A Spice Of Life Catering + Events

uffet style dinner with BBQ chicken and a carving station for steak. We received multiple compliments from our guest how good the food was and of course, we agree! They were professional, the buffet ran swiftly, and the staff was attentive. We would recommend!

Kathy who was our contact was very helpful through the whole process too.

d any questions I had during the consultation and tasting and was in constant communication with me throughout the process even on the wedding day. Rebecca was professional, helpful, organized, and kind. Not to mention... the food was divine! Our appetizers comprised of Tomato Basil Soup & Rye Provolone Grilled Cheese Shooters, Caprese Skewers, and Poblano Corn Fritters. The Tomato Basil Soup was a favorite among our wedding guests! Our equally tasty entrees comprised of Chicken Scallopini and Strip Loin Steak. Thank you to the Spice of Life team for making our wedding so special and so yummy!

ately for the actual wedding dinner the presentation was pretty bad looked like food was just thrown on the plate. The chicken was supposed to have a glaze there was no glaze, the polenta had no flavor. We had a person with an allergy was told they would adapt no problem, the person recieved a bag of steamed vegetables which was not what we had discussed. The most disappointing when we reported back to the company they said someone would reach out and no one reached out. Had high hopes unfortunately didn't deliver day of the wedding spent a lot of money to be disappointed.

lowed sustainable practices. A Spice of Life was the perfect fit for those needs as well as our budget. Kathy was so wonderful in helping us choose options that would meet our budget as well as deciding on our final menu. She was there for us every step along the way. Our tasting was fantastic and exactly what we hoped for! Our wedding day ran fairly smoothly. We decided to do a buffet for cost and it was disappointing to hear that we had run out of food before the last person was served even though we were missing 6 people who were supposed to show up to our wedding, but didn’t make it day of. Our day of catering manager/captain, Khadija was incredible! She was SO attentive and ensured we were well fed and taken care of as a couple. Truly, amazing team and food. I would highly recommend A Spice of Life Catering!

elpful throughout the entire process. She was kind, flexible, and, helped us problem solve not only the catering service, but, she also managed our rentals. It was such a relief to have Emily on our side. Further, the food was incredible! We served their BBQ option to a bunch of folks from Texas, and, they loved it! In fact, they said that the meal at our wedding was the best meal they had over the entire 3-day event. I can't recommend A Spice of Life more. Again, their team is incredibly hands-on and they make incredible food!

o lucky to have such an organized, timely, and very tasty catering company. They matched the decor of our wedding and my favorite flower to their food set up for cocktail hour. They even put a small basket of food in our wedding suite on the night of the wedding. I was so grateful because I was so slammed, I barely got a chance to eat. The food was so so tasty and all of our guests just raved about it. Spice of Life handled the pandemic very smoothly and adjusted our wedding date four times as we adjusted to the pandemic four times. I was so grateful to have them on our wedding team! They are an absolute gem to work with! I would highly recommend them! :)

ing we needed. We would have had a perfect experience, however, to put it bluntly the communication by our ASOL catering representative was inconsistent and absent throughout the process, even during the final days leading up to our wedding leaving us with requests and questions left unanswered. It was not uncommon to go weeks without receiving answers to our emailed questions, sometimes requiring us to call directly to the company to inquire. This was frustrating and at times stressful to deal with, but fortunately the wedding day came and went without any issues! We seriously can't commend the staff and on-site manager for their professionalism and quality of service. The food was also outstanding!

f the tenderloin sliders. Emily was so easy to work with and her attention to the smallest details was amazing. She transformed our kitchen and really made it a magical night of celebrating. We hired them to cater our wedding and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others looking for good food and friendly faces.

of staff were fine, they seemed polite and overall things ran smoothly. There were some minor things that were less than ideal, but nothing worth writing a poor review over. (One example being their bartender totally disregarding the recipes & proportions we’d provided for our specialty cocktails, then saying we’d ran out of vodka a couple hours in, resulting in one of our guests leaving our venue to buy more, only to find out we hadn’t actually run out.) The really negative experience was throughout the planning process leading up to our wedding, specifically with our event specialist & unfortunately, even one of the owners. There was a lot of stress and drama trying to communicate with our event specialist (we were made to feel like wanting any email response back on questions was an unreasonable expectation, and we were consistently following up after waiting 3-4 weeks with no reply.) One of the owners reached out the day before the wedding and was exceptionally unprofessional, ranging from patronizing to accusatory and borderline aggressive. (One of the members of our wedding party overheard the conversation & used the word “gaslighting” to describe the way the owner spoke, and that was not an inaccurate or unfair description.) There were many failures on their part and frustratingly, zero willingness to take any responsibility, and when we simply tried holding them accountable, we were berated. We worked with a half dozen vendors for our wedding and were absolutely thrilled and so comfortable with all of them except for A Spice of Life.

