Scooter’s Custom Catering

We used Scooter’s Custom Catering to cater a funeral reception and could not have had a better experience. We needed hors d’oeuvres to accommodate 400 anticipated guests and even with 600 actually attending there was plenty of good quality meats, cheeses, fruits, veggies, dips, hummus, and rolls for everyone. The thing with funerals is that there is never enough time to plan properly, but Scooter’s made everything happen in a breeze. They accommodated our need for dual displays (food in two separate rooms) and vegan options with ease. Their rates are reasonable and the service is exceptional. Additionally, the entire team was both friendly and professional. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

We went with Scooter’s Customer Catering based on a recommendation from our venue Rein Fire Ranch. Cindy, Scooter and Mike were great to work with and were able to take our idea «things on sticks» (appetizers vs. dinner) and put together a menu that people are still talking about a week later. Our wedding was pretty casual, hoping more for everyone to have a good time and be comfortable, and the food helped make the environment happen.
We ended up with a total of 8 different appetizers, plus cheese and fruits — and every single one that I had was delicious. Multiple people went back through the line again since the food was so good — and every single comment I got was extremely positive.
Scooter’s is a three man team and because they are amazing, they are blowing up a bit and are pretty busy. Cindy is very good at following up, but it may be a little longer than within 15 minutes (which is really okay.) Trust me — their team was responsive, worked around my work hours and ensured that everything was perfect for our wedding day.

Scooters Custom Catering goes above and beyond!!! I got married March 15, 2014 and Scooters did more than I could have ever imagined. From the day I met Cindy (At the Tacoma bridal show in 2013) their professionalism and service was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend!
We went with an Italian type menu and got raving reviews from guests. 5 cheese macaroni w/​balsamic vinaigrette topping, blackened salmon pasta, penne pasta w/​red sauce, meatballs, mild/​hot sausage with peppers, assorted breads and focaccias, and ceasar salad. Every single dish they prepared was mouth wateringly amazing!
I met with Scooter & staff on multiple occasions, tastings, venue walk through, rehearsal run through, you name it. If i wanted them there, they showed up with huge smiles and not a question more! Cindy even went above and beyond and wrapped all of our silverware in the napkins I provided (at no additional cost!). Their email and phone correspondence was absolutely up to par as well.
I heard that there was a family at our wedding that had been on the go all day and had hungry kids (before the buffet was ready to open) and that Scooters was more than accommodating to their needs!
Again, I can’t even begin to tell how amazing working with Scooters was. I highly recommend them and if we are ever in need of a caterer again — they will be our choice!!! **They even got us a really sweet wedding gift!!!**

Scooter’s Custom Catering catered our wedding last weekend, and I cannot say enough good things about them! Scooter and Cindy were easy to work with and their professionalism and experience really helped us as we were making decisions about what to have at our wedding. They provided not only the food and service, but also most of the items required for the set up at our venue (tent, tables, chairs, plates…). Everything turned out perfectly and they were well prepared. People came up to us after the wedding to tell us that Scooter’s food was great and like nothing they had ever had at a wedding before. Scooter, Cindy and their entire staff were very friendly. I would definitely recommend them!

We used Scooters to cater our wedding this past weekend and everything was perfect. The food was amazing, and we ended up having extra to bring home and have a party the next day. The wait staff seemed to do a great job (I was so busy the whole time I never even made it up to the bar) but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I worked with Cindy to set everything up and she was so flexible with my dad and I– she probably changed our proposal a million times without ever complaining or being short with us. During the tasting, Scooter makes enough food for you to take with you and try again the next day to make sure you really like his cooking. Michael came to the wedding and cut the brisket– he was so sweet and talked with the guests to make sure they enjoyed their food and talked to my dad to make sure he was happy. At the end of the evening he talked with my husband and I to make sure we were happy as well. Overall I am so happy we decided to use this caterer and would highly recommend this business to anyone who is looking for outstanding BBQ!

We hired Scooters Custom Catering for our wedding and could not have been happier that we did. A big part of the reason we hired Scooter’s was because they were one of the very few catering companies that would roast a pig for our wedding without contracting out. We went in for tasting and Scooter prepared pig for us try in several variations, plain, with sauces on the side or with sauces cooked on.
Once we signed the contract the exceptional levels of customer service did not change. As we got closer to the wedding we had more contact with Scooter and his team. We don’t have an exact count, but we would say Scooter was out at our venue (a private residence) 4 or 5 times prior to the wedding. He found out where we wanted things to be setup and worked with the rental company that we had selected to get all the tables, dishes, silverware, etc.
Anything that we asked them to do for us was met with a «sure we can do that» answer. We set up one of our tables how we wanted, and they did the rest. Scooter’s team set up all of our tables exactly like the demo. Not only did they set up the tables prior to the wedding, they were also willing to help us out by moving all the chairs from the ceremony area to the reception area so the wedding party or guests didn’t have to. Scooter’s team did a lot of work behind the scene, they were always there when needed, but otherwise went unnoticed.
A final great thing about Scooter was that he had integrity. He was a man of his word, if there were charges on a quote that should not have been on there, he would go through his notes and make adjustments to the quotes so that they matched with what we were told during our discussions.
Scooter’s is a small business and you definitely get the small business feel. By that I mean that your business truly is important to them, and they are willing to do what it takes to make your experience enjoyable. We would recommend Scooter’s to anyone who needs a caterer for an event, big or small.

Scooter’s catered our recent wedding and did a fantastic job. The food was delicious and received multiple compliments. The family style service was perfect for our small wedding and they handled all the details with minimal intervention from me. Day of service was helpful but unobtrusive, and it was great how Scooter himself announced the dishes in great detail. They truly allowed me to relax and just worry about getting myself ready instead of panicking over setup.
