WESTERN PACIFIC CATERING

Jodi and Brad were amazing! The food was incredible - our guests have been complimenting it (specifically the tri-tip and mashed potatoes) for days after. WPC were fast with their responses during the planning stages and were on top of everything the day of.

Thank you for everything - we had the best time using Western Pacific!

Good Morning,

I just wanted to thank you and your staff for a job very well done. I love how things got moved into the party field, and how everything was so beautifully set and prepared. The food was excellent, and the bean and corn salad was exactly what Roehben was hoping for. The leftovers have been great for feeding the family and saved me from having to cook.

Again, thank you for making our special family day the Best Day Ever.

Jodi, Brad, and the whole McKillip family are incredibly talented caterers and they absolutely deliver when it comes to incredibly delicious food at scale!

Over the last year, we've worked with them to develop menus for our 50 head rehearsal and 200 head reception dinner. With only a few phone calls, they made adjustments and accommodations for our food restricted guests and responded thoughtfully to nuances we wanted in our menu. They were responsive and listened to our input, but also provided feedback for what's worked in the past. We felt very heard and the conversations felt like a partnership.

Our rehearsal was a beef brisket and pulled pork (with beans, slaw, and a quinoa salad side) which were all out of this world: slow cooked to perfection with a delicious spice mixture plus a bevy of hand picked BBQ sauces. It was a hit with our guests who love BBQ, and there were plenty of vegetarian & gluten free options provided as well. Everyone got enough to eat, and there were killer leftovers.

During our cocktail hour, WP laid out an artful spread of cheeses, antipasto, and cured meats with crackers & dips - it kept our guests happy and fed until dinner. I unfortunately didn't get to try this because of photos, but it was all gone when we got back, which was a great sign that it was a hit.

For our reception dinner, we opted for their salmon (WP is very careful about sourcing) and grilled chicken which were both cooked to PERFECTION and tasted incredible with McKillip's homemade herb & spice mixtures. For sides they threw together elevated versions of known classics: mashed potatoes with gravy (no joke, life changing gravy), garlic green beans, with green & quinoa salads. I have never loaded up a bigger plate of delicious food in my life, and it just so happened to be our wedding meal. Good lord it was delicious, and you could genuinely tell with each bite that Jodi & Brad go above and beyond to source quality ingredients, and when those are combined with their expertise you get to reap the benefit of an excellent meal at an insanely reasonable price from really nice and hardworking people. They also ran NA beverage (ice water, mint lemonade) and coffee service (crucial for the dance floor) for the event as well.

We were so overjoyed with everything, the feedback we got from our guests was overwhelmingly positive. We're happy to share to anyone considering WP Catering, that the McKillip family is truly a family of professionals - and you should absolutely hire McKillip's Western Pacific Catering to cater your wedding or any event at that. I will absolutely be recommending them to anyone I can, and dreaming about that plate of food I loaded up the night I got married.

THANK YOU MCKILLIPS!

Jodi and team were amazing! We wanted cheese burgers for our wedding. We were having difficulty finding a caterer that would do this for us. Jodi said no problem! And boy did she deliver; the burgers were juicy and delicious and she even provided grilled mushrooms and blue cheese. Jodi was professional and easy to work with and the food was amazing.

You will not be disappointed if you book Western Pacific Catering for your next event.

Jodi and her team were absolutely exceptional! I have never planned a wedding but Jodi was there to help with whatever I needed. The food was fantastic; it tasted like we were at a 5 star restaurant! We kept getting compliments all night. She made our day so much more memorable with some great food!

I would definitely recommend them.

Brad and Jodi did a fantastic job with the food for our wedding. They are easy to communicate with, answer all questions in a timely manner, and are just straight up friendly people to work with.

Guests were obsessing over the food! Everyone enjoyed it.

We highly recommend them for anyone needing a caterer for a wedding or special event!

Brad and Jodi gave us an amazing culinary wedding experience! They were very thoughtful, respectful of budgets, and truly wanted to give my wife and I the best wedding possible.

Aside from being great to work with, the food was awesome! The BBQ chicken and tenderloin were great, and the garlic mashed potatoes took it over the top!

I would without a doubt use Western Pacific Catering again!

Jodi and Brad did a phenomenal job catering our wedding. The food was just so incredible. Everyone was just raving about how delicious the barbecue was. We had tri tip and smoked salmon, mashed potatoes and gravy, Mac and cheese, spinach salad, french green beans and dinner rolls. They also did a beautiful appetizer selection. Jodi knows her stuff and had great ideas and really helped me as a bride make decisions. Communication was a breeze.

