Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

Divine Catering is LGBTQ+-owned. For couples seeking caterers who view your wedding as a joyful event rather than a deviation, that is a welcome starting point.

How the team works

Executive Chef Alisa La Furge and Events Manager Joey Pargen create customized dining packages around your wishes. The company caters on location at private events of all shapes and sizes throughout Portland and beyond, and it offers options for guests with dietary restrictions.

Planning your catering

Begin with your guest count, venue and style of service. On-location catering depends on the kitchen setup, so ask what the venue provides and what the team brings. Share dietary needs early, including allergies, vegetarian and vegan guests, so menus can be built around them.

Request a tasting, ask about staffing for your headcount and clarify the timeline from arrival to cleanup. Portland weddings often include outdoor spaces, so discuss the plan for weather.

Questions to ask

Ask for a written proposal, the date for the final headcount and the policy on leftovers and rentals. Confirm how the team coordinates with your venue and other vendors.

Where they work

The company is based in Portland and serves the surrounding area.

Good to ask

Ask whether the quote covers service staff, rentals and cleanup, and how long the team needs to set up before guests arrive. A tasting is a good opportunity to talk through portion sizes and timing for toasts and speeches.
