    Not your average wedding food...

    Our experience with Creative Hands Cuisine for our wedding catering was simply exceptional. From the outset, their team impressed us with their professionalism, knowledge, and warmth.

    The tasting session was a highlight for us. It was not only delicious but also intimate and enjoyable. The chefs took the time to explain each dish, and their passion for their craft was evident.

    On the wedding day itself, Creative Hands Cuisine truly delivered. The passed hors d'oeuvres were a hit, with standout items like the prickly pear flautas, which were not only delicious but also presented in a creative and memorable way. The tomato and langoustine ceviche received rave reviews from our guests for its refreshing flavor. The roasted hatch green chili profiteroles and cocktail franks with chipotle ketchup were equally delightful.

    The chips and dip station was a crowd pleaser, with fresh homemade chips paired with flavorful salsas that added a perfect touch of spice and freshness to the evening.

    Moving on to dinner, every dish was executed flawlessly. The plated southwestern salad with chipotle lime dressing was not only delicious but also beautifully colorful. The focaccia bread with Grand Marnier Compound Butter and Orange Zest was a standout, leaving a lasting impression with its incredible flavor.

    The chipotle-rubbed filet mignon and pan-roasted citrus chicken breast were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The presentation of both dishes from the nouveau grills added an extra element of excitement to the meal. The southwest provencal vegetables were seasoned and cooked to perfection, complementing the main courses perfectly.

    And let's not forget the signature mashed potatoes, which were mentioned by all our guests for their deliciousness.

    Finally, the churro station provided the perfect sweet ending to the night. The churros were cooked to perfection, with a crunchy exterior and soft interior, paired with an array of creative dipping sauces and toppings.

    Overall, Creative Hands Cuisine exceeded our expectations in every way. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and, most importantly, the incredible taste of their food made our wedding day truly unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for catering that goes above and beyond.

    Creative Hands Cuisine's reply:

    WOW, WOW, WOW!! Your kind words are so touching and we can't thank you enough!! We just shared some of your photos from the big day and can't wait to see them all. We wish you all the best with your new adventure and can't wait to see your new life flourish!!

    Incredible catering service & delicious food!

    We just had our wedding on March 9th and Creative Hands Cuisine catered our special day! We had an incredible experience with Creative Hands from the very start. Sarah worked with us and provided thoughtful and exceptional service and coordination. Since our wedding, we have been reminiscing with our family and friends who gave incredible reviews and feedback on the food and drinks! Huge compliments from our large number of family and friends who have been to many weddings, noting that the food, drinks, and service at our wedding was outstanding and so delicious! We highly recommend Creative Hands Cuisine for any of your events/catering needs!

    Our Stellar Experience

    We hired them to cater our 25th vow renewal for about 75 people in our backyard. The food & service was outstanding. We had many compliments on the fresh, delicious, healthy food. We would definitely book again.

    Amazing experience!

    From the initial tasting to our actual wedding day, creative hands was so incredible to work with. Sarah responded immediately to ALL of our inquiries and changes we made throughout the entire process and was SO helpful!! Not only was the service impeccable but the food was AMAZING. All of our guests kept complimenting the drinks and food all night which was so important to us. Thank you to Sarah and the full creative hands team for helping make our day perfect. If you’re on the fence, you will not regret booking them as your caterer.

    Best AZ Wedding Caterer!

    We couldn't be happier with CHC for our destination wedding. Sarah was always SUPER communicative with timely responses. The staff was very friendly/professional and the food was PERFECTION! Our appetizers were such a hit and fit perfectly with the southwest vibe. We received so many positive comments on the west coast creamy potatoes; guests could not stop raving about it! Look no further for the absolute best wedding caterer in Arizona! :)

    So often you attend weddings and the food is mediocre. BUT that’s definitely not the case when booking creative hands cuisine. They have phenomenal food and also service! I would definitely recommend this caterer to other brides/grooms!

    The best service and yummiest food!

    Sarah and CHC helped make our wedding food dreams come true. Being two self-proclaimed foodies, my husband and I were very picky when it came to our food options for our wedding. From the very beginning, Sarah was responsive and easy to work with. The way they executed the tasting made us feel like VIPs and the food and bar service on our wedding day was incredible!! My husband and I both have a gluten allergy and they had no problem making a menu that would accommodate our dietary needs along with our guests. Almost our entire menu was able to be prepared gluten free and was still bursting with deliciousness. I could not have asked for anything more and I would recommend CHC to EVERYONE.

