We recently used Three Tomatoes for our Oct wedding in downtown Denver. Natalie and the Three Tomatoes team were excellent! They expertly navigated a complex venue with no kitchen facility (art gallery) and made sure that we were fed first (on a night when it would be so easy to get distracted and not eat enough!) Natalie helped us curate a unique menu that featured delicious options with lots of seasonal items. She was responsive and so helpful with suggestions for alternatives and ways we could save some money. We were so impressed with how well the team managed a smaller venue during set up and break down, working around our guests without being disruptive and barely even noticeable. The team never left a glass empty or a dirty plate on the table too long. They were professional, courteous, and excellent to work with. Many thanks! read more

Seriously hands down, Sarah Hoffenberg & the Three Tomatoes' staff were AMAZING! It was my very first time planning anything on this scale to where I needed a caterer so I was a little nervous just in general, but when I reached out to Sarah to discuss quoting and my vision, from the beginning I was very impressed! She is very knowledgeable on all areas of the industry and helped coordinate with many of our vendors to make the planning process much easier on us. I just LOVE how helpful she was each time we spoke, and I never felt as though I was just another client, but more like a friend or family member. To me, that is what made me feel confident in hiring Three Tomatoes! AND when I came to Sarah with my vision of what inspired me on Pinterest, Sarah immediately understood what I was trying to accomplish and made sure it was going to be everything I had envisioned. To no surprise the results were outstandingly breath taking and it exceeded my expectations!! The food was so DELICIOUS and the servers were AWESOME! I cannot say thank you enough! THANK YOU Three Tomatoes Catering!!! The Shankles:) read more

I want to thank Abby Schissler for planning and coordinating a fabulous pool party for my son's bar mitzvah! The cowtown bbq was delicious and the staff onsite was professional, courteous, and fun! A special shoutout to Dale Gibson, Justin Wheelock, Leslie Friie and Paul Niemiec for executing Abby's plan flawlessly! read more

We used Three Tomatoes for our wedding on 10/02/2015. We worked closely with Sarah and she could not have been a more perfect match. We told her that we were looking for a fun menu with some sort of beer flare. She selected a variety of passed apps, a Street Taco Station and a BBQ Station with beer inspired BBQ sauces. We wanted to do something out of the ordinary as far as dessert was concerned- we wanted donuts! We got a fun dessert station with different dipping sauces with Italian-style donuts sprinkled with edible glitter! The menu could not be more spot on with our foodie lifestyle. We didn't change a single thing to the menu she had created for us, and our guests absolutely loved it!!!! Thank you so much Three Tomatoes for killing it at our wedding!!!!! read more

Three Tomatoes catered my daughter's wedding reception. The food, service,rentals and coordination was great. Working with Abbey was a pleasure. We had such a beautiful evening, thanks for making it so special. read more

We used Three Tomatoes for our daughter's wedding three weeks ago. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. The food was delicious, the presentation lovely, and the staff wonderfully accommodating. Best yet was our event coordinator, Donnah Phipps. Donnah was exceptional - working with us every step of the process to ensure that all our needs and expectations were met. Donnah even helped with issues not related to catering. We were completely happy with Three Tomatoes and would recommend them without hesitation.. read more

If you need someone to cater your event then sign up with these people. It was absolutely delicious. When was the last time you had a 100% thumbs up consensus on food. We used three tomatoes for our Bronco stadium tailgate party. They delivered to our RV down at S.A.Mile High and we were all so pleased. There were 31 of us and not a single complaint. I call that a success! Thank you Three Tomatoes!!!!!!!!! read more

We recently celebrated my mother's 90th birthday with 250 people at a lake. The logistics were challenging but 3 Tomatoes rose to the occasion. Our experience could not have been better. From the beginning, Jillian offered invaluable advice, gave us choices and then handled details with confidence and charm. That evening, their team had great leadership. The food was delicious - food allergy issues were handled adroitly, and the serving staff was organized and efficient -- and so friendly that they enhanced the evening for our guests. I recommend 3 Tomatoes without reservation. read more

We decided to use Three Tomatoes for our wedding since they seemed to have a great understanding of how best to execute different food stations. Unfortunately, as many others have mentioned, they struggled with communication and do not know how to take responsibility for their mistakes. After we paid our deposit, responses to our questions would sometimes take weeks and we had to follow up multiple times to get simple changes reflected in our event order. The biggest issue we had was that they did not bring enough food and their response was that it must have been because the first half of the group took too much. I don't buy it. Supplying and controlling inventory during a buffet should be second nature to a company that has been around for as long as they have. They told me "it's a very popular dish" - well it stands to reason, they should know how much to provide for X number of people. They charged us per person per item. It would be one thing if a table or two didn't get to taste it, but it was HALF of my guests that walked up a an empty station. Also, one of my guests was told that the staff had miss proportioned the servings so they ran out sooner than they anticipated. When I brought this up to my contact, her response was "your guest must have misunderstood." At no point did they take any responsibility for what happened, but offered an insulting 10% off the subtotal of food. Two stars - only because the food was very good. However, running out of food during the middle of dinner services is unacceptable. read more

