Epicurean was FANTASTIC! I had originally chosen a different catering company for my wedding because my fiance and I wanted BBQ. When a number of mishaps, poor communication, and unfriendly contacts had happened I reached out to Taryn, who I had worked with in the past for various events for work. She was AWESOME! Luckily I had not been asked to make a deposit with the other caterer, and one call with Taryn solidified my decision to work with Epicurean! I couldn't have been happier with my experience. She really listened to what we wanted and put together a BBQ family style menu for us. She was responsive and professional in her communications with me and the food was incredible! We had so many of our guests come up to tell us how good the food was - they had never had wedding food so great! Kudos to the staff as well. Timely and professional, really awesome! My original hesitation with hiring Epicurean off the bat, I was concerned with cost. Because I had worked with them in the past I knew how top notch they are. Taryn worked within my budget and executed my dream wedding. THANK YOU EPICUREAN! Edit: She also helped me pick out event rentals :) read more

Attended a gala fund raiser last night, October 6, 2018. Adoption Exchange is a uniquely successful organization that places children out to permanent families after foster care. They have been around for 30+ years. The Epicurean Group catered the event, amazing food and wait staff! read more

Epicurean offers exceptional quality in all areas of their services. From the food to the staff, they really have it all. Big shout out to Mary and Taryn! read more

Upfront and initial interactions in the planning stage were professional and led me to think they were the right choice for our wedding.... Then they failed miserably on execution, showing up 3 HOURS LATE for the reception. Our guest didn't have food for a while, it was cold when it came out and they somehow failed to plug in coffee makers, thus serving cold coffee to guest. Instead of dealing with their failure in a professional manner they dodged the issue for weeks on end, circling the wagons and in the end seemed reluctant to compensate for their failure. My advice, try somewhere else. read more

I had such a wonderful experience with Epicurean. Their staff really goes above and beyond, shout out to Taryn, and the food and service is an experience all on its own. They have something for every palette with a quality and class that will elevate any event. Amazing communication at every step and the day of the event I knew I could rest easy knowing they had every detail planned out. It was a pure joy getting to know their staff and would highly recommend them for your next event! read more

I am a corporate event planner, and have been working with Epicurean since 2004. In 10+ years of using Epicurean on the average 5-10 times a year, I have never had an issue with their food quality, service or timing. They are consistently top notch. We have produced everything from 10 person executive dinners, to 3000 person high end events and I have NEVER been disappointed! Larry DiPasquale, Wesley Guzman, Jenna Johansen and the entire Epicurean team are always very hands on, and never let anything slip through the cracks! I have many events on the books with Epi this year, and will continue to use them and recommend them to my colleagues and friends for a long time to come! read more

See all

I am overwhelmed with the amazing job that epicurean did on my wedding a few days ago. Everything was perfect, and I am so impressed with how thoughtful that girl was. She made sure there were pretzels for us, and water, and she was just so on top of it. There were lots of compliments from my guests on the food (people said it was the best food they have ever eaten) and the exceptional service!! I could not be happier to have picked Epicurean. Everything looked adorable, and we were so well taken care of. If you are looking for a caterer, PICK EPICUREAN. they had this cute little food truck pull right up to my venue, and the meals were out super quickly. They worked perfectly with all of my other vendors, and Jessica was always answering my crazy tons of emails. I honestly could not have imagined anything better!!! read more

I could not have been more pleased with these guys! Matt was the coordinator for my event. He was so helpful and professional. We only had a week to plan out the event and he did such a great job putting together a proposal and having it out within only a few days. At the event, Jeff was the captain and also did a splendid job. Of course by Murphy's Law we were having a blizzard the day of the event so many of my guests couldn't come. Jeff made all of our guests that did make it feel welcome and at home in a somewhat awkward situation. The food was delicious! My favorite: Grapes with chèvre, pistachios, and truffle salt.. omg I can taste it now! Lamb chops were amazing as well as the phyllo wrapped figs. Everything was over-the-top delicious. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Natalie and the rest of the Epicurean team. Natalie was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very beginning of the planning process, she was incredibly organized, open to ideas and feedback, and just a beacon of positivity. She was definitely my favorite vendor I worked with for the wedding. She worked with us to create a menu that fit our budget and was the only caterer we found who could create a menu that fit our vision of an Asian inspired menu that would still be crowd pleasers for a variety of tastes! We had a miso cod dish that I'm still thinking about- one of our wedding guests keeps trying to recreate it at home because he loved it so much. They truly went above and beyond for us both leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day. I sent Natalie a photo of what I was thinking for my escort cards and she actually placed the order for me and hand wrote them all! On the day of the wedding, the little kids wanted something more plain, so someone from the staff went out and bought them all McDonalds. We didn't even know until after the wedding that they'd done that! The service was fantastic, and they made sure the groom and I always had food and drinks on hand. They even packed up some food for us at the end of the night. We loved all the dishes and cannot recommend them highly enough! From quality of food to professionalism, Epicurean really stood out as heads above the other caterers. read more