    Creative Hands Cuisine's reply:

    THANK YOU so much!! We loved being a part of your special day - thank you for including us and we wish you all the best!

    Amazing food and amazing service!

    I would recommend them to anyone who is getting married and looking for a caterer that makes quality food and has excellent service. My husband and I received so many compliments on how delicious and fresh the food was. The two items that we would recommend are the short rib tacos and the mini sliders as a late night snack. I also loved that they made sure my husband and I had food to eat. They saved us a plate with all of the appetizers and then brought our food to us from the buffet. Everything was absolutely perfect!

    Creative Hands Cuisine's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words! We are so very glad that you and your guests loved our cuisine! We wish you the best with your new journey!

    Incredible attention to detail

    If you are looking for a wedding or event caterer that goes above and beyond to ensure your event goes off without a hitch, I cannot recommend Creative Hands Cuisine enough!

    Chef Doug is a perfectionist in all the best ways, and Sarah, our coordinator was so timely and responsive to ensure our bug day went smoothly.

    We did tastings with 2 other caterers before we landed on Creative Hands, and we are SO happy with our decision. This team knows how to put on an event with the utmost care and attention to detail.

    Phenomenal food and staff...like no one else!

    My husband and I got married in Sedona on February 4, 2023. We started planning with Sarah N. from Creative Hands about 9 months out. She created multiple menus for us, keeping our preferences and budget in mind. Creative Hands has so many unique apps, salads, mains and desserts...it was impossible to choose (in a good way!), but we knew we couldn't go wrong! The tasting that we had with Sarah, Chef Doug and our planner was a blast. Every single bite was not only visually beautiful but tasted incredible. They sent us home with our leftovers which I think we demolished on the way home! We looked no further and were honored to have Creative Hands cater our wedding. The staff were all so friendly, professional and memorable. We are still drooling over the food, as are our guests! Our day would not have been the same with any other catering company. We would recommend Chef Doug and Sarah to anyone!

    Creative Hands Cuisine's reply:

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!! It was such a pleasure to work with you to create your perfect day and we are so glad you and your guests love every bit of it!

    Creative and Amazing

    When it came to our wedding It was very important to me that our meal together was perfect. The food was absolutely incredible. The staff was very inventive to meeting our needs and expectations. All of our first feedback about the food was the same. It's the memory we were hoping to create. I look forward to having them for in the future for some small private events.

    Creative Hands Cuisine's reply:

    WOW thank you so much!!! It was such a pleasure to create your wedding with you and your wedding team. Thank you for entrusting us!

    Amazing food and setup

    We had a wedding for 200 people in the middle of a residential street and Creative hands was able to set up an entire mobile kitchen and cook/serve a 3 course meal with appetizers plus bar service. Our guests had an incredible experience, the food and service were phenomenal. Sarah helped us coordinate everything and had great culinary advice. I don't think many vendors could have pulled off what they did so successfully!

    Thank you SO much for these kind words, Danny! Wishing you and Julia all the best with your new adventure!

    Just book them!

    I learned of Creative Hands Cuisine because they were a preferred vendor of my wedding venue. I started communication with them early 2021 for my April 2022 wedding. Sarah was quick to reply with a initial quote and maintained that level of swift communication and communication that was amazing.

    As a destination bride, the thought of planning for a wedding from a different state can be daunting. The only thing that I wished for was to be able to do an affordable tasting of the food that we were going to be served, especially with the level of investment for our catering bill. The fee was extremely high, so we opted to not do one. Having experienced the food for the first time at our wedding, I can confidently say that their food was hands down the best food I’ve ever tasted at an wedding (not being biased because it was our wedding). Our guests raved about the food for weeks after the wedding.

    We booked our bartender through them and the cocktails were absolutely delicious! I appreciated the guidance we received on the his and her cocktails.

    We had a number of changes to our catering selections and Sarah stayed on top of it all and was very organized.

    If you are going back and forth on whether or not to book Creative Hands, stop looking - they are the real deal!

    Thank you Sarah for everything, your staff that was on site were incredible!