The highest reviews for Western Pacific. We’ll use them next time we have an event!

I would 100% recommend Brad and Jodi to cater anyone’s wedding! They were amazingly responsive to any questions we had about the process and very polite. The food they prepared was fantastic and we received compliments about it all night at our wedding. Western Pacific Catering offers a very good price for how long they have been around.

I would trust Brad and Jodi to cater any event we host in the future, they were amazing!

Where do I even start? Jodi held my hand through the entire planning process which made it so easy. The day of the event they were here early to set up. They were very professional. We all loved the food and they are absolutely amazing to work with. They even helped me set up decorations on the tables even though they were there to feed 450 people! They are so personable. We are hoping to use them again and again! Highly recommend!

This was my Company's first time using WPC for our annual company picnic, and we will undoubtedly be contacting them again. Not only were they timely, clean, and professional-- they were friendly, courteous, and the food was delicious! I think it is a special thing that they took the time to connect with our attendees, engage with them, and make them feel taken care of and welcome. That is going above and beyond. As a company that has deeply held core values of excellence and respect, it was exciting to work with a business whose values are clearly aligned! It was a pleasant experience all around. Thank you, Western Pacific Catering!

Oh my gosh! Food to die for! Jodi was a pleasure to communicate with, as well as amazingly friendly! The food was over the moon, full of flavor and very delicious! We were not able to taste before hand but there is no need too! They know what they’re doing! We got the Tri-tip and BBQ Chicken Breast! So juicy and perfect!

Thank you guys so much for making everyone’s tummy full of delicious food! I will recommend you to anyone and everyone!

If you want the best food at your event look no further. Working with Brad and Jodi to plan your party is a breeze and the food is top notch. One year after our daughter’s wedding and we still get compliments on the food. The price is extremely competitive and you won’t get better grilled meat anywhere else. Brad is a master at the grill. Everything he prepares is amazing but I personally recommend the salmon and tri tip. Hands down the best mouth watering salmon that melts in your mouth.

Brad and Jodi are a well oiled machine capable of serving large or small crowds with ease. I highly recommend them if you want to treat your guests to the best.

We were guests at a wedding that was catered by Brad & Jodi. The food was fantastic!! The prime rib was so tender and flavorful. We went back for seconds of the chicken. The seasoning was spot on. Everything was so delicious!!

Thank you for sharing your talent!

5 stars is literally not enough to rate this company. Brad and Jodie (& family) catered our daughter's wedding. From the initial conversation through the wedding and even after, they kept us informed and updated at all times. They made us feel as if they were catering their own event and made sure that everything was perfect.

The food - wow. They served Tri-tip, BBQ chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad and rolls. Additionally, they had iced-tea, lemonade and water available to our guests. At the last minute we decided to add coffee and they were happy to include that as well. Everyone raved about the food - several commented that it was the best food they had had at a wedding.

I will not ever look for another caterer when hosting an event - Brad & Jodie will be my go to.

Western Pacific Catering is the only catering team I will work with in the future. I would 100% recommend and use this team for any event based off of my recent experience with them at my wedding. Brad, Jodi and their team were an absolute dream to work with.

When I booked Western Pacific Catering for our August 2021 wedding, I chose them based on their reviews, menu options and reasonable price. Jodi was quick to respond to my inquiry and after our first phone consultation I felt comfortable moving forward. From that point on Brad and Jodi went above and beyond for me. They worked around my schedule and drove three hours out of their way just to scout out my venue and ensure we would be set for the big day.

On the day of our wedding we arrived at the venue just as Brad was firing up the grill for the tri tip, chicken and salmon. It smelled amazing! The appetizer table was set up beautifully. All of this added to the overall experience of the day.

I can’t say enough about the food. It was absolutely delicious. Every guest who reminisced on the wedding always mentioned how good the food was. After dinner came to a close, the team packaged the remaining food for us and stored it in the refrigerator. These left-overs did not go to waste! Every last piece of food was enjoyed. Once everything wrapped up with the catering we were lucky enough to catch Brad and Jodi on the dance floor! We loved that they celebrated with us.

I want to give a huge thank you to Brad, Jodi and their team for playing a huge roll in making our wedding a wonderful experience. Western Pacific Catering’s food, service and team are a ten out of ten!

