Rustic Root Catering

Corey and Jessica are amazing. Lets just start there. My husband and I got married in Cle Elum last month and Rustic Root hosted our rehearsal dinner in their killer space behind the Roslyn Café. The service was incredible and super personable, the lighting was beautiful, the food was very impressive, AND they «carved» our initials into a rustic saw on the wall. The Sunday following the wedding, Rustic Root catered our after party and set up an awesome taco bar on site. Corey was super punctual, the food was amazing, and he set up and broke down everything so that we could just enjoy ourselves. We would hire them again any day… as a matter of fact, we might come up with an excuse to travel back to Roslyn JUST to hire them again. :)

The short version: Jessica and Rustic Root are professional, tasty, and a great fit for any event.
The long version:
I originally found Jessica through good ol’ Google. As a Seattle resident getting married in Cle Elum, I was looking for a caterer that could provide amazing food for my wedding without an insane, «we-​traveled-​from-​Seattle» price tag. I looked up Jessica’s menu and website, and my fiancé and I found ourselves more and more excited with each menu item. We decided we had to set up a time to meet.
At our initial consultation at the Roslyn Café (which Jessica and her husband also own– now an essential stop whenever we are in the Cle Elum area), Jessica’s professionalism became ever-​apparent. She sat down with us, our families, and our wedding planner, and meticulously noted our conversation about our likes, dislikes, and wishes in a wedding menu. She served us some amazing food, and we were certain, upon first bite, that our search for a caterer was over. Seriously– the food is absolutely amazing. Plus, Jessica was incredibly receptive to feedback (like to make meatballs smaller, etc.).
We had a few more consults, including a site check, on the way to the wedding. Jessica is incredibly experienced in this field, and has a strong team. She also has a fully functioning trailer kitchen, so didn’t even need to use the kitchen at our venue– a huge plus.
My wedding guests were beyond pleased with the delicious food served at our wedding (in fact, not a drop was left over, and not due to lack of food!). Jessica’s flavorful food, paired with her great service, made her the perfect caterer for our event. Definitely use Rustic Root if you are in the area, and stop by the Roslyn Café if you need a great meal in central Washington!

Amazing food. I had a 5 day event hosted in Cle Elum, and Rustic Root Catering was phenomenal. We had 40 people in our group, and all dinners and breakfasts were done by Rustic Root, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. All the people in my group were really happy with the food. I hate to say this, but coming from Bellevue, I was a bit skeptical about using a small town catering company for my executive offsite. I was completely surprised. Much better food than the average hotel catering! (usually we do events as Westin, or Hyatt so, not low quality). I highly recommend them. Interestingly, the owner of the catering company also owns the Roslyn Café — so check that out for a sneak peak :)
