Who We Are

Locally Sourced, Vibrant Partnerships

We thoughtfully source ingredients from the Pacific Northwest, and love working with local vendors.

Our Partnerships

  • Gelsey and James catered our wedding at the Nordic Museum this spring, and not only was the food fantastic (best wedding food I've ever had), but they took care of so many little details and made our night smooth and wonderful. They created a custom menu for us that celebrated our heritage and catered to the wide variety of palates and dietary restrictions present at our wedding. Hire them!

  • Their experience, flexibility, and fantastic communication skills made it easy to work through the many planning details related to catering a wedding reception. Throughout the reception, Gelsey, James, and the Lovely Night Team were gracious, attentive, friendly and efficient. Lovely Night receives our highest recommendation!

  • James is the head chef and has worked at Michelin starred restaurants and it was very apparent, everything looked and tasted amazing! Our guests really enjoyed the food and we got several compliments during dinner about how much people enjoyed it. My personal favorite remains their pesto pasta, which is extra creamy!

    Tori Z.

  • The food was OUTSTANDING! The portions were generous and everyone truly raved about every single dish, from the super creative hors d'oeuvres, to the light summery salads, to the seasonal PNW main courses. We got so many "best wedding food I've ever had" comments that we couldn't count them all!

    Micki

  • Everyone who attended the wedding said it was the best food they ever had at any wedding or event. James' food just melts in your mouth. I have to give the biggest round of applause to Gelsey...she was the "rockstar" of the night. She was there to help with every detail and every vendor. We are so blessed they helped our vision come to life.

    Alyssa

  • My husband said hands-down the best short rib he's ever had. The food was amazing, the appetizers were amazing. All our guests were (and still are) raving about the food. We were sold at the tasting we did with Lovely Night. The Hamachi crudo bites and pork belly bites were out of this world. Gelsey and James sat with us and created a menu that was delicious and hit all of our guests' dietary restrictions so everyone had a delicious meal.

    Anna

  • Gelsey, James, and the Lovely Night crew- you made my wedding. It's been over two weeks and I am still getting texts about the food and how delicious it was. The salmon... oh my goodness. Words cannot thank you enough for everything. I would choose you 1,000 times for any event!

    Sarah

  • This was the best wedding food we’ve ever had! Gelsey and James were great to work with. We consider ourselves foodies, and Lovely Night is definitely the catering for foodies. Given our guest count we decided that a buffet was the best option and we were initially skeptical that we’d find a catering company able to make buffet food up to our standards. But wow, they certainly did!
