We worked with Footers for our wedding, and overall, they did a great job with some room for improvement in key areas.
To start, they were incredibly easy to work with—responsive, accommodating, and willing to offer input on other aspects of our day, which we really appreciated. They helped us create a unique and personalized menu that reflected our tastes, and the food during the reception was absolutely phenomenal! We received so many compliments from our guests for weeks afterward.
However, there were a few areas where expectations didn’t align with the experience. For example, we were assured that their bartenders could handle the crowd during cocktail hour without creating long lines. Unfortunately, there were noticeable lines, which, while understandable for an event of our size, felt like an overpromise.
The passed hors d’oeuvres were another area of concern. Guests reported they were hard to find and few in quantity. When rain forced guests to move to covered areas halfway through cocktail hour, many mentioned that the snacks disappeared altogether, despite us ordering more than enough for everyone. We understand this can be a challenging situation, but a better pivot strategy would have gone a long way.
The biggest disappointment was the cake service. Cutting and serving the cake was extremely slow, and only small batches of slices were brought out at a time to the self-service table. With 200 eager guests, many didn’t get any cake, and we ended up with a significant amount leftover—a frustrating outcome given how much we planned for this.
Despite these hiccups, we were thrilled with the quality of the reception meal and how seamlessly the team worked with us during the planning process. We’d recommend Footers to couples looking for delicious food and a collaborative experience but suggest setting clear expectations for cocktail hour and dessert service to ensure everything runs smoothly.

We hired Footers to cater our daughters wedding in November 2024. I worked with Cara to coordinate everything and I found her to be responsive, helpful, straight forward and very knowledgeable for all our needs. She helped us plan every aspect of the wedding food and drinks and even gave good suggestions beyond catering. We had over 150 guests to serve and had a cocktail hour with passed appetizers followed by a plated dinner of steak, chicken or branzino. From the appetizers to the dinner and deserts, the food was on par with the quality you get at the finest restaurants and was served timely, hot and with a beautiful presentation. The servers did a great job and the entire meal was on time and everyone was served at nearly the same time so that the party could start directly after the meal. Cara was present from set up to desert and made sure all our needs were covered so that we could enjoy the day. We also hosted a brunch at our Airbnb in Denver the next day for a lot of the guests as Denver is away for most of us, and Footers catered the brunch as well. They came with a truck and a couple servers and did a great job making sure the buffet was always hot and filled with food, and again the food was delicious. Footers is not the least expensive nor are they the most expensive caterer I interviewed, but for the experience they provided, they were worth every penny. If you are shopping for a caterer for a special occasion, look no further...call the wizards at Footers and you will not be disappointed.

The best caterer, hands down. Footers delivered on all levels - planning and vision, coordination, set up, execution, service, attitude, clean up! We did the buffet with a passed salad and late night and the service and quality was so good! 11/10 recommend. We tried occasions and biscuits and berries which were fine, but footers was so much better. Ask them about their summer corn risotto - we invented it ;).

My experience working with Colbert and her team at Footers Catering was truly exceptional. Colbert was not only incredibly friendly and approachable, but she also went above and beyond to ensure that my needs and preferences were met every step of the way. With her guidance, we were able to design a wedding menu that was not only delicious but also served family-style, which added an extra special touch to our big day. Our guests are still raving about the meal, and I can confidently say that without Footers, our wedding wouldn't have been the same. I highly recommend Footers Catering to anyone looking for a truly remarkable catering experience.

We had an amazing experience working with Footers for our June 2023 wedding. Sarah, our coordinator, was professional, experienced, organized, welcoming, and all around fantastic. Everything from the fun, unique, flavorful passed appetizers to the sync-plated dinner service was beautiful, delicious, and just flawless. They were even able to put together a great custom menu item (a soup course) at our request. Would absolutely recommend without any reservations to those looking for an all-around superb caterer at a relatively reasonable price point.

