Testimonials

Hi Shane,  I hope you've recovered from the heat and are enjoying this cooler weather (although I bet the heat isn't as bad when you're out on the water). David and I have been reminiscing about our wedding day over the last week and really just wanted to say thank you! From our tasting to the big day, you and your team were so great to work with. We received so many compliments on the food and service provided during our reception. It is really a testament to the time and effort you put into your catering.  Hopefully our paths will cross again on the water or in the mountains!  All the best,

“Shane and his staff at Four and Twenty Blackbirds did a very nice job planning, creating and serving a Welcome Dinner for 30 guests on the weekend of our son's wedding in Hood River. The food was delicious and interesting. We wanted a very casual meal without the need for table space for all and he made bowls with jerk chicken and/or grilled salmon and the sides to complement. We had beautiful fruit tarts for dessert and our guests really enjoyed the menu. The team made it so easy for me to interact with guests and they took care of all of the details in a professional and relaxed way. I'd choose this situation again in a heartbeat!”

“We had a "welcome night" for guests coming to my sons wedding at Wy'East Vineyards - Shane and his staff were the caterers for the event and helped us create a magical evening. The food was excellent and Shane and his staff were very professional. Highly recommend their services.”

“Shane and his staff knocked it out if the park for our wedding. We live in the area and have had food at the truck a few times that was delicious so chose him to feed around 80 guests. Wow! The food was truly one of the best meals I have had and not just at a wedding. It was one of the best ever. All of the guests raved about the food. My new husband said the short rib was the best he has ever tasted. The chicken was so tender and seasoned perfectly. The veggies and potatoes were excellent. I loved the peach caprese salad and wish I had more! The food is fresh and most is locally sourced. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Shane was wonderful to work with and I definitely want to eat more of his cooking.
I hope that next year we can have a dinner party and have him cook for it!”

“We were lucky to have Shane and his professional crew cater our wedding with their amazing food! We could not have been happier with the quality of the food, the deliciousness of it all, and the incredible service that 4&20 blackbirds provided. They catered for our wedding event for three days and were exceptional in every way. I have never had better food at any wedding, it is all locally procured and excellently prepared by Shane and his staff. We are very grateful to them for helping us to create a fabulous and memorable experience. I would recommend doing the tasting dinner with Shane if you can. It was a fun way to choose our menus and have our questions answered. I came way knowing we were in excellent hands.”

“Shane and his team made a trip to Cottonwood Canyon State Park to cater an event for my organization, and we couldn't have been happier with the meal! They were easy to communicate with and flexible with our requests and dietary restrictions. The team was wonderful to have on site and careful not to disrupt our meeting as they prepped the food. Our staff and guests raved about the quality of the food they were able to provide at the park. We will be keeping them in our rotation for catered events in the future!”

“Hi Kyla and Shane, We wanted to reach out and tell you how amazing our experience was working with you.  Your team was incredible and the food was phenomenal (we had so many guests tell us how delicious it was).  It truly was one of the highlights of our wedding. Thank you for all of your hard work and enduring the heat.  We are so grateful!

"Shane and Kathryn helped make our first motherhood Supper such a beautiful success. Their display of freshly picked food from local farms and gardens was so creative and lovely. Perfect for a summer evening for 50 mothers to have an evening our and feel special. Everyone really enjoyed the farm to table meal and I can't thank them enough."

"Shane has been absolutely fabulous to work with. He's very knowledgeable about cancer and cancer related diets. He's been more than accommodating to our requests and special needs. Best of all, his food is delicious and his rates are affordable. Having to not worry about shopping and food preparation has taken a huge stress off our shoulders and we look forward to his delicious meals and unique menu every week. He's been a shining light in a very difficult and challenging time in our lives."
