Pyramid Catering

I have used Pyramid twice now to cater large, multiple day video shoots. Ben has been extremely accommodating with every last minute change I’ve thrown at him, which is so appreciated. He is always quick to respond to my calls and emails, even after hours. When I had to change a delivery time or location, he did it no problem. He even provided an individual meal every day for someone with food allergies, in addition to food for 15+ hungry crew members. Not to mention, everyone wanted to know where the delicious food was from! :) Besides the great food, the service is top notch. I will continue to use Pyramid for future projects, and would definitely recommend them for your drop-​off catering needs.

I didn’t get a chance to use Pyramid Catering but I called Ben looking for a server for a champagne reception. I figured a catering company would know where to hire help. Well that’s not the case for every catering company but Ben offered to help without charging me a penny despite the busy holiday season and that fact that his company was in the middle of a move! He was so kind and thoughtful. Thank you Ben!

I had Pyramid cater my wedding recently and had a stellar experience with them. Ben was always readily available and flexible with our requests for information and menu changes, and in our meeting with him he spent a lot of time with us going over all of the details and asking questions. This gave us a lot of peace of mind and confidence knowing that he was on top of everything. On the day the staff were all professional and courteous, and went the extra mile to make sure my wife and I were well taken care of. Not to mention the food was great! We got the 1920s buffet and heard a lot of guests talking about how much they love it. My wife fell in love with their crab stuffed mushrooms :-)
I can’t recommend these guys highly enough.

Ben and the whole team made our event night a delicious success! We heard only overwhelmingly positive reviews and comments about the food and service. After the tasting, changes were made and all handled as decided, with no additional work required. The team had to set up three areas, on two floors and it was perfectly arranged.
Our guests were very impressed — and I truly appreciated the positive attitude and excellent service provided by the crew. Everything was beautifully presented and the highest quality.
The food was an overall complete hit!

Pyramid Catering did our daughters wedding in August. Everyone said the food was delicious-​it was. LOVED the appetizers! Ben was great-​and easy –to work with, facilitated all the rentals and everything leading up to the event. Rita– our day of head chef– was so great. In fact all of the staff were really good-​efficient pleasant hard-​working. Everything was exactly as expected as far as the menu that was planned. They boxed up all the leftovers and sent the bride and groom on their way with a to go box of food and cake. They have a great price for great food delivered by wonderful staff!

I found Pyramid on Unilocal,so it seems only right that I report back here on how our event went.
It was, in a word, wonderful.
Let’s start with the planning phase. Ben is the best guide ever when it comes to event planning. He helped us have the party we wanted, while being careful to provide options as well as caveats. He did not impose his wishes, but let us benefit from his years of experience. After we thoroughly discussed every aspect of the party, he provided a planning document – complete with table layout, a menu, beverage estimator, and a schedule of what would happen when on the day of the event. He delivered an entirely reasonable budget that was adjusted as we made changes, and he stayed on budget.
Food: Pyramid holds periodic tastings, but because we were out of town, Ben held a mini-​tasting for us at his kitchen. We wanted the Italian buffet, so the kitchen prepared samples of each dish for us – and each was simply delicious. And here’s the best part: the buffet on the day of the event was just as tasty and delightful as the food we sampled. Each dish had layers of flavors – not over-​seasoned or overbearing, but tasty and interesting.
Servers: our team of Rita, Tasha and Kathryn showed up on time and greeted us with lovely smiles – and they kept those smiles on throughout the evening. They happily obliged our requests and explained what they were doing when I looked confused; they took care with our property as they efficiently situated and laid the tables, as well as when they prepared the food. They served with gracious professionalism; I even heard Kathryn ask a very young guest if she could blend two fruit juices together to create beverage just for him. Everything was cleaned up and picked up at the end of the party; leftovers were stored and labeled; it was all handled to perfection. I was hugging these ladies when they left.
Tent & Rentals: An employee of Abbey Rentals came to see where the tent would be going, and she and Ben worked with us to get the details right. Their team was here to set up the tent – as well as drop off the tables, chairs, plates, etc. – when they said they would. And they just picked everything up, arriving when they promised. Truly, you can’t ask for more!