As a Jewish-Filipino couple, we were hoping to have a custom fusion menu on our wedding day. This was a huge ask and we were apprehensive about finding a caterer who could make authentic Filipino food. Footers did all that and more. Sarah was there through countless menu drafts, Filipino recipes and price adjustments. No detail was too small, no question too difficult. She responded promptly to every concern with kindness and professionalism. Our tasting was impressive - we met the chefs who would cater our big day! My (now) husband exclaimed when the lechon baboy was served - "It even smells Filipino!" On our wedding day, guests raved about the custom menu, the dazzling stations and most of all - the kindness and attentiveness of the catering staff. As a bride, I appreciated that EVERY SINGLE detail we discussed prior to the big day had been taken care of (from rentals to salad dressings). Nothing was forgotten. Most of all, we found the price incredibly reasonable for such a custom menu with excellent customer service. We recommend Footers for your wedding without reservation!

I cannot say enough positive things about Footers! We got married on 10/22/22 and we still have people telling us how amazing the food was at our wedding. From the very beginning their team was amazing at communicating with us and making sure we had everything we needed. When the day finally came, everything went perfect! Everyone loved the food (so much so that we had barely any leftovers) and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. April and Anthony, you have an amazing team and we are so grateful for you and all that you did to help ensure our day was perfect.

The food was amazing! If you are foodies likes us you will have a difficult time finding comparable quality in the area. We received numerous compliments! The main reason we are not giving them 5 stars is because I would have liked more oversight regarding the planning process. It looks like some of the other reviewers received more attention from seasoned employees and had a seamless experience, but I think we may have been paired with a less experienced coordinator so there were some hiccups along the way. Any job comes with a learning curve and I don’t mind being part of it, but it would have helped alleviate some stress if we knew this ahead of time so we could do some extra planning on our end to make sure the process was running smoothly. In the end everything worked out and we are extremely happy we chose Footers!

We absolutely could not have made a better choice when picking Footers to be our wedding caterer!!!
When we first met Tabitha and started sharing our vision for wedding, her input and guidance made us comfortable and excited to work with her and the Footers team.
Throughout the entire planning process, the tasting and the wedding we could not have been happier with the service and the delicious food.
The food was absolutely Amazing!
We had multpile stations to provide a wider variety of options. Our guests are still talking about there favorite foods and trying to recreate the green chili mashed potatoes. (Seriously)
We would highly recommend Footers for you wedding or event!

Footers Catering is the best! Their team is wonderful and easy to work with, especially Sarah Amick. She led us through every decision every step of the way. She and her team made all of my ideas come to life and the entire day was flawless. My guests raved about her staff and the food—it was all incredible! They worked with us to accommodate several dietary restrictions without compromising flavor or quality. Even my mom who is a picky eater loved the food!

We used Footers for my wedding at the Denver Botanic Gardens. They were lovely to work with throughout the process! We had a great experience at our tasting and the staff are professional, friendly, and attentive. The food was DELICIOUS, and we got a ton of compliments from our guests. They are very open to whatever you envision and will help make that a reality. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is because they didn't serve our cake to our guests. Even though we had specifically asked for them to do this. This was a big disappointment for us (and our guests!) as we were excited about it, but of course got caught up in the moment and didn't realize it wasn't served until the end of the night.

If you are considering hiring Footers, DO IT. Colbert, Colleen, and the rest of the Footers crew absolutely exceeded all of our wedding catering visions and expectations. After having attended what feels like close to a million weddings over the last 5 years, we wanted something different and delicious for our big day. Colbert listened to my vision and created a plan that was above and beyond. From creative passed appetizers and fun signature drinks (our champagne ladder with fresh flowers is ALL OVER Instagram) to most amazing food stations (mac & cheese, tacos, caprese), cozy desserts, and pizza to-go at the end of the night, our guests are still RAVING about how incredible the food and drinks were. Their bar staff definitely get an honorable mention- we had a very bar-heavy group of guests and no one had to wait in line at all to get drinks throughout the night. The Footers crew and Colbert were patient, fun, and super easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend!!!

