The Pacific Northwest is home to some amazing restaurants and Oregon is no exception. Portland catering incorporates all kinds of local and regional elements that your menu can reflect. Hiring the right wedding caterers to create a unique and delicious meal can be simple with so many wonderful options from which to choose.

If you’ve ever walked the streets of downtown Portland you know that on almost every corner you can find a gathering of trucks and trailers serving fast and tasty food from any country you can name. You could give a nod to the Portland food truck craze by asking your Portland wedding caterers to produce upscale versions of the kind of street food you typically could find offered by the trucks gathered in Mississippi Marketplace or the like.

Because of its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, Portland wedding caterers have access to beautiful and fresh cuts of salmon and tuna. A popular preparation of this seafood is sushi. Having a sushi chef on deck at your event can showcase this regional favorite in a way that is modern and unique; ask your Portland catering company if this is an option. If so, having a bartender serve sake would be an excellent pairing.

Not many know that Oregon is home to many wineries that make and sell a wide variety of bottles utilizing locally grown grapes. These handcrafted wines can enhance the food you have chosen and add a regional flair to your day. Ask your Portland wedding caterers if their bartenders or anyone on staff can provide a tasting during the cocktail hour or reception.

An influx of progressive residents has also grown the city’s vegan and vegetarian dining options. There are communities of Portland wedding caterers who focus solely on vegan and vegetarian cuisine to offer a sustainable and healthy menu.  Portland catering companies can work in vegan options with other more traditional types of fare for a well-rounded menu.
