Vibrant Table Catering & Events

We were thrilled with Vibrant Table at our wedding. Our coordinator responded to emails within the day - even on his days off and weekends. The food was amazing. The service professional. Top notch all around.

Vibrant Table provided our flowers for the wedding day. They were absolutely beautiful! It was great to see my vision put together. The florist understood my vision and what I wanted and produced gorgeous bouquets! -KH

I don't have anything bad to say about Vibrant Table, it was all SPECTACULAR. The food is amazing, it all came out on time, perfect temperature, nothing was dry or undercooked. Not only that, but Auriana, Page and Matt were a great source for questions of all types, even those not regarding catering or flowers. And the FLOWERS! They were even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! I believe that between my handmade decorations, and Page's flowers the feel and ambiance of our wedding was a complete success. I love everything Page and Auriana/Matt did for our wedding. Oh and Clay was FANTASTIC. He was on top of everything and kept everyone super happy! THANK YOU! You guys are the best team !

I cannot count how many of our wedding guests came up to us during and weeks after the wedding saying how wonderful the food was! They said it was the best wedding food they have ever had and I believe it! Not only was the food amazing, but the service was above and beyond all of my expectations. My groom and I took a private moment after the ceremony and since we were missing the yummy food and drinks at cocktail hour, they brought them to us! For dinner they also brought custom plates of food to us so we for sure got to eat! They checked on us periodically through out the night to make sure we had everything we needed. Our venue had Vibrant Table as an exclusive caterer so we did a lot of coordinating through VT and they were amazing. They responded to my emails so promptly, met all of my requests and needs, wonderful menu tasting, two cake tastings, and even did a walk through of the venue where we took two hours going through our whole proposal and floor plans fine tuning every little detail. Every single person I worked with at VT was amazing and your wedding or event will be outrageous if you hire them! They may be a little pricey but are soooo worth every penny!

We used Vibrant Table for our wedding catering and floral at the Gerding Theater. They were fantastic to work with! Page did a fantastic job with our floral (LOVED my bouquet, amazing!!) and she took my vision and ran with it. David was so helpful and accommodating too - super nice, professional and detailed. I think really, the highest point of their service is the quality of the food. Our guests were so impressed with the meal. It was truly, truly delicious. I have never had spectacular buffet-style food and this meal was phenomenal. Worth every penny. --jenny and mike

NO COMPLAINTS!!! Vibrant table basically did everything-- the food, the sound system, the tables, linens, flowers, and cake! Everyone we worked with bent over backwards to ensure we had an unforgettable time. I can't say enough nice things about them!

A friend was married in Dundee a couple months ago and Vibrant table did the food and flowers and they were absolutely amazing! I can't tell you how beautiful the presentation of the food was- it really was almost breathtaking. As for how it tasted- mouth watering. It really was so good- people kept commenting all night about the food and how good it was. They set up some decor and lights outside on the deck, too, and it was just the right touch or ambiance, very romantic. The flowers were phenomenal- my friend has a bit of a quirky style, and the flowers fit her to a T while being very classy. It was so neat how they used such different plants and flowers together to make such beautiful things- I'd never seen arrangements like that at a wedding and it was just gorgeous.

had Eric and he was amazing very helpful and made the wedding great with the great food.

excellent food. willing to meet all requests, even dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets for a kids meal. very responsive, prompt, and friendly. expensive, but well worth it for a worry-free reception.

When I booked my ceremony/reception venue they were working exclusively with Vibrant Table. Being from Salem, we were not that familiar with VT - but were extremely pleased from the first moment we met with our event coordinator. I had been informed by a friend (& local wedding planner) to request a specific coordinator, Auriana Albree, and have to say that she was fantastic from the very beginning. We were able to sit down with her in the VT space and really discuss how we wanted our entire event to play out. She helped us with the ceremony set up/design, with the timeline for the entire evening, and with deciding on our food and overall feel for the reception. The contact aspect was phenomenal. VT, and Auriana specifically, was great at responding to any questions or minor change that was made. I'd send off a quick change of seating or table numbers - and Auriana would respond within half an hour and would include an updated layout(both ceremony & reception) for me. Our day of site manager, Kevin, was great also. He worked great with my day of coordinator and ensured that all issues were handled without me ever knowing! The service of the entire staff was wonderful; they were prompt, stayed on our timeline, ensured that the food never was empty, and most of all - they were professional & kind to our guests. Probably the most significant experience I had with VT & their kindness/professionalism actually took place after my event. In the hustle & bustle of the night, I had forgotten my bouquet on the head table. On my bouquet was my grandmother's necklace. Upon returning home from my honeymoon I got in contact with VT to try & locate the bouquet & necklace. They were so diligent about checking with all the staff that worked our event - and eventually tracked down someone who had taken the bouquet home w/o realizing the necklace was attached. They were able to return my necklace to me and were so incredibly helpful and kind thru out. Vibrant Table will forever get my songs of praise -- I'm still getting compliments on how nice the entire evening was & I really thank Vibrant Table & Auriana for helping us create such a wonderful evening for us, our family & our friends!