Footers catered our wedding, they did great and we were glad to have them as part of the team. They planed the menu around our favorite foods and then they delivered them with style. Everyone was well fed and service was great.
They introduced the idea of the extended cocktail hour with stations type service style that helped kept people mingling and socializing throughout the night. None of the other caterers we sampled worked with us this way to ensure the night was what we wanted.
I would recommend Footers to anyone.

Kelsey and her team went above and beyond for our wedding! First off, they were recommended to us by our two friends who are long-time in the food and bev industry, and had them at their wedding. So glad we chose Footers!
We went through so many proposals and ideas and Kelsey was so patient with it all. We ended up going with 4 passed apps, 3 food stations (bao buns, carving, and tacos), and a dessert bar - it was so fricken yummy! So many guests told us that they usually don't like wedding food but ours was too good! We also ended up contracting alcohol supply through them, and it made the night so easy and simple to coordinate. Kelsey was there all night working and being my husband and I's go to person for everything - her and her team did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Holy smokes did Footers blow our wedding out of the park! I didn't want our wedding and rehearsal dinner food to be just another boring served dinner. Footers honored this and I have to say that we received SO many compliments from our guest regarding the wedding food I was a bit blown away! As the bride I didn't leave a single thing left on my plate (clean plate club) and thats saying a lot on your wedding day! The late night snacks and desserts were a game changer! Not to mention the incredible service and staff that they have! I would love to be able to use Footers again just to see what they could create :)

Food was the #1 priority for our wedding and Footers exceeded expectations for taste and creativity. Our guests we're blown away from start to finish (cocktail hour, plated dinner, late night snacks) and the presentation and service throughout were exceptional. We expanded our scope with Footers a few weeks before our wedding and had them create our seating chart, place cards, menus and table numbers. I couldn't have been more pleased with how everything came together!

Overall, the biggest disappointment on our end came from a dropoff in service and lack of communication after we committed to using Footers. Time and again we attempted to get in touch with our contact at the company, Lindsey, and she would take weeks to get back to us. This lack of communication played itself out when we tried to sign the initial contract, schedule a follow-up tasting, and when finalizing seating charts / event timelines.
In addition, there were a number of smaller issues that accumulated. 1) We were told some serving dishes would be free but instead were billed; certainly don't expect things to be provided free, but if you're going to charge for something that we were told was free I'd like to be informed rather than having to review the bill line by line to find out. 2) We didn't receive a final bill until the day it was due (and only after emailing asking for it) and took us correcting them 3 times before it was accurate. 3) The day off coordinator was someone we had never met or been introduced to. We asked both our wedding planner and the site coordinator if they had known there would be a change and nothing was conveyed to anyone.
Overall, the day off our wedding the performance was fine. They were generally on-time, provided good service, and the food was tasty.
If you're reading this, I'm sure you can appreciate planning an event is time-consuming and stressful. Unlike all of our other vendors, Footers did not make the process easier nor meet our expectations.
The vendor was made aware of our experience prior to posting. We never asked for any refunds and the only feedback we received was that COVID created staffing challenges.

Our coordinator, Kelsey, and the whole crew at Footer's could not have taken better care of us for our wedding reception. We had all the challenges that you can expect with the 2020 Covid rescheduling for a larger event, and they were great through all of it. After 2 years of planning, we were finally able to have our event and not only was the food fantastic, but their staff is the kindest. They took excellent care of us and were a pleasure. Use them for your event. You will NOT regret it.

The food was absolutely incredible and they were able to cater to our eating preferences and food allergies without any problems.
They worked with us to curate an amazing menu that included tons of our favorite foods. Their chefs are top-tier and very creative. True talent!

