    Value + quality!

    First of all, our tasting blew us away. Such a lovely team to work with, super responsive to all our questions, and amazing quality. They went above and beyond with table decor and helping us customize passed vs self-serve apps. Guests raved about the food and we could not have been happier!

    Delicious food, great people

    Buffalo Gals catered our rehearsal 'picnic' and they were the perfect fit! Kathy and Michelle are such kind souls, and were wonderful to work with. They grilled out at the park where we hosted our party, and everything was delicious. We had a couple of dietary restrictions in our group, and they made sure to include them with no problem. Their staff members were so accommodating as well, and had everything set up on time. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing great food and service for their next event!

    Great food and super easy to work with!

    Buffalo Gals are absolutely amazing! The food at my wedding was delicious, and we were able to fully customize the menu to have what we wanted. We are still getting compliments about the food! They were super easy to work with and did a great job setting up/taking down at the end of the night. I highly recommend them!

    Delicious and Professional

    We used Buffalo Gals for our son’s rehearsal brunch, and the bride also used them for the wedding the next day. Both meals were absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and the staff was friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

    Great vendor very prompt and timely with responses and the food was amazing, fresh and filling but light on the stomach. Made for a great dinner and plenty of energy to dance the night away after.

    Buffalo Gals is the way to go!

    We used Buffalo Gals catering for our wedding in Denver. We were able to travel down to Colorado Springs for a tasting prior to our wedding. The food was great and the team was super responsive and helpful in the planning process. I would definitely recommend using this amazing team to cater your next event!

    Amazing Food!

    We got married at Spruce Mountain and we had Buffalo Gals cater our reception of about 110 people. The food was delicious, and we got several compliments on it, especially on the tri-tip! The servers were also very professional and kind. I would definitely use Buffalo Gals Catering again!

    We love Buffalo Gals! We knew several people who had Buffalo Gals cater their weddings in the last year or so, and they all gave rave reviews, so we knew we had to have them for our wedding, too. My husband and I don’t live in Colorado anymore, so we didn’t have the opportunity to taste the food before the wedding day, but it was awesome! The food was so delicious, and we were so pleasantly surprised. The staff is great, too. They know exactly how weddings work and they have all the little details figured out so that the dinner runs smoothly. (We also had them make our cupcakes and cake for dessert. They were also SO delicious and they dessert table set up was beautiful… made for great cake cutting photos ☺ )

    Buffalo Gals is absolutely fantastic! We were planning our wedding remotely, since we live on the East Coast, and Lauren and her team made this process so easy and stress-free. They thought of every detail for the day and made our wedding reception so special. We got tons of compliments on the food from our guests. We felt so well taken care of throughout the day. Carol and her team made sure that we didn't miss out on any of the great food, even when we were busy taking photos. Everyone we encountered was very professional and lovely to work with. I seriously cannot recommend them enough!

    Every single one of our guests commented on how delicious our food was at our wedding! Not only was the food amazing, but the service they provided was incredible! The price we paid was a steal for what we actually got! Lauren was wonderful and helped make my wedding day run so smoothly!! I will definitely use the picnic basket again for future catering.

    This company was AMAZING, especially with my husband and I being 6 hours away. They didn't just cater amazing food that all our guests loved, but Dani decorated the entire hall the exact way I imagined. I would definitely recommend them!

    Buffalo Gals was the best! Their food was simple yet delicious, classic and casual for our laid-back afternoon wedding. The tasting was so easy and helpful, and the walkthrough before the wedding totally set me at ease - they really know what they are doing. Moreover, on our wedding day, their staff was beyond professional and constantly helping me and my groom throughout the day. They would bring us food and drinks because they knew we didn't have the time to stop and get it ourselves! I am thrilled that we hired Buffalo Gals and highly, highly recommend them. Thanks, Gals!

    Lauren was amazing to work with during all the planning and the day of the wedding, everything ran so smoothly because of her. The food was absolutely amazing everything we were hoping for. All of our guest commented on the quality of the food, including the amazing appetizers. The day of all the servers and bartender were so helpful and helped everything run perfectly smooth. I would highly recommend Cravings for any event!

    My daughter and I chose Cravings because of the coordinator - Lauren Brenner. She went so far above and beyond what she had to do to ensure that the day was perfect.
    Food - After the tasting, we were able to change some of the dishes in our original order to things we thought guests would prefer. We chose several appetizers and the pasta bar. Everything was fresh and delicious. If you get the artichoke-Parmesan appetizer, be sure to order extra. The guests LOVED it!
    Preparation and setup - The wedding was at Hillside Gardens; Lauren and her staff took care of all the setup/take-down. Lauren even took in our seating chart and other extras to set up for us. She also reached out to a new linen vendor to get my daughter's wedding colors for the table overlays and napkins.
    After the wedding and reception, Lauren helped make sure that everything we needed was loaded in our car. She even returned the baker's cake stand for us.

    Buffalo Gals catered our Rehearsal Dinner and they did a fabulous job! The food was SO delicious!! They did a beautiful job in presenting the food, were incredibly helpful, and took great pride in delivering such great service! We had an ice cream bar after dinner which was lots of fun too! Thank you Buffalo Gals!

    I planned our wedding from out of state and Cravings was so easy to work with. Cassie is seriously the sweetest girl ever and was always willing to do anything to help us. They did a wonderful job on our wedding day- our guests continue to talk about how good the food was and how pleasant and accommodating the servers were. I would highly recommend Cravings to any bride looking for awesome food and a very easy process!

    What a fantastic job Cassie and her crew did for our wedding! They did all the linens, tableware and chairs as well as excellent hors d'oeuvres and a lovely buffet dinner. Her staff was terrific. Cassie was extremely pleasant to work with, accommodating and very professional with great suggestions for the food. We could not have been more pleased with Cravings!

    My catering was done by Picnic Basket. I chose a buffet style fajita bar with 3 meats. Shortly before the wedding I found out I would have about a dozen children attending the wedding and they were able to add chicken tender meals for the children. The servers they sent were excellent and very attentive to the needs of our guests.
