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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

This might be the highlight of the year for us! Your words mean everything to us! We are so glad you had such a wonderful evening and were able to enjoy the day just like you had dreamed!

Fabulous appearance AND tasting food
It’s not easy to find a group of people that care so much about the art of plating and making sure everything tastes amazing. Creative Hands had several items that were stated as “the best we’ve ever had” and my husband and I are pretty well traveled - and we typically travel for food! We had so many compliments on the food from our wedding guests and I would strongly recommend hiring them for your event!

Creative Hands---AKA Miracle Hands
Chef Doug and his team were amazing in delivering the most delicious food to our guests at our wedding. His east coast background helped in understanding our appreciation and desire for Italian cuisine. There was a beautifully displayed charcuterie and cheese board with delicious meats and cheese.
With the obstacles related to the pandemic, Chef Doug was able to cook for us in our private home and it made for a memorable evening. The tastings were delicious.
We are so grateful for the kindness and hospitality Chef Doug provided to our family. He was truly a blessing during a difficult time and delivered exceptional food and service.
Choosing Creative Hands Cuisine was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding!

Creative Hands Cuisine catered our wedding at the Secret Garden Event Center and I can't begin to tell you how impressed we were! Our food was OUTSTANDING and all of our guests agreed that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Creative Hands gave us so many delicious options to choose from and the staff was incredibly professional. One of the most important things to us in planning our wedding was food that our guests would love and Creative Hands did not disappoint! Thank you for helping make our wedding day perfect!

My wedding went absolutely perfectly
We had a destination wedding so no one including us were local to Arizona. Being responsive was one of my main criteria as an out of state bride…creative hands always responded within a reasonable amount of time usually within hours of each inquisition. Another main criteria we had for food was that we needed vegan/vegetarian options and they had a plethora of choices to choose from. They were extremely transparent about pricing and had a million options and combinations we could have chosen from. They essentially can cater to any reasonable budget just because of the sheer amount of options they have. The food itself was DELICIOUS and literally all of our guests couldn’t stop raving about the southwest mashed potatoes and the whole meal in general. We opted to do mini cheesecakes (our first date was at the Cheesecake Factory) instead of cake and it was a huge hit…Creative hands truly helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect and they were a pleasure over all to work with 100/10 honestly would recommend them over and over again.

My fiancé and I had a very specific menu in mind in hopes of incorporating a lot of our favorite foods. Creative Hands was able to customize a menu that still “flows” with one unified concept but tied all of our requests in tastefully (no pun intended). Sarah has been super responsive and very easy to work with - we cannot wait to show off to our guests their incredible creations!

A truly AMAZING experience!
Creative Hands Cuisine were simply awesome from start to finish! Doug and Sarah helped every step of the way in creating a very memorable experience for our wedding! We were originally scheduled to have a 70 person wedding in April, then Covid hit and the plan went down the tubes. But when things opened up, we were able to have a small wedding of 12 in Sedona, and Chef Doug and his team came up and just knocked it out of the park with both their amazing food, and awesome service!! From the presentation, (each plate was beautiful) the timing of each course - perfect, and of course the deliciousness of everything was a 10+!! They were a big part of what ended up being a perfect wedding day! We cannot thank them enough, and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone, for any event they are planning! Thank you again to the whole Creative Hands Team, and especially Chef Doug!!!

Creative, Beautiful, Delicious, Food!
First off I must say that I am a self-proclaimed "foodie" Initially, I was very concerned about the food for my wedding with any venue. Being Italian and originally from New York food is a staple of our family times and is essential. For me, fine dining is a passion! When we schedule our tasting I was settled on settling! And, oh, boy, was I pleasantly surprised! Not only was the presentation impeccable and beautiful but the food tasted amazing too! There were so many delightful choices that we had a hard time deciding. We chose the plank salmon and the beef wellington. The salmon had a delicious housemade marinade that should be packaged and sold! I will dream of that flavor! Since our wedding has happened many of our guests have told us how wonderful the food was. In celebrating our love for each other and our families I am so filled with gratitude that the food was as in all Italian Families the foundation for new memories. MOLTO BENE!
