Hi, Heather! We had a wonderful event! Everything came together and was a huge success — thank you, to the entire Ravishing Radish Catering crew! Every member of the staff at the event (bartenders, servers, catering/cooks) was great to work with, polite, professional, and personable.

The food was fabulous and beautifully presented. In preparation for the event, both you and Vickie were fantastic — enthusiastic and supportive of our ideas/goals for the event, quick to respond, and alleviated a lot of potential stress by being precise and organized. I thoroughly enjoyed working with everyone and look forward to using Ravishing Radish for another Hines event.
Kind regards,
Johanna

I want to take a moment to thank you and your team (especially Heather and Lindsey) for all of your work and flexibility and graciousness on Saturday’s Clifton Anniversary event. Having been involved on both sides of many events, I know that this one had a handful of challengin elements — and you were all fabulous.

October, 2010

Just wanted to say thanks so much to you and your wonderful staff for all your help with our party on Saturday. The food was fabulous, and the service was great — I will be calling you again!

September, 2010

Thank you for everything you and everyone at Ravishing Radish did to make Laura and Drew’s wedding perfect! The food was the best I’ve ever had at a catered event — as I knew it would be from the time we sampled your menu at the tasting last October. More important, our guests agree.

I particularlyappreciated your responsiveness and atention to detail, from the signature cocktails to JoAnna’s signature Philly cheese steaks. What a treat! You helped us turn our ideas into wonderful memories. We had such fun — thanks to you. Thanks you for working so closely with us to give Laura and Drew the wedding of their dreams.

I am so pleased with how the Groom’s dinner went. The food was fantastic. Every single item, from the lemonade to the strawberry shortcake surpassed my expectations, which were high. Guests loved the bourbon whipped cream, the halibut, orzo, veggies, well just everything. You paid attention to details and quality and the food reflected that care.

Your staff were professional, communicative, and really just perfect. Please extend my appreciation to them for a professionally and warmly done evening. Did you also make the sun come out that afternoon? Many thanks. I can’t imagine a more perfect evening.

August, 2010

Everyone raved about the food and lovely service, and asked for contact information…so I’d say it was successful. Kristen and Ben enjoyed themselves thoroughly, they were a little dreamy-eyed all evening. We were all very grateful for the boxed treats in the refrigerator. Thank you.

Please express to Jennifer and Team how much we appreciated their unobtrusive, organized and stylish service…we’ll do it again. (Minus the downstairs bathroom disaster!) I hope to see you soon…hopefully we don’t have to wait for another event.

August, 2010

Hey guys…I simply cannot THANK YOU ALL enough for the magical evening here at our house…you guys did everything I asked, and more…all the food, all the staff, just ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING was PERFECT…and all your “Radishes” — i.e., all your people were so fun, so nice, so helpful, just so great. 
 
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU so much for making our evening so special, so charming, just so “magical.”
 
And yes, I will be using you guys DEFINITELY in the future…and only you guys.  I just LOVED you all…and you guys stayed with me to the end, and I know it was late — so again, THANK YOU so much.  

July, 2010

I too want to thank all of you. Rarely can you use the word ‘perfect’ but this is one of those times. It really was ALL perfect. The venue, food and service all as you would hope it to be. I noticed that the flank steak looked and tasted like a sirloin steak. Thank you for that too. Needlesss to say I would recommend this experience to anyone. It was wonderful.

June, 2010

Thank you, thank you! for such a wonderful and memorable party last Sunday. Everything was absolutely perfect. My mom was surprised, the sun was shining, all your staff was so “on it,” friendly and responsive. The food was spectacular! And that cake! OMG, the cake was just flawless, moist, flavorful and scrumptious. I’m so glad we didn’t go with a 3rd party baker!
 
Everyone had such a wonderful time and was so complimentary about the event — all aspects of it. Heather, thank you so so much for all your counsel, care and attention to detail. We really appreciated your efforts to keep our costs reasonable without skimping on the finished product.
 
We are Ravishing Radish fans! If you would like a quote or testimonial for your marketing materials, website, etc., don’t hesitate to ask. I’m in marketing and I’m happy to do it. Thanks again, you guys rock!

June, 2010

Thank you so much for providing the catering for my son’s bar mitzvah. Everything worked out great (well, the weather could have been warmer — but it didn’t rain!). You and your staff did a wonderful job.  The service was efficient and gracious — exactly what I was hoping for at a party here in my home.
 
