Bleu Bite was professional, exceptional, and very easy to work with. They followed up with me consistently , communicated well, and were very organized. The staff were all amazing, hardworking, efficient, and kind. They offer so many services, which allows the wedding planning to be simplified. Their food is where they really shine though. All my guests raved about the food. Each side, entry, appetizer they served was delicious. The meat and poultry was cooked to perfection. They packaged leftover food up for us, which was devoured by the end of the weekend. The presentation was beautiful too! I would highly recommend.

WOW! We hired Bleu Bite for our company party. They were kind, professional, timely, and the food was INCREDIBLE. They even called after the event to check in and see how it went. Nothing but good things to say, and I definitely look forward to working with them again.

Blue Bite went above and beyond for our wedding in 2020!

Bleu Bite was fantastic to work with and very accommodating. We had them cater our wedding this past weekend and they went above and beyond. They were so helpful all the way up to the wedding and smashed it the day of. You can really tell they take a lot of pride in what they do and know what they are doing. They were such a pleasure and made sure our special day was everything we had hoped for!

If you are considering going with Bleu Bite, just DO IT! You will be blown away. Here are some of the things we absolutely loved about them:- They responded to issues (like a surprise hail storm in the middle of setting up an outdoor dinner) calmly and very quickly- The food was delicious - people in particular raved about the bacon pepper cream cheese appetizer- Every interaction with the team (primarily Jasmyn and Cerstin, but really everyone) was just delightful- They are consummate professionals with a plan for every possibility- They went above and beyond on simple things like helping with desserts (from a different vendor) or drinks (which we provided ourselves) without complaint and without asking us for an upcharge for each small thing. This was markedly different from other vendors who frequently said things like "that's not part of our contract"If we do another large event in the Bend area, we will 100% be working with Bleu Bite. We would even pay a substantially higher price just due to how amazing the team is to work with.

We had a great experience with the planning of the wedding rentals, passed apps and the charcuterie table for cocktail hour. We felt confident in the staff they were going to provide for set up, the bars , serving and clean up.The food was delicious, the charcuterie table beautiful. The service was deplorable. My advise is to vet the actual service people that will be working your party. 2 of the 7 seemed to get it. The other 5 were rude and inexperienced. The guests came and the welcome drinks were not even started. When the actual bars opened after the ceremony they were not prepped so drinks were not served until that was complete. I was horrified for our guests to be told that they had to wait. We relied on BBC to get their staff at the house in a timely manner to set up and prep for signature drinks. I found myself making drinks for arriving guests... not acceptable. The bars were a sticky mess every time I got a drink. I was told they did not have bar towels ( not my problem and figure it out as a staff of BBC) Our guests were also told to look in the garage for prosecco because bars were out, yet there was a fridge full of prosecco that the staff was shown. They only had 2 wine openers for a wedding of 180. We had back up 12 oz plastic personalized glasses if our glassware ran out, but instead of using those or the plain plastic glasses they apparently provide, the bar staff used pilsner glasses for cocktails... again unacceptable. They ran out of ice yet we last minute doubled our order.Tables were not serviced when wine was out. I also found myself and my brother checking tables for empty wine bottles and then opening and serving our friends' tables. We were told the staff would separate glasses that had to come from other rental companies, but they were not. 22 stemless glasses were missing when I returned to Curated Rentals.All in all the wedding was a beautiful success, but really tragic as a mother of the groom I had to witness and handle their job to make sure our guests who took the time to travel all the way to Bend were welcomed and treated the way we wanted them to be.

We had a wonderful experience with Bleu Bite Catering. For a family gathering of more than 10 every night, we had 4 dinners catered. Excellent food choices and very professional service. We highly recommend Bleu Bite Catering for any event.