Brad and Jodi were phenomenal. The food was amazing - all our guests raved about how delicious it was. In addition to providing exceptional service the day of our event, Brad and Jodi were super responsive and helpful in planning the menu and making sure everything was perfect leading up to the event. Knowing I was in such good hands was a huge relief. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

They say at your wedding people remember 2 things. The music and the food, and because of that we're so happy we went with Western Pacific Catering. We had a vegetarian tell us "I can't believe I'm eating this meat, but it is SO GOOD!" We had multiple people tell us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. The salmon, tri-tip and chicken were incredible! and the mashed potatoes were out of this world. But the reason I give Western Pacific 6 stars (out of 5) is because they were so kind, thoughtful, and helped make us feel special on our day. I will recommend for the rest of my life Western Pacific Catering to anyone getting married anywhere.

Thank you Brad & Jodi!

We can’t thank you enough for making our day special with your delicious food! We did and still continue to hear how amazing everything tasted, truly 10 / 10. Thank you for all the hard work, dedication and guidance through-out the wedding process, we greatly appreciated your perspective during the planning. We had the best wedding, with the best food served by the best family. You guys are awesome, thank you for everything!

Love, Jeff & Brittany

We hosted an outdoor wedding late August 2020. There are many elements required to make an event successful. All are made more difficult in a pandemic. In my view, the caterer is a critical component. Brad, Jodi and crew were fantastic. From the initial site survey (months before the event) to the wedding dinner, they were great. Our expectation is professionalism and excellent food. They checked every box. They said what they would do and then they did it. They allowed us, the hosts, to enjoy our son's wedding.

We had a large rehearsal dinner (40+ people) and a wedding with 160 people eating. A wedding is always a lot of work. Doing it while meeting the state's requirements to do the event during a pandemic, even more so. Brad and Jodi were up on all the safety protocols for serving food to large group. To meet state mandates and have a good event event requires every aspect of the operation to be on point. Our event was very successful. Western Pacific Catering was a big part of that.

They have many menu offerings. We had salmon and sides for the rehearsal dinner. It was superb. We opted for chicken and trip tip as the main course for the wedding. We had a bunch of sides to choose from. We went with the spinach salad w/ walnuts and tangerines, corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, fruit salad and a dinner roll. Everything was excellent. Many of our guests made a point of saying how much they enjoyed the food. Our videographer said she has done many weddings and the food was the best she had eaten. Here is the great part...their pricing is very good!

Much time and effort was put into the event to make sure people enjoyed themselves while we met all the Covid protocols. We were very satisfied with the job they did and the food was ample and absolutely delicious. If we have an event that needs a caterer we will definitely call Western Pacific. I highly recommend them.

Thanks again!

We can’t thank you enough for your hard work and dedication to making our day special with your delicious food! The communication leading up to our day was fantastic, and you were so accommodating to come out and view the set-up prior to the day of the event. Not only was the food delicious, the servings were big too! Multiple guests have commented on how great the food was and many went back for seconds. We can’t thank you enough for being part of our special day and will be recommending you to anyone who is in need of catering going forward!

Thanks again! ~ D&J

Jodi was exceptional to work with! Thorough and accommodating, even with some last minute requests. And oh the food! Our guests raved about the meat and that the green beans were the best they ever had. Plus the presentation was beautiful! I'd highly recommend working with Western Pacific Catering!

Just want to say that you guys did a heck of a job catering for our wedding at Hornings Hideout in July. Everyone at the wedding thought the food was delicious, the service was great, and you guys were super easy to work with! We especially appreciate letting us pay a couple days later than planned as we forgot to bring a check at the wedding. Overall 10/10, if anyone else we know is in need of a more outdoorsy catering service, we'll be sure to recommend you!

Brad and Jodi,

We were completely satisfied with the dinner that you prepared for our 150 guests. The tri-tip was done to perfection and the grilled salmon was juicy and delicious. The sides were great, also. We appreciated your willingness to work with us on the menu on short notice. You came through with flying colors!

Thank you. You're the best!

Jodi was the best thing to happen to my wedding! They made it so easy for us I didn’t have to worry about a thing! The day of the wedding they got there and did their thing and I will remember their food for the rest of my life that’s how amazing it was! The food was so good it’s a month later and I’m still hearing from my guests how good it was!

The only thing I regret is they don’t have a restaurant and if they did I’d be eating there all the time! Not only was the food good but these are just amazing people and great to work with my wedding turned out so great and a lot of that is due to them and their commitment to making it a good day for us! We had the tri-tip and bbq chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy with salad and rolls and not one bit of it wasn’t amazing! Everything was so fresh the meat was so good, the potatoes and gravy makes me want more every day!

