Our Catering Services

Shake offers two levels of catering services. The first is full service catering that includes on-site servers and freshly made heavy hors d'oeuvres showcasing a beautiful appetizer spread. The option second is more informal if your event just needs a few bites for guests to enjoy. We offer platters that can be brought in and set-up by your bartender, and these do not require additional service staff. Some of our guests like to add a charcuterie board to their bar services and call it a day; other events call for an impressive spread! Our goal is to do our best to source local and sustainable offerings. We then gather and pair these selections, beautify them, and serve them up at your event with a smile. Our catering includes:

Table Signage
Compostable Plates, Napkins & Cutlery

Non-Disposable Rentals
Flower Arrangements

While our service style is ‘Pinterest-y’, other decor options are available to suit your personal or corporate style. Each event is 100% custom, so please let us know a few details about your event so we can customize the menu that fits your occasion and budget perfectly.

We Also Offer Full Bar Services

In addition to catering, our company also offers wholesale purchases and price per drink bar service options in Seattle and surrounding areas. With the wholesale purchase system, our clients keep the leftover alcohol. The other option is a consumption-based system, in which the consumption is tallied and the client is billed for that alcohol only. This method works really well if you don’t want leftover product. It’s also best if you’re unsure of the consumption rates and don’t want to run out. Although these two bar service options are most common, we are here to customize a system that is best for your event!

Shake Bartenders ran our bartending and food service at Facebook Seattle for more than 200 people. I recommend her to other non-profit orgs that need a dependable, competitively priced vendor to run major charity or fundraising events. Tara has a process down which added high-value to our event!—Al Y. (Seattle, WA)

Shake Bartender's fabulous staff took such great care of all of our guests and exceeded our expectations!—Christie M. (Seattle, WA)

I used Shake Bartenders for my 30th High School Reunion this summer on the recommendation from a friend. I worked with Tara for all the logistical aspects of our event and she was so easy to work with and quick to respond to all of my questions.