mentary snack basket would be waiting in the grooms room as well as the bridal suite. Neither was provided. The food was cold, unseasoned and 100% NOT the dinner we had at trial. We were ahead of schedule for dinner so you would think that means the food is at least warm but it wasn't. No gravy on the dry pork loin either. Vegetables were not seasoned at all. Truly awful. We spoke to them about how unhappy we were and they basically shrugged there shoulders and ignored our complaint. No discount. I really don't want anyone else being scammed and having there once in a lifetime day ruined by bad food. Guests flew in for the wedding and were served dry, cold, unseasoned food. This was extremely embarrassing. The trial is a scam. Please do not risk your beautiful day by having this company cater it. Reviews were great, trial was great so I am confused as to what happened. It makes me cry at the fact that I feel they were prejudiced towards us because we don't fit with their ideal clientele. Stay away and find a catering company that cares about their clients.

service. Kathy was our main contact to work with and she was wonderful! She KNOWS the business in and out and was the BEST to work with. Everyone to this day is raving about the short ribs from the wedding! Thank you!

pice A Life Catering+Events. They go above and beyond! Thanks for making our special day great and stress free.

so friendly, professional, and just all-around wonderful. Amanda made sure the presentation of the buffet set up went along with our theme and it looked beautiful! Several of our guests raved about the food - especially the breakfast tacos with chorizo (my personal favorite) and the waffle bar. Highly recommend their catering service.

ood was delicious. My wife and I are both students and so being on a budget for a wedding can be challenging. However, Kathy was such a help and allowed us to find a menu that we loved while staying in a relative budget range. The day of our wedding was great as Spice of Life came in and set everything up with ease and we hardly even noticed they were there. The timing of serving the courses was great and the food was a good temperature. Our guests had great things to say about the meal choices and serving sizes. The crew was very nice and very professional when serving the plated dinner. We even invited them to come dance at the end of the night!

of Life Catering. They came highly recommended by our venue coordinator and had worked together with our amazing wedding planner (Susan Lutz) who also highly recommended them, so we gave them a try. The whole experience from start to finish was so much easier and more enjoyable than we ever could have imagined. Dawn Meitz is literally a wonder woman and was absolutely amazing to work with. She's very experienced (with a variety of different wedding sizes/styles/locations) and was extremely knowledgeable. She's organized and was a great communicator during the many months leading up to the wedding - being especially patient with my mother who lives across the country and always had a million questions for her. She was friendly and accommodating and was so much fun to work with... Not only is she great at her job, but you can tell that she is passionate about what she does. She leads a great group of talented staff very well and it made a huge difference throughout the planning process and on the day of our wedding. With all of the stresses that inevitably arise in planning and executing a wedding, A Spice of Life was one of the biggest factors in making everything happen seamlessly. We had roughly 140 guests and they all raved about our caterer - from the amazing appetizers, dinner and dessert bar, to the decorations, the drinks/cocktails, service and the entire atmosphere. They were professional, incredibly efficient, they worked cohesively with all of our other vendors (DJ/flowers/planner/decor rental/etc), they came on time and left only after everything was cleaned up, and my favorite part was the special touches they included. Dawn literally walked through the buffet and lovingly served us (Bridge & Groom) our meals during the dinner. They even packaged up an adorable box of leftovers at the end of the night for us to enjoy after the wedding. A little over a month has passed since our wedding and I literally miss working with and hearing from Dawn... We were beyond impressed by A Spice of Life and are so grateful to Dawn and her amazing staff for making our wedding so incredibly special and stress-free. Do yourself a favor if you're planning a wedding in Colorado and call Dawn Meitz at A Spice of Life... 10/5 stars - Highly recommend =)

s, and it was all a hit! They even packed us a picnic basket for us to take with us afterwards so that we had something to eat after all of the festivities! We loved their food and loved their service. Highly recommend!