I received MANY compliments (to be forwarded to you!) regarding the food. It was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. In fact, I just finished a bit of salmon for lunch! Usually, I would add something that could use improvement or that I would do differently, but I honestly cannot think of anything. Oh, on a side note — in addition to the cupcakes and M&M/Pocky for kids, we offered a s’mores station around our firepit (we moved it to the lower lawn). It was a huge hit later in the evening. Thanks again!

I just got back from Spring Break and have been wanting to send this all the while.I want you to know how much we enjoyed working with you at RR. Everyone from our guests, to our employees, to the wine makers themselves, were complementing the service. The food was tasty and on the mark, and Angie and Heather were delightful. I’m thinking I’ll have to throw another gathering just to get to party with them again. As a result, I’ve passed your name onto several individuals who have requested. Keep up all the good stuff!

April, 2010

Your staff and food exceeded expectations. Your staff was professional, flexible, personable, hard working and took good care of us. As you might have heard, the upstairs kitchen door was locked and we didn’t have a key. So they moved it all downstairs and had to haul everything up and down the outside stairs. I love the menu we chose, and am still eating mashed potatoes, they are so good.

We had a lovely evening, it was a good time of relationship building, and a time of healing as well. It was an important event on many levels, not to mention a really fun time. Thank you for all you and your staff did to facilitate our evening. You are on the top of my list if anyone asks me for a recommendation for a caterer.

February, 2010

Our almost-vegan menu, from Ravishing Radish. They were great to work with and went above and beyond at the wedding itself. (We included pork for meat-and-potato types, some of whom were convinced the pasta wasn’t vegan. I’m not the vegan of the pair, so I did enjoy the pork also).

We wanted to extend out special thank you for helping create a lovely wedding celebration for Emily & Ryan. Your hard work was much appreciated, and we enjoyed working with you, as always! The day was beautiful, in part to your dedication and team work! Here’s to many more wonderful events!

July, 2009

Please let me tell you how wonderful everything was. The setting was beautiful and romantic, and the food was beyond delicious. Even the nonadventurous eaters loved the pineapple basil sorbet. The servers were fantastic; Nick in particular was so helpful, sharing his jazzy music with us. And flowers too! So sweet of you to let us use them. Matt and Rina really loved the evening. The big room was very useful, as we had the wedding rehearsal right there. Everyone had a great time. Your suggestions were exactly right, and your help was greatly appreciated. You really made it easy for me. Having hosted a rehearsal dinner in January at a restaurant, I have to say that my experience with you was by far superior.

We did have some Seattle-ites there, some thinking about marriage, one with a daughter thinking about marriage. I highly recommended you and hope you have continued well-deserved success.

June, 2009

First we want to thank you for the lovely bottle of wine we received. What a lovely gift and such a nice surprise at the end of a very hectic day! Secondly, I want to compliment you in particular for doing such an outstanding job from the beginning and taking such a high level of ownership. Our event was a huge success due to your level of commitment, especially with the unexpected change in location yesterday. Finally, I want to compliment Junko and the staff. They were highly professional and did a remarkable job. Everyone commented on how exceptional the food was and the level of service. Thank you to you, Lisbet and everyone at Ravishing Radish for making our event such a memorable one!

"The backbone of our July ’08 wedding was Ravishing Radish catering. This company was one I remembered from a wedding I attended years ago, and I was very pleased to find them still in business when our time came. While "Radish" may not be the bargain basement cheapest of the catering bunch, the little bit of extra cost is entirely worthwhile in my mind. They were very professional, helped us to choose exactly what we wanted, and they did a great job of actually managing our event on the "day of." We found the quality of the food to be very good, and if you’re still not sure about that, be sure to visit one of their tasting parties. We were also very pleased to discover that the Ravishing Radish chef was able and willing to create lovely vegetarian dishes for half our guests." Read the whole blog post

Carl’s parties were just perfect; he and Pam couldn’t have been happier, so thank you and your awesome team for yet another successful event! It turned out to be a treat for us to sit at a table and experience the Radish and the fantastic food from [a client’s] standpoint!

September 2008

Catering was provided by Ravishing Radish, who provided the best pork ever! Seriously, they provided a fantastic spread. Yum!

