Kimi B. replied:
First Down Catering has true Texas Smoked BBQ and its the best. Bryan Lipscy and First Down Catering team up for BBQ.
Stefan B. replied:
Personally, I always try to recommend companies that "pay back" into their local areas. These folks are always there for their communities: * Flowers by Karen, Turtletraxx Entertainment Services, Big Dog Music, JD the DJ and Bryan Lipscy are a few that I know of (not that there aren't others).
Bryan L. replied:
I will say First Down Catering makes great BBQ. Their baked beans are outstanding as is their pulled pork. Aaron and Kimi Brown run a fantastic local operation. I would hire these folks to cater my parties. Stefan: Thank you for the compliments. I am no longer catering parties.
Amber B. replied:
Paula Peak Wine Knot is a great place to um...tie the knot! Summer wedding would be fabulous there!
Emily W. replied:

Stefan B. replied:
Join the Snohomish Wedding Guild for networking. The wedding tour is coming up on June 1. Talk to Cindy at French Creek Manor (venue & catering). Open house is every Wednesday 6-8 pm. Flowers by Karen Gaastra McIntosh is my recommendation. And without going into "who's best of what" (very subjective and we all do different things), we're a fulltime professional entertainment company (Turtletraxx Entertainment Services), however, Jerry Dixon at Big Dog Music (also owns/operates the hot dog stand in Sultan), JD the DJ and Daniel Baller at Forever Yours Music in Gold Bar are the only other local DJs. And don't forget the live music/band option. Check with the folks at Players Music on Main Street.