We are hosting a postponed “sequel” wedding this Sept at Spruce Mountain Ranch, therefore, we have been working with Footers for over 2 years. I rarely make the effort to post reviews, but we have been consistently and completely WOWED by the Footers Team thus far- and we cannot wait for them to work their Magic at our upcoming event. Colbert, Erin, Stephanie & Chef Connor -the ENTIRE Footers Team has been Outstanding! I.E: immediate responses, proactive about timeline/planning, friendly, positive and OFF the charts talented at what they do! We enjoyed two tastings and the food was amazing— better than any 5-star Restaurant we can remember. We have been absolutely thrilled with their efforts- their Professionalism and Expertise has been unmatched during this process! I cannot recommend them highly enough! Rene Taylor,

The Footers team is just the best. They were one of the vendors that worked with us on not only our big wedding celebration, but also on our smaller wedding we had in 2020 due to COVID. From the tasting, all the way to the end of each event, we could not have been more impressed with them. Colbert did a fabulous job coordinating both. Our food was incredible for both events, hot and delicious. But to top it off even more, their service is 12/10. For our COVID wedding, the team was impeccably safe and accommodating moving our wedding to a backyard, even helping us coordinate rentals. For our big celebration, we had several guests who had strict dietary allergies and they were so accommodating and did an amazing job making sure meals were separated and safe (so much so we were thanked by our guests). Not only that, we have to say our servers were troopers. It poured during our wedding, and during part of the service our servers had to run through the rain with our dinner plates. Not only did the food stay dry, but the team had huge smiles on their faces the ENTIRE night (so much so we noticed it visibly during the dinner service). We truly think this is indicative of the Footers family and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for all of your events! Thank you so much again!! – The Mekonnens

So thankful we found this catering company for our wedding. We tried many of the big companies in the Denver area and we’re super disappointed in food quality! The one thing my husband and I wanted was really good food and Kelsey at Footers knocked it out of the park. She was so flexible and patient with my million emails. She met me with kindness and compassion at every step! She was very organized and truly heard our wants and needs! Our guests LOVED the food and have raved about it, which was super important to us! Kelsey met us at the alter at the end of our ceremony with drinks and appetizers and I couldn’t have been more thankful. They are truly a company that understand how special your day is! They went above and beyond to make it a dream come true!

We contracted with Footers for our wedding planned for May 15, 2021 and had to postpone our wedding until 2022 due to concerns around COVID and the number of guests we had travelling in from out of state. We had two POCs throughout the process (Kelsey and Tabitha) and both were great to work with. They were very responsive, adjusting our order as needed and helping us make decisions along the way. Our food was fantastic and we got a lot of comments from guests about how much they enjoyed it. Would recommend Footers for your wedding if you want a seamless and delicious event.

One of the things you hear so frequently is you don't get to eat at your own wedding. The team from Footers took such great care of us that not only did we get to eat, but we were even offered seconds. Many of our guests specifically mentioned how wonderful the food was and said it's the best they've ever had at a wedding. And, the team kept everything safe while efficiently making sure no one went without appetizers, mains, or a tasty late night snack.
Everyone at Footers made us feel truly special from the custom personal touches at our tasting, to the special attention to our VIPs (i.e. parents) at the reception. We had never planned an event like this before, not even knowing what we didn’t know or the right questions to ask, and Kelsey took care of us through the entire process, helping us shape and realize our vision.
Two days before our wedding we had an update to the guest list that meant we needed to adjust several of our tables. Not only was Kelsey immediately available to call and talk through options, but she’d already planned ahead so well that we didn’t have to scramble to update our rental order and already had everything we needed to make the adjustment.
Now that we’ve gone through our leftovers we’re just looking for an excuse to have another event so we can work with Footers again.

We are so glad we hired Footers for our wedding! From our first interactions, Kelsey was kind and responsive, and was excited to accommodate our unique request of having Taiwanese street-food-inspired appetizers. Footers created several custom dishes for us which meant so much to us to be able to bring some of my Chinese heritage to our wedding. They showed us flexibility, compassion, and brought solutions to all the curve balls thrown by the pandemic. Our guests complimented the food all night, and the Footers staff was right there with us feeling the vibe and dancing behind the dessert station, which made us smile :) Their execution was flawless, food was amazing, and every staff member was so incredibly kind! We can't recommend Footers enough!

Footers was AMAZING. The food was decadent without being too over the top. Our guests were thrilled with the meal options. The chef came out and said a few words about each dish that everyone loved (we were a smaller elopement). They wore face masks and gloves for the entire event. I honestly barely knew what was going on because they were so smooth going in and out of the venue. The left overs were destroyed by our guests the next day haha! It was so incredible. THANK YOU!