Three tomatoes provided us with delicious passed hors d'oeuvres and a great dessert bar for our wedding. On the other hand, all of the food served on our dinner buffet was very disappointing. The chicken was dry and tasteless (but was moist and flavorful at our tasting), and our tortellini with vodka cream sauce (also amazingly delicious at our tasting) was horrible and had no cream in the sauce. It tasted as though cans of plain crushed tomatoes had been poured over soggy tortellini - they did not even use similar ingredients as those that were used at the tasting. Our service captain was also wonderful and attentive. However, our catering coordinator (Donnah) was very disappointing. We also hired Donnah as our day-of coordinator, since she seemed nice, take charge, and we thought it would be an advantage that she was also our catering coordinator. She didn't listen to many things we asked for, was rude to my mother and made an inappropriate comment to her about my mother's battle with cancer. Donnah began snapping at us and forgetting details about two weeks prior to the wedding. She also yelled at myself, my mother and my new husband on our wedding day (in front of our guests) when she made a huge mistake when it came to the gluten free food we ordered for several celiac guests (including my mother). Donnah even charged us for an entire hour (as our day-of coordinator) that only took half an hour. This meeting was mostly about the special needs food and nothing we discussed got accomplished. Not to mention that I went to three tomatoes for this meeting and she was on the clock there as well. Donnah and our dinner food were the only two disappointing things about our wedding. Although our day was still beautiful (thanks to many other AMAZING vendors) we wanted others to know so that educated decisions could be made when choosing their own wedding caterer and coordinator. read more

Just attended an event they catered. With about 5 tables out of 14 left - they ran out of food! I mean every single food item - not just one dish! When asked they just shrugged their shoulders. How about call the boss - get more food delivered? Order pizzas - something. People pay big money for catering - they expect their guests to get food. These guys are apparently NOT experts. SHAME - on them! With so many great caters out there why risk it! read more

In relation to trying to set up a event at fossil trace ........Well an awesome place to play a round of golf........however I have called several times over a extended periods of time to schedule an event here, (a wedding to be specific) and not one returned phone call or response to email. I got a call about catering but it was no help and I was told someone that knew information would call me .....,I officially have given up trying to get ahold of someone! My fiancée has also made several attempts as well and nothing.....For this I will play my golf somewhere else and definitely wouldn't recommend them for an event or catering read more

In preparation for our wedding we have reached out to caterers. The initial step in determining a quality business is outreach and responsiveness. We have had neither from Three Tomatoes. We filled out the inquiry online - called by phone and no response. This is poor business from the onset - I wouldn't trust them to put together an event let alone run their business if they are not responsive to the client. read more

Three Tomatoes catered my wedding, and they were absolutely wonderful! They were so easy to work with from the very beginning. They went out of their way to set up a tasting that worked for our schedule. We gave them an idea of what we wanted and they gave us that, and then offered suggestions to make the menu even more wonderful. During the planning, whenever I had a question, they were always there to help with a pleasant attitude. We worked with Hannah, and she is great!!! She really took some of the stress of wedding planning off of my shoulders because she was always there when I needed her and always delivered what she promised. She responded to emails in a timely manner, answering all of my questions thoroughly. Three Tomatoes also worked very well with all of my other vendors. We went to several tastings with other companies, and Three Tomatoes definitely stood out. Their prices were cheaper than other caterers who were providing less food/drinks or cuts of meat that were not as high in quality. Our food was amazing! The chicken with artichokes was the most popular. They let us do a unique display of several types of seasonal vegetables and the mashed potatoes were delicious. The beef was so tender you didn't even need a knife to cut it. Everything was cooked to perfection and had wonderful flavor. They also set up the tables with linens and tableware that we rented from somewhere else and the presentation looked gorgeous! We received so many compliments! Hannah even took the time to come with us to the rental place to help us pick out and plan what we needed for our tables. Our venue holds two weddings per day, and so because of the earlier wedding, we had to have a late ceremony. I was worried about losing daylight so I asked my venue if we could move up the ceremony at least a half hour. They said that it was up to our caterer, because they were the ones that needed the time to get everything ready. I asked them and Hannah and her team were willing to cut out a half hour of their prep time, so that our ceremony could be moved up. I thought that was extra special... especially since one week before the wedding, I also added bows to the chairs which required even more work on their part! They did everything they could to accommodate our wishes. This was a main concern of mine, and they completely helped alleviate the stress of the situation by adjusting their timeline to help us. I can honestly say that they were my favorite vendor that we hired for our wedding. The day of the wedding, the main server even helped my elderly grandmother get everything she needed, so she wouldn't have to use her walker to go through the buffet line. They brought alcoholic drinks to my guests at their tables (even though the alcohol was provided by another company) which was great, because then my guests didn't have to stand in line at the bar. My family members and every wedding guest that I have spoken to said that our food was phenomenal and the service was great. If I ever need a caterer in the future, I will not even shop around. I would recommend Three Tomatoes to anyone who wants great food, great customer service, and a great experience overall! Thank you to Hannah and the entire Three Tomatoes staff who helped to make our wedding a success! read more

