Can you say Delicious and kind ? Snuffin's was definitly both and sooo much more. We could not have asked for a better catering company on our wedding day. I will Start by saying Austin was the coolest!! After meeting her for the first time we knew she was someone we wanted apart of our wedding. She is super personable and quick to respond when we had questions. She made sure we had every single thing we needed and never challenged us when we changed the menu a million times ahah. The food was 10/10 ! Our guests were going back for more and said it was some of the best food they have ever

My wife and I had such an amazing experience with Snuffins. The food was so tasty and the staff was so kind. We had the chance to work with Austin, and she was the absolute best! So glad she was there on our wedding day... Thank you so much Snuffins for taking care of our guest and us!

Catered our wedding for about 200 people! The food & staff were absolutely wonderful! Very on top of things- even down to the folded napkins! 😂 Thank you, Annie!
They also have a meal ready for you after the ceremony- when you’re signing the marriage certificate! Not to mention send you off with a basket of food to eat afterwards!!!

It is no wonder why Snuffins has been in business so long. We own a venue and many of our clients use Snuffins to cater their events, they have never disappointed. They are professional, on time and thier food is amazing. We love the attention they give to the details. We have had many happy brides because of Snuffins and we are very grateful to them for providing such great service. Thank you Snuffins, we are always happy when our clients choose you to cater.

Snuffing catered a retirement party for my husband at Wet Coast Brewery. We had approximately 80 family and friends. Cherie Earnheart did an incredible job. Everyone commented how excellent all the appetizers were, there was tons,of food, all the trays were always replenished and they cleaned up to perfection. Thank you to Cherie and Hailey you made a happy celebration perfect!

They catered our backyard wedding and were absolutely amazing. The food was incredible, and the staff went out of their way to help even with things that I wouldn't have expected - like finding flowers to decorate our cake when the florist ditched us to run off because she double-booked herself. We had a minor issue when the tent we thought we had reserved with them did not turn up on our reservation while going over it 1 month before the event. But their customer service was great and they took care of it immediately. These are the people you want to cater your event.

Annie was our coordinator at Snuffin's for our daughter's wedding. She was very thorough in making sure we knew exactly how everything was going to work. They were on time, and the food was exactly how we planned and it was delicious. Before engaging Snuffin's, I was concerned that I'd have to "direct" the process and not be able to enjoy the reception. Nope! They did it all. The servers were great, the bartenders were great. We got quite a few compliments on the food and the staff. I highly recommend Snuffin's.

These guys crushed the catering at our wedding.
One of my biggest fears is that I was going to have to spend all day giving vendors direction and not get to enjoy my own wedding. But I was prepared to do so if it meant everyone had a good time.
From the time I showed up at the wedding venue, 10 minutes early, the folks from Snuffins were waiting in a van in idle mode. We went into the venue and my first piece of advice would be "we'll probably want to get the beverages cold as quickly as possible". Their van door slid open and they had a giant bucket of ice---it's like they read my mind. I knew

We worked with them for awhile but I decided to go with a different company as I was concerned they would not do a good job for us. My event was not large enough to matter and that became very clear.
A friend of mine who was an event planner recommended I use them but after I communicated to her the LACK of communication I was receiving from Snuffins she said walk away. She was appalled how unprofessional they were and said the company was not like this when she used to work with them. Change of management?
Lesson learned from this is if they don't seem happy to have your business then

Snuffins Catering is a very good catering company. They were easy to communicate with and friendly. Their food was great and every aspect of the Wedding food service was fine. Bartender was awesome and the wait staff attentive. We had a very small wedding of about 60 people. If you don't meet their minimum the prices are higher. With a small number of people they don't make as much money and I felt like they were less than happy that they weren't making a huge sale. But again, friendly enough. My issue is with the " tip suggestion" from Snuffins. It reads as follows

We worked directly with Jennifer. We came in after having an overwhelming experience with the other caterer we had done a tasting with. I was naive going into the whole catering thing and actually even put down a deposit with the other catering company but we weren't please with our experience or the price so we started searching for another option. I grew up in Gig Harbor, so using a catering company from my home town had a special meaning. Getting my first quote from Jennifer/Snuffins gave me a similar feeling as the first catering company, that I was still over my head with how much it

We used Snuffins for our wedding at Historic 1625. From our initial meeting to the wedding itself, the entire process was amazing.
Food and Drinks: We did a layered dip as an appetizer and a taco bar buffet for the main course. It was hot and delicious. We were able to buy our own alcohol and have them serve it (major plus!).
Service: Wonderful! The head server carried our plates to our table so we wouldn't spill.
Planning: Annie is so knowledgeable and flexible. I changed my mind so many times and she was so patient and kind throughout.

