Phenomenal caterer. You don't just get superb food, which you absolutely do, you also get sterling service and attention to detail. Culinary Crafts is the best caterer in the state. I love working with these guys.

Culinary Crafts catered our 100 person wedding for us at the River Bottoms Ranch. We appreciated the attention to details, willingness to tailor the menu to our needs, met guests dietary concerns, and flexibility to handle the wedding as it expanded from 50 to 100 people. The passed appetizers to the sit down dinner were all great including excellent service for our black tie affair. I'd rate it 10 out of 10!

I have been working with the Culinary Crafts team for a few years, specifically Amber. She is amazing to work with, always works with my budget, is creative with our options, extremely responsive and truly a pleasure to work with. The food and quality is great no matter what budget you have. I highly recommend using Culinary Crafts for your next catered event, or private dinner.

There are so many reasons to love Culinary Crafts, but I'll name my top 2! As a former wedding and event professional Culinary Crafts was my "go-to" caterer for my clients. As a current venue owner I am always delighted to see CC on the calendar for events here at the 4U Ranch for the same reasons I loved them as a planner: professional, lovely to work with, excellent food and service, and the assurance that every single event they do is perfectly executed from start to finish! I could not recommend this great company more.

I am very particular about the catering company that our choose for our top leader retreat. Culinary Crafts has seriously been the first catering company that I have worked with that delivered 150% of my expectations (and I'm tough). From the planning, menu and service everything was done with such effort and provided such a great experience for our guests.

I always say that I want the food to taste better than the description. the food far surpassed the description - again, first time ever! Food and staff were the best ever! Additionally, I received quotes for two other catering companies - Culinary Crafts happened to less than the other quotes. Another bonus! I can't say enough great things about this incredible company.

Our favorite dinner out, EVER! The chef did not spare any detail; the courses were equally beautiful and delicious. Colorful and creative yet still comfortably traditional. The ambiance was perfect and so memorable. We can't wait to dine with Culinary Crafts again soon!

My husband and I celebrated our 17 year anniversary by doing a mini wedding/renewing our wedding vows and Culinary Crafts made it magical! They did a phenomenal job catering my event! All of the appetizers were to die for, everyone raved about them! The main courses were phenomenal as well! And our Belgian waffle wedding cake was not only delicious but absolutely stunning and a favorite of most everyone!

Their presentation and service is unbeatable and Madison helped me plan the entire process, step-by-step, to make sure the whole event was perfect! They even referred me to their in-house florist, who did an absolutely gorgeous job for a really great price! Thank you for making my event so magical!

Culinary Crafts came highly recommended to me by my wedding planner and working with them was a wonderful experience. Rachel was very responsive, professional, and offered great ideas and insight when creating individual snack boxes for our wedding guests. She helped us customize charcuterie boxes that came with a delectable variety of meats, cheeses, dried fruits, olives, bread, and nuts. Our wedding guests love them! Would recommend to anyone in need of their services!

My guests were amazed at the service, professionalism and delicious food from Culinary Crafts. Not only did they cater the event at our home, they went above and beyond to help set the tables, clear the plates, and offering additional portions to the guests. They set up a pizza oven in the yard and made the tastiest custom pizzas. The homemade gelato was amazing too. I will use Culinary Crafts for all my catered events.

The company that I work for used Culinary Crafts for a large convening last week. All of our stakeholders enjoyed the food. The only challenge that we ran into was that local food was not on the menu as we were promised. However, the team was still very thoughtful and professional and the food was definitely a hit with everyone!

This is one of the most amazing groups that I have ever seen for catering purposes! They bring an entire show to the meal. They provide entertainment and excitement. The workers are genuine and sincere. They are interactive with the crowds. And don't even get me started on the food! Ah! To die for! It is absolutely delicious. They are beyond talented and they have mastered the art of delicious food!

Everything at our wedding was excellent and we could not have asked for a better event. Every detail was perfect thanks to Jocelyn and her team. Thank you!

