Alright Tacoma, let's be real—planning a late-summer wedding is basically signing up for advanced-level chaos. You thought June weddings were stressful? Please. Late-summer weddings are like the season finale of reality TV shows—dramatic, unpredictable, and everyone’s crying. Your bridesmaids have heatstroke, your cousin Tara showed up in white (bold move, Tara), and the groomsmen are sweating through tuxedos faster than you can say “I do.”

But let’s get real for a minute—aside from that whole lifetime commitment thing, what's the one thing people actually care about at a wedding? The food. Yep, that's right. Not your vows, not your DIY centerpieces—it's what’s on their plates that people are gonna remember. Do you want to be known as the bride who served lukewarm chicken? Of course not. That’s where we come in. This late summer, Tacoma, West Hill Deli’s catering is gonna make your wedding unforgettable—for all the right reasons.


Why Catering Matters More Than Ever for Late-Summer Weddings

Let’s talk facts. You ever been at a wedding in late summer when the heat index hits triple digits and the salmon starts smelling questionable before they even serve it? It's not cute. Late-summer weddings need catering that keeps people cool, fed, and happy—because nobody wants Aunt Deb fainting during your first dance.

Here’s why professional catering is your new best friend:

1. Nobody Wants Hot and Heavy Food

Seriously, heavy, greasy food at a late-summer wedding is a one-way ticket to nap city. Keep it fresh, keep it delicious, and keep Aunt Deb upright. Trust me, your guests will thank you.

2. You’ve Got Enough Drama Already

Wedding drama is inevitable—don't let food be part of it. With professional catering, you eliminate kitchen meltdowns, forgotten dishes, and guests whispering about your food choices behind your back. It’s the peace of mind you didn’t know you needed.

3. Happy Guests = Happy Bride

Food makes people happy. Period. Serve your guests something amazing, and they’ll forgive you for everything else—like seating them next to Cousin Tara.


West Hill Deli’s Late-Summer Wedding Menu: Tacoma’s Finest

Let’s talk dishes, Tacoma. West Hill Deli doesn’t mess around. We’re bringing wedding food that’s more memorable than your uncle’s dance moves (and trust me, those are hard to forget).

Starters That Actually Start the Party

Kick things off right—without making your guests wait through three hours of photos to eat something tasty.

  • Lumpia (Filipino Spring Rolls): Crispy, savory bites that vanish faster than single men when the bouquet toss starts.

  • Garlic Shrimp Skewers: Elegant grilled shrimp that say “fancy” without being pretentious. Yes, you’re classy now.

  • Mini Pancit Cups: Delicious noodles served neat and stylish—your guests won't stain their wedding attire (looking at you, Uncle Jerry).

Main Courses Worth Marrying

Forget boring chicken or dry fish—we’re talking dishes guests will fall in love with:

  • Adobo Fried Rice & Eggs: Savory, flavorful, and delicious. Think of it as comfort food wearing wedding attire.

  • Crispy Pork Belly: Juicy pork belly with crunchy skin—honestly, your guests might marry this dish instead.

  • Chicken Afritada: Tender chicken simmered with veggies and rich tomato sauce, so good it deserves its own vows.

  • Beef Caldereta: Slow-cooked beef stew that’s hearty without weighing you down. It’s like finding your soulmate—but in stew form.

Side Dishes That Won’t Let You Down

Because wedding sides deserve love, too:

  • Garlic Green Beans: Crisp, flavorful, and fresh. Side dishes so good, guests will ask for seconds instead of complaining.

  • Ube Mashed Sweet Potatoes: Sweet, creamy, and purple. Instagrammable wedding sides? Absolutely.

  • Steamed Jasmine Rice: Fluffy rice that ties your meal together better than your officiant tied your union.

Desserts Sweeter Than Your Love Story

Desserts your guests will actually finish (no cake left behind):

  • Ube Pancakes with Coconut Syrup: Fluffy pancakes, sweet coconut syrup—dessert pancakes because adulting is hard enough.

  • Mini Buko Pandan Cups: Cool, creamy, and refreshing—a tropical escape at your Tacoma wedding.