Flawless would have been an understatement. From the beginning, their customer service was un-paralleled. We worked with Kelsey to set up a tasting and for overall coordination of our wedding. They had so many options to choose from, down to how you would like the side of bread to be presented. They worked to make the meals within our budget and keep it fun (late night snacks, passed coffee, etc). When we stated getting close to the big day, Kelsey helped review the rentals order to make sure we had everything we needed for Footers (and make sure we didn't rent anything we didn't need). Every correspondence with Kelsey was organized and well mannered. I am a big bullet points and a lot of questions girl and she took care of all of that with poise. The day off the Footers Staff made us feel like royalty. They brought out dishes in sets of 10 or 12 and would place them all at the same time. They would stop by my new husband and I's chairs and see if we needed anything. They were absolutely amazing.

Our venue required use of one of six "full service" caterers to ensure both that host/guests were delighted (and to ensure that their facility and kitchen were left the same way the caterer found it! I learned what a "full service caterer" is!) . Even if we had hundreds of caterers to choose from, we couldn't have been more pleased with our choice of Footers and our point person, Kelsey!
Kelsey hosted a call with the Bride and Groom and me (Mother of the Bride) to understand what we were looking for. In our case, it was allergy-friendly food (as both the Bride and Groom have several food allergies, as did other wedding party members and guests) so no guest went hungry. We were planning an "elegant barn wedding" so touches of rustic, but still wanted the food to be first class.
Two weeks later Kelsey emailed us three complete menu options, all of which took into account the accommodations we had requested. From those three we could mix and match salads, sides, entrees, desserts, etc. We were thrilled to have so many options (especially given the many restrictions we had shared). A month or so later in fall 2019, when my husband and I were in Colorado visiting, Kelsey organized a tasting for all of us....and what a fun afternoon that was, with Chef Chris presenting the four of us with course after course of fabulous food! Our biggest challenge was eliminating items! LOL!
We finalized our buffet menu, signed our contract and made our deposit. Then in early 2020 COVID hit! There were months when we didn't know if we could host a wedding at all. However, the Bride and Groom were adamant that they would get married on their wedding date, at their venue, even if only immediate family was there. I reached out to Kelsey and shared that we were hoping to still have a wedding, and even if it was very small, hoped that Footers could still be a part of it. We stayed in touch over the next few months and finally knew that based on the county where our venue was located, we could have a celebration.
Footers made all kinds of changes to ensure the safety of our guests and their staff (masks, a buffet where their team served guests what they wanted so only gloved servers were handling utensils, mini plates for all appetizers and desserts to be served (versus a dessert display) ...all while honoring our original menu!
On the "day of" their team executed flawlessly, serving almost 100 guests and our vendors. Everyone loved the food, and any time I asked a staff member for something, the response was immediate and I could see the smiles, even through masks! Best of all, Kelsey was part of the team there that evening!
Footers has a great team approach and that teamwork shows in delivering great food and ensuring a wonderful experience! I will call them any time I want to throw a party in Denver!

I had three and a half months to plan my wedding this year during the pandemic. Kelsey from the Footers team was my coordinator. She and her team were phenomenal. It was so easy to plan. We had a small wedding with 21 guests in the family backyard. They arranged all the rentals for us with their partner. The menu she put together was delicious. She came on site to see the backyard. We also went to the Footers office in Denver for a tasting and to see the rentals. The hospitality was great. The food was great. Their ribs are DELICIOUS. She was responsive throughout the whole process. Their service on the day of the wedding was great. Guests loved the food. I fully recommend.

Footers was so amazing to work with! Due to COVID we had to postpone our wedding and then cut our guest list substantially. Footers was right there with us the whole time and made an otherwise stressful process super easy! Before the COVID chaos, they were extremely helpful with arranging our menu and our tasting experience was super fun. On our wedding day, the Footers team was so friendly and professional and everyone raved about the food! Footers was worth every penny and I would definitely recommend them.