It has been MANY years since I have been made to feel that my money and feelings are absolutely inconsequential to a company I'm spending a large sum of money with--one I have spent MONTHS working with. The level of disrespect we experienced was baffling. I hope no one makes the same mistake we did using Bleu Bite as a caterer. Like most folks who are looking for a caterer, we saw that Bleu Bite came in highly recommended for our wedding. Everything was fine up until our tasting. During our tasting there were some items we really enjoyed, but there was one option that was inedible (I don't use this term lightly), another that was unseasoned and multiple that were overcooked. I politely requested to try an additional protein option because of the four protein options we tried, only one was a good fit for us. During our call with Bleu Bite to request to taste another option, Vivian (the Customer Service Manager) told us it was against their policy to offer any other tasting options and they were NOT going to provide another option to try. I let her know that only protein option worked for us and we felt uncomfortable spending such a sum of money on something we weren't confident was going to be a fit for us. I even offered to PAY MORE for the additional tasting and they said NO--take it or leave it. I asked them to have the owner to call me to discuss terminating our contact over ONE additional item to taste because I felt I had no other choice. Not only did the manager NOT CALL, I woke up to an email from them letting us know they're refunding our deposit (essentially cancelling our contract) before being respectful enough to call me about it first as I had requested. Side note: I was told the Owner was on vacation for the next week and wouldn't be able to get back to me, but somehow she managed to have time the very next day to cancel our contract.To know that this company does absolutely nothing to accommodate their customers AND in the face of conflict won't even be respectful enough to notify you before walking away from your agreement should make anyone run for the hills. Bleu Bite--I wish you well and hope you will consider changing your business practices and attitude. Screenshots attached.

Bleu Bite catered my wedding and were absolute pros at each phase of planning and the day of the wedding. My guests raved about the food and also had special praise for the bartender.
The folks at Bleu Bite have been so helpful in getting me set up with corporate lunches for 30 people every Tuesday at our office. They worked with me to determine the menu and not only do they set up the service, they break it down too! I don't even have to wash the dishes, they do that for me off site! My coworkers have raved about the food quality and I appreciate how accommodating they are to our specific food requirements. Thanks so much, Vivian, for all of your help in getting this set up, I really appreciate all of the hard work your staff puts in.Nicole @ SOLV Energy, LLC

Update: did get some money reimbursed..good customer serviceFood wasn't bad but wasn't signature special wow. Regular store type bread and wraps and the "steak" was just roast beef deli style. I could have made the same thing for a fourth of the price from the grocery store. We had 40 people, I purchased food for 60. What we got was not for 60 people or 60 servings. The fruit salad was maybe for 15 to 20 people max (2 medium sized bowl). Green salad was plenty in 1 huge bowl plus small bowl, dressing was not enough for 60 servings (3 small mason jars), sandwich only a half per person and again for 40 wasn't enough when purchased for 60. Pasta salad in 2 bowls was maybe enough for 30ish people because we ran out of that quickly too. Mint lemonade was just regular powdered lemonade no mint. We did a head count of 40 people and a few small kids...bummer that we feel a bit ripped off food wise. Tables were supposed to be included but wasn't and thankfully the venue had extra tables. But it is ok. The delivery gentleman was kind. 15 minutes late but kind. We do many events within our family. Our favorite catering company is shut down so we explored new ones. You live and learn. So this is not a bad review necessarily, it's just to bring awareness and for us...we probably won't go this route again. Thank you. Take care. Photo of food for 60...

Bleu Bite is the best catering service in Bend, OR! They were extremely nice to work with, very flexible with all of our event changes/updates, and the food was delicious! We were so happy with our entire experience with Bleu Bite, highly recommend them, and will definitely use their services again for future events.
Michele Joy
I can't say enough about how great working with Blue Bite Catering was. They had to carry all of the food up a flight of stairs in downtown Bend where parking is notoriously difficult. In fact they had to park about a block and a half away and had to lug our food through the cold. Seriously awesomeness in my book! But the best part was the food. It was soooooo good!! ALL of my guests couldn't say enough about how great everything tasted. They were great communicators and were early with drop off (this helped with my stress meter for sure!). If you are looking for a caterer, then this is where you should land!

We hired Blue Bite to cater our company holiday party at our shop in downtown Bend. The food was everything we could have asked for, timely and great. Until next year, thank you Cerstin and Blue Bite.
