Best caterer ever!

Gourmet Cowboy catered my wedding at Donovan Pavilion and I couldn’t recommend that team enough! We wanted “fun” wedding food and Sarah came through with a Bavarian style dinner. Our guests LOVED the food. Sarah was very responsive during the planning process and ensured our day went smoothly. We had a perfect day and Gourmet Cowboy really added to that.

Couldn't Have Been More Perfect

Sarah and her husband make an amazing team! We had our wedding in a remote location that they had prior experience with and we could not have been more thrilled with the results. From the tasting, to a COVID rescheduling (of which they were super fair and offered many options for moving forward), to the day before where Sarah's assistant came up to meet with me at the venue to discuss the next day 30 minutes up a rough dirt road, to pumping out all our requests - drinks, pre ceremony apps, post ceremony apps, dinner, and dessert, Sarah and her team were accommodating, gracious, fair and just the best. They made sure we got to eat and try everything and if we hadn't been so busy with our guests, we would have eaten a lot more! We received rave reviews. Our guests are still talking about the goat cheese stuffed dates wrapped in bacon, skewered ginger shrimp with sweet chili glaze, the summer greens salad, the grilled salmon with lemon beurre blanc, the mushroom risotto, and the custom smore cookies. Many of them asked if the Gourmet Cowboy does this kind of stuff at their Minturn restaurant and some of our guests even went there late night/ the next day to go get wings! That's how great the service and food were. So incredibly happy with the results. Thank you Gourmet Cowboy! - Sierra & Eric

Gourmet Cowboy, Best Wedding Dinner You Could Possibly Imagine

Sarah and her team (including her amazing, talented husband) helped us have the wedding of a lifetime! The pre-wedding tasting was professional and held in their beautiful location of Minturn.

In the weeks leading up to our big day, Gourmet Cowboy was responsive, alert, and supportive of our menu decisions. On the day of, the food could not have been more delicious!

All 150+ of our guests were very complimentary of the delicious 2-course duet dinner Gourmet Cowboy provided. My wife and I would 100% recommend this caterer to friends, family, and strangers!

Thank you Sarah and Gourmet Cowboy caterers!
Best,
H&M