I hired Pyramid for my wedding 2 weekends ago. I was blown away by the price and quality of the food we had tried throughout the past year at the free tastings the company offered. We also arranged for a private tasting to go over more detailed arrangements of the wedding.
About 2 weeks before the wedding, I began emailing Ben about menu options. I chose a buffet, and then asked for what I wanted in terms of appetizers and entrees. Ben and I emailed back and forth several times about what to serve and we settled on a good selection of food, I thought.
A few days later, Ben sent me what he referred to as the «final work book». What I got was just one page of a bill for the linens and other rental items for the reception. I was not made aware there was to be a menu in the work book, and I didn’t think to mention anything of it, because we had settled everything in the emails a few days before. I emailed Ben again a little later asking for the diagram he had done of my reception hall. He sent me a PDF that contained the diagram and several other things including the menu, which I didn’t plan to look at because I was not told I needed to review it, and I just needed the room layout. I actually thought it was an old file, since he sent me the diagram in January, and I had accidentally deleted it a couple months ago, so I disregarded everything else in the file. Again, it wasn’t clearly brought to my attention that this was the final final work up for my wedding day.
The day of the wedding comes and I come to find that ALL of my three appetizers are NOT what Ben and I had discussed. I find this out AT THE RECEPTION. The event manager showed me the menu she was using, and it turns out that about half of the entrees and sides are also WRONG. Ben and I had discussed salmon, but the kitchen was preparing a cod with olives (something I would never in a million years order). They got the salad, fruit, vegetables, chicken entrée, and three late-​night dishes correct out of 15 menu items total. However, from the comments of the guests, the food that was served was delicious.
Frankly, I would not give even 3 stars had the sevice not been ON POINT. The bartenders and serving staff were FABULOUS and even got a little weird on the dance floor with us. The event manager handled everything with grace and was super accomodating.
After the wedding hubbub died down, my family and I began conversations with Ben about how to correct this GIGANTIC oversight. Ben explained to me that the company does almost 300 events a year and that sometimes, one or two just happen to get screwed up. That is not an encouraging thing to say to someone who pays an exorbitant amount of money for the first meal of their married life. It was conveyed to me that it was partially my fault for the screw up, which offended me. I got the message that I should have reviewed more carefully and brought it to Ben’s attention that I didn’t have a menu to review– when I wasn’t really even aware I was supposed to be looking at one in the first place.
It is common knowledge that the bride has about 23 445 things to do the week or two leading up to the big day– managing all the different vendors, family arrangements, bridesmaids and groomsmen, décor… and the caterer has… their one job– to cater. The food. You pay money and expect things to be done correctly, and it is disheartening to hear when those responsible tell you your day just happened to be the unlucky one that got messed up and they were distracted, and you are partially responsible. Whoops! Sorry…
After some negotiations, Pyramid was willing to refund about 50% for the food that was not correct. Which seemed fair.

We used Pyramid Catering for my daughters wedding on ⁵⁄₃₀. It was not a 5 star event because the food they delivered was not what she spent 7 months planning for!
When the appetizers started coming out we noticed a problem because all 3 appetizer were completely wrong! When we checked the rest of buffet offerings we found the pasta dish, the potato dish and the beef dish were all incorrectly prepared and the fish dish was completely wrong!
On the plus side the buffet chicken dish, the green salad, veggie and fruit salad were all correct and the late evening snacks were all correct and delicious!
The kitchen staff, the servers and bar staff were excellent in all aspects of our event from start to finish!
When we first started taking with Ben about the problems with the food that we ended up with, his comment to my daughter was that he does 250 event a year and sometimes this happens and he was sorry that it happened to her on her special day!
We were able tp reach a reasonable refund accommodation to our satisfaction and without much drama! I only hope that Pyramid Catering and Ben have learned from this BAD experience because we sure have!

We used Pyramid catering for our wedding on ⁵⁄₁₆ and can’t say enough about them and the owner Ben! Everyone at the wedding talked about how amazing the food was! Ben was super flexible and easy to work with. Also, the service and staff at the wedding were outstanding… I highly recommend them!

We used Pyramid for a professional event and graduation reception last night and couldn’t be more pleased. Everything was wonderful. The servers were all great and the food was fantastic. Ben and his staff did everything to make the night easy for me and fun for our guests.