Every detail of my wedding was perfect thanks to Jocelyn at Culinary Crafts. She was more than the catering manager. and all the food items on the menu she created for my wedding were incredible! The staff at the wedding was so professional and hard working. I cannot thank them enough for making my day absolutely perfect. The food was so so so delicious, beautifully presented and featured local ingredients. If you are getting married and you care about delicious food, don't hire anyone else. Culinary crafts is the best in the business. Jocelyn is a perfect 10!

I have had food catered by Culinary Crafts a ton of times in addition to having a corporate event catered by them back in November. We hosted a charity event and they did an excellent job at everything. I will explain my thoughts from a diners perspective and also from a corporate perspective. 1. Their food is delicious. You most certainly aren't going to get bland food from them.

They are know for being innovative, focusing on local ingredients, and providing top notch service. With that in mind you also need to understand that with great service and food you are going to be paying more than low end caterers. 2. They make eating an experience. They are not simply about throwing a white table cloth on a folding table and serving.

They make everything gorgeous. That's part of the appeal of culinary. Overall if you are looking for a great local company that incorporates other local companies into what they do, give culinary a go. They will treat you right and you will impress whoever you are throwing your party for.

We considered hiring Culinary Crafts for our wedding. Ellie quickly reached out to us; Amber answered our questions and followed up throughout the process. We ended up selecting another caterer as CC was above our price point, but we had a good experience with them during the proposal process!

I just can't say enough good things about Culinary Crafts! They catered our wedding at Louland Falls August the 6th and it was flawless! We are vegan and they pulled off the most beautiful and creative food. Our guests (most of which are not vegan!) were so impressed, we had people talking about the food all night! If you have a special diet or just want to have the best food, service, and care taken at your event you should look no where else because Culinary Crafts knows what they are doing. Rachel Collet was an absolute dream to work with too! Helped me when I had a breakdown over some last minute decoration issue and when I had a scare the weather may take a turn for the worse.

She is amazing and helped a bride in panic mode realize it was going to be ok! Hands down the best caterer in Utah. I would never go anywhere else and will always highly recommend them. Thank you Culinary for making my wedding perfect!

Recently used CC for a wedding. Food was delicious. Their attention to detail is fabulous. Their service was amazing. From planning to execution they were easy to work with and are a first class, well run caterer. We would highly recommend.

I have attended a number of events at Culinary Crafts. The attention to detail that their staff has is amazing. They use locally sourced products that are of the highest quality. They spare no expense! The food is beautifully displayed and tastes phenomenal. If you ever have a chance to attend a cooking class here, do it! They will show you all the techniques, give you their recipes and feed you like a king!

Culinary Crafts is spectacular. They are the best in the business here in Utah. I read the other reviews (the ones that gave her a one star) and it is obvious they were more worried about budget than the quality of the food that Mary and her staff provide. Yes, it does cost a little more but you are getting the "best of the best" when it comes to food, selection, presentation and execution.

I was an event planner for years for a large technology company in the Valley. Mary Crafts was ALWAYS my first call. She also did my wedding that fed over 500 people. Not one person complained about the food and, in fact, the guests raved about it. If you are planning a high-end wedding or event and want to impress the socks off your guests, use Culinary Crafts.

Would highly recommend these cats, we had so much fun at the Pop-up restaurant we attended and if their special events are this good, can't wait to hire them for catering!

I attended one of their Pop-up restaurants with my grandma and it was amazing to say the least. We arrived at the venue and was met by some waiters with drinks. We walked around the art exhibit while getting to eat some delicious hor d'oeuvres. It was very relaxing and nice! Then we went to the dining area and we sat at a table with 6 other people.

It was nice to chat with them while we ate our food! The deliciousness kept coming with every course they served. It was a fantastic evening and I can't wait until I attend another one!

