Utah celebrations did an outstanding job at our wedding reception. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The fruit was very sweet (I want to know their source!). We would use them again for any event we need catered.

Our chef has a good eye when it comes to fruit picking. We are so happy your enjoyed our service.
The food was excellent and beautifully displayed. We received many compliments.
Utah Celebrations was incredible! We loved the food and the service was exceptional. Kim and Zanna were always available to help answer questions and they were very professional and prompt. The food was incredible, we did the 4 hors d'oeuvres p...
ackage for our reception, and everything looked great and tasted even better. We got compliments on how good the food was. They made us our plates for the luncheon, and made us to-go boxes at the end of the night, which were life savers. Thank you Utah Celebrations! We hope to work with you again in the future!
Any questions?
Punctual, courteous, flexible, and professional!

Thank you so much!! We are so happy you enjoyed our service!
Utah Celebrations was so easy to work with and was the perfect choice for our wedding. Our guests all loved the food and they even gave us boxes for our getaway car so we could eat more later!
The crepe bar set up and hot chocolate bar were so...

Thanks so much for taking the time to review us Brian ! We loved being apart of your special day!
The food was excellent. Several of our guests commented that this was the best catered food they had ever eaten. The staff was friendly, punctual, and attentive. We couldn’t have been happier and, honestly, in future would not even bother check...
ing out other caterers as Utah Celebrations was amazing and affordable! The only recommendation I have is to put a label next to the Tuscan salad dressing as it looks similar to gravy and we had several guests mistakenly put it on their mashed potatoes.
Response from the Vendor on 10/19/2022
I am sorry, that must of tasted odd & brought a whole new flavor to mash taters. We appreciate the feedback about that and want to thank you for taking the time to review us & for allowing us to be part of your event. Hopefully more in the futu...

THANK YOU !!!! You are the best for taking time to review us :)
We selected Utah Celebrations after reading the wonderful reviews from their clientele.
My initial contact was with Zanna who took down the details for the date and venue. From there, Kim-Marie took care of all my questions and requests. S...
he was very attentive and I appreciate how quick she was to respond to emails and provide me with updates and reminders.
The night of our daughter’s reception was wonderful. When we arrived at the venue, Kim-Marie was there with Sarah, Milo, and Jake. What a great experience it was working with them. They had everything set up for the evening and were putting out the beautiful fruit display.
We chose the “Sweet and Savory Crepe Bar” which was an excellent choice. Our guests loved the crepes alongside the fruit display. Milo and Jake certainly know their craft as they cooked and flipped the crepes.
Sarah had “To Go” boxes for the bride and groom and was attentive throughout the evening. She took care of matters professionally and kindly.
We definitely recommend Utah Celebrations Catering! It was a very positive experience!!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/14/2022
Thank you for the lovely words. We are so happy to hear you had a positive catering experience with us. Thank you for being awesome clients to work with :)
The Liege waffles at our daughter’s wedding reception were DELICIOUS. Not only was the food amazing but the best part was honestly the amazing staff!!! They were so attentive and courteous- it made the reception go so smoothly. They kept the w...
affle bar stocked and cleaned up everything afterward. We added the extra $50 for cake service and it was worth not having that stress. Plus- they prepared and packaged a to-go batch just for the newlyweds that they took with them on their honeymoon. So many people commented on how wonderful the food was! We plan to use them again for future events.
I’ll start by saying the food was absolutely delicious, all our guests kept complimenting it and we loved it as well. The reason why they are receiving 4 stars is because I had specifically asked for them to scoop/serve the food as guests were ...
going through the buffet because of covid I didn’t want everyone touching the serving utensils. However I found out the day after the wedding that it was not the case which was quite disappointing. I was also approached not in the most kind of ways to be reminded that I had a $76.10 balance due (which I was told there was no rush to pay). Again, food was delicious
Utah Celebrations Catering was absolutely amazing! Not only was the service impecable but the food was SO delicious! All my guests were raving about the food for days after the wedding. I even had a guest tell me that it was the best food they ...
have ever had at a wedding. We chose the Filet Medallion and Celebration Chicken Package. I rarely eat red meat but the filet was so delicious that I couldn’t resist!! Zanna was so helpful throughout the whole process and the service staff was so kind during the wedding!! They truly did an amazing job. I could not be happier with my whole experience.
Zanna was great to work with. The food was absolutely delicious! The prime rib, chicken Marsala, and risotto, were literally to die for! The bacon wrapped shrimp and avocado egg rolls were also a huge hit! The lemon bars and cheesecake brownie ...
bites were wonderful as well. The asparagus was undercooked a little, but otherwise everything was outstanding! And the service was great, we didn’t have to worry about anything, they kept our guests full and happy! Will absolutely recommend always!
The food was amazing. We had a smaller wedding so we did buffet style for the dinner and the reception and I made sure to try everything because it all looked so good. And we got all the leftovers after along with a little to go meal they put t...
ogether for us afterwards! We loved it!
Utah Celebrations Catering provided the food for our wedding luncheon two years ago. From the start they were easy to work with and completely professional, even when we had guests with dietary restrictions to work around. On our wedding day, t...
he staff was extremely helpful, well prepared, and they clearly knew their business well. And while their catering is very affordable, the food was absolutely to die for. My whole family is still raving about their risotto and their mango mousse cake to this day. At the end of the luncheon, they had extra boxed meals already prepared for my wife and I to take with us, which was also great.