I am a little late in writing this but, my husband and I used Pyramid Catering for our September 2014 wedding. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Pyramid. Ben is by far the best person to work with. Everything tasted amazing and the staff is so professional and polite. I am so happy we worked with them!

Ben and his team were simply the best for our recent wedding reception! We had gotten many MANY quotes before finding Pyramid through Unilocal.Can I just say that the Pyramid quite was less than ¼ the smallest quote we had received before we found them? AND in the end we ended up paying even less than our quote! The food was so delicious and it was presented in a beautiful way. I am a vegetarian, but my husband is not. Ben knew exactly what we wanted before even meeting us. Once we met in person he really «got it». In a way, he ended up being our personal wedding planner. We had so many questions for him he ended up helping us understand what kind of event we really wanted. His staff was extremely professional, on time (early even!) and fast. We received many compliments from our guests. I would recommend this catering company to anyone for any event big or small.

We utilized Ben and his professional team for our non-​profit organization’s Fall Vision Banquet this past weekend. We decided on Pyramid Catering because they were a lot more reasonable price wise, but also came with some stellar reviews. Ben was super easy to work with, professional, friendly, and offered a delicious range of food options for a very good price compared to other catering outfits in the region. His staff was on time, courteous, and great to work with. Several people at our event came up to me and raved about the quality and presentation of the food. Many wanted to know who we were using as they too were non-​profit
organizational leaders themselves who were on the lookout for good event catering options. I couldn’t recommend Ben & Pyramid more eagerly/​highly. Our experience with them was top-​notch! Thank you, Ben Jablonsky and your excellent team!

An organization affiliated with work has monthly dinner business meetings. I volunteered for ²⁰¹⁴⁄₂₀₁₅ to find venues and a caterer for 80 to 120 people. This week’s dinner meeting I hired Ben Jablonsky of Pyramid Catering. The planning of the event was very easy. Ben was great to work with and he is very helpful in selecting the right food for our buffet. The food was fabulous. Many people attending said it is the best food we have had at our meetings. Ben’s staff was very efficient and on time. We loved working with Pyramid Catering and we will use them again. Pyramid was perfect in food selections, quality of food, and professionalism of staff. Thank you Ben.

There is a reason why all but one person gave this company 5 stars. The food, the staff, the service, their attitudes; everything they did was amazing. We had a mix of carnivores and vegetarians at our event and everyone walked away saying how amazing the food tasted, and we had some serious foodies at our wedding. They were so flexible when we got there day of and had to completely redesign the layout because of the dj. It was no sweat for them. And once they got there, I walked away and left it all in their hands because it was apparent that they knew exactly what my level of quality was and the quickness it needed to be done.
I would choose Ben’s company every time. You get the complete package here folks! Price, quality, service and attention to detail. Everything you are looking for in a cater, you get with Pyramid!

My husband and I were highly impressed with Pyramid Catering from the beginning to end of planning our event! We hired Pyramid to cater our wedding, which was 7÷11÷2014.
I originally emailed the company to get some info last summer when I began planning our wedding. Ben called me back promptly, which I was impressed with, and he was very friendly, helpful and practical. He asked me more questions as to what we were looking for more specifically for our wedding (menu, drinks, etc.) and sent me a proposal after our discussion. Not only was I impressed with the menu selection, but the price was SO reasonable!
We went to a tasting with just my husband and I and Ben, which gave us the opportunity to talk specifically about our event and he answered a lot of questions for us. He also let us try ALL the items on our Northwest themed menu! The food was delicious!
In addition to amazing food, he supported us with numerous other important areas of planning a wedding. He had formulas to help us figure out how much alcohol we needed to buy, which was so helpful! He figured out all the rental orders for the linens, dishes, etc. since our venue did not provide any of that. He also was great about helping us set a general timeline for the event! He was seriously above and beyond what we expected!
Ben and Liz made doing a wedding without a full-​time wedding coordinator seem easy with the support he provided, which in my eyes, is not necessarily the job of a caterer! He was flexible when I requested changes along the way. He was prompt with responding to my questions. He was always friendly and willing to help!
As far as the actual event, everything was SEAMLESS! Ben and the entire catering team were amazing! I got peeks in between the craziness of being a bride as they set things up and saw everything come together even better than I pictured! Talk about hard workers! It was SO hot that day and they all worked so hard without a complaint! They were all very friendly and made our day so special!
I am STILL hearing compliments from our guests about the food! Everyone was SO impressed with the quality of the food! Also, there was so much food! Everyone was able to eat to their heart’s desire and were so full that many didn’t even have room for the late night snack! We had so many leftovers, we couldn’t believe it! (What a bonus! :))
I am so thankful we found Pyramid Catering for our wedding! We are so happy with the way everything worked out, thanks to them! I would highly recommend Pyramid Catering to anyone looking for an exceptional catering company at a very reasonable price point!

