Horsewood Catering and Personal Chef Services

ut they all did! Thanks again Horsewood team!

in fall 2021 and we absolutely fell in love with Horsewood Catering. The Chef/co-owner, Aaron, was very pleasant and took 30 minutes to get to know us and help create a individualized menu based off of our tastes. We asked if we could put down a deposit on our dates and he let us know that he “was our chef until we tell him otherwise” meaning he would block out our date as they don’t want people to be pressured on a deposit. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to have them as our catering company. Their sense of family and Idaho culture mirrored ours and the vibe we wanted for our intimate wedding Over the next few weeks we had daily correspondence to solidify a menu including appetizers, dinner, and dessert and agreed upon pricing. With everything set, they sent over a contract to be reviewed. We responded that same day asking the best way to put the deposit down and asked for a minor change to the contract (change quantity of 4 people attending the wedding). Of note, they had already signed the contract on their end stating they agreed to that date. The next day, we received an email (not even a phone call) informing us that they had a COVID bride in contract from 2020 deciding to change her date to ours. After we requested a phone conversation regarding this, we asked if their Policy was to give COVID brides priority over ones already in contract and they said no - if they are in contract for a date they are not breaking it. We were floored by this response as we were clearly in contract. It was clear to us that it was strictly a business decision as they mentioned the other party had over 300 compared to our 50 people. After a disheartening conversation, they eventually admitted they were in the wrong but offered no action to correct the situation. While COVID has taken a clear toll on everyone and there is no rule book for how to handle things it was disappointing to experience such a double standard in their policy and breaking of our verbal and written contract. Especially when we offered to place a deposit on multiple occasion but got told there was no need. I’m sure they are a great company but I wish in this situation they would have upheld their company values that brought us to book with them to begin with. My advice to anyone that is even considering this company is to get a written contract before even discussing terms as their word clearly can be broken in the right situation.

bout finding a caterer for my wedding, after all it is a huge part in your big day. I wanted to find a menu that was unique and exciting, not just your typical chicken or fish with a side salad (BORING!!) ... Luckily, I came across Horsewood while surfing the internet and I was instantly intrigued. They replied right away and explained how their process for catering works. Chef Aaron and his team are phenomenal at what they do. My husband and I had an idea of what we wanted to have on the menu, and Horsewood went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. My guests (many who traveled from France) are still raving about the food, and it was HANDS DOWN the best food they have ever had at a wedding! You will not be disappointed if you hire this amazing team, they will make your wedding day into the dream you wanted it to be!

menu was and how beautifully the food was displayed. I would recommend Horsewood Catering to any bride that is looking for fun, delicious and personalized food!
