utstanding Wedding Catering! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Culinary Crafts! From start to finish, they were absolutely outstanding and helped make our wedding cel...

ebration truly unforgettable. The food was exceptional—beautifully presented, delicious, and enjoyed by all of our guests. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared to perfection. We received so many compliments throughout the evening about how incredible the food was. Beyond the food, the professionalism, service, and attention to detail from the entire Culinary Crafts team were exceptional. They were organized, accommodating, and made everything feel effortless, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment of our son’s wedding. Culinary Crafts exceeded our expectations in every way. If you are looking for a wedding caterer who will deliver incredible food, impeccable service, and a truly memorable experience, we highly recommend them. Five stars without hesitation!

We cannot say enough good things about Culinary Crafts. The food was absolutely amazing. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! We received so many compli...

ments throughout the night. The hors d'oeuvres were to die for! They went above and beyond to work with us on international cuisine and all of our specific requests, and everything was executed perfectly. The staff was extremely professional, attentive, and made sure our guests were well taken care of from start to finish. Dinner service was smooth, beautifully presented, and truly elevated our entire wedding experience. If you’re looking for caterers who deliver incredible food, impeccable service, and are a joy to work with, we highly recommend Caleb and his team. Everything was perfect.

The Culinary Crafts team provided incredible service from our initial inquiry to event execution. Kate was extremely professional, prompt, and kind to correspond with leading up to...

the event. She thought of every little detail to ask about to ensure the day-of crew was prepared. She was also extremely patient with us while figuring out where the best place to set everything up on our property was to support the flow of events and work with the heat/sun. I am especially grateful for her assistance in securing rentals through All Out Events so that I had one less thing to worry about when planning our wedding! The day-of crew that flawlessly executed our event was phenomenal! Each member of their team was so kind, accommodating, and professional. Shortly after they arrived and had planned to start setting tables, we were going to be hit with 100% chance of heavy rain (gotta love summer storms). My family asked the crew to delay set up and event start by about 30 minutes in hopes that the rain would pass. They were extremely accommodating to the request and worked quickly and diligently to get things set up and hors d'oeuvres out for the arriving guests at the same time. I could not believe how beautiful they made the buffet set up!! I was honestly expecting the usual large format metal dishes and was blown away by the set up they had, which was perfectly on theme with our day, in addition to slicing the skirt steak for guests as they requested pieces. Every bite of the food was so delicious and we were ecstatic with our choices. I still have friends and family raving about that being the best wedding food they've ever had, let alone one of the best meals they've had in general. Both the skirt steak and trout were so incredibly tender and the accompanying garnishes were insane! Each of the sides were so delicious and everything worked together perfectly. The gelato was the perfect ending to our evening and was sooo tasty. Lastly, the Culinary Crafts team left our home in better condition than we gave it to them, even sweeping our patio at the end of the evening. Hopefully you were convinced before the end of this long winded review, but if not, help yourself ease wedding planning stress and book with Culinary Crafts!

The Culinary Crafts made our wedding on 8/31 at This is the Place such an amazing experience. After the "CC" team got our account, we never once had to think about the food. Kate...

and the CC team arranged for us to have a taste testing with family members, which was so helpful as we were planning the wedding from out of state. The CC team was super professional and handled everything intuitively on the timeline we had discussed. The meat carver (Jon?) was great because he ended up getting a lot of questions from attendees, and he handled them expertly. The setup was efficient and made the space so beautiful. They handled subcontracting the linens and serving wares, which took several things off of our to-do list! Also the food was amazing! Friends and family were saying how great it was and we both enjoyed sharing an amazing meal as part of our special day!

WOW - Culinary Crafts absolutely crushed it! I worked with Madison Oliveira and she was seriously fabulous; I probably emailed her a dozen times to ask questions, tweak the menu, i...

nquire about rentals, etc. and she would get back to me so fast and was always just so easy to work with. They were so professional and the food was really so good! They boxed up our leftovers and we are still eating them! They are the best in the state for a reason. If food is important to you at your wedding, do yourself a favor and hire Culinary Crafts!!