Thank you so much for your kind words! As a family run business it means a lot to us. It makes me so happy that you are still thinking about our food after all this time. I hope that we can be part of another special day for your family in th...

UCC was the best thing I did for my wedding. The food was indescribable and the staff was excellent. I worried a lot about the food for the wedding but it ended up being my favorite part. I haven’t heard a single complaint from any of the guest...
s. I had to change my menu and requirements *a lot* because of COVID but Zanna handled it so well and was amazing to work with. I would give these guys 10 out of 5 stars if I could.
Response from the Vendor on 12/09/2020
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to give such kind words. We are a small family run business and this means so much to us. The wedding was lovely and so much fun. I'm so glad you enjoyed our food, I hope you had a chan...

Once again, thank you for choosing Utah Celebrations Catering!
We were originally drawn to Utah Celebrations because of the wide variety of options, and up front pricing. We worked closely with Zanna, who helped us perfect our menu and answered all of our random questions. She was so helpful in getting eve...
rything in order for us. We were a little nervous on how the food would taste without testing it, but it was SO good. Guests raved about our sandwiches, salads, fruit, and cookies that day. The hostesses even brought us plates of food because we were too busy to eat. And it was delicious!!! We were so happy to get to take home pre-packaged leftovers to keep enjoying!
I was nervous for the wedding food because we hadn’t done a tasting but it everyone raved about it and went back for seconds. They were so great at making sure they were prepared for everything and answering any questions. The table settings we...
re set up just the way I wanted. They also prepared doggie bags for the groom and I so we would be sure to eat that night. Two thumbs up.
Utah Celebrations catered our wedding and they were amazing!! From the food to the staff, everything was perfect.
If you're looking for catering, HIRE UTAH CELEBRATIONS!! The food was absolutely delicious, so so many compliments on it! Besides the amazing food, the staff was so professional, made everything work so well, and even filled the drinks we had (...
as we catered our drinks from somewhere else). They offered to cut the cake as well (for a small fee) and did it so quickly and nicely! I would give them more than 5 stars if I could! So professional, and so delicious!!!
The food was so good! All of my guests commented on how amazing it was. You won’t beat the price either. The staff was amazing as well- so polite & professional. Everything was ready on time. Would definitely use them again!
The catering was awesome! We got so many compliments on the food we had at the wedding. The company was so easy to work with and the servers we so kind.
We were very satisfied with Utah Celebrations Catering. We received compliments from all of our guests on the food we served and really enjoyed it. Communication was good with the vendor leading up to the event. The only issue we had was that w...
e were hoping to be saved a boxed up plate of food at the end of the night (at least for my husband and I), as we had read many reviews that this is pretty standard. At the end of the night the lead server informed us she had thrown everything away (without consulting us). We were pretty disappointed and communicated this to the company. They were apologetic. I would recommend working with them overall, but would be specific with any needs or expectations you have for your wedding.
Absolutely fantastic. The food was delicious and I got many compliments. The servers were professional and kind.
Very great experience! And AMAZING food!!!
Our guests raved about how delicious all of the food was from our wedding. We could not have been happier. We were able to create our own package of food options which were all delicious. They even let our family take home any extra food, as we...
ll as to-go boxes for my groom and myself since we didn't have time to eat at the reception.
I have to say what I did get to eat of the food from Utah Celebrations was very good. He obviously uses quality ingredients and cares about what goes into the final product. I don't know if they were short staffed or what happened the day of my...
