While this review is many months overdue, my husband and I are still receiving compliments on the food at our wedding reception and the amazing experience provided by Andre and everyone at Black Diamond Gourmet! Since this was a destination wedding planned from the east coast, we had to go on faith that the food and presentation would live up to our expectations. In reality, it far surpassed them! Every item we tried from the appetizers to the carving station was amazing. Specialty orders for our vegetarian and pescatarian guests were reported to be incredible as well. Notably, my father is still raving many months later about the gluten free rolls he was served to accommodate his dietary restrictions. I have been to many weddings at all budget levels, and I have to say that the food has never been a memorable part for me...but even amid all the excitement of my own big day, this meal could not be forgotten. We'd give the chef and his catering team 10 stars if we could. You cannot wrong with Black Diamond Gourmet.
Black Diamond Catering is amazing! Not only is the food delicious (our guests are still raving about it!), but they went above and beyond with service and flexibility. Great people all around, exactly who you want at your wedding!
My wife and I originally booked Black Diamond Gourmet for a 2020 wedding, which we ended up having to postpone for two years because of covid. Sue was our point of contact during all this and she was very flexible. She kept track of our requests about strange dietary restrictions, a constantly fluctuating guest count due to hosting a destination wedding during a pandemic, etc with ease.
When the actual day came, we weren’t quite sure what to expect (we are out of state and we never ended up doing a tasting because of covid) but the food was great!
We were a bit concerned about allergens (we had a buffet and one of my friends has severe Celiacs and is very sensitive to cross-contamination) but they definitely seem to know what they were doing in the kitchen. My friend reported that she didn’t get sick at all.
We used Black Diamond Catering for cater our destination wedding in Colorado. The team was a blast to work with. they made sure appetizers and everything was ready to go by the time we arrived back at our cabin after the ceremony. They went above and beyond in the service aspect but the food..... The food was amazing! I couldn't believe how good the herb crusted beef was. There was leftovers that we took home with us because they were just too good to waste. I'd highly recommend to anyone needing catering! you wont be disappointed!
We recently used Black Diamond Gourmet to cater our wedding in October and they did an INCREDIBLE job! Our guests are still raving about how delicious the food was. Andre is a wonderful chef. The entire catering team were courteous, professional, and so kind! Sue was easy to communicate with and very helpful as well. I highly recommend hiring Black Diamond Gourmet for any and all catering needs.
Black Diamond Gourmet catering has fantastic food and even better employees! My daughter was married in September and chose Black Diamond for the cocktail party, as well as the reception. Patrick, and his crew, didn’t miss a beat! From lighting the candles to packing up the decorations, they did it all. I have already talked to several friends in Breckinridge about use them for their next big gathering. Thanks again Patrick!
Awesome caterer! Had a chef and server come to the cabin we rented for our wedding. Great food and service!!
We used Black Diamond Gourmet for our daughter’s wedding this past month based on the rave reviews, reasonable pricing, ease of use of their website, variety of options, and friendly service. We worked with Sue Counihan for 2 years since we had to postpone the wedding for a year due to the pandemic. She was incredibly helpful, patient, informative, and attentive to all the details. They were kind enough to honor the pricing on our original contract even though we had to postpone a year. They thoughtfully handled special requests for our guests with gluten allergies, the vendor meals, our ice cream cakes, and a family who had to depart early with toddler but we wanted to have meals. We had our wedding at Silverthorne Pavilion and they were very familiar with the layout and rules, they made sure there were coverings for all tables even in the lobby and the vendor tables, they kept everything neat and clean without removing table coverings until the guests were leaving. They had everything ready on time, were polite, warm, friendly and respectful with all of our guests, and they did a great job of cutting the 8 ice cream cakes we had delviered and getting them out quickly before any melting. We went with an Italian meal and food was quite good and especially loved the seasoned vegetables and garlic bread. Outstanding service and presentation!!
Andre and team did a wonderful job catering our wedding! The food was delicious, and we were happy with the Italian buffet. Andre was very friendly, he and his staff were professional, and they were super accommodating and discreet with dietary restrictions. Plus, it's a wonderful value and not ridiculously expensive like many other caterers. Would absolutely recommend their services to anyone looking for the perfect wedding caterer!
Food and service was exceptional! Andre and his team are A+ in the catering industry from the appetizers to the entrees! All of our guests did not leave hungry without a doubt! We appreciate you putting your heart and soul into this part of our wedding :) Do yourself a favor and look no further than Black Diamond!
I cannot recommend Black Diamond Gourmet enough! Andre answered all of our initial questions about menu options and organizing an out-of-state elopement meal and Sue was super responsive and accommodating with our last-minute requests and customizations of the menu. Everyone with BDG were superstars and were willing to work through everything with us. The food was amazing and we got so many compliments on everything.
