We have been recapping the day with our friends and everyone has been raving about the food! The salmon and steak were cooked perfectly which must be really hard to do for a huge group. We also loved the quinoa instead of the potatoes. Overall, you absolutely exceeded expectations and we are so happy with our decision to work with Taste5!"

Unfortunately, Ana is one of the worst people I've ever worked with professionally. She has a…read moreterrible attitude and will lash out at you whenever things don't go perfectly her way. Working with Ana is like walking on egg shells. You never know what's going to set her off. If you send her a text and she interprets it the wrong way, she likely to immediately quit on you. This is what happened to me. Ana is a very selfish person that expects everything to go her way and on her terms. If she even perceives that things aren't going her way, she can't handle it and will overreact and make irrational decisions. The main reason Ana quit without any notice for me after using her for over two years is because I paid her $275 for not working one week for me and she didn't like me doing that. It is the craziest reason I've ever heard for quitting. I was always very nice to hear, but it is never enough with Ana. You can compliment her every week for her services, and she still isn't happy. This is because she never feels adequate enough inside. Ana has personal and mental health issues that also affect her work and get in the way of her communication and how she handles situations. It's pretty much impossible to please Ana, as she always finds a way to turn things against you, including good deeds. I wish I would have stopped using Ana sooner so I didn't have to deal with all her drama and have her quit on me without any warning. She has tried doing this to me before, but I tried appeasing her against my better judgment. In hindsight, I should have stopped working with her when she blew up on me over how she interpreted a text message in the past and threatened to quit on me. Ana is a good cook, but her personal and mental health issues, as well as her short-temper and selfish tendencies are not worth the hassle. I highly recommend never taking a chance with Ana. There are much better cooks and people to deal with than Ana.

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.

A seafood boil, with added clams & lobster, was the chosen hit for the birthday guy! Holly & Chef Terrence were very accommodating with special requests. (NOTE: adding lobsters -- may want to request TBD to pre-cut tails and mallet-crush claws for easier eating.) Guests mistakenly ate a special brownie-stacked birthday cake before the presentation, but Chef Terrence jumped in, salvaged, and created a 'deconstructed' cake with candles that served and entertained us well!

She remained flexible as the attendance list continued to grow. We decided to do the event at my home instead of a venue and she was willing to move the plan. After taking pains to plan a beautiful garden party, it rained so we moved inside the house. Again, Mandy adapted. On the day of the event she showed up on time, set up quickly, and continued to monitor the table throughout the event so I could attend to guests. She and her assistant even cut and circulated the crowd with the cake after the book launch program ended. The food received rave reviews, everything was beautifully laid out, my kitchen was left spotless, and she even gave leftovers to guests, while carefully packaging some for me, since I'd had no time to eat. She is reasonably priced, transparent in her charges, and truly loves what she does. The day she did the shopping and prep she called me, excited at little "finds" that she likes to include in her menu. She has a true passion for catering, as I do for writing.

My husband, Corey and I, used Elevated Catering for our wedding this past May. I didn't realize I…read morehadn't reviewed them until now. We absolutely flat-out LOVED working with Elevated. They were the best vendors we worked with - and we worked with some awesome vendors. They were incredibly communicative, responsive, professional, and fun. They knew all of the ins and outs of what to ask us about, and what to take care of themselves. They gave us such piece of mind in orchestrating much of our wedding, and they worked with us extensively to coordinate between our rentals vendor, dessert vendor and other vendors to set everything up. The price was slightly higher than other caterers we got quotes from, but it was for good reason - the "gold-standard" service they promise is no joke. In addition, the quality of the food we had was heads above those of other caterers we tried around Denver. We had a brunch buffet for the wedding, and they made sure we had food that met the dietary needs of all of our guests - vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike. My husband and I are big foodies, and so enjoying the food at our wedding was of the utmost importance to us. We loved it, and we got rave reviews from our guests. They still tell us that the food was one of the highlights of our day. If we ever have catering needs again, we will not look around, and instead just go to straight to Elevated.

