Love, love, love Jean! She was great to work with - she is creative, full of ideas and very responsive to what we wanted. We heard great reviews of the food from our guests, but the outcome wasn't necessarily what we had expected. We felt the value for what we got wasn't the money that we had paid, but then again we probably have NO CONCEPT of what it costs to feed that many people and are asured that Jean was very fair with us. I would recommend that everyone do business with her on any level and would love to work with her again in the future!

Willaby's was great to work with. We were a little confused that they had to get more wine downtown before our guests had finished eating (we were at a vineyard, and not a crowd that would drink more than the average wedding crowd), but other than that the food and service were very good.

Willaby's was wonderful to work with for our wedding food. All of our guests commented on how wonderful the food tasted. When working with Jean, she was able to incorporate some of our family favorite dishes with some Willaby's classics. All the food was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. The serving staff and bartenders were very friendly too. It was a wonderful experience working with them.

I worked with Jean at Willaby's for my recent wedding at Willamette Valley Vineyards. Although the winery changed coordinators midway through our planning process, Jean was constantly available to help us with questions and concerns and to make sure the day was exactly how we wanted it. She worked with us to create a sophisticated menu showcasing the amazing food available in the Northwest and was incredibly flexible with our numerous special requests. We got many compliments on the delicious food and the professional servers (we had passed appetizers and a plated dinner) who handled our wedding. We weren't able to access the venue the day before the wedding to set up any of decorations, and we were able to leave instructions with Jean to set up our special items so that my family and I could concentrate on other things. I really can't recommend the wonderful folk (especially Jean) at Willaby's highly enough. They will go above and beyond to make sure that your day is exactly how you want it.

My daughter and her fiance used Willaby's as the caterer for their wedding at Willamette Valley Vineyards. Their staff worked with us to put together a mix of beverages and finger foods that worked well for our group and our budget. They got lots of compliments on the cookie tower, but all the food was tasty and well presented, and the staff at the event was excellent.

Our wedding and grooms cake was beautiful and delicious.They were very prepared when we met with them and always available.In fact, my wife and I were going to order a smaller cake that had the same frosting and filling as the wedding cake since we loved it so much.Everyone enjoy themselves.

Willaby's Catering did our Willamette Valley Vineyards reception. There were many options for appetizers and we were very happy with our choices. They did a family style service for us since we did not want lines for a buffet and didn't want the formality or price of a plated meal. It was a great way for our guests to begin conversation (pass the steak please) and it allowed everyone to taste what they want without having to choose salmon or steak.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We are still receiving compliments...three months after the wedding! We also had some tricky allergies to work around (preservatives and latex) and Willaby's was more than helpful, making the evening fun for everyone to enjoy.

Willaby's catered our wedding reception at the Willamette Valley Vineyard August 16th 2009. The food was so delicious and wonderfully presented. The menu consisted of the most delicious dish called chicken gorganzola, the most wonderful green salad, an exotic fruit platter, and bread rolls. We also had a selection of Willamette Valley Vineyard wines, hefeweizen beer, coffee and lemonade. Our guests raved how wonderful the food tasted and talked about it for weeks. The Willaby's staff was very attentive and helpful. We will definately choose Willaby's to cater our next event!

Willaby's Catering was the perfect choice for our daughter's wedding! Guests raved about the delicious menu long after the event was over! The owner, Jean Williamson, is very personable, easy to work with, and was extremely accommodating from the first day we walked into her office. Her help in selecting menu choices was invaluable and she was very helpful in keeping to our budget without compromising the service and quality. She and her staff did an amazing job in seeing the reception through until the last guest left. The service was professional and the staff went above and beyond to make the reception the most memorable day for our daughter and new son-in-law. We couldn't have picked a better caterer for such an important day!

Our wedding food was incredible! So yummy! Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked! We received so many compliments from our guests about how great the food was! Not only was the food delicious but the service we received from Willaby's was above and beyond from beginning to end. We worked with Jean of Willaby's who is amazing. She makes everything easy from the menu to the budget to the service on the day of. The staff at the wedding was friendly, professional and they looked great! We were so pleased and cannot recommend Willaby's enough!

They worked really well with our budget and even were willing to wait for a payment until less than a week before our wedding. The food was delicious, but a bit pricey, but they were very nice and professional.

The food was wonderful and very reasonably prices. Months after the wedding we are still having guests comment on how much they enjoyed the food. They were very easy to work with and I highly recommend Willaby's.

The price was reasonable and they offer quite a variety of services. However, they take too long to respond to e-mails and phone calls. On the day of, changes that I had made were actually not made which caused a great deal of stress. They don't seem to care about their clients and disregarded all of my concerns. Would not recommend.

Willaby's was great! We had a tough time deciding on a caterer and ended up booking them fairly last minute. They were fantastic to deal with throughout the process and the food was DELICIOUS.
