But food is just the beginning. For us, hospitality means intentional service from the first conversation to the last bite. Every interaction is a chance to exceed expectations, ensuring your wedding day is as seamless, joyful, and memorable as the celebration itself.

100% Recommend!

Working with Riana and her team at Saltblock as a wedding planner was an absolute dream!! Their communication was extremely prompt throughout the entire planning process which allowed our bride to remain stress free! On the day of their team made sure everything ran smoothly and they were extremely organized from the moment they arrived to set up. Everything was prepared and displayed exactly on time. The catering staff and the bartending staff were so kind and always had a smile on their face. The attention to detail from this team was amazing, they had to-go food ready for the bride and groom before I got the chance to ask them for it & if at any point our team went to the bar to grab the bride and groom a drink they were very quick and attentive! Not to mention the food was delicious!! If you are looking for a catering company to host your wedding or event, please give Saltblock a call! I cannot recommend them enough :)

It's not just good wedding food...

One of the things we heard most often during and after our wedding was how amazing the food was - “I’ve had good wedding food before, but this is just great food period!” The SaltBlock team was highly responsive in their communication and very accommodating for less-traditional style of a wedding reception. The only negative thing was that my wife and I didn’t get the chance to enjoy the great food as we were too busy mingling with guests! If you hire SaltBlock, do yourself a favor and don’t skip dinner or dessert.

May 4th, 2019 Wedding

Saltblock was awesome! They catered my wedding at CAVU and not only was the food awesome, but the staff was great! They paid attention to detail and were very attentive to our guest's needs. My favorite was the hors d'oeuvres, they were a guest favorite.

Most unique catering experience

I was dead set against having a caterer at our wedding, but as soon as I saw the SaltBlock menu, I knew we had found the perfect match. They worked with us to create a menu that was perfect for both sides of our family and friends, and we got compliments all night long on how amazing the food was (especially the charcuterie board and nitrogen ice cream)!

Delicious Food!

I first heard of Saltblock because they were on my venues preferred list and my wedding coordinator had them cater her wedding! Everything was so delicious! We had a lot of kids at our wedding and they were so flexible and made special meals just for them and another plated special meal for my grandfather who is a vegan. They were wonderful to work with!

My husband and I couldn't be happier with having Saltblock as our wedding caterers!! They helped us craft a unique brunch menu that will have my guest talking for months. Not only was the food top notch, the service on the day of the wedding was incredible. They were flexible and extremely accommodating. I don't think our wedding would have been as amazing as it was without their help. I would highly recommend choosing them as your wedding cater!

My husband and I couldn't be happier with having Saltblock as our wedding caterers!! From the first tasting that we did I knew they were hands down the best choice for our wedding. Ryan, Scott, and their whole team at Saltblock were so great to work with! They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted for our wedding from the exceptional food, chimichurri station, coffee bar, and late night snacks being passed around. My husband and I have already had multiple guests rave about how great the food was, it definitely did not disappoint! I would highly recommend choosing them as your wedding cater!

Amazing people to deal with and even more amazing food! This is not your typical wedding catered food. This is out of the box, sky is the limit food! Ryan and his team are professionals and it shows in every aspect of his service. People are still raving about our food and that feels fabulous. There is nothing worse than having your guests go away hungry. This will never happen with Saltblock on your side.

The Best Wedding Food

SaltBlock truly is the gold standard in event catering. From taste to presentation everything is top notch. Gemma was fantastic to work with and very accommodating. She helped us cultivate our menu and come up with creative ways to stay in budget. We especially loved the unique dishes and variety of options available. Our guests are still raving about the chicken and waffles appetizer. Of course, quality comes at a price and we found them to be much more expensive than other caterers in the area. But at the end of the day, we were so glad we had the superb food and beverage experience that SaltBlock provided.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
