Weddings in the Methow
Our catering partner

Twisp River Catering

Full-service and drop-off catering for weddings, rehearsal dinners, welcome parties and brunches across the Methow Valley, from the team reopening the Twisp River Tap House in Twisp. Full menus and details live at twisprivercatering.com.

Valley-rooted menus

Food your guests will talk about

Menus lean into what the kitchen does best: house-smoked brisket, pork and chicken; Columbia River steelhead; Asian-fusion bowls and pastas; pretzel bites and queso; elevated appetizers; strong vegetarian and vegan options; and scratch desserts. Valley produce, meats and cherries go on the menu when quality, season and price line up.

Service styles include buffet, family-style, stations and plated dinners, plus drop-off for casual events. Bar packages range from local beer and wine to premium full bars with signature cocktails, served by licensed bartenders.