Culinary Crafts was one of the recommended caterers for our daughters wedding venue. We are so happy we selected them as our caterer for our 100 person event. Jocelyn was helpful...

with menu selection, the food was delicious and we received many compliments from our guests about the hand passed tray appetizers, and the formal dinner service. All of the staff treated our guests with professional service and kindness. They met specific dietary needs with ease. Great team! 10 out of 10.

e so many incredible options. The favorites at our wedding was the braised beef, all the salads and the gelato. Although everything was amazing those were the favorites. The presentation was stunning and the staff was very professional. It makes me want to have more events to be able to try more of their dishes. Yum!!!

Every detail of my wedding was perfect thanks to Jocelyn at Culinary Crafts. She was more than the catering manager... and all the food items on the menu she created for my wedding...

were incredible! The staff at the wedding was so professional and hard working. I cannot thank them enough for making my day absolutely perfect. The food was so so so delicious, beautifully presented and featured local ingredients. If you are getting married and you care about delicious food, don't hire anyone else. Culinary crafts is the best in the business. Jocelyn is a perfect 10!

They are extremely professional not letting go on a warm relationship, we felt super taken care of, punctual, amazing food, great staff, could not have chosen better.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Culinary Crafts was for my wedding. From the beginning, their team, especially Jocelyn, took the time to really listen to us, learn what our...

vision was, and be flexible. Planning went so smoothly because of that, and the event itself was perfect. Brian ran the show so well and truly cared about how everything was going, checking in on us and the guests frequently. And the food was spectacular! I got so many compliments from guests about how delicious it was and that it blew their expectations away for what wedding food is usually like, especially when prepared for 150 people. Very highly recommended!

7/30/2018 • Abby G

Culinary crafts was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We were so lucky to have Jocelyn from Culinary Crafts help us every step of the way. Jocelyn is so patient and kind and...

made sure everything was absolutely perfect. CC provided us everything we needed for the most amazing wedding. Food, linens, chairs, bar, etc. The food... was to die for. Everything at the tasting and everything that was platted at my wedding was phenomenal. Everyone at our wedding could not stop raving about how delicious the food was. CC does not provide your typical wedding food. They pick out each detail with you to make it exactly how you want it. Between the quality of the food and how amazing Jocelyn was I wish I could give Culinary Crafts 10 stars!!

ring. Holly was our wedding planner and couldn't have been more wonderful to work with. From our first meeting, she sensed our vision for the big day and helped us bring it to fruition with our menu and rentals selection. She was always available to answer any questions and very flexible, even when we changed things up at the last minute! I highly recommend Culinary Crafts. They truly are the very best in the business.

8/12/2014 • Jacinda B

We loved the food and the service, but thought it was a bit pricy. However, when doing research, this was comparable to price with other high-quality caterers.

7/11/2014 • megan f

We used Culinary Crafts for our July 4th wedding and after our experience, I would definitely recommend them. The food was AMAZING! Several people commented that it was the best fo...

od they had ever had at a wedding. Ryan was our event manager and he was great in making sure my new husband and I got in on some of the hors d'oeuvres, and got all of the leftover food and desserts boxed up after dinner was over. He took very good care of us and all of our guests. It was great knowing that Culinary Crafts' staff was there to do all of the setup and breakdown for the event and they even provided the bartenders for our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. We rented all of our tables, chairs (for both the ceremony and the reception), china and flatware, glassware for the bar, and linens through Culinary Crafts and used them as a full-service caterer. Two days before our wedding we received our final invoice that was significantly higher than we were expecting, largely because our wedding was on a holiday and the delivery fee was exorbitant! Kaleb was wonderful in arranging with our venue to have the tables and chairs delivered a day early so we wouldn't have to pay the holiday fee, and explained their error in not including it on the original estimate. I would not have expected them to do this, but they saved us literally hundreds of dollars. Catering was still our largest expense and although my husband was reluctant to spend as much as we did, he raved about Culinary Crafts and said that the money spent was worth it.

10/10/2013 • Sarah R

Culinary Crafts was so helpful during the wedding planning process. Holly was our point of contact and she came out to the venue a month before the wedding to help with the layout ...

and coordinate all of the rentals. On the day of our outside wedding was rained out and the Culinary crafts was so flexible and understanding as we kept changing our minds on if we could pull it of outside or not. In the end they pulled off serving 100 people inside a small area. Saying they are flexible is an understatement! We received so many compliments on the food and would recommend them to anyone!