I wish wedding venues didn't make you use their specific caterers because Epicurean is the AAAAMAZING! I am a notoriously picky person when it comes to events, and I was supremely impressed with their staff, presentation, food and professionalism. Worth every penny. read more

Epicurean catered our wedding a couple of weeks ago, and we can't say enough positive things about our experience. They were so helpful, responsive, and transparent through the whole process. There were no surprises or unexpected happenings, and we really appreciated that amidst the stress of wedding planning. Cynthia was AMAZING and so incredibly helpful. She helped me consider things to plan for that I would have missed entirely without her. Oh, and the food... the food was PERFECT. Our guests loved it as much as we did, and Epicurean superbly accommodated our guests with special dietary needs. Their staff was so attentive and kind while serving and bartending. We can't thank Epicurean enough for helping to make our big day so smooth and perfect! Couldn't recommend them more highly! read more

I work for the CEO of a local company and we always choose to work with Epicurean. They've handled our large annual client offsite for the past few years and always come to the table with delicious food and creative ideas for presentation! I love working with Alexis and her team. She takes care of everything that we ask for and offers ideas for things we haven't even thought of! Recently I even used them for a smaller personal event and was so lucky to have them taking care of everything behind the scenes. I will always recommend Epicurean! read more

I've received so many compliments about the food served at our wedding reception. And, I mean, I should because I spent all morning on the day of my wedding slaving away in the kitchen. Yes, of course, I'm kidding. I only have Epicurean to thank for the delicious food! As the husband and I are big fans of brunch, we thought it'd be fun to have our wedding reception revolve around our favorite meal. We had biscuits with sausage gravy, french toast stuffed with whipped cream cheese, piperade with vegetables, beignets, bacon, potatoes and yum and yum and yum. On the day of our wedding, Epicurean executed everything, everything from set up to the cocktail hour to the brunch, perfectly. They arrived at the wedding venue not just on time, but 30 minutes early. By the time I arrived, all of the chairs and tables were set up and dressed beautifully. They coordinated all of the rentals (chairs, linens, etc) and all of the liquor for the bar and they handled all of the event set up and breakdown. I didn't have to lift a finger! We worked with Wesley (Senior Event Designer) in planning our big day and he was a pleasure to work with - one of the most personable people I've ever done business with. Admittedly, there were a few times during our planning that I got a little nervous that something may get forgotten, but my worry was pointless because Epicurean was all over every last little detail. So pleased with both the food and the presentation! read more

Epicurean did the catering for our wedding on December 22, 2010. Their creativity, professionalism, and palette pleasing food was a hit. I am so pleased with them. We did a dessert reception with a s'more station, bananas foster station, and tons of other fun and creative desserts. They took in to consideration every detail and made our night perfect. Their staff was really friendly and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is ever doing an event that requires catering. Our guests are still talking about the food a couple of weeks later. Thanks again, Epicurean! read more

Outrageous service charges. Lots of hidden costs that weren't disclosed upfront. We had high hopes based on the food we sampled but due to the lack of professionalism of the event planning staff, we decided to move to a different vendor. If you're planning a small wedding, please stay away from them. There are plenty of restaurants that will offer much better prices and service for a meal! read more

We used Epicurean for our wedding day - cocktail hour and plated dinner reception. Everything was wonderful!! We received so many compliments on the food!! Months later friends and family are still commenting. The service was wonderful as well - everything from the set-up to the timing and transitions was wonderful. The whole staff was helpful, kind and professional. I would highly recommend Epicurean for any event! read more

Jessica and her team were amazing. Especially prior to the event she was great helping pick out the proper food/drink, event layout, as well as incorporating our network's logo. The event was flawless. The staff were professional, attentive, polished, and overall positive. We will absolutely use Jessica, and Epicurean, again for our next event. read more

Hundreds of receptions. Haven't been to one so carefully served with attention to diets and special requests. Trout. How do you get trout on the table hot? Epicurean does it all. Hire them. At Space Gallery. read more

Lauren rocked it! Tim made great pizzas! Joel kept everyone's drinks full! Great team!!!

