We hired 3 Girls for our wedding this past weekend, and everything about the process was easy. We picked up the tasting to heat up at our home, and ordered almost instantly. Lots of communication leading up to the wedding, and were easily able to provide food for our vegan guests. Contact 3G for good food and good service!
I’ve been using 3 Girls Catering for almost as long as they’ve been in Boise! I wouldn’t use anyone else! They’ve done Christmas parties, farm to forks, grazing boxes, summer events, birthdays, biz events, and most importantly, my wedding! You won’t find a harder working team or a more beautiful and delicious spread. They pay attention to details, their food is inventive and seriously gorgeous! Their team will make your day flow seamlessly and your guests will rave about the food. There’s always more than enough and they’re accommodating of veggie eaters, vegans, gluten free, allergies, etc. Gretchen and Lisa have always gone above and beyond and their servers and chefs are fantastic! Highly Highly recommend for any occasion!!
Hired 3 Girls Catering for our wedding, and wow, just WOW! Never mind how delicious and plentiful the food was, but the communication and logistics was what made them special. Planning a wedding is stressful enough but they went above and beyond to take the pressure off us. We really appreciate their professionalism and how smooth their service was at the reception. There's a good chance that the food may have been the hit of our wedding! Thank you Gretchen, Lisa, and Sara as well as your entire staff!
Absolutely the most awful catering experience of our lives! Just about ruined our wedding by running out of food for our guests. Yes, they RAN OUT OF FOOD, so about 10-15 of our guests only received veggies on their plate. The guests that did receive ‘dinner’, got one or two small, thinly sliced pieces of meat. So embarrassing!! And the kicker? Our final count was 75 and we ended up with 66 total so there should’ve been more than enough food for everyone and then some. They were difficult to work with from the very beginning so we should’ve known then and looked elsewhere. Lesson learned! Save yourself the embarrassment and do not hire these people who clearly don’t know what they’re doing. Now we are asking them to do the right thing and provide a partial refund for the food we paid for and did not receive and no one will call us back.
Thank you for your amazing food and being so helpful during our wedding day!!
3 Girls catered my wedding last weekend. They were awesome at the wedding and even helped set up a dessert table (of food that I had brought in from another vendor)! The service was great, they were friendly and helpful. The food itself was delicious. We did all vegetarian/vegan options, and it was super easy because the menu was so extensive so we had plenty of options. The price was fantastic, easily one of the best I found in the Boise area, and the proportions were large. We even had leftovers at the end of the day. Everyone said they really enjoyed their meal, even the meat-lovers who were skeptical of the "beets n oats" burgers. Donalee was quick to respond and we emailed back and forth often leading up the event. I had a great experience with 3 Girls Catering and highly recommend them.
3 Girls catered my wedding last weekend; I worked with Gretchen through the whole process. She was so friendly, so accommodating and made our family-style menu a total dream. She also handled ordering our rentals for us from EventRents of adorable vintage plates and gold flatware, which was so helpful for me since I was planning the wedding from afar. My guests loved the food, which was healthy, filling and delicious - the perfect meal to fuel a crazy night on the dancefloor. Thank you Gretchen and 3 Girls! You all made the night so special.
3 Girls Catering has the most delicious food and they were a huge hit at our wedding! When our wedding venue fell through 3 weeks before our big day, Gretchen stepped in at the last minute to save the day. She was very flexible and fun to work with, and her staff were very attentive to our guests during cocktail hour served hors d'oeuvres and dinner service. She even fed our vendor team so we didn't have to worry about it. My only criticism (and this is a good criticism), is that the portions were very large so we were left with a lot of leftovers. I would recommend ordering less food than guests and still feel confident that nobody will go hungry.
We hired 3 Girls Catering to come to McCall and cater our wedding, buffet style. They were affordable and OMG the food is so delicious!! We were very happy with how it all turned out. They provided 3 different entrees, sides, and even some kids meals that were kept at the end of buffet, clearly labeled so no one would grab them. Throughout dinner, they were very professional and made sure that we as Bride & Groom had everything we needed. At the end of the night, they packed up the leftovers so we could take them home and eat them the next day.
The only thing I'd suggest for improvement is a little bit on communication - this was my first time hiring a caterer, so I didn't know what questions to ask or what to expect. My planner helped me with this part - most importantly, 3 Girls is a little unique from other caterers in that they don't provide tables or linens for their buffet. I didn't realize this, but luckily my planner noticed and we were able to work it out ahead of time. There was also some confusion about serving water for guests - they didn't provide serving (walking around to tables), but they provided a big decanter where guests could go get it themselves.
My original in house caterer cancelled just weeks before the wedding, and 3 Girls came in and completely saved the day!! I can't say enough good things about them. The food was delicious of course, but what meant even more to me was their willingness to go above and beyond to fix all the holes left by the previous caterer and make my wedding day perfect. From the menu to linens to extra tables and place settings...Gretchen thought of everything. None of my guests had any idea this was all done on short notice. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Their catering was fantastic! Everything tasted amazing and we had so many compliments on the food! We would definitely call them again for future catering!
What began as love at first sight, proved to disappoint. After going to their "open house" we instantly loved the food, and the gals and were pleased to easily commit. Through the time leading up to the wedding, the gals made changes that I requested and were very helpful. Come wedding day, our prime rib was raw, as in seared on the outside and highly disappointed. Over 1/2 went home as left overs and well over 1/4 was left on plates uneaten. Veggies with balsamic were rubbery. Potato bar was great, grilled chicken was great. Our pulled pork "sliders" were the size of a half dollar and 1/4 what the ones at the open house were. Tasted great, but far smaller than what I feel they should have been at the price we paid. We paid for lemonade and cucumber water (and requested they be left and I would return the dishes to them on Sunday) and came in cookie jar style containers with ladles (not what I expected) and were taken when the gals left. The girls working the event left without a good bye, or "hey we are cleaning up" so I wasn't able to tip them. Personally the girls preformed their jobs greatly, with cutting the cake for us and busing tables, the food was the point of disappointment. Food was so so important to us, and this was the only point of disappointment and stress. I will be one of those who had "such a beautiful and extravagant wedding, but the terrible food". The more reviews I write, the more it saddens me. Paying $27/person, plus 22% "prep" fees seemed decent, I expected "decent" food to match it.
This caterer provided us with REALLY excellent food for our wedding, and the wait-staff was very polite and professional.
My only issue was with the communication problems that occured leading up to the wedding. Our champagne order was not placed in a timely manner, which resulted in us not getting the kind we wanted. We were forced to choose another champagne, and then charged an extra 50 dollars because it was more expensive.
I was not pleased about that, nor with the fact that I got a barrage of last minute questions 2 days before the wedding. I was running ragged then, with barely ten minutes to myself between setting up the wedding, and hosting family. I did not have time to answer questions that should have been asked in the 6 months that we had been discussing all the catering details. It made an already stressful time even more stressful.
3 Girls did a great job at our wedding! The food was delicious (one of my guests said it was the best she'd ever had at a wedding), and the presentation was beautiful. They were super flexible and helpful with the menu and they even cut and served our homemade pies that we opted for instead of cake. I would highly, highly recommend 3 Girls. They are super professional and serve super tastey food.
3 Girls did a great job working with our budget for 200+ people and still gave us amazing on site food for our outdoor wedding.
Two full buffets and a cocktail hour!
the Coquille St Jacques were spectacular!! What a way to start the new year...and married life. They truly were perfection
We didn't use their catering services we used the traveling bar. The ladies were awesome, they were flexible during the planning process and came up with some delicious drink suggestions(non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks).
