Our Story​
​
A love of good food—and of each other—inspired Joel and Britta Jackson to create Twist Catering Company, a full-service catering experience rooted in thoughtful cuisine and genuine hospitality.
​
Chef Joel’s culinary journey began after earning his degree in culinary arts from Spokane Community College. He honed his craft working long hours in respected restaurant kitchens throughout the Pacific Northwest, including Daniel’s Broiler, Portage Bay Café, Aqua by El Gaucho, The Space Needle, and The Black Duck. These experiences shaped his commitment to refined flavors, elevated presentation, and consistency at scale.
Britta’s background began in hospitality as well, working in fast-paced hotels and restaurants where she developed a deep understanding of service, logistics, and guest experience. It was there she discovered her true passion—weddings—and went on to launch her wedding planning company, Britta’s Brides.
​
As Joel spent long days and nights in the kitchen and Britta built her planning business, they realized they were missing time together—and saw an opportunity to combine their strengths. By blending Joel’s culinary expertise with Britta’s eye for detail and event flow, Twist Catering was born.
​​
Over time, their shared vision expanded beyond catering. That vision became Jackson Manor Events, their garden wedding venue in Arlington, Washington—allowing them to offer couples a seamless experience rooted in quality, service, and intentional design.
Today, Twist Catering exists to create dining experiences that feel effortless, elevated, and memorable—where exceptional food and thoughtful service come together to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments.
​
Our mission is simple: to deliver an unparalleled experience through quality, service, and presentation—every time.
Our Philosophy
At Twist Catering, we believe exceptional food should feel both elevated and effortless. Every menu is designed with intention—balancing flavor, presentation, and flow—so guests feel cared for without distraction.
We take a collaborative approach, guiding our clients through thoughtful selections while ensuring service remains seamless from start to finish. Rather than overwhelming you with options, we curate menus that reflect your vision and enhance the overall experience of the event.
​
Our goal is simple: to create dining experiences that feel polished, personal, and unforgettable.
