About Us

Fireseed Catering founders Dave and Dawn Noble share a 30-year story that takes them from the heart of the country to both coasts, bringing their mutual passion for good food along the way.

Having both been raised in the Midwest with experience in the restaurant industry, Dave and Dawn found themselves graduating from New York’s Culinary Institute of America (CIA) together in 1996. They were married shortly thereafter and, upon completing an honorary fellowship at CIA, the couple moved to Chicago for a stint in corporate dining. By 1999, they moved to Wisconsin and opened a successful restaurant.

Four years later, Dave and Dawn discovered Washington State. That was all it took. They returned to Milwaukee just long enough to sell their house, business and car, and moved to the beautiful south end of Whidbey Island.

For over two decades they have hosted events on their property, Dave and Dawn have worked diligently to add personal touches to every aspect of the wedding experience.

Much of the venue has been created by their own two hands, and is a tribute to their mastery of renovating a blank space into something exquisite.

Recently, they have become mini-horse and chicken owners, and with an ever-growing property, they continue to put their passions for gardening, building and creating handcrafted elements to use.

down to basics

Fireseed derives its name from the elementals:  

  • The basics of cooking, which is fire; and
  • The basics of foodstuff, or seeds.

Within these basics lie the secrets to flavors that are often lost in our fast-food world.

Since Fireseed Catering was founded, Dawn has renewed her skills as an accomplished pastry chef. She shows off her talents with creative chocolate work, stunning wedding cakes and local berry pies. Dave spends most days creating original dishes with a Pacific Northwest flair that is ignited by your own personal vision.

Together, they can produce a wide variety of menus, whether the meal is family style or buffet as well as the hors d’oeuvres, Dave and Dawn shine with food and tables overflowing with variety, color and most important of all, flavor.