Jessica and Jeff and the rest of the team were incredibly kind, helpful and supportive. We are immensely grateful to them and the Epicurean team for helping to make our day so pleasant and memorable! read more

Very accommodating with lots of attention to detail. We were busy with the photographer during most of the cocktail hour so Jessica brought us a few of each of the passed hors d'oeuvres. Delicious food! We had nothing but compliments from our guests. Thank you!!! read more

Great at what they do. A passionate team at hand!

"Epicurean's staff was professional from first contact through the end of the reception. Everyone was courteous, helpful and industrious, the food delicious and presented to perfection. We couldn't have asked for better service. Thank you!" read more

We worked with Natalie for our wedding in April and she was awesome! Everyone talked about how great the food was and they even had some extra kids meals for some of the picky adults. They made sure we got appetizers and a couple drinks while we were doing photos and had our meals waiting at the table so we could eat fast and mingle. We had our wedding moved inside due to weather but they flipped everything so fast and it went off without a hitch. Would definitely suggest them for anyone looking for a caterer! read more

their food truck was at the USA Pro Challenge food court. they had a terrific black bean grinder, which i was really glad to find since nothing else around was close to vegan-friendly. their fresh lemonade was super good, too. read more

Epicurean handled our grand opening last night and both the food and service were amazing! True professionals in every sense of the word. I hope I have the opportunity to use them again soon. They are the best. read more

Working with Epicurean was fantastic! They completely customized our menu to be exactly what we envisioned and the food looked and tasted fantastic. All of our guests have been commenting on how wonderful the food was at our wedding! read more

Epicurean is simply the best event planning and catering company in Denver (and probably in the country.) We have hosted three large events with them, including one at Mile High Stadium. All three have surpassed every expectation we could have ever imagined. It's not just that the food that is amazing, their leftovers are better than most fine dining restaurants, but the service is incredible. From event planning with the most creative (and fun) people in the industry, to chefs whose innovation and ideas are only surpassed by their flawless execution, to event staff who are meticulously trained to cater to you every whim, without ever being "seen". Epicurean truly defines what it means to be "the best" at what they do. And, quite simply, they make people happy. read more

Everything from start to finish from my experience with Epicurean was above and beyond. I remember emailing them (along with a few other caterers to compare pricing) and Jessica called me back within 10 minutes with so much kind energy and was so helpful. I immediately got a good feeling about working with her and everyone on the team and never looked back. Jessica very quickly understood my style, vision and taste and I trusted her suggestions completely. Planning our Wedding menu was never a task, it was always enjoyable. I think Jessica is the most organized, considerate, professional lady ever, and we couldn't have been luckier to have her on our side. During the wedding, guests were coming up to me about how incredible the food was. Not just delicious but the presentation people were impressed with too. The biggest compliment I can say is that my mom was SO impressed. My mom doubted from the beginning how it would be possible to feed 150+ people in the middle of an open Colorado field, without a real kitchen, and I know she thought it was just perfect. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Our wedding even got featured on Martha Stewart Weddings, and we couldn't have done it without Epicurean. Everyone involved was amazing, and Jessica deserves a week off for all her love and care!!!!!! I highly recommend. read more

Wesley is the absolute BEST!! We felt very well taken care of from the very start of the planning process to the day of and during the wedding. The food was out of this world and the service was impeccable. We cannot say enough good things about Epicurean. Thank you for helping to make our day so memorable. read more

Epicurean was a huge disappointment at our wedding. We chose them because of their reputation as the "best" and because we had big, exciting plans for our wedding dinner. We had an $11,000 food budget for 80 guests. The cost was so high because we had such high food presentation standards, and because we were hiring a literal army of staff to plate seated dinner to our guests simultaneously. 8 waiters placing 8 plates in front of 8 guests at the same time. That detail, and so many others, were in fact completely ignored by Epicurean the night of the wedding while my husband and I sat there in shock and disappointment during our wedding dinner rather than enjoying ourselves. Some of the food on our menu was completely wrong (& they were clear on what we wanted after 4 tastings) & their chicken was awful. Inedible. Sawdust. So upsetting because it had been delicious in our tastings. We're sharing this honest yet negative review because Epicurean refuses to offer any remedy to the fact we paid dearly for services they did not provide. Take caution when hiring the "best." They may in fact just be resting on an outdated reputation that is no longer deserved. read more