Thanks again so much for everything you did to help plan Lauren’s wedding. The food was incredible as always, your staff was super helpful and friendly…and Lauren said it all couldn’t have been more perfect, which is the goal!

I just wanted to touch base and let you know what an outstanding group you had for us at our event on the 19th here at Eileen Fisher in Bellevue. Everything was perfect, the food was fabulous and the staff was wonderful!!! Julia took great care of us. I will pass on your name to others!!! Thank you for such a well-done event.

Once again, we thank you for providing EXCELLENT catering service for Marianne’s wedding! We will recommend you to anyone, and several guests asked for the name of your company. The food and service were fantastic! The Yacht Club was a wonderful setting. We are so very, very grateful to have had you as our caterers

August, 2007

We had a wonderful wedding. Can you please let Junko know what a fabulous job she and her crew did? The food was delicious and the entire staff was so nice and friendly. Our cake had some issues from a long car ride. The fondant was melting off the side, but Junko repaired and made it presentable again with flowers.

They did a wonderful job of helping to clean up at the end of the night. All in all, they didn’t miss a beat. We’re very pleased we chose Ravishing Radish!

Thanks again!
September, 2007

Thank you for doing a fabulous job at our Try On Party!!! The food was wonderful and you received lots of compliments. I really loved the signature drink. And I think I personally ate half the Brie-Yum. Those flowers were SPECTACULAR!!! What a thoughtful thing to do. And your staff is just wonderful…so friendly yet professional. We have really enjoyed working with you and look forward to more in the future.

November, 2007

We have gotten nothing but the nicest compliments for your work — compliments specifically tied to Ravishing Radish. Thank you for doing such an amazing job. Our reception was the reception of our dreams, and we didn’t think that was possible. The room looked awesome, the food was perfect, and your staff was impeccable. We will recommend you to ANYONE looking to put on an event.

I just wanted to send a HUGE thanks to you and your staff for making my wedding day so great. Eric especially went above and beyond all night and also Desiree was extra amazing as well. Please send my warmest regards to your staff.

Thank you so much for all your efforts on Saturday. You and your staff truly exceeded my expectations! Everyone was so good about adapting to the rain and figuring out creative solutions on the fly to make everything work. It was wonderful to be so well supported as plans changed as the day unfolded. Everyone was so impressed by how well you held up in the weather. And of course the food was terrific!

September, 2007

Thank you for helping us create another amazing event! Mako & Booth’s wedding was just what they envisioned and the food and service were just perfect. Their menu was so delicious — the guests especially loved the mac & cheese!

Nick & I especially appreciated the help from Eric and the staff at the end of the night. You guys went above to help us out and we very much appreciated that.

Thank you all—
We look forward to more fun events soon!

I wanted to let you know your team was great. They were so professional, attentive, and the food was delicious. Everyone loved it. The party was held at the home of one of our executives and he raved about the food and service as well. A big compliment coming from him.

I wanted to thank you!! We had a GREAT time, the venue was perfect and the food was amazing!! Everyone has said it was the best party EVER!

December, 2007

The party was awesome! And I couldn’t have asked for anything better — your staff gave me the best service ever! The flowers nd the presentation were amazing. The food was great. What more can I say?

Thanks to you and your staff, they were the best. I will use you again in the future and recommend your company to everyone.

Thank you so much for making our wedding reception more than we had ever imagined. People are still raving about how delicious the Mexican meal was! Thank you for taking care of all the details.

Thanks for all your great work to make our wedding day great. We received many compliments on the food and the venue. Also thanks for putting up with all of our questions. You were wonderful.

I want to commend your staff…they were not only professional, they remained pleasant and helpful throughout a long evening. Lindsey went above and beyond helping with things we needed that I’m sure were not a requrement of her job. Please pass on the thanks of my family for making a special day!

Thank you for lending your delicious talent to make our reception so remarkable. We had raves about the food — from appetizers to family-style service. It was truly phenomenal!

An enormous thank you is long overdue for the unbelievable job you did at our rehearsal dinner. We had this little dream of a Latin-themed party and you made that dream a reality, and then some. The food was DIVINE, your staff extremely kind and professional, and the whole evening was a huge success. Thank you for all the careful planning and your flexibility. The catering was perfection.