I really don't even know where to begin with this review. Elevated is quite possibly the…read moreworst-managed business I have ever dealt with. My husband and I booked Elevated back in 2019 for our June 2020 wedding. They put on an excellent tasting and we were completely wowed by the food. Shortly after, we booked them and paid our 25% deposit. Then things started to go downhill. I would never wish the amount of anxiety and stress they caused us on any couple. Many of our other vendors went out of their way to be helpful, communicative, and kind during the entire planning process. Elevated did the complete opposite. I feel like, working in the wedding industry, you have to understand that most couples are spending more money on this day then they have on anything else in their lives. They also spend so much time/effort planning the day, coordinating details, and dreaming about what the day will look like. It is supposed to be one of the happiest days of their lives, so as a worker in this industry, you should be doing your absolute best to deliver the day of their dreams and ensure a smooth planning process. Elevated Catering was undoubtedly the most stressful aspect of our 3 year (thanks Covid) engagement. Our biggest complaints are the following: · LACK OF RESPONSIVENESS- Planning a wedding is tough! There are so many moving parts and you have to coordinate so many details with so many different vendors. For this reason, it is important to have a reliable point of contact. Elevated consistently took weeks and oftentimes MONTHS to respond to calls and emails. We constantly felt like we needed to hound them to get any sort of answers. · HORRIBLE SERVICE DAY OF WEDDING- They showed up with only one bartender, when we specifically asked for and were contracted for two bartenders. Many of the staff members were completely deficient in alcohol- related knowledge. For instance, one did not know the difference between Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio. When I asked another server what kind of wine they had on a platter, they said "white". They did not make sure my now husband and I were served any appetizers. We also were not served drinks at our dinner table. We had to walk up to the bar each time, even though we specifically requested a server dedicated to the head table as well as one for the parents' table. Every wedding I've been to, wine glasses have been on the table, so that servers can easily fill guests' glasses. This did not happen. Well after we were seated, I looked at our head table only to see that not one person had a drink. Servers were using our cocktail tables (that we had set up for guests to use and mingle at) to hold dozens of glasses of wine. There were multiple crashes of dishes and wine glasses that were never properly picked up and guests got chards of glass in their feet. Stephen had a staff member's 14-year-old child working our wedding because they were so short-handed. Aside from the fact that 14 years old seems extremely young to be working a wedding event, the child was NOT TRAINED whatsoever. When we asked Stephen about this, he said "Is this ageism showing?" · NO CLEAR LEADERSHIP- Stephen Tanner, the owner, has an excuse for literally everything. Nothing is ever the business' fault. There is no clear point of contact. Occasionally he would give you the name and email of a new person of contact, but shortly after, they would leave the company and you would never be notified of the change. The website was never updated with current personnel and contact information, so you would continually reach out with no response. After our wedding day, we contacted Stephen to discuss our awful wedding day service. He told us he KNEW the head-table's server was doing a terrible job, because she was dealing with altitude sickness. We then asked why he didn't appoint someone else or come up to us and ask if we needed anything. He said there was never a "right time". He also continually blamed every one of Elevated's mishaps on everyone else. While we did have other vendors who messed up throughout the day, as a business owner, I don't think it's appropriate to follow up every complaint with an excuse such as "Oh well the DJ messed up the timeline", "The baker messed up the Crème Brule", "She had altitude sickness", "You're being ageist", " I had to pick up a 2ndjob because of COVID", "The appointment must have fallen off my calendar", "I forgot to tell you they're no longer with the company", "I did receive your email, I've just been so busy". At some point, you must be a leader and take responsibility for your actions and your horrible customer service. · LACK OF FOLLOW THROUGH- There were many appointments and meetings set up that no one ever showed up for. There were many times Stephen would say he would get something to us next day, only for days and weeks to pass by with nothing. He also promised services the day of our wedding that were never received.