We used Snuffin's for a large party we had at our house. They were very responsive, efficient, the food exceeded our expectations! We had platters made and we picked them up. They were decorated and well presented. All we had to do was take off the wrapping. We had many compliments on the quality of their food. The grilled veggies, chicken skewers, barbecue pork and the Thai pasta noodles were our favorites! We would definitely use them again!

Catering south of Seattle can be such a nightmare. Not so with Snuffin's. We've used them for a number of years for formal occasions and beef tenderloin at Christmas time. We used them again this year for my mothers wedding and everything was a breeze: from passed apps to a plated salad and formal buffet, Snuffin's was well-prepared, timely, and elegant. Would hugely recommend to anyone seeking quality catering.

I cannot believe that I did not yelp this amazing company yet! Snuffin's catered my daughter's wedding on May 13, 2017 and WOW!!! The food was amazing as well as the service. We were treated so kindly and every promise was delivered. Grilled cheese and tomato soup at 10:00 after dinner served...no problem! Clean tables, professional staff and a contact person (Annie) who delivers on every promise...no problem! It's a once in a lifetime night...Snuffin's is the way to go!!!

Snuffin's Catering did an incredible job at our wedding! I got so much feedback from everyone that the food was amazing! We had three action stations for dinner and an ice cream station to go along with our other desserts. We got the noodle station, the slider station, and the tuscan vegetable station. All very delicious! For apps, we had the blackberry/brie tart, sun-dried tomato tart, and smoked salmon/cucumber bites. These were amazing! I thought maybe having two tarts was going to be strange, but they were so different in flavor, that it turned out great. We were both very impressed

Snuffin's is an AMAZING catering option for your wedding. After our initial meeting with Jennifer, we were sold. Jennifer is absolutely wonderful, a straight shooter (which I so appreciate), and has a wealth of knowledge...especially when it comes to local vendors. But let's get to the food...
The food is perfection. I've never been to a wedding where so many guests comment about the food - it really was a huge hit! The extra special thing about Snuffin's is that they put together a to-go basket for the bride and groom to enjoy once they are back at their hotel...it's fantastic!

Wow! I just can't say enough good things about Snuffin's. They catered our wedding this July, which took place in our home. We had about 60 people, and the space the staff had to work in was small. They were so gracious, from the awesome bartender Nick to our event captain Megan and our servers. The food was delicious (the bacon-wrapped tots can't be beat and the salmon fillets were moist and tender). The planning phase was excellent as well. Sharon came to my home for the site review and made some really good suggestions to help us with transitions and fitting everyone in. Thanks

Snuffin's Catering and Jennifer Jack were amazing! As two busy professionals trying to balance work, family, self-care, moving and yes, a wedding, we could not have done it without them. Jennifer lead us through the key decisions in one meeting, took responsibility for tent coordination, and then brought great food. At the wedding, the staff partnered with our friends who were acting as wedding planners for a seamless event. Finally, it all came in on budget. I would highly recommend Snuffin's.

I cannot begin to express the gratitude of snuffins from day one to the big day.
My fiancé and I met Jennifer for our first consultation and delicious appetizers. We chose our plates, colors, and an initial menu. Very easy process and so many options to choose from. Payments were convenient and each time we dropped a check off the staff greeted us warmly.
Three weeks before our big day we were invited to a fall menu tasting and when my fiancé decided on a different menu than the initial one, changing the menu was extremely easy.

I contacted Snuffin's to inquire about catering for our wedding. When I called, I spoke with a woman named Lisa, and I told her that I wanted to order a meat dish only for 50 people, and that we planned to do the side dishes on our own. Logistically, it is easier for us if we have the entree catered, I told her, and that we planned to pick up the food ourselves. Lisa asked the date, and when I told her, she told me that they were available. So far, so good.
Lisa then asked me what I wanted for the entree. I told her that we were looking for roast chicken quarters "or something like that