Vibrant Table provided the catering and flowers for my wedding and arranged for the rentals and cake via their contacts for me. They made planning a Portland, OR wedding from Europe so much easier. They were easy to work with and had great ideas and were able to create the most beautiful wedding setting for us. The flowers were incredible, the food was delicious, and the staff were friendly, professional and thoughtful. We highly recommend them!

I cannot say enough great things about Vibrant Table! The quality of food and service are top notch and being in the wedding biz I've experienced a wide variety of caterers. Vibrant Table was one of the reasons we selected the venue we did for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! We worked with Karen Rich throughout the planning process and Matt Brodeur was our Event Manager on our big day and both went above and beyond to ensure every detail was attended to and made perfect for us. Their staff worked tirelessly to ensure all of the setup was completed on time and since our ceremony and reception were in the same room, they had to do a partial room change which was both efficient and smooth. They not only made sure my husband and I were well taken care of but that each of our guests had a memorable experience as well, and three months later people are still telling us that ours was the best wedding they've ever been to and that the food was incredible! I would HIGHLY recommend Vibrant Table to any couple who has the opportunity to bring them into their wedding venue, and fortunately they are exclusive at some of the best spots in the Portland/Salem area!

This vendor is exceptional! We worked directly with Eric Sandstrom who did a fabulous job for our day. They had a full staff on site to help out with all the little problems that would arise (like when it started to rain) and they were on top of everything. The food was wonderful, they grilled salmon on site which added a nice aromatic effect to the day and they made sure that my husband and I were taken care of throughout the night, whether it was getting us a drink or a slice of cake or just checking on how we thought everything was going. They exceeded my expectations on many levels and became a huge resource on the day of our wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend them. The price we paid was based on a 100 person wedding or so, with a beer/wine bar and our cake.

We used Vibrant Table as the florist for our wedding and were thrilled with the results. I came to their florist with ideas and pictures of the look that I wanted. She was professional, artistic, and full of great ideas. Some of the flowers I wanted were either out of season or would have been to expensive for our budget. She offered wonderful suggestions of alternatives so that I could get what I wanted. All of the arrangements and bridal party flowers were fabulous and perfect for our wedding. I would use VT or suggest them to anyone else in a heartbeat.

I can not say enough awesome things about VT. Their floral designer Page Bender is the best in Portland -BY FAR! She really adds to the the VT team. I came in to her with a load of my own ideas and she made everyone of them a reality. I even asked for a composite rose with feathers and she did a breath taking job. My wedding was so memorable becasue she NAILED THE FLORAL! Just nailed it. The blooms were bigger and better then i could have ever asked for. I will never forget my practially perfect planning experience with her at the VT location as well as her cost saving ideas to make my day more special.

When my then-fiance and I were planning our wedding, we knew that one of the most important things to have at our wedding was good food. And sure enough, over one year since our wedding, people are still talking about the food we had. From the appetizers of mint-pesto lambchops to the steak bites with bleu cheese, and greek feta skewers to the elaborate plated dinner of chicken stuffed with gorgonzola and prosciutto with winter vegetables to the amazing desserts of chocolate mousse, shortbread cookies, and panna cotta. It was all amazing. The staff were so responsive during the ceremony and so helpful during the planning process. We were so satisfied with the food and service that we've used their catering services for other events and will continue to do so in the future.

We ended up with Vibrant Table as our caterers as they had a contract with our venue, which we lovde. We should have guessed by the professionalism of our venue, that they would never pick a bad contract caterer. They were excellent from the start. Very prompt in returning phone calls, emails and setting appointments. They were more than accommodating when helping us choose a menu, and even provided me with my own Gluten / dairy free dinner for the night of our wedding. The food was amazing, all of our guests raved about it and the service. The wait staff the night of our wedding was also amazing, in addition to our VT point person being on site. They have a great working relationship with both our coordinator and the venue. Their prices are the cheapest around, but in this instance, you get what you pay for! Great food, service and rave review from our guests. They even had our left overs (what little remained) packed up, and labeled for us to take along after the reception. I didn't have to worry about a thing!

Vibrant Table did an amazing job catering our wedding, and the fact that they are the exclusive caterer for several venues including ours was a huge plus - they knew the site well, had good working relationships with the venue, etc. The food was delicious, plentiful and beautifully presented. Overall, we could not have been more pleased.

The food looked amazing and I had almost a dozen people talk to me in the weeks following our wedding about how delicious the food was. We actually didn't get a chance to eat because of our photographers taking us away during dinner (long story). However when we got back, the caterer brought us warm plates of food that they made for us but we were too busy and tired to eat. So as far as taste goes...I'm solely going by what my guests have told me (and my family still talks about the food to this day...and my wedding was over a year ago!). As far as how it was working with them, they were very professional, easy to get a hold of, very accommodating when we wanted to change things around, and I truly feel this company is the best money can buy. They are a little expensive, but if you can afford them, it is well worth your money. They even have a "day of" wedding coordinator that stays there and makes sure everything is done right and runs on schedule. This company really made me feel like a princess on her special day. All throughout the day, our coordinator was always checking on us to see if we needed anything. I was a little worried about spending so much money on catering, but I'm so glad I did it.

Eric was amazing! Willing to meet all our requests and provide a wonderful and worry-free ceremony and reception. Our guests are still talking about it!
