Lisa Dupar Catering
Lisa Dupar Catering is a Seattle-based wedding caterer known for creating celebrations that feel personal, polished, and expertly managed from start to finish. Rooted in Pacific Northwest hospitality and led by Chef Lisa Dupar, our team brings more than 40 years of catering and event experience to weddings throughout Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Woodinville, and the greater Washington wedding community.
We believe exceptional wedding catering begins with understanding what matters most to you. From the first conversation, our team takes the time to learn your vision, priorities, traditions, guest experience, and the feeling you want your celebration to have. Whether you are planning an intimate gathering, a waterfront reception, a garden wedding, or a full-scale celebration, we create menus and service plans that feel refined, approachable, and true to your day.
Our scratch-made, seasonal menus highlight the best of the Pacific Northwest while drawing inspiration from global flavors, family traditions, and the unique personality of each event. Couples can choose from plated dinners, family-style meals, active food stations, cocktail receptions, late-night bites, specialty cakes, sweets, and curated bar packages — all thoughtfully designed around the style, pace, and flow of the celebration.
What makes Lisa Dupar Catering different is the balance of culinary experience, polished service, and seamless event execution. We bring the organization and attention to detail expected from a trusted Seattle wedding caterer, while keeping the planning process collaborative, clear, and personal. From dietary needs and cultural traditions to menu design, service style, and guest experience, every detail is handled with intention so you and your guests can relax, connect, and enjoy a wedding that feels distinctly your own. We would be honored to help bring your celebration to life.