Due to COVID, we ended up having to re-plan our wedding 3 times! We ultimately pivoted to a small backyard wedding and after speaking with a few catering companies, we decided on Footers and I'm SO glad we did! From the start, Footers was so professional, responsive, and caring - They put so much thought and effort into planning all the details down to every last bit! Our main contacts were Katie and Colbert, and both were gems! I thoroughly enjoyed working with both! Footers also helped us coordinate the rentals and everything from setup, delivery and pickup happened flawlessly!
On the day of, Footers showed up and MADE IT HAPPEN! Our wedding turned out so beautiful. All our guests raved about the food. Everything was delicious. At the end of the night, Footers did all the cleanup and even packaged up leftovers for us :) I can't say enough great things about Footers. Without a doubt, I would hire Footers for any/all my future events! Thank you Footers!

Footers food and service is AMAZING! I was so impressed by the menu they were able to serve even with my gluten and dairy allergies! Never have I had more peace with a company cooking for me! All the guests loved the food and never knew dairy had been left out! I highly recommend Macroons to be included in every order possible! From the tasting to our event Footers was on top of communication and delivery.

Having a caterer that could accommodated our dietary and allergic restrictions within our guest list while still providing food that reflected what my husband and I enjoy to eat was our top priority when it came to hosting a wedding. Both my Husband and I are huge home cooks and our guest all knew it. Not only could they make any dish we had Vegan upon request, they also made Pad Thai without Peanuts! I mean WHO CAN DO THAT? If you are needing a caterer and don't go with Footers, you are making a huge mistake.

I can not recommend Footers enough! They were amazing to work with (shout out to Katie!), made sure that we ate, packed us a to go box, and made THE BEST food. Food quality and presentation was on point! Seriously made our wedding that much better and really captured our vision!

Footers was our fourth and final tasting with a caterer before we decided who to go with. Before we walked out the door, we knew Footers was the right choice for us.
During the tasting, their staff went above and beyond to make us feel special and understand the feel of our event. We got to tour the space, meet a lot of the staff, and of course, try the food (which was out of this world). The vibe in their office is uniquely familial and you can tell everyone there is passionate about what they do.
Our coordinator, Kelsey, was so kind and professional through the whole process. Footers had the quickest response time of any vendor, and Kelsey sent us updated quotes for every change. She understood what was important to us and made great recommendations throughout the process. Kelsey knows her venues well and confidently helped us visualize even the smallest detail as we went through the year-long process of planning. Most impressively, we had a last-minute guest count change and Kelsey helped us squeeze it in and save some money the week of the wedding.
The Footers team was beyond impressive the day of our event. The catering captain had a great handle on the event and every detail was executed with an attention to detail I've never experienced at a wedding. This company presents their food beautifully and serves it with a flair that feels special and like they're proud of it.
Finally, THE FOOD. Everything was just as good, just as fresh, and just as beautiful as it was during the tasting. This is not usual catered wedding food. I would pay good money at a restaurant for any of the dishes served, so the fact that they do it in a temporary kitchen is amazing. Our guests could not stop raving about everything from the charcuterie to the steak.
Footers was worth every dollar. They were great to work with and I cannot recommend them highly enough. We will use them for any catered event in the future. Thank you!

If you're clueless about wedding catering and what to expect like I was....Footer's is your must go-to. Their customer service blew me away and most importantly...their food and deserts are so impressive in-house and at the wedding venue. They truly have it figured out. From the customized service during your food tasting, all the way to the very end of your wedding day, I can say I did not stress ONCE about my food & wedding cake because they took care of everything. Which is the way it's supposed to be :) they serve the bride & groom first to make sure you eat, they even went out of their way to find us during cocktail hour to make sure we got to taste the hors d'oeuvres. Needless to say, they are experts in their industry and you shouldn't hesitate to choose them as your food caterers.

Footer’s was incredible!! We worked with Katie and she did a fantastic job with both the wedding and the six months leading up to it. Footer’s was with us every step of the way, from (multiple) tastings and menu selection to coordinating the furniture rentals, and setting up the day of. They made everything so easy for us and were great with making suggestions where we needed them. We had an amazing wedding and are so pleased with our choice. We got so many compliments from our guests on how good the food was. You will not regret making Footers your wedding cater!