    Thank you SO much for the kind words!! We loved creating your special day with you and your wonderful vendor team!

    Saved by Sarah!

    I was down a caterer a mere month out before my wedding and I was lucky enough to find Creative Hands Cuisine, which miraculously had availability. There were a million menu options to choose from and Sarah was super helpful with brainstorming dishes that would meet different dietary requirements and still be tasty. We got tons of compliments on how delicious the food was! However, the best thing of all (in my totally biased opinion) was how much Sarah and the staff took care of us on our wedding day. We opted to add coordinator services to our package and it was the best idea ever. I didn't hear jack s*** about the whole wedding gsetup or anything remotely resembling a problem the week leading up to and throughout the wedding-- Sarah just took care of it. Totally ran the ceremony, SAVED US APPETIZERS THAT WE TOTALLY DIDN'T GET TO EAT DURING COCKTAIL HOUR

    Great Food and Service

    The service was great, professionalism was on point with servers, the presentation of the food was appealing and best of all the food was phenomenal. If I could rate the food 1 through 10 I would give it a 9 1/2, and I'm a pretty picky eater. All of my guest 190 of them really enjoyed the food. Said it was tasteful, flavorable and fulfilling. If your planning a wedding or event, I would highly suggest Creative Hands Crusine Team, you and your guest will not be disappointed.

    You and Your Guests will LOVE!

    We worked a lot with Sarah the Executive Event Producer. She was extremely organized, easy to work with, knowledgable, and very kind! We had several questions and correspondents with her and each one she went above and beyond to make us feel like we have all of the answers we needed! When we went in for our tasting everything was presented in a very professional manner! The food was delicious and they made amazing suggestions based on our guest needs/accommodations, and our options. On our wedding night we had many guests the raved about the Peppercorn Encrusted Filet Mignon and West Coast Creamy Potatoes! Everything was incredibly flavorful and the staff was very attentive!

    My now husband and I are HUGE fans of ice cream and one request we had was to do an ice cream sundae bar at our wedding. We knew we wanted to work with them and they have never done one before, but made it work specifically for us which was awesome!

    We would highly recommend Creative Hands to any couple in the Phoenix/Sedona area!

    Great Experience

    I managed an Event Planning company and Creative Hands was one of our supplier partners. When planning my wedding, I did not hesitate to use them for our special day. They were very responsive when answering questions, flexible with last minute dietary restrictions and local guidelines in relation to Covid, and were very competitive with pricing. Their on-site staff we very friendly, responsive and proactive. I would not hesitate to use them on any future events and would highly recommend them for weddings.

    Creative Hands Cuisine's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words, Robyn! It was SO fun putting together your wedding! Such a fun group to celebrate with.

    Creative Hands Catering for the win!

    Sarah and her team are absolutely amazing! We got married on cinco de mayo with our family and friends in Sedona and we couldn’t have made a better choice by choosing Creative Hands! She made sure the kids meals were out during cocktail hour on short notice, put our centerpieces out for us and had everyone raving about the food! the waitstaff was so friendly and attentive, and the bartender was incredible as well. I can’t say enough good things about Sarah. She was responsive and detail-oriented. Sarah made sure everything was perfect for us! if I could give Sarah and her team 100 stars, I would! THANK YOU, SARAH!

    Took all the stress out of catering!

    I cannot say enough good things about Creative Hands Catering! I found them when I was overly stressed and feeling like I couldn’t afford the dining experience that my fiancé and I really wanted. Then I met Sarah! We had our tasting and I was immediately put at ease. The food was SO good and the whole team was able to accommodate for our budget and the station style of dining that we wanted. Sarah was super responsive to my emails and made all the changes we requested to ensure our contract was exactly what we wanted.

    Day of our wedding was flawless. They even brought decor that perfectly complimented our design aesthetic. We had passed appetizers, custom dinner stations and late night snack stations, ALL of the food was such a hit. People are still texting us and telling us how good the food was. I would 100% recommend the chicken and waffles appetizer and the fish and chips late night snack. They were crowd pleasers for sure.

    The service, food, and overall professional left my husband and I so happy on our wedding day and really grateful that we chose the perfect catering company for our special day.

    If you want unique food, amazing staff, and an affordable but delish meal, book your tasting ASAP!
