    Huge hit for our wedding!

    My husband and I hired Erica to make a grazing board at our 72 person wedding. Erica was so easy and nice to communicate and book with. Most importantly the grazing table was incredible! It was so beautiful and so tasty. It was the perfect addition for our wedding. Would 10/10 hire her again for another event!

    Excellent Experience

    We had an excellent experience with Boards by Erica. You can tell that she is very knowledgeable about food and the guest experience, but she also really listened to my ideas and preferences. The boards for our event were better than I could have imagined and everything was delicious. My friends and family are still talking about how beautiful the charcuterie boards were. I cannot recommend Boards by Erica enough.

    This might sound cheesy, but Erica is grate.

    I've worked with Erica on numerous catering events over the years, she's always been a delight to work with and I was SO excited when she announced that she was going to open her own board business because charcuterie boards are my favorite - and often something I ordered from the restaurants she previously cheffed at. As of my writing this review, she has done a beautiful grazing table for a wedding I planned, and has dropped off a couple of charcuterie / crudité platters for bridal and bridal party "getting ready" suites. I look forward to working with her many, many more times as her presentation is impeccable, she knows the right combos of cheese / meats / nuts / jams / crunchies / whatevers to put together, and she's just a really cool lady/chef.

    Gorgeous and Delicious Charcuterie!

    Absolutely loved the charcuterie spread from Boards by Erica at our wedding! It was beautifully presented with a fantastic selection of cheeses, meats, and spreads. Our guests couldn't get enough of it! Chef Erica was so thoughtful in helping us put together the grazing tables we imagined and was a total professional in pulling it all together on our special day. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful grazing table

    The grazing table was the star of the wedding food! Everyone loved the idea, and everything on the board was amazing. High quality products and beautifully set up, I would recommend to anyone 10/10!!!


Absolutely! We’re happy to accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences. We can even create partial or fully customized vegetarian or vegan menus. Just let us know what you need—we’ll make sure everything is delicious and diet-friendly!
We recommend booking at least 3-6 months in advance to secure your date. However, we take pride in being able to accommodate last-minute bookings if we are able to. If you're on a tight timeline, please don't hesitate to contact us. We’ll do our best to fit you in!
We typically don’t charge a delivery fee for events within our service area in Seattle. However, for smaller orders or events outside our service area, an additional delivery fee may apply. We will always let you know about that ahead of time. We also offer pickup options upon request, if that works better for you.
We typically recommend meeting at least once before your event to discuss your vision, menu preferences, estimated headcount, and go over any event logistics. That said, we’re always happy to stay in touch and keep the communication flowing right up until your booking!
We sure do —we’re all about getting creative! While charcuterie boards and grazing tables are some of our most popular offerings, we also whip up custom cups, boxes, boards, and grazing tables for just about any theme you can dream up. Think breakfast grazing tables with bagels and lox, Mexican-inspired cups with chips, guac, and elote, or dessert boards piled high with sweet treats and chocolate-dipped fruit. If you’ve got a vision, we’re here to bring it to life—flavorfully and fabulously!
We cater to all kinds of special moments—big and small! Whether you're planning a party, date night, girls' night, or corporate event, we’ve got the perfect spread to elevate the occasion. Celebrating with loved ones? We’d be honored to be part of your proposal, engagement party, bridal/baby showers, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or anniversary! We specialize in catering weddings across the PNW region. But we truly love bringing a personalized touch to any event!
Absolutely! We’re happy to help you figure out the perfect amount of food based on your guest count, event style, and timing. Whether you’re looking for a light bite during cocktail hour or a full grazing experience to anchor your event, we’ll recommend the right amount of food to make sure everyone leaves satisfied and impressed.
I graduated from culinary school at Johnson & Wales University and spent 12+ years cooking in fine dining kitchens across the East Coast. Mastering a range of cuisines, I worked my way up as a leader in the kitchens I cooked in, serving as Chef de Cuisine in the fine dining industry. In 2019, I competed on the Food Network’s Chopped (season 41), where I progressed to the final round and was awarded first runner-up. After moving to the beautiful Pacific Northwest in 2022, I decided to pursue my dream of starting my own catering company - hence the creation of Boards by Erica.
