    Amazing Food + Service! 5 Stars!

    CBD did such a fabulous job at our wedding! The food was absolutely delicious! They did such a great job during the planning process to really understand our vision and come up with ideas of how we could make the vision come to life! They definitely made us feel special and not like we were just another couple. Their sales team is top notch when it comes to professionalism, responsiveness and customer service. This same level of service was experienced on our wedding day by all of the staff. We are so happy with our decision to hire them and couldn't imagine our day without them!

    Lucky to work with these talented people!

    We are so glad we were able to work with Catering By Design for our wedding weekend at both the Denver Botanic Gardens and Denver Performing Arts Center! Emily and her team were incredible knowledgeable, organized and accommodating throughout the whole planning process (and weekend) which included SO many moving parts. The tasting they organized was very thoughtful and I know they worked seamlessly with the chef we brought in - this all flowed perfectly into our wedding day which we couldn't have dreamt up. Special shoutout to Emily for her brilliant idea to make a personal cheesecake for my dad at the reception - special touches like this make her team and their work exceptional.

    CBD made wedding planning far less stressful!

    The food was great, our contact was so easy to work with (quick to respond and always willing to provide feedback), and the whole team made our wedding day beautiful without adding any extra stress.

    Super Customizable!

    The food from Catering by Design was delicious! While creating the menu, we felt as though the Catering by Design team took our wants and budget into account! My husband and I are vegan and the Catering by Design team worked with us to ensure that at each station a vegan option was available. My dream was to have late-night french fries served at the wedding and Catering by Design made it happen!!! Also, Catering by Design did the cupcakes for dessert. It was so nice to not need another vendor in the mix.

    On the day of my wedding, the Catering by Design staff was incredibly kind and always there when we needed them. My wedding guests still rave about how delicious and unique the food was (many Mid-west family members did not know what jackfruit was).

    Bottom line, if you want good food and fantastic vendor interactions, hire Catering by Design!

    Excellent Catering Service!

    We chose Catering By Design for our wedding and we are so happy that we did! As stressful as wedding planning is, Catering By Design made the catering and rental process seamless. We worked with Alycen during planning and the day of, who was fantastic. From my initial inquiry, all responses from CBD were prompt, and all my needs and questions were addressed. Our menu tasting was so fun and delicious. All of our guests gave us compliments on how good the food was!

    Delicious food for an upscale ranch wedding!!

    Thank you to all who rocked our special day. The food was SUCH a hit!! Alison and Ching were so so helpful and if we didn't like something they worked around it. no problem. My husband and I are total foodies so we no doubt were particular about how things were prepared, etc but they knocked it out of the park. And with a smile on their face to boot!! Guests have repeatedly mentioned how delicious the food was. One of the highlights for sure!

    Amazing to work with, delicious food!

    We feel so lucky to have gotten to work with Ching at CBD for our wedding catering. She was incredible to work with and made the process so easy and fun. Plus, we don't like cake so Ching helped us come up with donuts and milkshakes as an alternative - they were a huge hit! Definitely recommend!

    Wedding Catering & design

    Catering by design not only did an amazing job working the menu for my wedding but also on making all of my flower dreams come true. They even constructed a custom altar similar to one I found online. The attention to detail was top notch! Would highly recommend!

    Great Experience

    Thanks to Alex and team, our wedding was a great success. Alex was a great partner from beginning to end. Many of our guests commented not just on the quality of the food, but also on the attentiveness of the team. Thank you for being a part of a day we will always remember! Melissa & Jesse

    Great service

    We loved catering by design! The food was amazing the service was wonderful. Our only complain was our bill was significantly more than we were quoted originally. They told us they had sent an updated quote after we made some minor changes, but we never saw it. Just confirm with them a few months before hand to confirm it is within your budget.

    Phenomenal

    Catering by Design was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding. Ching and Alex identified our wedding vision from the earliest times we met. They helped us with everything - not just the food but the details regarding timing of the event, the alcohol, the service - truly phenomenal. They were ALWAYS lovely to work with, responsive no matter how many times we emailed or asked questions, and were so patient and kind and professional. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for any event you are planning - we have received more praise for their group, food and service than anything else! And we totally agree - they deserve every bit of praise!!!

    As the mother of the bride I can tell you that Catering by Design, Raegan Brown, knocked it out of the park when it came to planning & managing our wedding appetizers/cocktail hour through what was hands down the best dinner we've had at a wedding. So so many people came up to us & commented on the quality of the food - we plated chicken and beef together with sides, and each plate was served hot, cooked to perfection, every bite more delicious than the previous! Raegan also noticed when we began to run low on wine, and she immediately went to work & found a vendor that could supplement our order, and worked with the staff at Planet Bluegrass to get the additional wine to the venue never missing a "glass"! No one was hungry or thirsty!!! Thank you Raegan! Catering by Design worked with Heather from Calluna to decorate the tables with the appointments we had provided earlier in the day, creating a most beautiful wedding day/evening. Catering by Design proved to be professional, courteous, exceptional value, every bite they served was delicious.

