Question 1

Do you offer tastings?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Private tastings are one of our favorite parts of planning. Couples typically sample four to six dishes, explore presentation options, and fine-tune the menu with their event specialist. Tastings are complimentary for booked clients or may be applied as a credit if you decide to move forward.

Question 2

Do you offer help with rentals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We coordinate all rental needs — tables, linens, glassware, china, serviceware, and specialty items — through our trusted local partners. Your event planner manages orders, deliveries, and returns so everything matches your menu, color palette, and floor plan: one contact, seamless coordination.

Question 3

Do you offer cake cutting services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cake cutting is included with all full-service weddings. Our trained staff will coordinate with your baker, provide serviceware, and plate or box slices for guests. If you’re featuring a dessert bar or late-night sweet station, we’ll staff and style that too — so you can enjoy every bite without lifting a finger.

Question 4

Why is wedding catering so expensive?

Accepted Answer

Because an extraordinary meal is the heartbeat of your event, quality catering blends culinary craftsmanship, service expertise, logistics, and design — not just food. We source premium local ingredients, hire and train hospitality pros, coordinate rentals, and handle every behind-the-scenes detail so you don’t have to — the result: guests who remember the food and service long after the last dance.

Question 5

What is wedding catering

Accepted Answer

Wedding catering is the complete hospitality experience behind your reception meal — from menu design and tastings to service staff, rentals, and timelines. At A Spice of Life Catering, we pair creative chefs with seasoned event producers who ensure the meal reflects you — your story, your guests, your day.

Question 6

What does wedding catering cost include?

Accepted Answer

Our proposals typically include: • Chef-crafted menus (appetizers, entrees, sides, desserts) • On-site chefs and service staff • Buffet or plated service setup • Equipment, rentals coordination, and cleanup • Tastings and planning consultations Optional add-ons include bar packages, late-night snacks, and sustainable serviceware. Every estimate is itemized, so there are no surprises later.

Question 7

Is there a delivery fee?

Accepted Answer

Delivery costs vary by location, size, and setup needs. Within Boulder city limits, many deliveries are included in your proposal. Outside areas such as Denver, Lyons, or the foothills may consist of a modest travel or staffing fee to cover time and logistics. Every estimate clearly itemizes these details — no surprises later.

Question 8

How many times do we meet before the wedding?

Accepted Answer

You will connect with your event planner several times — from initial consultation to final logistics review. We typically hold three key meetings: menu design, final walkthrough, and timeline confirmation. Additional check-ins are always welcome; our goal is to help you feel confident and cared for every step of the way.

Question 9

How far out do you recommend booking your services?

Accepted Answer

Peak Colorado wedding dates (June through October) typically book 9–12 months in advance. Winter and spring events can often be confirmed in a shorter window. We recommend reaching out as soon as you have a venue and guest count estimate so we can reserve your date and start designing your menu.

Question 10

What is your service area?

Accepted Answer

We proudly cater throughout Boulder, Denver, Longmont, Louisville, Lyons, Golden, and the Front Range. Destination events outside this region are considered on a case-by-case basis. If your venue fits our logistics and quality standards, we’ll be there — with great food and a smile.

Question 11

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our chefs specialize in inclusive menus that delight every guest. We regularly create vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free dishes and can address allergies with care. Share your guests’ needs during planning, and we’ll design thoughtful alternatives that blend seamlessly into your meal.

Question 12

What happens after we book?

Accepted Answer

Once you confirm your date with a signed proposal and deposit, we create a detailed planning timeline. You’ll receive a welcome packet, tasting schedule, and contact sheet for your dedicated planner. From there, our team manages menu refinements, rentals, and final logistics until your wedding day is perfectly executed.