Our experience with Pyramid Catering was positive from start to finish. They provided food and bartending services for our wedding in April and everything was perfect. We chose our favorite buffet menu off the website and then changed 2 or 3 of the entrees to agree more with my vegetarian diet. Pyramid was willing to change anything we wanted on the menu, which was very nice. We attended two of their open houses before our event for a chance to taste a lot of their best menu items and decide whether we wanted to include those items at our wedding. The open houses were always enjoyable and the food was always delicious! Come wedding day, there were two things that stuck out in my mind.
One was when I had come inside to sit down (sitting is rare when you’re the bride) while everyone else was still enjoying the sunny weather outside. I was slouching on the couch and looking nervous, I’m sure, for the upcoming ceremony. The bartenders were in the same room setting up for the cocktail hour and asked if I needed a drink (alcoholic or otherwise). It was so thoughtful of them, especially because they stopped what they were doing to make sure I was happy.
Two was after we went through the buffet line and I was about to go upstairs to the reception hall. One of Pyramid’s staff kindly asked if she could carry my plate for me so that I could walk up the stairs in my wedding dress without spilling on myself. That was completely unexpected and so awesome!
The rest of the night was flawless and I never heard any complaints about the service or the food. In fact, everyone I talked to said the food was great!
Thank you Pyramid!

If there was an option for a higher rating than five stars, I would give it. Our wedding reception was comprised of a two story historic location and had many elements that were handled like clock work by Pyramid Catering. We were personal friends with almost all of our other vendors, so hiring catering was something I thought would be stressful, however it couldn’t have been easier.
Ben and his whole staff, servers & bartenders, made our day so very special! Ben went above and beyond with his guidance and advice through the food planning and even with planing details unrelated to food. His flexibility and promptness made the whole process much less stressful than I had anticipated.
I have to tell you that not only have our guests been telling us that the food was amazing, but that it was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding! The servers helped everyone have a good time, were thoughtful, very friendly and very professional.
I couldn’t have hand picked a better group. It’s one thing for guests to rave about décor of how great the food was but when they are telling me how nice, fun, outgoing professional the staff was… I was even more impressed. They catered to husband and I, and I am very thankful for that but the red carpet treatment was extended to our guests in the same fashion and made a huge impact on the experience everyone had.
We had multiple people are coming up to find me and tell me how nice the servers and bartenders were and how much they loved the food from appetizers to all of the options and presentation. Completely didn’t expect that and am overjoyed that it happened. I can’t thank them enough.
I would highly recommend your to anyone who is looking for a stellar experience with their event of any size.

Ben, Emily, and the Pyramid Catering Team went above and beyond with their outstanding service! Ben helped us with planning things that went beyond food and drinks — venue set up, timeline, etc.
On the day of, the Pyramid Team helped to clean up things that they weren’t responsible for — even going so far as to transport something that belonged to us, not them, after the reception was over. There were several things on the day-​of that they «upgraded» without telling us, or charging us, and the catering staff was friendly and professional, never in the way.
To be clear, the food was good (several guests went out of their way to say so) and presented well, but it wasn’t a five-​star restaurant (but hey, for the price, it was great). They even packaged up some food and cake for us to take back to the hotel.
These people know their business and take care of their customers!

Woohoo! As good as it gets! Indeed!
We hired Pyramid Catering for our wedding party this past Sunday (27 October) and everything was fantastic! From the initial stages of setting up the event, through to the tasting, and on to the event. Ben Jablonsky (owner) is a super nice guy and he walked us through every step of the process (we had no idea what to do never having done a party like this).
Everything went smoothly the day of the event, the catering team were very nice and helpful and the food was fantastic. We heard many praises for the food from our attendees.
If you are catering an event in the future, do yourself a favor and go with Pyramid Catering!
