About

On WeddingWire since 2009

Creative Hands Cuisine is a boutique event caterer based in Mesa, Arizona. Our mission is to take a vision created by our client and create a one of kind culinary concert containing elements of great food and service to produce a theatrical and memorable experience for our guests.

If the old adage of “you are what you eat” is true. It would be best to eat only gourmet, fresh, local and sustainable food whenever possible. Creative Hands Cuisine strives to deliver all of those elements whenever possible. Healthy food makes healthy clients!

Creative Hands Cuisine is a close knit group of people in and out of work. Our team takes tremendous pride in pleasing clients, striving to exceed what’s expected of us. Many of our team memebers have worked with us for over 10 years and continue to elevate their level of skills and performances with us. What all that means for the client is great consistency and fluidity of execution of events.

We boast about our chefs who not only are masters at culinary creations but who are also well manicured, well versed, and interact with and enjoy educating guests. Having a uniformed chef approach your table to ask how your meal was is a common occurrence rather than an isolated one with Creative Hands Cuisine.

Wait staff and Bartenders are all extensively trained for success. Guided by our operations team of experts, all service staff receive training in logistics of different styles of service from plated to stationed to buffets. Etiquette training is another key component to what makes our wait staff superior to others in addressing clients and presenting cuisine and beverages.

So great to work with and amazing food and service!!

Everything Creative Hands Cuisine did from start to finish was just wonderful! It was so easy to work with Sarah to put together a menu and finalize details even from a few states away. The day of the wedding the food and service was absolutely amazing!! All of our guests were so impressed! Would definitely recommended to anyone getting married in Phoenix or the surrounding areas.

The best wedding food!

Creative Hands was incredible to work with! Pre planning, Sarah was very responsive and answered any and all questions I had. She was helpful in all aspects including the tasting, site visit and day of the wedding. We had an outdoor wedding and the day of the wedding there was no rain in the forecast. Much to my surprise right when dinner started, so did the rain. The Creative Hands staff was quick to accommodate and make sure everyone was fed and had a drink in their hand! As for their food, I had many of my guest tell me it was one of the best meals they have ever had. Highly recommend the mashed potatoes, my husband and I are still talking about them. I couldn’t have asked for a better catering staff and food at my wedding, they went above and beyond!
