We are so lucky we chose Crave Catering for our September 2025 wedding! Choosing a caterer was one of the most important parts of our planning process, and Crave made it effortless, exciting, and delicious! We had several dietary restrictions and allergies to consider for ourselves and our guests, and Crave went above and beyond to create thoughtful alternatives that everyone could enjoy (and made it super easy for us in the planning process). The food was absolutely fantastic, flavorful, fresh, balanced, and beautifully presented. When it came time to plan our menu, Crave gave us so many wonderful options that the process felt fun and creative rather than stressful (unlike other catering companies we met before Crave). The meal exceeded all expectations and our guests can't stop talking about how incredible everything tasted. Everyone was able to enjoy the food and left dinner without feeling weighed down, giving no one any excuse but to dance the night away! And the best part is we were sent home with leftovers so we could savor the meal for a few more days. What a treat. We can't recommend Crave Catering highly enough for any wedding or event. I promise, you won't regret it!
Crave catering was an absolute delight to work with throughout our wedding process. They made it easy and guided us through every little detailed (which they'd already considered) with ease. Plus, our guests raved about the food! It was truly delicious and I recommend you use Crave for your next big event.
Their catering service 😘
A few days after the big day and I am still feeling incredibly fortunate to have hired Crave to cater our wedding. Kerry and team were easy to work with and made a menu that our friends and family are still raving about! Everyone LOVED the vegan risotto cakes, even our meat-loving family!
Aside from their delicious food, I hired Crave because sourcing food locally is important to me. I appreciate Crave's dedication to growing its' ingredients and cannot wait to visit their farm soon!
I hired Crave to cater an event at Raptor Ridge winery, part of a wedding week of festivities. The food, service & overall experience were phenomenal, I can't recommend them highly enough!! Wow, everything was done to perfection - from Kerry Davis' communication with me, her follow up, her on site team providing excellent service day of the event, and the food. This brief story illustrates it all - my sister has numerous food allergies and other things she has to avoid. I communicated that to Kerry, and the food was prepared such that my sister, at the end of the night, simply said, "this was the only meal I had that I didn't have to ask any questions"! Crave Catering is great, I'd love to find a reason to use them again!
I highly recommend Crave Catering! Their communication ahead of time was great, staff was on time and professional, and the food was delicious! They went above and beyond to help during the day with smaller tasks too. Appreciate their work!
Crave was excellent! The communication in advance was phenomenal. I'm a wedding planner and can't express how grateful I am. Dylan was always quick to respond and thorough. Food was yummy and the family style service was great. No matter how well planned, events can be unpredictable but the Crave team stepped up and rose to the occasion. Honestly, you want vendors that will know how and will deal with challenges behind the scenes. The couple had no idea, which I LOVE! Thanks for your hand work, Crave team & Dylan! I adore you!
I sincerely loved Crave Catering. They truly made my wedding spectacular. The staff was warm and welcoming to everyone and paid extra attention to my husband and I all night. The food was INSANELY delicious and the drinks were fantastic. 10/10 highly recommend.

I worked here for a few summers, and I loved it! It was a positive atmosphere to work in. They really put care and love into their ingredients as well and I cannot recommend it enough for your events!

We absolutely loved having Crave cater our wedding. Their food is truly farm to table fresh and delicious, nothing felt pre-made or frozen. They were super accommodating and flexible to our requests, including incorporating some traditional aspects into our wedding and accommodating dietary restrictions. They also worked with us to arrange all of our rentals, which was ridiculously helpful. We would highly recommend.
Crave is absolutely amazing! The food was great during our tasting so we were excited for the day of but you never know how it will be feeding 100 people vs 2. Well with Crave, it was just as yummy! Everyone commented on how great the food was which hasn't been my experience at other weddings I've attended. The oyster bar was divine and a big hit. The cocktail options were so fun and the hot coca bar + cookies instead of a cake were perfect. Plus Kerry was wonderful and on top of everything the whole process. The whole team was great! I can't recommend Crave enough.

While we ended up using a different catering company for our event due to budget, I wanted to write this review to talk about how incredible the Crave Catering team was throughout the decision process. Katie was attentive, helpful, and kind in determining the best menu for our group. We did a tasting of a few menu items and 6 months later, I'm still dreaming about it. It was THAT good. If given the opportunity to use Crave in the future, we would 100% do so.
Crave Catering is a great team to work with! We hired them for our daughter's wedding and the experience was exceptional. From our first meeting with Kerry to the wedding itself, their expertise was consistent, professional and they stayed true to their contract. No hidden fees or surprises. The staff did a fantastic job with set up and clean up as well.The food was very tasty and served fresh even though we chose the Autumn buffet. Some of our friends and family commented that this was the best wedding food they every had!I would highly recommend Crave Catering for your catering needs! You will not be disappointed.
