    Awesome Food

    We had RTC cater our wedding and the food was awesome! All our guests loved the food! I wanted and got a taco bar and my husband got a chicken dish and a salmon dish to give people a choice. It was all amazing!

    Doug was a pleasure to work with! He answered my million question I had and the staff was also amazing! My guests raved about the food and service. They really helped our big day come out beautifully. You will not be disappointed. Food was great and great hospitality.

    RTC catered our wedding this past April - and they did a phenomenal job. Colleen was extremely responsive, and a pleasure to work with. We were able to try the different food options at multiple open houses. The food was delicious, and our guests had great things to say about it! The team was very professional, and the food was cooked perfectly.

    Hiring RTC was a wonderful decision that ended up saving us thousands of dollars.

    I opted to use RTC because I just couldn't afford paying over $20/ person. I am so glad I went with them! Their food was great and their staff were super professional, even before the day ever came. Colleen was super responsive and willing to change my order many times before the day come. She provided lots of insight and suggestions. I couldn't have made it through this process without her!

    I only wish I had been able to taste some of their food beforehand, but I sadly missed all of their tasting events before our wedding day. I actually loved all of the food except the vegetables, which were supposed to be grilled, but instead looked like a pile of brown mush. They tasted fine, but just didn't look very appetizing. Otherwise, the salmon and chicken piccata were both fabulous, along with the garlic mashed potatoes. Definitely hire these guys!!!

    AMAZING. I received many compliments on Renton Tech. Francisco and his team were absolutely fabulous. They were so helpful on my wedding day. The day after I got married, my mother got married and Francisco was there again to help! We are both extremely pleased with his services. The food was amazing, the staff was amazing, the cake was beautiful (the color ended up being a little off on the right shade).

    I would definitely use again. So happy with Renton Tech. Thanks!!

    Renton Tech Catering was amazing at my wedding!! They showed up on time, the staff was on top of their game and cleaning up after my guests! The food was yummy! Our guest were able to bring home the leftovers with the to-go-containers I provided. Colleen, the main person I've speaking with up until the day of the wedding was very very helpful and very prompt to all my emails. She was exceptionally helpful and nice. I'm so so happy that I went with Renton Tech Catering!!!

    They provided an amazing dinner! Cleaned up after the fact and were very professional! Plus, it was cheaper in cost than a lot of other caterers we looked at.

    RTC did an amazing job, the food was delicious, way better than any of the tastings we had gone to for expensive caterers. The students dressed professionally (all in black), did an amazing job plating and serving. We got so many compliments on our food, no one knew or would have guessed that we had students! I highly recommend them, we had a plated dinner, with a starter and salad, plus 3 passed appetizers for 50, and we spent under $1700, the best value and excellent food!

    We absolutely loved working with Renton Technical College's catering department. You can't beat the price for their catering services and the food is actually REALLY good. Our guests were surprised to actually have GOOD wedding food. They never ceased to tell us how good it was. We were very happy with our experience working with Colleen when coordinating our catering plans. She was very flexible and willing to do whatever we wanted, even if it wasn't normally on the menu. They provided plates, utensils, napkins, and tablecovers for our wedding day (at a minimal additional charge). There was plenty of food at the wedding for guests to have seconds and even thirds if they wanted.

    We also ordered our cake from them. The cake turned out beautifully and tasted fantastic! One setback however was that the hosts from Renton Tech must not have gotten the memo that with our cake order, it also included cake plates. So one of the staff members had to run to the local Safeway to purchase some floral paper cake plates.

    We ordered a 3 tiered cake to display and a sheet cake to cut and serve in the back. We ordered a white cake with strawberry filling for the tiered cake and chocolate for the sheet cake. Unfortunately the servers hosting the wedding didn't know they were two different kinds of cake, so they cut up the whole tiered cake before someone told them we had chocolate cake in the back! So guests ended up helping themselves to two servings of cake, white to start, and chocolate to follow up. Fortunately we ordered enough that there was plenty to spare even after everyone had seconds.

    Despite the minor bumps, our experience with Renton Technical College Catering was phenomenal. We are so happy with how everything turned out and would use them again if we had the chance!

    Renton Technical College (RTC) has an incredible culinary arts program. The catering services they provide are professional and reasonably priced, and the food is delicious! The catering coordinator will work with you to develop a menu - if you have a theme, they can follow it; if you have no idea what kind of food you will serve, they make excellent suggestions. (Linens can also be reserved through RTC. This was my only area of concern - not all of the tablecloths matched and there were not many options for color and size. I definitely still recommend the use of the catering services, though.)

    Very very friendly service. The manager will respond back pretty quickly. My only complaint is that they don't offer food tasting. I was disappointed with the taste and the quality of the food that day. But the price was unbeatable. I would recommend only to brides who are on a real tight budget and is not picky about the taste or the presentation of the food.

    I worked with Collene and she was wonderful to work with. She was very helpful to me with the wedding planning. On the day of the Caters were scheduled to arrive at 230 and when I showed up at 3 they still had not showed up. My sister that was there before hand said she was trying to call the emergnacy line and no one was answering and same with the college. We had no idea if they were going to show but they did at 330 and said they were stuck in traffic. On monday I recieved and email from her saying the point was they made it there and she would take off that hour labor charge. Up till then all her emails were very personalized and thought the email was rude and inconsiderate.

    First I will say RTC had good food, an excellent price, professional servers, and was great to work with before and during the wedding. However I was disappointed with Colleen's response after the wedding when there was a problem.
    We were under the impression that the plastic plates they provided was a nicer china look alike, along with silver look alike plastic utensils. I have an e-mail were I asked about the type of plastic they provided and that was the only type described to me (along with giving me the option of paying more for real china rentals). When we went to the tasting it was the only plates and utensils we were shown. But on the day of the wedding what we got was plain black utensils and ugly recyclable brown/beige-ish plates. I was extremely disappointed and upset that we weren't getting what we had been led to believe we would get. The chef/servers that were at the reception where very nice and apologetic about and and told me they would talk to Colleen about the problem.
    A few days later I was contacted by Colleen saying something along the lines of 'Heard everything went great at your wedding, what card should I charge the remaining balance to?' To which I replied that we were actually not entirely happy and explained the problem. Later she replied that she had heard about the incident, but that we had stated we wanted the free plates and those ones were free. When I replied with the e-mail I had talking about the plates she said that she did not have that e-mail (I feel she was accusing me of lying) and that the plates we thought we were getting cost more. While exchanging these e-mails she charged the remaining amount to my card.
    Though I understand that we need to pay for the service we got, I feel like she was entirely unapologetic about the mix up, and it would have been more professional for her to not charge us until the matter had been resolved. Which it still hasn't.
    Very Disappointed with the aftermath. Very poor problem handling.
