Planner's guide

Best For: Corporate lunch meetings and business events, wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners, community gatherings and nonprofit fundraisers, private parties and celebration dinners

What planners usually like:

  • Clear communication throughout the planning process, which reduces misunderstandings and last-minute surprises
  • Local Seattle-based operations mean shorter delivery distances and familiarity with local venue logistics
  • Weekday business hours align well with standard corporate event planning schedules
  • Ability to work with various event sizes and occasion types across the Seattle area

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Request specific menu options and dietary accommodation capabilities (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergen considerations)
  • Confirm minimum guest count requirements and whether pricing scales differently for smaller vs. larger events
  • Discuss delivery and setup services—what's included, travel fees, and whether they provide service staff or just food
  • Ask about timeline requirements for booking, menu finalization, and final headcount confirmation deadlines

Common questions

How far in advance do I need to book City Catering Company for my event?

While the vendor information doesn't specify minimum booking timelines, it's best to contact them directly at +1 206-721-0334 during business hours (Monday-Friday, 11 AM–4 PM) to discuss your event date. Most Seattle catering companies appreciate 2-4 weeks' notice for standard events, though availability may vary seasonally.

Does City Catering Company deliver to venues outside their immediate Seattle location?

They serve customers across Seattle, but delivery range and associated fees should be confirmed directly. Ask whether your specific venue location is within their service area and what delivery charges apply based on distance from their 509 Dexter Ave N location.

Can they accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies?

The vendor description doesn't detail specific dietary accommodations, so this is critical to discuss when you contact them. Ask about their experience with common restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, nut allergies) and how they handle cross-contamination prevention if this is relevant to your guests.

What's included in their catering package—just food, or do they provide service staff and rentals?

This isn't specified in available information. When you reach out, clarify whether pricing includes only food delivery, or if they provide servers, bartenders, linens, plates, and other service elements. This significantly impacts your total event budget.

How flexible are they with custom menu requests versus set packages?

Contact them directly to understand their approach to customization. Some catering companies work from preset menus, while others create custom offerings for an upcharge. Ask whether they can work within specific themes or cuisines your event requires.

What's their payment structure and cancellation policy?

Standard catering contracts include deposit requirements, payment schedules, and cancellation timelines. Ask about their specific terms—many require 50% upfront deposit and have 2-week cancellation policies, but confirm City Catering Company's exact terms before committing.
