Find a Wedding Planner in Picnic Point-North Lynnwood

I hired Navi to cater my wedding on 8/12/16.  He and his team did an excellent job and the food was outstanding.  Although there were some communications issues and he was late to the wedding, all things considered, I'd hire him again.How I learned about Navi was through Thumbtack.com. I was searching for a strong but affordable caterer for my wedding and didn't think it was possible due to the low budget we had.  I submitted my request through Thumbtack and heard back from Navi the next day.  He offered to meet with me and negotiate the price.  Navi offered to come to my home and arrived in his executive chef jacket from his "day job" at a local hotel.  He presented his ID and business license.  Navi was warm and friendly.  He asked what kind of food we wanted, and I said Italian.  I told him the budget we had and how many people.  He said he could give us penne with two sauces, caesar salad, chicken madeira, and garlic bread for 110 people with our low budget.  I was amazed.  He required a deposit and contract, of course.  The remaining balance was due two weeks before the wedding, and we met at a coffee shop.  We finalized details then.Navi hadn't been to the venue we used before and said he would go there in advance to check it out.  He offered to provide ice for the drinks, which we were providing.  I provided the dessert separately.We had our dinner buffet style, and we did all of the table set-up/teardown and provided our own dinnerware and glassware.  Navi had professional chaffing dishes and set up the buffet so it was going on both sides of the table for speed and convenience.The food was really good, especially the sauce used for the chicken.  The penne was simple pasta out of a box and boiled, not homemade, but the tomato sauce I had with it was good.  The salad was excellent with the right amount of seasoning and fresh parmesan.  I'm not a fan of garlic bread so I didn't eat any of that, but my guests told me everything was great.  Many people got seconds and raved about the food.  This was good food for what was expected.Navi told me that he would be at our wedding for 2 hours after dinner started so people could enjoy then he would clean up.My only critique is that Navi needs to improve on communication. I emailed items to Navi a couple of times during planning and didn't hear back.  I had to text and ask for confirmation, and he told me he was having issues with his emails.  Also, he forgot that in our first meeting, he was including chicken and I had to remind him in our second meeting when he gave me a printed menu and had forgotten it.The other thing I learned from my husband is that Navi and his team were 45 minutes late to the wedding.  They busted it out to get everything set up in the nick of time and luckily, the catering was set up in the basement while all of the guests were on the main floor.Food: 4Service: 4

I got married on June 30th and I couldn't of picked a better person to do my flowers. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous from our bridal bouquets to the boutonnière's to our center pieces. Her attention to detail and bringing your vision to life is uncanny. At my reception I kept getting asked where did you get your flowers from and my wedding photographer even wanted to network with her and recommend her to other clients looking for flowers. I still can't get over how amazing my flowers were and they were a huge part of making my day so classy and elegant. If you're looking for wedding flowers Von is your girl, please do yourself a favor and go with Von Galt Flowers. Amazing work, craftsmanship, detail, creative and more. My succulents in the bridal bouquet idea even came to life and I can't recommend her enough! Thank you Von!!