Culinary Crafts is known for their quality of food and presentation, which is why we chose them. They provide DELICIOUS food, beautiful presentation, and a very high level of custo...

mer service. You do pay for it. They cost quite a bit more than other caterers, however your food will be well seasoned, perfectly cooked, gorgeously presented (even if it's a buffet! We had a buffet), and the staff tries very hard to make sure your happy. As the bride, they focused on making sure I got to try all of the hors d'oeuvres, which was AWESOME! They cook up some mean scallops. We also decided on a late night seafood buffet at the last minute. The lobster tail and crab legs were PERFECTLY cooked. Like, not overcooked and rubbery, but juicy and tender. We are huge foodies so we were happy to spend most our budget on food. If this matters to you then go with CC. They are amazing. Great food, wonderful customer service.

7/06/2013 • Lauren g

I would trust these people to cater any event I was having! They can make a completely different menu and feel every time! I had no idea what kind of food I wanted, but when I sat ...

down with the planner, she took my very vague ideas and helped me direct them to the most delicious food! They are so fun to work with and pretty much run your reception for you if you want! What a stress load off it was!

11/15/2012 • Amie I

Although my husband and I didn't get to eat much of the food at our reception, we heard from all of the guests that it was really good. My one very large frustration was in the pla...

nning part of working with Culinary Crafts. We told the lady who was helping us our budget and she said we could stay within it no problem with the food we had proposed. When we got the invoice back, it was 3,000 dollars over budget. We had to talk to them many more times to get it within the budget we had set and this included taking a few items off our menu.

Culinary Crafts took weeks and weeks to get my proposed wedding menu together. Despite advising that our budget would provide for a very nice event, CC finally came back with a me...

nu that cost MORE than 133% of our budget, which did NOT include beverages, cake, chef fee, maître d' fee, or dessert – and of course not tip or tax. I expressed my dissatisfaction with being pushed into spending much more than we originally discussed (P.S. - they'd already drafted an invoice to send me.) I received the following response, verbatim. Thanks for you time on the phone yesterday. I spent sometime this morning discussing your proposal with my director of catering and I wanted to get back with you. We are sorry for the miscommunication on our part with your budget and your expectations. As your menu sits, we don't have margin to decrease the price point, and switching to a buffet style we would still come in above your budget. We are the best caterer in Utah and thus are prices reflect that, and we do pay our staff well so we can provide the best service to our clients. In the end, we may not be the best fit for this event due to budget constraints. A possible recommendation would be The Main Event, and if you would like to discuss other options feel free to give us a call. Thanks for considering Culinary Crafts. ------ Holly Fowler Assistant Wedding Planner Culinary Crafts 801-225-6575 - Office

verything for our wedding, linens, chairs, food, flowers, coordinating events with the DJ. They even packed a 'to go' honeymoon bag for us. The only negative I have to say is that they are so busy, it was a nightmare trying to get someone on the phone, and doing things over email was very difficult when it came to some things. Other than that, this place is amazing. I would highly recommend them.

5/01/2011 • Rayna M

Culinary Crafts recently catered my wedding. We had the opportunity to meet with them approximately four months prior to the wedding for a tasting and menu planning. I thought that...

the tasting was ABSOLUTELY necessary since we were planning a sit-down dinner. My fiance, mother and I enjoyed the tasting and found Mary to be very engaging and informative. She helped us come up with a specialty drink to serve at the wedding that was one of the night's hits! The food was excellent, and I fell particularly in love with the risotto (more on that in a bit). I did think that the cost of the tasting was quite steep, but I do understand that quality food and time come at a price. Because of the Banana's Foster demonstration at the tasting, we decided to include it in the wedding (Ryan, the chef, is excellent!). Wedding day everyone raved about the food. The presentation was beautiful, the service was excellent and the food delicious. Second, the staff were very helpful with how to cut the wedding cake etc. Everyone was very professional. Culinary Crafts provided excellent service. The appetizers were to die for, and the main course was very good. Unfortunately we didn't get to taste the Banana's Foster at the wedding, we were too busy, but everyone said it was excellent. I would highly recommend them as caterers.
