We know not everyone loves to cook, or entertain, or plan events.
But we do!
And we do it all
FOR THE LOVE OF FOOD!
And our food is amazing.
It’s made by hand, with the freshest seasonal ingredients available and a creative flair that is sure to make your event uniquely you and even more memorable!
Our aim is to be
DELICIOUSLY UN-PRETENTIOUS.
Because down-to-earth IS delicious.
Why Do We Cater?
We believe that by preparing excellent food
we can create communities,
and we believe that communities can affect change.
So, if A equals B and B equals C...
then, we believe that food can be a force for change.
Yep. Good food can help make good things happen.
Think about it.
Q: What’s the quickest way to get a bunch of your
friends together?
A: Call and tell them there’s good food and drinks
at your house.
What happens when your friends get together?
They talk.
They laugh.
Sometimes they might cry.
They share frustrations and joys.
They share ideas.
They argue.
They debate.
They affect each other’s outlooks.
They encourage.
They reminisce.
They give advice.
They take advice.
They ignore advice, and the next time they get together they talk about how they should have taken that advice.
This is why we cater.
We are in the business of giving people a reason to
be in the same room...and there is no better reason for a bunch of people to be in the same room than to eat.
And there is no better ice breaker than
“ Man, this is good food. Who catered? ”
Non-profits and community organizations understand the psychology of the buffet table. That’s why most fundraisers include good food.
That’s why we participate in community events.
And this is why we go to work
We want to feed the bodies of neighbors,
so they can feed each other’s minds and spirits.

Highly recommend for all of your food needs!
Colorful did our wedding cocktail hour and reception food and people are STILL talking about it weeks later. The ginger snap peas were the biggest hit amongst the entire crowd. The best part about Colorful was their ability to be creative with us. We got married at Highland and they used their products wherever possible in the steak marinade, espresso brownies, etc. and it really put a special touch for us since we have a very sentimental relationship with Highland Brewing. Collectively, my husband, myself and the ambitious staff got our food brains working and came up with a menu that was completely catered to us and our palate preferences. Everyone kept repeating our impressed they were with everything: beer pretzels, Highland Brewing beer cheese, asparagus and melon wrapped prosciutto, grilled cheeses, pimento cheese truffles, smoked trout Caesar dressed salad, red and gold beets salad with fresh mozz, soy and Highland pilsner marinated flank steak, pesto chicken, ginger sautéed pees, garlic goat and cheddar grits bar with all the toppings as options to build your own, roasted root vegetable salad, local breads, fresh homemade teas, and espresso brownies with Mexican spiced ganache made with Highland brew, of course. Needless to say, our menu was diverse and we could not have been happier about choosing Colorful. They fully delivered and are such talented culinary professionals. They were always quick to respond to our inquiries which is a huge plus. My husband and I were up until 4am on our wedding night still eating leftovers, it was that amazing. Pretty sure they turned some people who dislike grits into grits lovers.

Delicious food and awesome people to work with
Colorful Palate was absolutely phenomenal to work with. We had a backyard summer wedding—a beautiful setting but definitely a little more challenging than other more traditional wedding venues! They were fantastic across the board—from quick and responsive communication, to amazing menu choices, to delivering all the way out in Lake Lure. And the FOOD OH MY GOODNESS!!! I had so many people come up to me during our wedding and ask where the food was from! People were just besides themselves over every single item. Working with Colorful Palate allowed us to keep in line with our wedding’s backyard, homegrown theme with food that was both upscale and soul warming all at the same time. I would absolutely recommend their services to any one needing some delicious, classy Southern cuisine.

Amazing food for our wedding!
I highly recommend Colorful Palate! They catered our wedding and were absolutely wonderful to work with! They provided a custom Tex-Mex family style meal for our guests, complete with appetizers, salads, and mixers for our margaritas. Our guests are still raving about the food! Colorful Palate was exceptional to work with and coordinated cooking in the kitchen at our venue (which was 1.5 hours away from Asheville, no less!) The walk from the kitchen to dinner was quite long, but Colorful Palate was extremely organized and their staff was amazing. They were even careful to provide alternative options for our guests with food allergies/sensitivities. Colorful Palate was a self-supported force of food at our wedding and cocktail hour and dinner went like clockwork. Hands down would hire Colorful Palate again and again, a million times over! Thank you for everything, Ragan and Tara! Your creativity and talent made all of the food at our wedding not only delightful to eat but also delightful to look at!!
