As a bride planning my own wedding, I sought help and recommendations from friends and vendors as to who to look for when hiring my caterer. Salt of the earth was recommended to me...
by my venue, and two friends who had used them in the past when they got married. I started this search September of 2022 for my wedding October 2023. I reached out to Salt of the earth for my catering needs, in hind sight I should have shopped around a little before booking. Red flag number one... when I initiated my interest via email on Sept 12th 2022 I got zero response, no phone call, no email, nothing. I didn't think much of it since I was over a year out from my wedding. November 2022 rolled around and I inquired again, since I was still getting recommendations for Salt of the Earth as a great caterer. I finally heard back with an apology for not getting back to me because it was wedding season and they were so incredible busy. Understandable, since I have heard such great things. We had our tasting, we got all our questions answered and pricing figured out and I paid a $250 deposit to reserve them for my big day on November 9th 2022 (timeline is important I promise). After I paid my money, they fell off out of communication completely. I had so much else going on with planning that it didn't cross my mind to be concerned about getting a contract or getting them payment because that in my mind was their job to reach out to me to get another portion of my payment and my final head count. July 2023 rolls around and I have my final head count and I reach out to find out if they need that and if there is a contract or payment that needs to be made. I get no response. In August, 2 months out from my wedding I reach out again, and again I get no response. Finally September hits and I call, email, call and email and get no response. Finally Sherry reaches out with an email at 12:19am Sept 16th apologizing for not reaching out but there was a death in the family and they were working on getting caught up. I responded with condolences and gave it a few days. Sept 20th I reached out again (18 days away from wedding day) to finalize details. Again I received no response. I then call the number for their business, no answer, their voicemail also states they will not call back unless a voicemail is left. I left one each day I called and never got a call back. Still no email response either. I even went to their store front since it is so close to my home and there was no one there. At this point I am panicking because I have all my family and friends coming to celebrate our wedding and I have no idea what I am going to feed them. On September 21st I emailed to cancel my booking with them since I had to find another caterer to handle my event. I could not risk not having food, and my confidence in Salt of the Earth was just not there and I had been given zero evidence that I could count on them to actually show up. The minute I sent the email to cancel my booking, Sherry emailed back saying they were all set to take care of me and that she had sent a contract over (hard to believe since I have no evidence of a contract ever being emailed) and basically ended it with keeping my deposit and stating I had to do what made me conformable. I do believe due to the lack of response and professionalism on their end they should have refunded me. Being 2 weeks away from my wedding and not even having a contract or confirmation is unbelievable to me that they can run a business like that. I know this is long, I just hope I can save any other couples out there the headaches and stress I endured from Salt of the Earth catering.
The food and dessert was delicious and timely. Patrick, the chef, is such a nice man and very accommodating for food sensitivities; my entire wedding was gluten free, I had 2 guest...
s with a lot of restrictions, and he even made a small meal for my doggies.
The reason I only put 4 stars is the communication. My wedding planner and I would have to email 1-2 times, call and leave messages before we would finally get an email back from the coordinator. On average, it took 3 WEEKS to get a response. If you book simply for the amazing food, make sure you do it well in advance of your event because the communication did not improve over the entire year we were in contact with them about our wedding.
Salt of the Earth catered our wedding this past weekend and the food was simply amazing. We received so many compliments that the food tasted great and they even provided vegetaria...
n meals to our guests with food restrictions. The catering team did such a great job with our reception set up and tear down and we were just so pleased with them all-around.
I don’t have enough great things to say about Salt of the Earth Catering. This company is AMAZING. We used SOTE for our wedding and it was a hit all around. Patrick and Sherry were...
extremely helpful and answered every question I had leading up to our big day - no matter how small or dumb it was. The day of, we knew we were in great hands and they executed everything we asked for perfectly. They were such a pleasure to be around and truly are a great company. Not only was the customer service great, but the food is to die for! We did the Italian buffet and barely had any leftovers because guests absolutely loved it! When we went to our tasting a few months before the wedding, they accommodated an extra person without complaint and helped us make sure our menu was perfect and exactly what we wanted. If you’re looking for a budget friendly caterer that delivers excellent customer service and food, go with Salt of the Earth, you won’t be disappointed!!
We were recommended to Salt of the Earth through our venue and we loved having them as our wedding caterers! We had a wonderful tasting, Patrick & Sherry were so sweet, helpful and...