Footers knows how to throw a party! Our event manager, Kelsey, did a wonderful job understanding our needs, wants, and budget constraints for our wedding, and put together a great proposal. The on-site team, including Ronney the chef and David the party pilot, helped make sure everything went smoothly day-of. Everyone I asked had a different favorite thing, which tells me everything was wonderful! We did our music ourselves and David even helped start the playlist when we walked down the aisle together. Thanks Footers for a perfect night.

We could not recommend Footers enough! Katie was amazing through out the entire process! Everything from the tasting to our big day it was perfect! Everyone was so professional and the food was delicious! The mini desserts were a huge hit at our wedding! And the cocktail hors d'oeuvres were just what we asked for (grilled cheese and tomato soup as well as pigs in a blanket). We would use them 100 times over.

Footer's was absolutely AMAZING to work with. We we're lucky enough to have Kelsey as our go-to for everything & she made the process seamless & fun. From amazing food tastings, in-person e-mails, & meeting in person to make sure we felt comfortable & relaxed on the day of. All of our guests raved about the food, the service, & overall look of the event. I can honestly say it was the best wedding food I've ever had. I would HIGHLY recommend Footer's for all of your catering/food & beverage needs!

Footers Catering was outstanding! My husband and I live in Chicago and got married in Estes Park, Colorado. Kelsey was excellent at getting back to us with any questions we had throughout the planning process. Our tasting blew us away with how organized and welcoming their company was. Our guests continue to tell us how delicious the food was and how amazing the service was throughout the entire evening.

Footers catering was a joy to work with, their food is AMAZING and they are an all around great addition to any party or event! From the moment we reached out to Footers about catering our wedding all the way past wedding day they have made the process simple, easy and stress free.
We worked with Kelsey for most of our coordination and planning and she is so sweet, responsive and easy to work with!! Day of we had Colleen on site to make sure our day went perfectly! We couldnt of done it without them and the awesome catering staff day of. They were so friendly, happy and attentive to us and all of our guests.
The food tasted just as great as it did in our tastings (we had two since my parents live out of town and couldnt make our first one but we wanted them to try the food since they were footin' the bill :) Footers was more than accommodating even though i couldnt be at that). Sometimes when you cook for a few people the food really changes when you cook for a mass group but we did not notice that at all with our wedding food. Even better than the food were their desserts!! We loved the pumpkin spice whoopie pies that we custom requested as a spin off to lil debbie oatmeal pies (husband loves). i ate at least 10 the day after with our leftovers they packed up for us.
If you are planning a wedding or event can't recommend footer's catering enough!! xoxo

The #1 thing my husband and I cared about for our wedding was the food and Footers delivered! We worked with Kelsey who was amazing throughout the whole process and thought of every detail. We received so many compliments from our guests on our food, especially the goat cheese mashed potatoes and lamb meatballs with taziki. Although I think everyone's favorite touch was the to go pizzas at the end of the night. I would highly recommend Footers to any one looking for high-quality food and service at their wedding.

Footers is an amazing company to work with. We had a non-traditional wedding where both my husband and I and all of our guests were dressed up for a Renaissance Festival celebration! We worked with Katie who was not only curious about our wedding theme but super enthusiastic. She helped us find cool goblets to toast our guests with, managed a bright and colorful color scheme for our linens, and was overall just fabulous. The organization itself it awesome (runs very smoothly, I always felt like they had my back) but the FOOD ITSELF is so good. We wanted to good food to be a big priority for our wedding and Footers absolutely delivered on that. We got compliments on every dish served including the roast pig they made for us on site. Can't recommend this company highly enough!!

Footers was incredible! From the tasting to planning to day of, they were professional, organized, and the food was delicious. I have a lot of dietary restrictions and was happy to find a caterer that easily accommodated all of our guests. Jamie is incredibly organized and easy to work with, and an absolute pro when it comes to weddings. We loved working with Footers and are so glad we chose them for our wedding!
