3 Best Caterers in Portland, OR

We are so glad we chose White Pepper as our wedding caterer! Their PNW-inspired menu was a hit—our guests raved about the food (unsolicited compliments galore!) and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. From the gorgeous charcuterie during cocktail hour to the delicious family-style dinner and the cookies that disappeared in minutes, every dish was spot on. From the very beginning, we felt the warmth of how they run their business—our tasting had a family feel, and that care extended through the entire process. Jenny, our main point of contact, was incredibly patient, communicative, and supportive of our particular vision. They even sent us home with leftovers, which we enjoyed the next day on a post-wedding picnic—still just as tasty! We truly can’t say enough good things. Highly recommend.

Our experience with White Pepper was outstanding from start to finish. The process began with a tasting months ago, and their team impressed us with their organization, efficiency, and transparency. They carefully reviewed and cross-checked all venue and vendor rentals or contracts, catching errors and ensuring everything was perfect. The food at our wedding reception was exceptional, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. Despite the extreme heat, the staff delivered top-notch service to 150 guests with professionalism. We deeply appreciate all the hard work and attention to detail from the team. Thank you for making our event unforgettable.

We worked with White Pepper catering for our October 2023 wedding. They were great to work with and helped us develop a delicious and filling vegetarian menu that our non-veg guests were thrilled with. Their staff were helpful and kind in the lead-up to the event, and the on-site staff were lovely and helpful as well. The food was delicious, beautiful, and locally sourced. We were well fed and left with tons of leftovers. It couldn't have been better.

We had a graduation lunch for 160 people and were extremely pleased with every aspect of our experience with Elephants! We worked with Jenette, who helped with ensure our menu choices met the needs of our guests. We ordered both snacks and lunch to be delivered to a site we were renting, and they did a completely wonderful job from set-up to clean-up. The food was amazing and they boxed up our leftovers for us to deliver to a local ministry.

I have ordered several gift baskets and I’ve been so pleased with the thoughtful help I’ve received, sometimes adapting to a persons likes or needs. The staff is extraordinary.

Delicious food, beautiful presentation, reasonable prices, great people to work with! Everything was great quality and so fresh! I've worked with Elephants on two events now, and have been really pleased.