wedding but my expectations for services were not met. We had 130 guests and our caterer showed up with 2 servers and 1 cook. We had fresh made sliders and fries that were cooked on site. When we were planning for the event Utah Celebrations lead us to believe that the food would all be ready to eat at our specified time. Not only did they start serving food late but they only brought out 6-8 servings every 5-10 minutes. This was not the pace of service that we discussed and I had many guests complain about the length of time it took for them to get food.
If you want everyone to compliment you on the food at your wedding and you want everyone to love every moment of every bite. THIS is the place to get your food. It is the best bang for your buck and the food was great. Granted I didn't try it b...
ecause I was busy running around but I am so glad everyone loved it!!
I have to say I was very disappointed with Utah Celebrations Catering. They definitely seem amazing in the beginning and then it all goes downhill from there. Its like once they have your business and deposit they stop caring or returning your ...
calls. When we first met Steven the owner he seemed amazing, I was so happy with him and the prices then it just turned into and unorganized unprofessional situation. They wont return your calls even when you are trying to pay the remaining deposit, after 3 messages left I finally had to call Stevens cell phone. Never got a receipt of final payment. The day of the wedding they were late and when I spoke with him they said they had been there and set up a cheese plate....Well needless to say we were at the venue and nobody was there... finally showed up. The only thing that saved them is their servers were very good. I have heard the same things about how they dont call you back and how unprofessional they are. Just be aware you get what you pay for. My wedding venue has decided to ban Utah Celebrations catering after this year due to their terrible service and communication.
Everyone who came to our wedding has told us how AMAZING the food at our reception was! It tasted amazing, the presentation was awesome, and unlike other places like Culinary Crafts, etc., they didn't stick us with any hidden charges EVER. What...
we had them do at the reception for about $5000, Culinary Crafts quoted us at $15,000! They were very straightforward and professional and executed everything even better than we had expected. Use them!!
I didnt get to try the food at the wedding but everyone loved the food and selection!! I tried it at the tasting and it was really good and you cant beat the price :)
Steven was great to work with and the food was fantastic!
We used Utah Celebrations for our wedding reception dinner. The food was delicious, the service was very professional, and it was a great value when trying to feed a bunch of people. I would recommend them to anyone!
I was very happy to work with Utah Celebrations Catering. They did my wedding on very short notice (I was too busy with too many other things to remember this!), but did a wonderful job nonetheless. Their prices are honest and there aren't hidd...
en fees and such. I got many compliments about the food, especially the crepe bar.
My only complaint is that when we were trying to book them, they kept getting information wrong, but we'll blame that on it being over the phone.
There is not one single negative thing that I could say about this caterer... from booking, assistance in choosing our meal, to arriving at our venue in sufficient time to comfortably set up... during the wedding the staff was incredibly person...
able, yet maintained the appropriate distance from the main event as to not interfere at all! Absolutely DELICIOUS crepes, cheese platter and chicken marsala! It's refreshing that there are still companies out there that take as much pride in their product AND service as Utah Celebrations Catering!
The owner/operator was easy to talk to, my phone calls were returned in a timely fashion, and most importantly, the food was amazing. After meeting with a few other options, I went to a food tasting by Utah Celebrations, and I was sold. They ha...
ve a lot of options and can do special requests, and their prices are some of the most reasonable ones I found. I have already recommended them to friends.
Their service was fantastic, they plate the food really well, the display was beautiful, and everything was put out right on time.
I met them at a local bridal fair and they were so kind to everyone. They were also so easy and laid back to work with. On the day of the wedding they were always professional and they even asked us if we wanted some of the food we ordered, whi...
ch was crepes. They were amazing! We were on a budget and they were not expensive at all!
