    Cutting our Chocolate wedding cake made by Catering By Design. Best cake everrrr!!!
    Joanne S.

    ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS COMPANY!!!! Alycen Doi is fabulous. They catered our 40 person wedding last year at the Denver Botanic Gardens, and everyone talked about how lovely the food was. They literally cater the menu and overall design exactly how you want it. If you have preferred flavors or a dietary restrictions they are very accommodating. At the time we had a couple Gluten Free guests, a vegan and I wasn't eating dairy. We were all accommodated easily! At the wedding steak was an option, and it was cooked perfectly my husband cut it with a knife like butter! Other meat lovers attendees were equally impressed! If you're in Denver and looking for high quality, excellent service I would highly recommend using Catering By Design. PS-- our wedding cake was a dairy free chocolate cake... it was UNREAL!!!! The BEST DF chocolate cake PERIODT! Can't wait to put in an order for that cake for our anniversary coming up(:

    We had the best experience with catering by design for our June 2024 wedding. They were recommended to us by our wedding planner (who had done a bit of a pre-introduction) so I was impressed by how prepared they came to our intro meeting with ideas/suggestions. They took the time to listen to our preferences and asked about our food memories to help design the initial menu design (we did stations). They were super responsive during the menu editing process, taking our feedback and ideas and giving suggestions based on their experience. It was truly an excellent collaborative experience. I was so impressed by the breadth of food and experiences they can offer! It felt like the choices were endless but they guided us through. The tasting made us feel so special and I loved having them dine with us, taking notes along the way as we tasted and listening to our comments to make sure our menu was perfect! When I tell you our guests raved about the food I am not kidding. I was still hearing about it weeks later when we met up with some of our friends at another wedding. It was truly more than I could have imagined. Thank you so much CBD for making our day epic!

    Catering by Design Alycen DOI Event Production Manager Event Wedding October 3 2021 This crew of workers went all out with a 5 star effort. One young lady helped me find my card to see what table I was at. 2 or 3 others pleasant workers at the Bar serving drinks were Jonny on the spot. Waiters, waitresses I observed worked diligently to get trays out and serve people. They were kind and caring. When I misplaced a sweater they helped check for it. Some smart person left it on a hanger in the coat room right in front. I was glad to get it back. There is more of how efficient they were. It seems the manager had spoken with the crew earlier and they listened and took that extra effort to do a good job while interacting as needed with the guest there. Note I was a guest. In comparison with some other places I have been that expertise that they showed has not always been my experience even with my own events. I commended them and promised an email/write up to let others know of this experience.

    Very dysfunctional. Products are only average. Constant chaos among their workers. I would not use them.

    We used TBD Foods to cater our micro-wedding and had an amazing experience! Holly answered all our…read morequestions leading up to the big day and her team provided high quality food and service (we had vegans, gluten-free, etc. and everyone was cared for).

    TLDR: Unprofessional, not very gracious with mistakes and disorganized in the proposal process…read more I reached out to TBD Foods in the last week of September 2025 for a wedding in Denver in August 2026 after working with him in 2018. I am from Denver but live in CA currently and am planning from afar. Sent an incredibly detailed inquiry with day-of event timeline by hour, menu ideas, location (just a few blocks from their prep kitchen) and a bit about the event. Received two separate responses from he and his wife, Holly, seeking details already provided in my initial inquiry like guest count, location, time. Sent several emails back and forth clarifying capabilities, menu ideas, rentals etc. and finally had to set up a call in October (initiated by me after many proposal mistakes) to align. There was constant confusion regarding the style of the event and rentals - TBH, the many proposal revisions due to their mistakes maybe should have been the hint this might not be the best fit. But we went ahead! Terrence was late to the call on October 15 but let me know ahead of time and I genuinely didn't have an issue with it. After aligning, I paid $100 to have a menu tasting on Monday, December 22 when my husband and I would be visiting Denver from CA. So, this is a tasting that has been on the calendar for at least a month. When we arrived at our tasting (after confirming via email the week before and day of) 15 minutes before (6:45p) the scheduled time of 7pm, Terence is irate. Mistakenly, the event in my calendar was in PT (since we live in CA) instead of MT. He says that he refuses to serve us because we have "disrespected him and wasted his time and he has a 4-month-old at home." He continues to say that we are disorganized and lack care and that in addition to not offering a tasting, he will not put in the effort to cook for our wedding after how we've treated him. We are SUPER apologetic - this is something we've spent money on, confirmed via email and have been looking forward to. When asked why he didn't call to check on our arrival time, he said he "doesn't have my phone number. And you confirmed with Holly so that should have been enough." Because I filled out an entire inquiry on their website and spoke with him personally to schedule this tasting, it's BUCK WILD to say that you don't have my number and think sending an email is problem solving enough. We would have literally hopped in the car and been there in 15 minutes had we been given the courtesy of a phone call. All of this to say, we made a mistake, were very apologetic and were treated super rudely and given no tasting despite paying. 0/10 for TBD Foods.

    I ordered the family Thanksgiving meal online from Tony's because it included everything I love…read moreexcept the pies. They do have those available but my daughter likes to bake for us. So, their pricing was in line with other high quality meals and it serves 10-12, which is perfect for 8 people on Thanksgiving ;) I ordered the whole roasted turkey (they have several types of turkey available) and the side dish bundle which included mashed potatoes, sage stuffing, praline sweet potatoes, green beans almandine (with tons of yummy bacon), gluten free gravy, cranberry relish, and brioche rolls. The non-contact, drive through pick up the day before Thanksgiving was staffed by very helpful, friendly people wearing masks. They put my order on my back seat and I was through the line in less than 10 minutes. When I got home, I immediately started unpacking everything so I could divide it up into "to go" orders for my family Zoom on Thanksgiving. I thought the turkey was frozen and started to panic but when I called them, they said it was not really frozen but very chilled and the shrink wrap made it seem frozen. They had me submerge it in hot water for about an hour. The directions say to heat it in the oven for about an hour, then tent it to rest, then slice it. Since I didn't have time for that, after it warmed up, we were able to slice off enough for my daughter's family so we could give her her share when she dropped off the pies. I split up the meal 4 ways and with her pies, we delivered everything just in time for our 1:00 pm Zoom. We all had different favorites for the food but we all agreed that everything, including the turkey (after we each heated up our own part) was delicious. My favorite was the praline sweet potatoes. They were creamy and had a great praline flavor and came with candied pecans to sprinkle over the top. I highly recommend this complete meal from Tony's and it would have been so easy if we were having people over. The fact that I had to divide and package it up made it a little more difficult but still much easier than cooking. They are offering more meals for the holidays that include turkey or prime rib, beef tenderloin or Applewood smoked ham. I'm betting they are all delicious! Thank you Tony's for making my pandemic Thanksgiving so much easier! You are my new "go to" for family meals.

    We hired Tony's for a Holiday dinner for our staff this past Thanksgiving. This was the second…read moreyear we hired them for the same event. The food was really, really good. We especially loved the cornbread stuffing and potatoes. We also had ham which I was expecting to be generic processed "ham in a can" and that was not the case. It was really favorable. They were here early and set up really quickly. I was also worried about not having enough but the portions were generous.