That, and the food was amazing - seriously - we got so many compliments from our guests! From the cheese board and appetizers at cocktail hour, to the main course which we did family style, to the soft pretzels for late night snacks, it was all fantastic. They took care of so many elements and orchestrated a number of things so we didn't have to. They made our day sooth and seamless. The night was flawlessly executed and they were a huge part of that, cannot thank them enough. Hiring A Spice of Life was like having a whole second wedding planner. We would highly recommend A Spice of Life, you will not be disappointed!

of her dreams. The food was superb, service outstanding. They walked with us every step of the way, from a wonderful tasting to helping us out of a jam when our food truck idea for the day after brunch fell through last minute. The wedding day was seamless providing the family the confidence to enjoy the day. Their attention to detail is outstanding.

ked with our financial needs to suit our budget. Kathy worked closely with us to sort out details and make sure everything was done on point. She answered my many questions and was flexible with our ever evolving guest count. The food and service on wedding day was incredible, and the service was very professional. They even sent us home with a basket of food in case we didn't have much time to eat on wedding day!

ot have a wedding coordinator and was doing much of (read ALL) the planning myself. Every time we talked I felt more and more confident that every detail would be taken care of. Our guests are still raving about how delicious the food was! Every staff member who showed up on our wedding day had great personalities and were fun to work with. Do yourself a favor and hire the Spice of Life team for your event - you will not regret it! NOTE: If you are getting married at planet bluegrass you need A Spice of Life, they know the venue inside and out.

ality of both the food and service of the ASOL team and how seamless everything went because of them. From my early emails, I knew Dawn was the right choice for us. She was extremely prompt to answer emails and take phone calls. We were feeling a little stressed about two months out from our wedding and we were able to have a 2 hour in-person meeting with Dawn who walked us through every single detail from rentals to food to beverage service. On the day, the service was impeccable and food was amazing. They nailed absolutely everything, down to the tiny details. They went above and beyond and provided top notch service all night long. We keep hearing from our guests that the food was the best they’d ever had at a catered event. I genuinely can’t recommend them enough; they are the best of the best. We love you Dawn + team!

ality service! Speak with Wendy Kerr and she will help achieve your vision! I have nothing but great things to say about ASOL! The ONLY reason why I did not give 5 stars is because over the course of a year and a half engagement, we had to transfer our account to a different representative with Spice and it took a minute for Wendy to get up to speed but she jumped right in and everything turned out perfect! I would highly recommend this caterer!!!

her advice was invaluable. My son and his bride had a vision for an informal, rustic wedding with wonderful food and A Spice of Life played a large role in making the wedding celebratory and delicious.

because of him. His attention to detail and sweet personality is what made our wedding a day we will never forget. Yes, the food was incredible and so beautifully presented and we received approximately one million compliments on how yummy everything was! But, his planning services are what made our day FLAWLESS! Everything ran so smoothly because of Jake and his awesome team! We loved how honest he was and we truly appreciated feeling like he was always there for us. You will not find a better caterer or person to be there for you on your special day. Book A Spice of Life Catering, it was the easiest decision we made throughout our wedding planning process.

sit down formal dinner (yet keeping the amount of food the same, as it was still a full dinner). Jake gave us an excellent menu to start from, and we were able to taste many of the options to create our perfect final menu. He made us feel calm and yet excited about everything your company provided, and Jake even helped us call our cake vendor who was unresponsive until hearing from him. Having Jake's support really helped us understand more about what to expect during our wedding, and that was beyond helpful. Spice of Life is clearly a 5-star company with a 5-star staff. Our wedding reception went as smoothly as possible, and it was truly magical. I know Jake and the rest of the staff worked hard throughout the entire process. Here are a few more notes from my parents, as they were helping organize our personal decorations and the personal hosting of the event: The bartenders were EXCELLENT and knew their jobs. The food was outstanding and remained warm on the 40 degree evening. Everyone stated how delicious and fun the menu was and how it was presented (both passed and buffet style). We thought we'd have to pack up all the decorations we brought, but they were cleaned up and things were packed so we just had to take a few boxes up. The rest of the items were loaded up efficiently--they took all the extra liquor, flowers, cupcakes, and other things and loaded them into our truck.

eeded anything (they didn't even let us grab our own plate, we were served which was very kind). Plus, they packed us a "to go" basket of food for after the wedding, which was so appreciated. Food was great, service was great, highly recommend.

re not disappointed! I'm really happy with how responsive and easy to work with they were, and how they were willing to provide us with a customized menu that was unique, culturally specific, and delicious! Everyone loved the food at our wedding.