So grateful to Three Tomatoes, Cowtown branch, for fabulous catering at our daughter's wedding a week ago. Planning was a breeze, food was awesome and guests were all served through the well designed buffet line in no time at all. Abby is the best! She can plan and create any event seamlessly. All thumbs up! read more

My husband I chose 3 Tomatoes Catering for our large wedding (250 people) after working w/ Abby whose attention to detail and responsiveness was unmatched. The night of our event - every detail was perfect. EVERY single guest raved to us about the food - folks were amazed at how moist the pork and salmon were - how perfectly cooked the vegetables were - w/ just the right amount of crunch. I must admit - we knew the food was amazing at our tasting but tried not to hold high standards for the wedding as we could only imagine how hard it is to cook for 250 people in a makeshift kitchen. Three Tomatoes blew our expectations out of the water - complete pros (and I was a chef for 8 years!). The desserts were impeccable - hors' complex yet simple - and everything in between just tasted damn good! Our photographer commented on how attentive Abby was throughout the reception - which didn't surprise us (as she was the reason we chose to go w/ 3 Tomatoes!!!) - however, from a photographer who does countless amount of weddings - we knew our raving opinion was validated. The staff was fabulous and friendly and all of our friends think it was the event of the decade! Of course we would have to agree. We could never thank Three Tomatoes enough. We would recommend them a thousand times over - and will always call them for any event from here until death-do-us-part! read more

I am so disappointed to write this update. We've used Three Tomatoes for 5 years running to cater parties using their previously reliable and (we thought) fantastic "to go" option. Their customer service has been outstanding in the past (see prior five star review). For our party this year, we ordered caramel popcorn, as we've ordered for several years running -- generally a huge (if messy) hit with kids and adults alike. This year, I tore off the plastic moments before guests arrived to discover that the caramel corn was soggy and vaguely slimy. No way I could serve it, and it caused a bit of panic in my hostessy heart, which is not a great way to kick off a party. Then I turned to the mini cupcakes -- we've ordered these for approximately 4 years running -- I always send pictures from prior years to remind the pastry chef and staff what they looked like (previously -- amazing -- 3D fondant ghosts covering a chocolate buttercream filling, tiny hand-piped vampire teeth and lips over dark chcocolate ganache poured over buttercream, etc). They are extraordinarily expensive at $2.50 per piece for a less-than-bite-sized cupcake (the cake itself is average), but I've been willing to pay this mark-up based on the true artistry in the decoration. This year, I found totally average, basic cupcake decoration -- white buttercream, in shapes of flat ghosts and skulls with some black detail, piped pumpkins. Perfectly fine, but nowhere near the absolutely extraordinary cupcake decor we'd loved in prior years,and certainly not in keeping with the price. This is a party for all our friends with kids and I've had tons of compliments and inquiries from years past on the gorgeous cupcakes. Definitely not the case this year. I immediately emailed my Three Tomatoes planner to let her know the caramel corn was a total loss and that the cupcakes were far simpler than past years. To her credit, they agreed to refund the popcorn in full -- apparently they were trying a new recipe, which was a failure. She emailed me and called me re: the cupcakes, but did not offer the partial refund I requested, While I appreciate the outreach, the resolution was not satisfactory. Her position was that the cupcakes they provided were beautiful and the far-more-fancy cupcakes they'd provided in years past were now "outdated." I guess I didn't realize there were major trends in Halloween cupcake decoration? I've been a very loyal customer for 5+ years and I really expected more from Three Tomatoes in terms of customer service and dealing with a disappointed client. Again, I am very sorry and sad to provide this update, since I have really loved their concept and food in the past. We will likely be seeking out new catering options in the future, and I am very disheartened to have to provide this negative review. read more