When I say I’m going to dream about this food I mean it! Jodi please open a restaurant you're too good!!!

I cannot say enough great things about Western Pacific Catering! The food was SO delicious! The presentation and professionalism was superb! All of our wedding guests couldn’t stop raving over how great the food was, and they’re still talking about it! I would highly recommend Jodi and her husband for your next event!

You catered my son's wedding (Nick and Sandy James). The tri-tip and salmon you made are both STILL being talked about by the foodies of my family!! My granddaughter has had eating issues and went back twice to your buffet. I will highly recommend your catering services. You definitely have it down!!

Jodi and family did our wedding 9/9/2017, it was amazing. They were so easy to work with and exceeded every expectation. We have been hearing from guests how great the food was still weeks later. Western Pacific also catered our brunch the next day and that was equally awesome. They were great for our venue since we needed a caterer that could be completely self contained. The grills were set up and smoking when we arrived and all the food was hot! I can't recommend them more!

Our event turned out fantastic! Jodi and her team were able to take our ideas and create exactly what we were looking for. It was a variety of finger food, deliciously prepared with a lovely presentation. We couldn't have been happier with the results. Lots of compliments from people attending about how nicely everything was done and how great the food was. We will definitely use Western Pacific Catering for our catering needs in the future.

I would highly recommend them for any event.

Thank you!

My husband and I were looking for a caterer for our wedding, the only thing that we were dead set on was that it had to be BBQ. We had the hardest time trying to find a place until we unexpectedly found Western Pacific Catering on our venue's website. I called Jodi right away and crossed my fingers that our date was still available. She was incredibly easy to work with from scheduling, to questions about food, to the day of the event. Jodi was great at responding to emails and even spent time with me on the phone hashing out last minute details.

Now to the day of the wedding, they showed up when they said they would and set up in the exact place we discussed. Everyone was thrilled to see open BBQs full of delicious smelling tri-tip and chicken. Both Brad and Jodi approached Gabe and I at different times to make sure we were going to get a chance to eat. It was so nice to have such authentic friendly folks to work with.

The tri-tip was on point and probably my favorite thing I ate that night, it even trumped my cake - LOL. Close in second was the garlic mashed potatoes, wow! It's been a couple/few weeks since the wedding and I'm still hearing how delicious the food was from my family and friends. We had tri-tip, BBQ chicken, mixed greens salad, corn, garlic mashed potatoes and rolls w/ butter.

Great food, great service, great people! I highly recommend them!!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of playing in the Neskowin Beach Golf Course community tournament and it culminated in a banquet on Sunday night. The meal was so exceptional I made a point of finding out who put it on: Western Pacific Catering. I believe it was one of the best catered meals I have ever eaten. They fed 150 people so fast and well, with two lines moving easily thru a logical and practical layout, that there was only a short wait in line.

The menu was green salad, mashed potatos, brown gravy with mushrooms, dinner rolls, sliced pork & sliced beef. Here's the real deal: the salad was cold and all the rest was hot for everyone, even for those of us returning for seconds (and there were a lot of us)! no lukewarm food! The meats were being sliced to order for every diner. When everyone was full, there was still more of EVERYTHING available! That never happens in my experience. Another important note: lots of real butter and a very nice horseradish sauce for the meats. Speaking of the meats, both the pork and the beef sliced easily with a plastic knife. They were that good!

Just when it couldn't get any better, they brought out the homemade blackberry cobbler, vanilla ice cream, AND REAL WHIP CREAM. Again, as much as anyone wanted; they never ran out!

Everyone on staff seemed to work effortlessly and with a smile. If I need catering, I'll know where to find it.

Brad and Jodi,

I just want to thank you for the fantastic meal and exceptional service you gave us for our daughter's wedding. You guys are top notch and went above and beyond when it came to accommodating our specific needs and unique wishes. We heard nothing but positive comments from our friends and family at the wedding regarding the quality of your food and your wonderful service with a smile!

Thank you again!

Western Pacific Catering agreed to cater our wedding on a last minute notice (at least in the wedding world). Our "Plan A" fell through and at that point we were desperate for a caterer. In the end, I am so glad we got to serve their food at our wedding. It was delicious! We had so many rave reviews. The buffet table was beautifully yet simplistically set up. The chicken was tender as was the beef. The green beans were perfectly cooked, the salad perfectly dressed and OMG the mashed potatoes!

