Events with flair, finesse, and fun

We will return to providing on-site chef, bartending, and staffing for special events when it’s safe to do so. Until then, we know that your life, your family, or your business will be a little different. We are happy to accommodate you by continuing to provide drop-off catering for individuals, families and businesses.

Fundraising, corporate, and social events are our specialty. We offer full-service catering with customized menus to make your event unique and memorable. Professional bartenders and courteous, expert servers make entertaining easy. Whether you select full service for a plated event with our attentive staff, decor, linens, and china or our Easy Entertaining option for drop-off service, we'll work with you to help meet your vision for your event—and your budget. 

Menus to complement your theme and

dazzle your guests 

From picnics to black tie, in-home parties for close friends to gala dinners for 200 guests, Exuberance Catering will make entertaining easy and your events memorable.

Autumn in the Northwest

Oh, yeah...when the weather cools down and the produce is absolutely gorgeous! This menu is inspired by the fabulous foods of Sauvie Island farms, NW waters, and local dairies. Perfect for a wine-tasting party for 100 or a quiet gathering at home to celebrate fall—or Halloween—in style.

Wild-caught Salmon Cakes with Wasabi Mayo—Chinook salmon, sweet peppers, fresh herbs. Served warm from a chaffer.

Roasted Beets and Bleu Canapés—Sweet roasted beets in a citrus white wine marinade with aged bleu cheese and walnut on toasted baguette slices.

Trio Terrine—A trio of terrific cheeses, perfectly balanced flavors of sweet sun-dried tomato, savory Oregonzola, and scratch-made vibrant pesto with pine nuts. Served with crudite and crisp crackers—it's wine's best friend.

Stylish Fundraising Event—Food as Art

Gifted artist and art educator Ida Galash created a marbled paper-making course for a gala auction for The Madeleine, so we created a marble-inspired buffet for the guests. Click through these images and delight in Chinese Marbled Tea Eggs, Chocolate Marbled Cheesecake with Tiny Edible Gold Marbles, scratch-made Art Swirl Marshmallows, Sea Marbles of Scallops in Minted Pea Puree served on natural scallop shells, and Asparagus and Marbled Bleu Cheese Napoleons.

Elegant Receptions

Our clients include businesses, individuals, and nonprofit agencies. We have created receptions, dinners, luncheons, and picnics for the Oregon Symphony, Portland Opera, Portland Public Schools, American Boat and Yacht Council, Portland Columbia Symphony Orchestra, Strathmore College Alumni, and more. We cater to each event’s uniqueness.

Portland Columbia Symphony Orchestra's search for the perfect artistic director brought together internationally talented conductors, patrons, and musicians for exquisite receptions following their concerts. We used seasonally inspired cuisine for these late-night nibbles.