Really enjoyed working with Black Diamond Gourmet! The food was cooked to perfection, and we had multiple guests comment on how much they enjoyed the food. The flank steak was on point and hand sliced for each guest. Perhaps even better than the food was working with Sue! She was so easy to communicate with, answered every one of my million questions, and seemed to truly care about making sure the day/food was exactly what we wanted. Would absolutely recommend BDG!
Amazing food and amazing service. Black Diamond Gourmet has a huge selection and everything we tried from them at our tasting was delicious, and the day of the food was great. We also found them very easy to deal with, responsive, with great attention to detail. They made the entire process easy. We recommend them very highly!
We hired Black Diamond Gourmet to cater our wedding last month. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was professional. Sue was a pleasure to work with and made the whole process easy for us. I would absolutely recommend them if you are looking for a caterer.
Sue was really great to work with. She made it very easy for us throughout the process. The food was amazing and the staff that came to our wedding did a really great job. My wife and I highly recommend Black Diamond Catering.
Sue and her entire team at Black Diamond are incredible! They made the process from A to Z soooo easy for us. Sue very kindly met us on a weekend 1.5 years in advance of our wedding, helped us plan the entire menu and about 8 months later, we did the tasting, which was such a fun experience for us. The day of the wedding, her team showed up, had everything running smoothly and provided delicious food. In fact, all of our guests were RAVING about the food quality -- especially the bison (a treat for everyone who was out of town). Not to mention, her team was very attentive to us (the bride and groom) making sure we always had what we needed in terms of food and drink all night. Last but not least, they managed all the cleanup and we didn't have to monitor or micro-manage anything. In short, Black Diamond allowed us to show up and have the time of our lives, without having to worry about whether there were going to be any issues with the food. THANK YOU for playing such a big role in making this day so special for us.
Black Diamond Catering did a fantastic job catering my pre-wedding bridesmaid brunch. Amelia and her crew were receptive to a relatively last minute request for catering (only one week in advance). She helped me develop a nice brunch menu for my bridesmaids and the mothers as we got ready for the wedding. The food was fresh, warm, and delicious. Amelia brought the food over and arranged it beautifully in the kitchen, so we didn't have to worry about the prep and arrangement. Everything from the breakfast burritos to the fresh fruit and pastries to the warm coffee and juice were absolutely perfect. Everyone was pleased, and there was more than enough food to keep everyone satisfied. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and for making my wedding day even more special! Would 100% have chosen them again.
The food was great! I was nervous because we couldn't do a testing since we live out of state. A few days before the wedding we were actually told by a bartender in a local bar that Black Diamond was the best and we wouldn't be disappointed. He was right! We were very pleased with the food and service. The professionalism of the staff was perfect. They were on time, they cleaned up, they took care of so much! I am so happy we hired them.
Black Diamond Gourmet was the exclusive caterer for our wedding venue and we could not have been more pleased! We planned our wedding from out of state and appreciated Sue's responsiveness throughout the whole process. Our guests LOVED the food, especially the bison pot roast. 10/10 service and quality.
Sue and Andre were fantastic to work with for my wedding! Sue was so easy to communicate with, especially when planning from out of state. The food was great and I didn't have to worry about anything!
Sue and the crew were so awesome, beyond words. They were always making sure everything was up to our standards before and during the event. I wouldn't consider hiring any other company if I were to do it again!
Black Diamond Gourmet did an incredible job providing delicious food for our welcome dinner and farewell brunch. We would have used them for the wedding reception as well, but the food was a package deal with the venue. Sue was an amazing communicator - she was very prompt in responding to our questions and together we created menus that left our guests thrilled and full! The service staff was very professional and provided a great level of service. We highly recommend them!
THANK YOU to Sue, Andre, and their staff for providing unparalleled customer service for our wedding. They were incredibly flexible, accommodating, genuinely caring and patient when we had an unexpected venue change a week before the wedding. Many thanks to adapting to the challenging weather and conditions and providing delicious food and kind service. Our guests are still commenting on how amazing everything tasted! Favorites were the Elk carving station and the bacon wrapped dates! Highly recommend this company!
Andre and his staff were superb! They catered our daughter's wedding. The food was delicious! Their service and attention to detail was excellent! I would highly recommend them for any event!
Andre and Black Diamond Gourmet were fantastic! We hired them to cater our summer wedding at the Breckenridge Nordic Center. From the beginning to the end, Andre was responsive, accommodating, and flexible. He even met us in Denver at our convenience for a tasting. At the wedding, our guests were raving about the food and were particularly impressed with how fresh and colorful the food was! Our guests were a collection of people with food restrictions and allergies. Andre met the challenge without hesitation. He even labeled all the food on the buffet so our guests could choose foods that fit within their restrictions. Andre worked with our budget and worked well with the other vendors at our wedding. Thank you Andre and Black Diamond Gourmet! We wish you the very best! Jennifer and Josh
If I had to select one word to describe Black Diamond Gourmet, I would say "OUTSTANDING".
