Tom and his staff at Black Tie Catering are excellent! I am a wedding & event planner, and I know when I recommend this company to clients they are going to get delicious food, professional service, and ultimately be very well taken care of. I look forward to working with Black Tie at many future events!

These wonderful people just catered my brother's wedding. They did an AMAZING job and went way beyond their catering jobs to help us pull it off. They are self-motivated and jumped in to help with whatever they could. Their food was delicious and they served it with a smile. If I could rate them any higher, I would. You CANNOT go wrong with them! Definitely hiring them for all my catering needs!

Catered lunch, sandwiches and pasta salad was very bland. I've heard great things about this catering service so one bad lunch doesn't make them horrible. Hopefully they can improve from this.

Mercadies at Black Tie did my wedding in July 2019 at a private residence on Hayden Lake. She did absolutely amazing and was very organized. They exceeded my expectations and the food was absolutely incredible! All of our guests raved about how delicious both the salmon and chicken were. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend! Our wedding day would not have gone so smoothly if it wasn't for Mercadies and her amazing team at Black Tie.

Black Tie Catering did my wedding at Arbor Crest Wine Cellars in 2018. They were professional, organized, affordable, and the food tasted awesome! Nichole was easy to communicate with and everything went smoothly. Food was warm and delicious. I would highly recommend them.
