We used CBD to cater our August 2025 wedding and we were blown away. From the moment we worked with them, we were impressed with their professionalism and timely responses. On our wedding day, our coordinator, Caleigh, ensured everything ran smoothly and was incredibly present and kind. To honor my husband’s Middle Eastern culture, we asked for a Mediterranean-inspired menu and they delivered. Everything was delicious and beautifully captured his heritage. Four months later, we are still getting compliments from our guests about our food. In short, they were incredible! They are also transparent about pricing as well and I’d highly recommend them for your special day!
As a wedding coordinator, I am always happy to recommend CBD to my couples! They always go above and beyond for their couples and I have had nothing but great experiences working with anyone from their teams.
Most recently, they catered two of my weddings in late August & early September. At the first one, there was heavy rain and wind at a tented wedding venue. Linens were drenched and set up had to stop for about an hour. Through it all, everyone on their team kept a positive attitude and continued working hard as soon as the rain stopped. Rick Doyle was the event manager that night and I sincerely hope I get to work with him again! He was incredibly hard working, approachable, and so helpful with every request or question I had.
At the other recent wedding, everything went PERFECTLY! I really appreciated that David (the event manager that night) checked in with me when he arrived to ask what needed to be done first. That was beyond helpful since the set up time was short and there was a lot to do! I was so pleasantly surprised with how quickly everything came together. I was worried we would run out of time for set up, but their team worked so efficiently that we even had time to spare. Rachel was the event production manager and I worked with her closely leading up to the wedding. She was great to work with leading up to the event and of course on the day of. I appreciate that she is as detail-oriented as I am. It shows in how flawless the day was!
I am always so relieved when my couples hire CBD for their catering team! I know I can expect a team of hard workers to show up every time.
1,000/10 will recommend you all any day! :)
We hired this catering company for a wedding, and they absolutely exceeded expectations. The food was excellent, the service was seamless, and everything ran so smoothly that our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the experience.
I want to give a special shout-out to Sarai and Tino they went above and beyond with their professionalism, attentiveness, and positive attitude. They truly stood out and made the evening feel effortless.
We were all very impressed and would happily recommend this team for any event.
Catering by Design (CBD) was amazing! Everything about CBD is top-notch! The service, the presentation, the food, preparation. Every single detail was well managed and personalized. I could not recommend CBD enough!
Whenever a client tells me that exceptional food and impeccable service are a top priority, my first recommendation is always Catering By Design. They’re not only masters of their craft, but true innovators in our industry—constantly elevating what catering can and should be.
So, when the Colorado Wedding Industry Professional Association began planning our most recent event, there was no question that they had to be part of our team. From the very start, their attention to detail and flawless organization made the planning process seamless. On the day of the event, their creativity in both service and presentation truly set the tone, making the experience unforgettable.
I cannot recommend them highly enough. With Catering By Design, you’re not just in good hands—you’re in the hands of visionaries who redefine excellence every time.
I’ll hopefully remember to come back and add some professional photos later once my photographer sends them my way (and posted😘) but seriously, CBD knocked it out of the park. We had this amazing, intimate wedding that I specifically wanted a menu that was safe for my dietary issues but memorable for my guests and wow did they deliver. I had the pleasure of working primarily with Rachel who was so lovely, down to earth, and easy to get along with. You said the vision and she pictured it with you. Her and Chelsea developed a seamless plan to ensure all my guests were well fed, happy, and enjoying themselves. Not only that but on wedding day their team was right there making sure my husband and I could enjoy this amazing food too. I had so many friends and family members (a lot of us either being in or veterans of food service) came up to us complimenting the amazing food. I am so so happy with how everything turned out. Thank you again Rachel! You were absolutely amazing! I hope I have an excuse to use y’all again, 10/10!!!!
We had the pleasure of working with this incredible team for our inaugural event in Sturgis, South Dakota, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. Amara and Alycen were such a joy to plan and coordinate with—they made the entire process fun, easy, and stress-free. They brought creative, innovative service ideas that wowed our clients and elevated the whole event.
The rental items we selected were all of exceptional quality and exceeded our design expectations. Every piece fit perfectly into our vision, and the florals were simply stunning. They truly embraced our design concept and went above and beyond with thoughtful, small details that brought everything to life in the most beautiful way.
On event day, they arrived on time, unloaded quickly and efficiently, and even jumped in to assist me and my team—truly going above and beyond. The entire day-of crew—from drivers to chef, service staff, and bartenders—were an absolute pleasure to work with. Their professionalism, energy, and seamless execution made the night unforgettable.
And the food… absolutely phenomenal! As someone with years of catering experience in the events industry, I can confidently say it was some of the best I’ve ever had from a caterer. Our guests raved, and we’re already looking forward to working with them for years to come. So glad we found this gem of a team!
We hired Catering by Design for our private residence wedding last month and I could not say enough great things about their management, staff, food etc. They provided the highest level of service and were kind, efficient, and overall just such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process. Special shoutout to Rachel Inman - a true rockstar at what she does. She guided us through the entire process of how to bring our vision for a black tie backyard wedding to life through passed hors d'oeuvres and drinks, to the specific dishes good for family style, late night food and beyond. She helped make our wedding so special and everyone commented on how impressed they were by her team, the food, the service etc.
We had a wonderful experience with Catering by Design for our July wedding. Amara was extremely helpful and responsive during the evaluation process - she even helped us think about details that really do make a difference in the final dining experience that we hadn't thought of originally. Then Rachel helped bring it to life - she even went above and beyond to coordinate for some severely celiac guests. Our guests loved the unique appetizers and entrees - CBD executed the unique and fresh menu we were hoping for! I'd absolutely recommend.
Catering by Design provided the catering for our wedding at the Botanic Gardens. Caleigh and her team did an excellent job! We received compliments on the food from everyone who attended. They were very attentive to all our needs, both on the day of and during the planning. We would recommend them without hesitation.

My wife and I used Catering by Design for our wedding last week, and we have nothing but positive feedback to provide. From the food to the event staff to the office staff--everything was phenomenal! Our friends and family can't stop talking about how great of a time they had at the wedding, and a big part of that was the quality of food and service provided by Catering by Design. We highly recommend them to others looking to hold a wedding or other events!
Catering by Design offers a top-notch professional experience. We loved the chance to work closely with them and pick from their many interesting and tasty appetizers.
We got married in March of 2025 and had many allergies in our large wedding, including a celiac as a groomsman. They took this consideration very seriously, and were able to assure us that the food would be prepared separately. There were also so many delicious gluten free options that it made it easy to pick several that we liked!
Many of our guests commented on how delicious the food was, and how much they loved our dessert (flambéed donut holes and ice cream!) The staff was efficient, friendly, and sent us home with a cooler of leftovers and personalized iced cookies with our initials and wedding date.
Thanks to Amara, Rachel, and whole CBD team!
CBD provided an exceptional menu and experience for our Legacy Gala. From our initial call, numerous changes, to clean up at the end of the night they thought of everything. They were an excellent resource throughout the planning process right down to the night of. The event was flawless, and we could not have had better partners! I will definitely use them again.

Amara and Caleigh were amazing to work with! They made the entire process less stressful for my husband and I. They responded within less than 24 hours! Sometimes within minutes! The food was amazing and we’ve gotten so many positive feedback from our guests! I love how they provided so many options during our tasting! I was so indecisive but Amara listened to all our needs and made it easier for us to decide after we got to taste the one’s were were torn between. I would definitely hire them again for any catering needs 🩵