From A to Z, our experience with Black Diamond Gourmet was impressive, classy, and of course, delicious. We hired them for our wedding, and it is one of our favorite decisions that we made. We had both been to many weddings, from buffet style to served dinners, and we wanted the served dinner option. We were completely blown away by the level of class and service that Black Diamond presented - way above our expectations, which were set fairly high.
Our guests enjoyed steak and trout, were served appetizers from trays being carried around the room, and the staff were even gracious enough to bring our drinks to our tables, which added another classy touch to the night.
We worked with Andre and Paul the most and found them both to be superior at what they do. We had a meeting the day before to make sure menu and drink items were all sorted, Paul spent time with our best man (who was with us when we created our drink menu) to make sure the recipes were the best they could be. This was an immense pressure off of our shoulders, allowing us to focus on other things while our friend acted as our proxy.
Paul was ridiculously outstanding at the reception, juggling who knows how many things while seeming cool as a cucumber. He also went above and beyond in the days following the wedding, trying, on our behalf, to take care of an unforeseen mini-crisis that came up after we had left for our honeymoon, again working with our best man so as to not bother us with the problem while on vacation.
From the little bit of interaction I had with the other staff members (it was a whirlwind of a night), I found them to also be incredibly helpful, sweet and professional.
I am seriously impressed with Black Diamond Gourmet; we wanted a classy reception, and they presented something well beyond our expectations. They made us feel like a king and queen, which added just another level of magic to our wedding day.
If you are trying to find a caterer in the Breckenridge/Keystone area, I highly recommend taking a serious look at them. Everyone's needs and wants vary, so I won't speak for you - I can just say that I absolutely recommend Black Diamond!
We absolutely loved working with Andre and Black Diamond Gourmet. Our dinner for our wedding is still talked about years later. I didn't know where to start with planning our dinner, he offered great suggestions, and got us on track for an amazing meal. I especially loved that I didn't have to do a thing on my wedding day. He had it taken care of. Thanks Andre. :)
Black Diamond Gourmet did a wonderful job at our wedding, above and beyond! For example, when my husband and I walked up to cut our cake we both realized we had forgotten our cake cutter but Andre came to the rescue as quick as he could! The entire catering staff was friendly and accommodating, which we still get raving reviews from our guests. From the tasting to the wedding day Andre's food and team were amazing! I would suggest this vendor to any bride, and have!
Black Diamond Catering handled the food for my wedding and provided the service staff for the bar and for dinner. Andre and his staff did an amazing job, all around! The food was great, the staff was extremely helpful and very professional, and everything went off without a hitch. I got married at a ranch and had to bring everything in myself. Andre and his staff set up all the tables and the buffet. The chairs had to be set up outside for the wedding and then, after the wedding, transferred in for dinner. The staff handled it without anyone even noticing. Again, the food was really good, all the feedback that I received from the guests was great and the bar staff also did a great job. Finally, Andre was great to work with prior to the wedding. He listened to what I wanted and made appropriate suggestions. I never had to tell him anything twice. Overall, I would highly recommend him!
Andre and his team were fabulous! He really cared about making everything perfect and exactly how I wanted it. Not to mention the food was AMAZING! Our tasting alone blew us away and then the compliments poured in when the big day came. Andre was very easy to work with and extremely accomodating. I would recommend him to anyone!
Andre is an amazing cook. We got married in a high mountain meadow (in other words, a bbq picnic area with only electricity available) and Andre made it work! The food was delicious! Andre was also very budget conscious which was wonderful. My only complaint would be that he isn't the best at communicating so before the wedding there were a few times where I wasn't sure we were on the same page. However, the day of the wedding, everything worked out great.
Andre and his staff were amazing! Andre was so accommodating and really worked with us to get us exactly what we wanted for our wedding catering. He was never rude or short with us despite our many requests but always kind. He really worked hard to make sure we were 100% happy. The day of the wedding they set everything up first thing in the morning to ensure everything got done instead of waiting until the last minute and trouble shooting then. Janice, who was head of the waitstaff that night was so nice and helpful, even helping me in the walk in freezer during a moment of high stress so I could have a cool moment to myself to "chill out". She was great! The bartenders were great too and kept my husband and I's drinks full all night long. The food was great, service excellent and price very competitive.
Everything went perfectly from the bar and catering stand point. They also catered our rehearsal dinner which was yummy and perfect too. I would use and recommend Andre and Black Diamond in a heartbeat!