received and staff was pleasant and well groomed, BUT ONLY 1-star for absolutely NO attention to details on services we went over together in great detail months, to weeks, to days before wedding. BIG PROBLEM: (1) They never prepared OR served Mimosa's for toast; guests had to go up to bar line and request a glass- I had special ordered 196 champagne glasses, they only used 42. (2) Never offered to help cut the cake, so Bride and Bridesmaids made a mess of it. We ended up being short cupcakes and brought home almost all of the wedding cake. (3) Half hour late in starting the food buffet line because ASOL Event Manager was waiting for ALL the guests to be seated. On ASOL ADVISE for a buffet, we did NOT set up all the number of tables and chairs needed, since guests would go through buffet line at different times. (4) Then to complicate matters, ASOL forgot to bring the 6 tall cocktail tables to accommodate extra places for guests to put appetizers, drinks, and food plates on. (5) All they offered me was a $300 refund for their Consultation and Coordination fee, but only when I suggested it. ASOL bill was over $60 a plate for breakfast/brunch food because every food item price ends up being double by the time you pay all their administration, travel, labor, taxes, and a 20% gratuity fees. I furnished all the guest table linens, decorations, plates, flatware, and drinking cups- so they did not even have to attend to this. All tables were set up and put in place before they arrived at 9AM- we arrived at 8AM. (6) DAY STARTED OFF WITH POOR SERVICE: They did not bring their complimentary 'Fruit and Cheese Tray' 30 min after their 9AM arrival, but instead 20 minutes before ceremony started, so at 10:40. And this was only because I asked where it was, our flower girl and ring bearer were getting fussy and hungry. I think 3 stars is generous.

thank him! The props they brought for the food tables were absolutely perfect. Their team was so friendly, we had a few issues not staying on schedule and a few minor details went a bit off but overall pleased.

hen he was on vacation with his family, he texted me back right away. On the day of the wedding, there was a rain storm before the ceremony and all of the chairs were soaked. Even though it was not their job at all, the crew from a spice of life ran out with towels to dry off all of the seats. Jake and the crew let us use any and all decorations they had, not just for the reception, for the ceremony as well. They provided the bridal party with snacks before the ceremony to help calm our tummies and our nerves. The food at the reception was absolutely amazing, I hear comments all of the time for my guests about how delicious it was. Everybody went back for seconds! I would recommend a spice of life for any event!!

l and accommodating - not to mention, their food is delicious!

y interviewed. The presentation of our dinner menu was exquisite. Todd Eads was very instrumental in helping us with our decision making as well as providing guidance throughout the planning process. He is very thorough, organized, and extremely personable. The staff was very professional in serving our 200 guests promptly and efficiently. I highly recommend Spice of Life for any event, large or small....they are simply the BEST!

remely kind, and the food was delicious. Extremely highly recommend!

uo for producing mass quantities. We decided to blindly choose ASOL as they were the preferred caterer at our venue (Planet Bluegrass) and couldn't have been proven more wrong about this 'status quo'. The event specialist, Dawn, was with us every step of the way in planning the wedding and responded to emails even when on vacation. The food the day-of was exceptional (in a buffet no less) and the staff were all super professional - I didn't even know they were there. On the day-of, Dawn was also equally as present and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed without even having to ask. I can't say enough about this catering company and would encourage anyone to choose them to cater their wedding as they do that (and so much more) seamlessly and with so much positivity. Thank you, Dawn and staff, for making our day so incredible!

and service we received. The staff even helped load our car with leftovers and gifts at the end of the night! Even though they're a large company working multiple events, we never felt lost in the shuffle. They're very responsive to emails and made planning the wedding from out of state a breeze.

the food items were labeled Gluten Free (GF) or Vegan (V). A Spice of Life helped us chose a menu that was perfect for the venue, as well as seasonal items. They even worked with us to create the perfect summer salad using Palisade peaches that wasn't on the menu. We worked with several different individuals throughout the course of our wedding planning, but each person was very friendly & professional and the end result couldn't have been better! Our guests loved the food & we couldn't have been happier. Delicious!

lp before the wedding was excellent. I cannot recommend them enough, don't look any further!

make sure that what we wanted was the main focus. Not only was the food OUTSTANDING, it was within our price range. They provided decor that complimented our colors and theme.

have asked for a better caterer! Jake was like a mini wedding planner and Cat was absolutely amazing at the wedding.

ade the day SO stress free by setting up and tearing down practically EVERYTHING, and their staff were all incredibly kind and courteous. They were also very accommodating, bringing the groom and I food, serving our drinks in special champagne flutes we brought, and supplying us with an ADORABLE little basket of leftovers. Our waffle bar was a hit and we would HIGHLY recommend them for any wedding or event!

eally worked for our business. We had an amazing tasting with them, and they really went above and beyond to meet our needs in term of finding a comfortable budget. We were even able to pick four main dishes to serve our guests! The food on the wedding day turned out wonderful, despite the blip of one of the venue ovens going out.

iew. The workers seemed nice, but we paid them quite a bit hourly to stand around and not do anything. Jake said he would be at our wedding and tend to us, but he never showed up. The excuse is "its wedding season, we are busy so sorry." Then why should I pay you? Why take us on if you can't?

ught of to make the day even more special- like a picnic basket to take home with us of our leftovers!