My French mother was very impressed by the quality of the food and the skills of the cooks, so that says a lot. Jodi told me how much pride she took in her product and it really shows!

Great job guys!

Western Pacific Catering recently catered my wedding and it was amazing! The food was great, the best wedding food I've ever had! The owners are awesome; they do whatever they can to accommodate to your venue and your vision. They take such pride in their food and work. You won't find a better caterer for your wedding. Everyone in my family loved the food. I would pick them a hundred times over again and will recommend them to everyone I know!

On November 14th, my husband and I attended our 5th wedding in the past 4 months. The food prepared by Western Pacific Catering at last Saturday's wedding was as good as any meal you would order at a fancy restaurant in Portland. It was served by some of the nicest people you could ever meet.

The food was amazing, great flavor, hot and the salads were fresh. There were never any empty bowls on the catering line; the staff was quick to replace with new servings as soon as one would begin to empty. Thank you for an amazing dinner!

Our daughter's wedding this summer (2015) was catered by Western Pacific Catering. Brad and Jody were easy to work with from beginning to end. They were very helpful in preparing for the big day. There were no surprises and we were very pleased.

They arrived early on our warm summer day. The barbecue tri- tip was cooked at the venue and smelled so good. The meal was amazing and there was plenty of food for seconds and leftovers.

I have never been involved with feeding hundreds of people before. Everyone I talked to loved their meal. We plan to use them again! One more girl to go.
Thank you, Thank you

The McKillip’s have catered our fundraiser for the past five years and every year has been amazing! The food is always fantastic and service is the best. Brad and Jodi are truly great people and this comes through at our event! We always have folks asking if we are using the same caterers because the food is just that good.

They are always on-time, communicate perfectly, and will do whatever it takes to ensure your event goes as planned (even if there is 6” of snow on the ground and the start time is changed the day before). We cannot thank them enough for their continued support of our organization and we are proud to call them our only caterers!

Trust us, you cannot go wrong if you choose Western Pacific Catering.

Dear Brad and Jodi,

Thank you so much for catering our company picnic. The food was excellent and no one went home hungry. I would love to work with you in the future; I was thoroughly impressed, as was the rest of our company.

On behalf of Crimson Trace, thank you!

That was the best food we've ever eaten at a wedding - ever!

Brad and Jodi,

Hi Jodi we absolutely loved the food. We heard back from a lot of people and they loved the food as much as we did. Thank you for making it wonderful and easy! We will be definitely be referring people to you guys. : )

Thanks again!

Wow! The BBQ steaks came hot off the grill and right to our plates. The tenderness and flavor surpassed anything I've ever had before.

Dear Brad and Jodi,

Many many thanks again for the outstanding dinner you prepared for Terry. We so appreciate everything you did for us. There is a special place in our hearts for you two special people.

We were so pleased with the food!!!!! EVERYONE raved about it. You are so professional and fun to work with as well. And what a spread you put out. Jodi, everyone raved about the meat and potatoes. This was one of the things Maggie really wanted on the menu and you came through in a big way.

As you plan a wedding, you have this thought that if it all worked out perfectly it would look like this. So thank you so much! I would recommend you in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much. Everyone is raving about the food at our wedding. I have given out your info to multiple people and am sure I will get many more requests. If you ever need a reference, you are more than welcome to give people my number. We had such a magical evening.

With Love,

Brad and Jodi,

What can I say? Wow! You two are amazing. We would not be able to have the 8th grade celebration without you. Your generosity is so very much appreciated!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything. You two rock.

Dear Brad and Jodi,

Thank you so much for all of your hard work in making our wedding perfect. We really appreciate you taking the time to tour the venue ahead of time and make sure we had accounted for everything we needed.

Your whole team went above and beyond and we are so grateful. Our guests are still raving about the food from the wedding, as are we! It was exactly what we pictured and was arranged beautifully in the chapel. Thank you again and feel free to use us as a reference; we are still singing your praises to everyone!

Dear Brad,

Once again, thank you for your support of our annual chicken BBQ. Your constant support of this event over the years is never forgotten and always appreciated.

Again, our thanks.

Hi Brad and Jody!

This is Natasha from last night's wedding. I just wanted to say it was a pleasure and honor working with you last night. I love everything your business stands for!

I hope we can keep in contact with each other! I would work a wedding with you for nothing just so I could have the pleasure of working with you again! Take me up on it sometime :) I wish you all the best!!