    Catering by Design surpassed our expectations, and I would highly recommend them. They catered our wedding, and helped us to create a customized, Italian style menu that was absolutely amazing (and Italians are a hard group to impress). There is always a concern that the food will taste different when prepared in large quantities than what you tasted initially, but it was just as good as we remembered. I even had numerous friends and family members tell me that we had the best wedding food they had ever had! We worked with Ching, who was so kind, attentive and professional throughout the planning phases and Ching and her team executed a flawless event for us. We couldn't have been happier.

    Brittany, and the Catering by Design team were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! Throughout the entire process they went above and beyond, and helped to bring our wedding vision to life, ensuring that the planning was always stress-free. The chef worked with us to recreate a dish we love to make as a couple, making our wedding day that much more personalized. The food was amazing, and the staff were friendly and accommodating - Catering by Design really made our day extra special, we would highly recommend these guys to anyone in need of a caterer!

    We had an outstanding experience with catering by design. We selected them for their hospitality and attention to detail from the beginning. Ching and her team were creative, flexible, and such a pleasure to work with. We had a few people in the party with allergies that were well taken care of. We were particularly excited about their idea to use local ingredients. We had our wedding at Chatfield botanic gardens, the chef specifically helped design our menu to include as much produce from the Gardens as they could!! Such a treat. They were flexible when we changed the app and dinner menu, helping us find an ideal budget. Ching was in close communication with us especially they few days before, which set us at ease. Thank you to the entire team for making our day so increadible!!!

    Everyone Loved the food provided by catering by design! Working with Raegan and Pablo was great, they went above to make sure we got everything we wanted and how we wanted. And Raegan also stepped up during our final walk thru to take care of things when our wedding planner was late. I would defiantly use them again if given the chance!

    Everyone raved about all of our food! This is not your average, boring wedding food. We worked with Brittany and she came up with a fun, imaginative menu that fit our tastes and personalities. She was also flexible when we kept changing out mind about what we wanted. The appetizers especially were incredibly clever, including a caprese salad ice cream cone and a tomato bisque shooter with a grilled cheese square. And she came up with a signature cocktail for us, which was a real crowd pleaser. Dinner was delicious, and Brittany was very accommodating of peoples' dietary restrictions. Then they topped it all off with two flavors of mini-milkshakes that were passed during dancing. The entire staff was professional, attentive, and friendly. Everything went perfectly. We are foodies, as were a lot of our guests, so food was important to us. We were definitely not disappointed!

    Danielle and her team at Catering By Design did an amazing job at our Estes Park wedding! Our guests were blown away by the quality and presentation of the food. Many of our guests commented that is was the best food that they’ve had at a wedding. CDB really captured our vision; the chefs even created edible charcuterie centerpieces for us, which were a huge hit with our guests! The staff was professional and easy to work with. They really made the day run flawlessly. I can’t say enough about what a wonderful job CDB did. I would highly recommend them for any event!

    I worked with Jeff and Pablo at Catering by Design. Jeff was flexible in working with us to create a menu that suited our staple dishes, but still made the whole meal very elevated and fun. We chose food stations, and had three unique stations that complimented each other but were diverse enough to accommodate all palates. We received such great compliments about the food. Pablo ran the operation the day of. I knew the food would taste amazing, but I was also so impressed with Pablo and his staff. They went above and beyond catering to myself and my husband. They were extremely polite and even offered to box up all the leftovers at the end of the night for us to take home.

    I had a very difficult time getting responses from caterers. I think everybody was busy during the summer and didn't worry about weddings next year. I was anxious to get a lot of my wedding planning done early, so I decided to contact Catering by Design. I had nothing but great experience with them. All my wishes were taken into consideration. My menu was exactly what I wanted, and their responses were quick.

    My daughter contracted Catering by Design for her wedding reception at Spruce Mountain. All I can say is "truly amazing". We both lived out of state so needed a caterer that would make you feel at comfortable talking with them about anything, organizing meal ideas, table settings, etc. and they went above and beyond. We got to work closely with Stuart - a true professional who loves his job and makes ever detail matter - as he says "it is your day so let's go for it" and he did. The entire staff did an amazing job and the responses from the guest are still coming in saying it was the best food they have ever had at a reception - presentation was amazing, food was hot and the flavors spot on. I would highly recommend you contact Catering by Design for any catering needs.

    All I can say is WOW. From the first day I worked with them, to the wedding day, I felt as if they truly cared about not only my food, but me and my day. I worked with Stuart who was the most responsive, most caring, and most diligent wedding professional that I encountered throughout this entire wedding planning process. I was (and am) extremely impressed with his devotion to making my reception perfect; he's definitely the type of person that any bride would want to work with. He helped coordinate the rentals, provided useful and productive opinions when I asked him (about color, design, food options, etc.), and I felt he really took into account the theme of the wedding when helping me make decisions. He responded to every single email or phone call within hours, made sure we got to try some appetizers on the day of our wedding, and so many other little things that made working with Stuart and CBD so incredible. I don't think that Stuart was the actual "event coordinator" on the night of the reception (even though I worked with him all year), but I know he was there working hard all night making sure that everything we wanted would be taken care of. The food was also fantastic (hot, delicious, they cook on-site, etc.) and we received many compliments on the appetizers and dinner. Overall, I would highly recommend CBD and Stuart.
