Amazing and Delicious

Crave did amazing for a seated dinner. All of our guests really enjoyed the food. The Chicken Piccata I decided to have was so delicious! They did our cake as well. We originally were going to go with a funfetti but after trying their carrot cake we had to change our mind. Bar service was also amazing. We had the "Marry Me" Mule and it was a hit with all our guests. They were also super accommodating when we needed to come in on a weekend to do our tasting as we lived out of town and couldn't take time off to come during the week.

The Most Delicious Wedding Food Ever

Food was one of the most important aspects of our wedding for us, and we couldn't have asked for a better vendor to make our culinary dreams come true. So many of our guests have said that our food was the best wedding food they've ever had. Meredith and the team were creative and accommodating and so inspiring when it came to our menu. I would stop your search now and go with Crave Catering for your wedding. It's one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Amazing Food, Professionalism, and Service

Meredith and the whole team at Crave was wonderful to work with. We received so many compliments from our guests on the deliciousness of the food, the professionalism of the servers, and in particular the astute way they handled our guest's food allergies.

Meredith, Leslie, and the whole team helped create a perfect custom menu for our day. They were incredibly professional, quick to respond, and treated us so well. During the very stressful time of planning, postponing, and replanning a wedding during the pandemic, Crave was always there to help and support us. Absolutely would recommend them to everyone!

Love Crave!

Crave is seriously the best. I recently had the pleasure of working with them and absolutely loved them.

Everything was perfectly executed and the food was fab. Can't recommend them enough.

Amazing food, service... All with short notice!

We had originally hired another caterer that was a preferred vendor with our venue. Sadly, they went out of business a few months before our wedding. They very kindly introduced us to Crave, and helped transition our menu over.

Leslie at Crave is nothing short of a rock star! She is an absolute pro, and helped us execute our same vision that we had with our previous caterer. Crave was so flexible, accommodating, and had a total can-do attitude. The service was seamless, and the food delicious.

My husband and I are very much into food. It was such a major decision for us, the one we took the longest to decide upon while wedding planning. Crave absolutely delivered, and we had so many compliments from guests as well.

Delicious food!

Having delicious food was one of our top 3 important things for our wedding, and Crave really delivered. They helped bring to life our goal of giving our guests the ultimate interactive dining experience, with passed appetizers, a chef-attended avocado bar, a chef-attended cookie and ice cream bar, and a staffed s'mores bar. The complimentary signature cocktails included with our bartending package was also a really nice touch. We really enjoyed having Crave as our caterer and highly recommend them!

Great customization for your menu

We used Crave for our wedding catering and could not be happier! They customize your menu to what you want and any restrictions (we needed dairy-free), great communication, and great service. Our guests raved about the food to us, which is what we wanted. They were a tad more expensive than a few others we were looking at but that was worth the experience, service, and product. They were one of the best things from our wedding.

A blessing to have y’all...

Thank you Crave for being so incredible. I could not stop getting messages about how great the food was. Matt and I chose to eat privately and Meredith had a whole spread set up for us to enjoy in private. The food was phenomenal and the service was also unmatched. Meredith made sure matt and I were taken care of as well as my parents, everytime I emptied a drink she had another one coming! She was all over the place making sure things were perfect, and they were. The bartenders were literally so awesome too! Can’t thank them enough for our specialty drink and serving our crazy wedding party! I highly recommend!

Crave Catering

When my husband and I did our tasting we fell in love with the employees at Crave. Every bite was somehow even more tasty than the last- in the catering business that is hard to find. We loved everything Crave was able to do for us at our wedding!!! We STILL have friends and family absolutely RAVING about the wonderful food Crave prepared for our wedding- that doesn't happen! When it comes to 200+ wedding count you don't expect everyone to love the food selection. We had 0 complaints and TONS of positive feedback from people about how tasty the food was- even friends asking for recipes!! Crave was 3 steps ahead of me, preparing food for the kids (which I hadn't even thought about) and welcoming every one of my guests! I heard all night long just how friendly and professional the employees were. We were touched by Crave's kindness and professionalism at our wedding- I had no doubt in my mind we would love it! We had selected roasted brussel sprouts as part of our meal because we love them, we have had people come forward admitting they didn't like brussel sprouts before but now they love them! All thanks to Crave. We even got a to-go bag packed for us to enjoy- talk about starting your honeymoon off right!! We loved everything Crave did for us!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
