Staff and Bios

Chef Anna Gordon: Owner and Executive Chef of Crescent Moon Catering, has worked in the culinary world for well over 20 years, honing and defining her unique style. For 10 years, Chef Gordon has spent time in Los Angeles training with some of the top chefs seen today on television as well as top restauranteurs. She has also had the opportunity to infuse many cultural ingredients into her foods, giving her flavors a bit of an international boost. Her distinct style of cooking combines what many people refer to as “Comfort Foods” with French cooking techniques and an eco conscious approach. Using renewable resources, local produce and meats as much as possible, seasonal selections and organic foods, Chef Gordon encourages the foods she creates to blossom into the delectable bites that she is known for in the industry (numerous culinary awards have been awarded to her, including Best Caterer of the Year, Best Food by a Catererer…etc). However, don’t be thrown off by this approach, Chef Gordon also relishes creating the perfect menu for her clients, catering to their wants and needs and translating her Clients personality through the foods. Chef Gordon prides herself on LISTENING to the Client, working within budgets and creating the feast that they desire. No job is too quaint or too big. Chef Gordon has done events from 10 people for a plated 6 course meal to 300 people for either a buffet style meal or sit down plated service. **WINNER of the Couples Choice Award 9 Years in a Row, Top 5 Best of Western WA 5 years and the Top Caterer on the Peninsula! #ChefAnnaDeliciousness

Kathryn Reed:  Every Client who contacts Crescent Moon Catering gets to know our Amazing Manager and Client Liaison Kat Reed.  From the first contact, the menu planning, through the tasting and to the final Thank You, Kat is THE HOOK UP!  She has been working side by side with Chef Anna for over 7 years and knows both the Culinary World (having graduated with an Associates in Culinary Arts) as well as the Catering World in and out.  Her expansive knowledge of venues, vendors and the details in how to plan a perfect event make her second to none in the industry.  But what elevates her above others is her kindness and her ability to listen and hear what our Clients are looking for or wanting.  That could come from being the mom of a tenacious 8 year old, but, it is a true gift for our Clients.  Kat is able to guide our Clients through the ins and outs of having a catered event, advising on menus, budgeting, rentals and even timing.  Having Kat in our Clients Corner…. Priceless!!

Crescent Moon Catering’s Staff is all about Exceptional Service. We hold the term “Caterer” to what it truly means…to provide what is required or desired. Our Staff is there to make every one of your guests feel special. And we do it with a smile. Laughter is often part of our service.
