stone fruit salad, fingerling potatoes, wild rice, grilled carrots, asparagus and green beans, delicious herbed chicken with tomatoes atop, and salmon with candied onions on top. All amazing and many guests came up to me to say how the food was wonderful. We had two bars, a champagne toast, and a number of waiters helping out.

The day of the wedding went smoothly and I know this staff and the kitchen did a wonderful job making and serving the food, as well as setting everything up and tearing down exactly to my specifications and this is why they get five stars from me. One word of caution, their packages and rentals can be high priced ($45 to rent a high chair.), and occasionally the woman I worked with over email didn't fully respond to my questions or was quite delayed in answering my emails.

In the end all went well! I would use them again in a heartbeat, I was beyond pleased with the quality of the food and that they had worked with all of my allergies to create an amazing spread.

If I could give Ravishing Radish more than 5 stars, I would. Our first experience with RR was as a wedding guest right after we got engaged. As soon as we tasted the food, I grabbed one of the waiters (sorry, dude) to ask him where he worked, and we booked them the very next weekend. Right from the beginning, they were sooo easy to work with. They were patient with my type A personality and worked around all our dietary needs, even whipping up dino chicken nuggets for all the little ones at our wedding.

We worked with Jesse, who was amazing and took all of the stress out of planning. I'm going to be honest, I don't even know what happened on half of my wedding day because Jesse and her team were so on top of everything that I was able to totally check out and focus on having a great time. Since the wedding, everyone I talked to mentions the great food (from what I hear, one table actually licked their plates). I will be recommending RR to all my friends.

LOVED working with Ravishing Radish. My husband and I had them cater our wedding in March of 2018. We enjoyed the entire process, thanks to the wonderful team. We also received so many compliments on our food for our wedding (ribs, salmon, mashed potatoes, grilled seasonal veggies, salad). We would highly recommend them!

We loved Ravishing Radish! They catered our wedding in September. I can't say enough good things about Annalee, she was so wonderful and accommodating. We had some last minute guest additions with dietary restrictions (sigh. thanks fam.), and Annalee worked with the chef to make last minute adjustments--which she did not need to do. She was responsive, professional, and thought of every little detail that we failed to think of.

Our guests really loved all the food the day of the wedding. The braised beef short ribs were tender, a true feat when serving 150 people. The mac and cheese was also delicious, and our vegetarian and gluten free friends really enjoyed their meal too. I think everyone raved the most about the appetizers. We did the grilled cheese shooters and the button mushrooms. Guests still talk about those!

I really appreciated that they brought some appetizers up to my husband and I while we were signing our marriage certificate with some champagne. It can be tough to find a second to eat during a wedding as the bride and groom, and it was so sweet that they took care of us. They also did bar services for us. They allowed us to provide our own alcohol--big cost saver for us--and we used their bar tenders. The bar tenders were wonderful! So friendly and very fast. They quickly learned to make my husband and I's signature drinks, which everyone loved. Seriously five stars!

One of our top priorities for our wedding was delicious food. We wanted a stand out cocktail hour and a family style dinner and Ravishing Radish knocked it out of the park. All of our guests kept coming up to us to tell us how amazing the food was throughout the whole night. A few of our favorite items: grilled cheese & tomato soup shooters, fried chicken & waffle canape, potstickers and the short ribs entree.

I should also mention my husband and I were tough customers - we were planning from out of town, we were extremely particular with the menu, the flow of the entire night and especially the open bar - not to mention I'm originally from the East Coast, a bit of a control freak and I email at a mile a minutee. Annalee from Radish kept up with me and DELIVERED!

Thank you Annalee for dealing with us & executing perfectly. We even worked with the owner, Lisbet, on a few pieces and she was excellent. Both ladies were on site and while I was nervous about the night going into it, I ended up not having to think about a single thing that day - Radish had it ALL covered. Excellent food & excellent service. Thank you Annalee, Lisbet & the whole Ravishing Radish team!

My now husband, and I, could never have imagined a better catering company to cater our wedding. We were an out-of-town couple, planning a Seattle wedding from Denver. My parents went to a venue open house and met Annalee and immediately knew we wanted to work with her. Not only were the food samplings amazing, but the customer service was above and beyond and continued to be throughout the entire process. Annalee and her team helped us to design the ideal menu, including gluten free and vegetarian meals for certain guests.

I can't tell you the number of guests who told us our food was the best food they had ever had at a wedding (the short ribs were a HUGE hit!). Prior to the ceremony, I asked a few members of the Ravishing Radish staff if they had a mint or piece of gum with them. Unfortunately, they did not, so I went upstairs in our venue to get ready for the big walk down the aisle.

Less than 5 minutes later, a member of the Ravishing Radish team served me (and my husband.just in case!) a mint on a platter. I was so appreciative and couldn't believe someone had gone to find me a mint.and delivered it on a silver platter! Throughout the entire evening, the staff kept everything running smoothly. From the food service, to help with passed champagne I requested, to the clean up, and general kindness to all guests.

I would say they are truly the best option when it comes to Seattle catering. My parents have hired many caterers in the Seattle area for their business - and they agreed. Ravishing Radish is top notch. If you're lucky enough to work with Annalee, you will be completely at ease as she is very knowledgeable about all things wedding related and she is able to walk you through every detail of the day.

Thank you to the entire Ravishing Radish team for making our wedding the most amazing day of our lives! We so appreciate all the hard work you put into making our day so perfect.

Ravishing Radish did a knock out job for my son's 85 person wedding rehearsal dinner at 415 Westlake. We were able to attend a group tasting 4 months before our event and hand pick our menu items from their very extensive offerings. Each of the representatives I work with was very professional, prompt, and clear in our communication which was done primarily by email.

Their linens were beautiful and service ware was beautiful as well. Their team was very prompt with delivery and set up as we were working with an 8 hour time frame. The serving staff present for the actual event was efficient, professional well managed and very easy to work with. There were plenty of servers to keep the event moving. The food was delicious, exactly what we had ordered and the presentation was beautiful. Can't say enough about how great this experience was! Beverly Cramer

Best southern breakfast I have ever had.and I'm from the south. The cheese grits were creamy and decadent, the hoppin' John was spectacular! The biscuits were dense but delicate, aromatic and a perfect compliment to the milk gravy. The staff was attentive, polite and cheery.

I was able to try their catering for a friend's wedding--it was really good! We had the below: Salad: Nice and light Salmon: Out of everything, this was what I liked least. Maybe it had too American of a flavor? It was a bit dry. Beef: This was outstanding, so tasty, moist, and delicious! Carrots: Perfectly paired Bread pudding: I'm not supposed to eat gluten buuut I love bread pudding and even moreso when it's savory.

I think it had onion chunks in it but it just added to the texture and did not overpower the flavor of the bread. How did they do that!? I loved this even more than the dessert "Nothing Bundt Cakes" and I am a HUGE NBC fan! I would def recommend this venue for wedding catering or any other event!
