Claeys Catering Inc.

Claeys Catering did a wonderful job for our wedding. They are reasonably priced (far more reasonable than many of the other vendors we checked out) and the food is delicious. They were extremely flexible concerning the menu we wanted to create (Asian/NW influence with yakisoba, teriyaki chicken and cedar plank salmon) and the additional help we needed with the venue. The venue we selected did not have an on-site coordinator for the day of the wedding, so Claeys stepped in and helped us with everything from setting up to opening the doors for my entrance into the ceremony. They also gave us an enormous basket of yummy food, cake and a bottle of champagne and sparkling cider for the hotel. If not for this I really wouldn't have been able to appreciate the amazing food they prepared-I barely ate anything that day and I was starving by the end of the night. I really can't say enough to recommend them. Every person on their staff was friendly, helpful, and made it their business to have our day go smoothly.

I would recommend Claeys Catering to anyone looking for food service regardless of the event. It's family owned, and Jim and Nathan are two of the easiest people I've ever worked with. The prices are good, the service is excellent, and the food is amazing!

Claey's was amazing. Don't be put off by their modest headquarters in North Plains- they make delicious food and are very classy, helpful, and professional. We got married at the World Forestry Center in Portland and they were very familiar with the venue and helped us with our table layout, even dealing with our picky demands about turning the room over. All our guests loved the food (we had the chicken, hazelnut salad, and mushroom risotto-yum!) and remarked that the staff was really nice and helpful. They even took the initiative to use a few of our extra decorations to make a little display in front of our head table which would have looked really boring without it. They were really easy to work with and a great value!

We "found" Claeys Catering via the reception hall where the reception was going to be held. They were one of the few "approved" caterers for that venue.

We used Claeys Catering for both the rehearsal dinner (70 guests) and the wedding (250 guests). The professionalism, quality of service, variety of food for an incredible value totally exceeded our expectations. The guests' response to the food at both events was overwhelmingly positive.

We would use them again without question!

I had an excellent time working with Claey's! They were always prompt in their communications with me and they were extremely flexible in the service they provided. They were also the best deal I found when I shopped around for caterers. I highly recommend them!

It was a pleasure working with Claeys Catering. They were readily available to answer all questions/concerns that I had prior to the wedding. The staff at the wedding was professional and performed their tasks without disrupting the reception. The food was amazing and plentiful! The buffet lines went quickly and was always restocked with food before anything ran out. It was nice that most of the left over food was boxed by the staff. The rest was left so people could snack for the remainder of the reception. I would definitely use them again!

Claeys was great! We were able to taste our full menu before the event so that we were able to choose exactly what we wanted. They were very easy to work with and the food was wonderful!

The absolute BEST food you will find!!! Amazing! Highly, highly recommend them to anyone!

We felt we got so much for our money in terms of the amount of food, quality, flavor, and service, they even took care of the left overs. Everybody was so satisfied with our family-style dinner.

Nathan was our primary contact person for the catering and he was so down to earth about everything... shocked at what a great value it was compared to the other catering companies I looked at. And the food was fabulous to boot! People kept commenting how much they enjoyed it. Very responsive to all my questions (and even responsive and flexible with dietary needs). Choose them!

Working with Claey's was an amazing experience, the food was wonderful. I had so many people at my wedding tell me that, "this was the best wedding food they have ever had!" I will use them and recommend them to anyone that needs catering. You will not be disappointed, they are willing to work with you and your budget and have so much food to choose from. I seriously have no complaints about Claey's.

Finding a caterer was a nightmare for us. We required a gluten free menu due to allergies in the family and it could not contain anything with peanuts, for the same reason. We also wanted a buffet style dinner. When I emailed various vendors I was shocked when they would send back a menu for me that either only contained one side item that was gluten free or none at all. This was NOT the case with Claey's Catering. The menu they sent back had everything we required! This was the reason we opted to go do a tasting with them.
The evening of the tasting we arrived to find a table set up for us. It was so much fun. We sat and talked about what we would like and about the space that we were renting. This made it feel very personal and Mr. Claey really seemed to listen to our concerns and had answers for all our questions. When he brought out the food for us to taste it was delicious! Our family member with the gluten allergy was able to eat everything that was served to us! She was also amazed at how delicious everything was. We signed our contract and made our down payment that night!
Working with Claey's Catering up until the wedding was also a great experience. My husband wanted local beer and they were able to get just what he requested. They were very quick with email or phone responses when we had questions and were always very pleasant to deal with.
The day of the wedding they showed up on time and I didn't have to worry about anything with their portion of the event. The serving staff were very polite and looked professional. The food tasted just as good the day of the event as it had the day of our tasting. We even got to take home tons of left over food! I think we fed our family that was still in town and the neighbors, the next day!
Even now I still get comments from our friends and family about how good the food was. Even one of my very picky relatives said it was some of the best wedding food he had ever had! I highly recommend booking them for an event. You won't go wrong.

The customer service is astounding and very quick to respond to phone calls and emails. Food was phenomenal at a great price for what you get. I would definitely recommend Claeys for any catering event.

These guys are the RITZ!!!!! Best Food in Town! Can not be beat!

Wonderfully flexible and fantastic food. Nathan at Claey's was an absolute Godsend. The food was delicious- our guests are still complimenting the dinner! They fit it all in our budget, and the service at the wedding itself was great. They even lit all the candles in my centerpieces before the ceremony and helped us pack them up at the end of the night!

Wonderful staff, wonderful food. Our event was fabulous due to the unique touches that Claey's brought to the 'table'. :)