veral times and we needed to add in some last minute requests, but they took it all in stride and helped us out. They have an amazing selection of food available for a fair price, and the food served at our wedding was delicious! The staff that worked at our wedding were also very professional and courteous. We are also grateful they handled the cutting of the cake as well. We really appreciate everything!
This is an amazing company, they catered our wedding a few weeks ago and everything was perfect. The food was great, their bartenders were so kind. Thank you for everything!
We used Salt of the Earth for a taco bar at our wedding and they delivered exactly what we had in mind. The price was right and the food tasted great, several of our guests thought...
so too... Sherry was a dream to work with with prompt responses and willingness to work with us on our guest count. The catering staff was friendly and did a great job with everything.
Patrick and all his servers were amazing! We got so many compliments on all the food we had, even the gluten free pasta. We would definately recommend them
The food is absolutely incredible, but really look over the contract to make sure everything is as you want. We went for a taste testing for gluten and peanut free food, and then d...

uda mac and cheese, bacon cole slaw, salad, and bbq. Everything was great and the price was incredibly reasonable.
The tastings were fun and yummy! They actually allowed us to do a second one because we were undecided on sides. We had done a couple tastings of places that would’ve been much more expensive and went with Salt of the Earth because the food was just as good but much cheaper.
We had also planned to provide our own appetizers, but as the day got closer we realized we were biting off more than we could chew. Patrick provides us with a fruit and cheese plate that was only a few bucks a person and totally worth it!
We would highly recommend them!
Having enjoyed a number of meals catered by SOTE over the years, I can honestly say both their food and service are consistently great. We recently chose them to cater our daugh...

guests talked about how great their staff was. Food was AMAZING! We had tacos and everyone loved that you could personalize it. The tasting before was also nice because they take into consideration anything you might need/want that day.

s far as communication I did have some trouble getting a hold of them in the months before the wedding, but they did always respond. The weeks actually leading up the wedding they were extremely responsive. Would definitely recommend.
Patrick from Salt of the Earth did an absolutely amazing job catering our wedding on August 5th, 2017 at Edgewood Inn in Woodland Park, Colorado.
The quality of food was one of ...
the items that was high on our priority list. After trying several other caterers, Salt of the Earth was definitely the winner. In addition to the delicious food (which we are still getting compliments about), Patrick and Sherry are great at helping you through the process and answering any questions you have.
We highly recommend Salt of the Earth for your wedding or any event!
Absolutely loved the food and the service the day of. Our only set back was in contacting them for questions, concerns, and payment. I would try via e-mail and sometimes wait two w...
eeks before they responded. If I called them it would take 1 week before a response. With that being said, they showed up on time for the event, provided there own tables, table cloths, and all serving/table setting items. The food was delicious and everyone had great things to say.
We needed a place to hold our rehearsal dinner where we could fit 36 people and feed them a great meal at an affordable price, and Salt of the Earth fit the bill perfectly! They wi...
ll cater at your event, but they also have a room you can use if you need a space, which is included in the price of their menu. They decorated everything in our wedding colors, and we chose to use their disposable dinnerware which worked wonderfully (they also have regular dinnerware for a slight up charge). We had their Italian menu and added a salad bar. They served water, iced tea, lemonade, and coffee as part of the meal. They also let us bring in our own wine and they opened and poured it for us at no additional charge (they do have a full bar). They have a computer, video screen, microphone, and amp, so toasts and slideshows can all be done there. Sherry and Patrick were wonderful to work with and very accommodating. Great food for a great price!