Culinary Crafts catered our 1 1/2 day Executive/Board Member Offsite. We had them serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. The food, staff, and presentation was exceptional. I have used a couple of other caterers for our board meetings, and I now know that there is a huge variation in caterers--presentation and professionalism makes the food even better. I did not feel I needed to micromanage them. Our executive team and board members raved about the food--every meal they served. We will definitely use them in the future.

They really hit a home run for us at a recent event. Went above and beyond to help make the event as flawless as possible.

We did our wedding at The Towers at Rice Eccles stadium, this venue is contracted with Culinary Crafts. Jinous and Mary were very nice, however from the beginning they never asked our price point and after a huge discrepancy they still didn't respect our budget. They told us that there food was amazing but honestly it didn't even compare to olive garden.

My husband is Chinese and they told us that there Chinese wok was decadent. It was anything but, it was supposed to be like stir fry but it was sweet and tasted like peanut sauce and sesame oil. I, the bride couldn't eat it because i thought it was disgusting. The chicken penne alfredo was pretty tasty and the focaccia breadsticks were as well but still not as good as olive garden or fazolis.

They broke our cake stand and they served our cake from the top tier down so I now have no top to save but I do have a ginormous bottom tier that they did not serve out. I did tell them to go ahead and serve every tier because each of the tiers were a different flavor, but I just don't understand why they would begin from the top and go to the bottom, and not cut or serve the largest tier which was the best tasting one, hence the largest tier. I am very disappointed in the food and the service. We were also promised that Jinous and Mary would be present for the event but neither of them were there.

Culinary Crafts is worth every penny. From the tasting dinner, all the way to the actual wedding night, Culinary Crafts was helpful and professional. The food is absolutely amazing - this is the type of food that your wedding guests will keep mentioning for years to come - we were "that wedding with the incredible food". The staff were professional on the big night, and there isn't a thing we would've changed. Thanks Culinary Crafts!

DO NOT HAVE THEM CATER YOUR WEDDING. At first we thought that about $2,600 for a wedding venue was very cheap. They require a $300 deposit to reserve a date, which we paid. What we didn't know, and wasn't presented to us was that we HAVE to use their caterer, Culinary Crafts. We told them we just wanted pasta and chicken as the main course, ice cream, and wine.

For this simple meal they calculated that for our wedding they were going to charge us $28,000! For freaking pasta and chicken. This is the most over priced caterer that we have ever worked with. A box of pasta at the store is about $1.00 which can feed 2 people. We have 300 guests, so that would be about $150 dollars. Tell me how can they get away with charging this ridiculous amount. They are running a monopoly. The planner (Jinous) was over 2 weeks late on the estimate. Avoid this caterer at all costs, there are better options as well as cheaper ones.

We used Culinary Crafts for our July 4th wedding and after our experience, I would definitely use them again. The food was AMAZING! Several people commented that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding, and my husband and I were both very pleased with the menu and quality. Ryan was our event manager and he was great in making sure my new husband and I got in on some of the hors d'oeuvres, and got all of the leftover food and desserts boxed up after dinner was over.

He took very good care of us and all of our guests. It was great knowing that Culinary Crafts' staff was there to do all of the setup and breakdown for the event and they even provided the bartenders for our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. The experience we had with Culinary Crafts was wonderful, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding caterer (or for any catering needs, really). Thank you!

I am an event planner in Park City and had a wedding last week in which Culinary Crafts did the catering. My clients were two chefs who met in London and worked for Gordon Ramsey. Needless to say the food was a high priority on their list. Mary and her staff were so accommodating to their requests even cooking their personal recipes. The rehearsal dinner as well as the wedding was beyond my clients expectations.

Previous to starting my company I was the Director of Catering for The St. Regis Deer Valley and a foodie at heart. I was blown away at the tasting of how creative and delicious every single item was. Whenever I need a caterer Culinary Crafts will be my first phone call. Terri Gentry Planit-pc
