Testimonials

"I was beginning to panic as had procrastinated regarding getting a caterer for a small event. With 2 days to go, Mark came through with a wonderful array of food. Everything tasted and looked incredible. Many thanks for making the evening special."

"We really lucked out. We chose Carte Blanche for the brunch after our daughter's wedding. Mark was extremely efficient, professional and attentive to details. He was the only caterer that we interviewed who listen to our requests. His food was delicious and creative. We received loads of compliments. I will definitely have Carte Blanche cater for us again, and will highly recommend him to friends."

Whenever my wedding comes up people inevitably start talking about the catering, and they never have enough good things to say. Carte Blanche was a top notch caterer from my first contact until they loaded up and left our venue (boxed up left overs placed nicely on the tables). I highly recommend Carte Blanche catering to anyone looking for a great and easy catering experience. Mark and his staff will take care of you and your event with extreme professionalism, make your event amazing and to top it off, their prices are really reasonable. Simply a wonderful catering business.

"My Wife and I were lucky enough to choose Carte Blanche to cater our wedding and we were rewarded for our decision with excellent service and accommodations to all our specific needs. Mark is a stand up guy, a good businessman and just a generally pleasant person to work with. Everything went off without a hitch and we had a lovely night."

"One of the most important elements of a wedding is the hospitality offered to the guests. I thus made it a priority to find an excellent caterer who would provide a delicious and beautiful meal to our guests, at a reasonable price. I found Mark Stern and Carte Blanche Caterers at the Oregon Wedding Showcase in Eugene in January 2011. I read the reviews for his services on Yelp and Google - they were glowing. All of my guests said the food was delicious and the service impeccable. There were many things about our wedding that were stressful and did not go according to plan. I am so relieved and happy that the food was one thing that went exactly right. I heartily recommend Carte Blanche to anyone looking for gracious and excellent catering."

"I ordered 25 box lunches and they were wonderful. Fresh, tasty and the giant cookie was excellent.. They were well packed and we appreciasted that since we were traveling by bus and the box lunch was our noon meal and we needed to eat them on the bus as we were traveling. I will use them again when the need comes up."

"Carte Blanche catered my graduation celebration. I had an extremely positive experience, beginning with my initial contact with Mark, through picking up dishes and serving items the day after the event. The food was phenomenal and every dish (including sauces) was labeled so guests knew what they were about to taste. They offer an extremely versatile suitable for casual events to very formal events, but the service is top-notch regardless of the menu. I highly recommend Carte Blanche.‎"

"Mark and his crew catered my daughter's wedding that was quite a bit out of town...making it a little more difficult. They were fantastic! The food and presentation were everything we expected and more. Basically, my daughter and husband told him what they wanted, and Mark took the ball and went with it, while working within our budget. He was two steps ahead of us, so when we had a question, it was already taken care of. Mark is honest, professional and completely trustworthy. We can't recommend him enough."

"Mark catered our all day retreat - 3 distinct meals. The food was incredible, the service was impeccable,and the presentation was amazing. Mark made the process smooth and easy. I highly recommend the blue velvet soup, the smoked tri-tip, and the kahlua mousse. YUM! We will definitely be using Carte Blanche again."

"Mark catered our wedding, and he is the most conscientious, reassuring chef that we could wish for. We had a magical day, and Mark contributed a great deal to it. The food was delicious and festive, and Mark and his staff ever so efficient and helpful. Thanks for helping to make our day special!"

"I had specific ideas for my son and his bride's prewedding bash. Mark was helpful and willing to follow those ideas to create a memorable event. I would recommend him and his team to anyone putting together a celebration that requires a special touch. Thank you, Mark, for following the recipes for "Fenton's" ice cream sundaes (so much a part of my son's childhood) and for being so wonderful to work with."

"We were so amazed to finally find a caterer who not only listened to our needs, but followed through with every detail that was important to us! What a joy it was to work with Mark Stern to plan our special event for 200+ guests and then to see the plan perfectly executed."

"We've worked with Mark and the crew from Carte Blanche Caterers on three events, two intimate summer garden parties (60 people) and a chambers after-hours reception for 300. The food and the service for all three events was terrific. Mark's cuisine is refreshing and he manages to create satisfying meals even with modest event budgets. And Mark is very accomodating to last minute changes in guest projections."

"We've used Carte Blanche to cater some of our office events in the past and we've always been impressed with the food, service, and prices. So for our holiday party this year we decided to have a southwest buffet and appetizers. We were not disappointed. The food arrived right on time, the set up looked great, and the quality was amazing. The biggest hits were the bacon wrapped shrimp and the kahlua mousse. Mark was very easy to work with, even with our ever changing date he was most accommodating and made great recommondations if we weren't sure about something. I highly recommend Carte Blanche and won't hesitate to use them again. Thank you Mark!!"
