I cannot not rave enough about Crave Catering. Not only is their serving staff and managing staff amazing but the food is absolutely the best ever for any wedding. I just celebrated my wedding in Horseshoe Bay at Quail Point and every one of my guests LOVED the food and were still talking about it 2 weeks later. The staff are completely dedicated and they are truly the only reason I got anything to eat or drink that whole night. Absolutely the sweetest serving staff. I could not have asked for more either out of Leslie Lasorsa, the Manager of Crave Catering. I had no coordinator, and she is definitely one of the main reasons I didn't loose my mind completely before the wedding. She was supper responsive and had great ideas for organization and tips for me to keep everything straight with vendors and rentals.

Crave is AWESOME!!! We had 3 passed apps, deviled eggs, mini mac n cheese bites, and tomato basil soup shots with mini grilled cheese sandwiches. For dinner, we served family style, braised beef short ribs, pecan crusted chicken, scalloped potatoes and green beans. All of our guests kept telling us that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Not only was their food phenomenal, but Meredith was out of this world amazing. She was a big part of why we chose to go with Crave as our caterer. She is so efficient and knowledgeable about the special events industry and truly understands what it takes to throw a flawless event. She helped us with our menu choices, bar options and met with me at the venue to discuss the timeline and layout. She even hand drew a color coded floorplan of the venue! She took care of so much that evening, and it allowed Josh and I to be able to enjoy our wedding and not worry about a thing. Crave is a fantastic catering company and highly recommended!

In one word Crave Catering was awesome. Very impressed with the quality of the food and the service. I was at first unsure if they would be able to pull of Mexican/TexMex food but the taste just blew me away! The Texas Martinis they made were by far the best I've ever had. They were very nice, helpful, and professional. They were great about listening to a lot of the specifics of what we wanted from our food down to our silverware. Highly recommend them.

Every step of the way Crave Catering was fabulous. Leslie LaSorsa, a supervisor at Crave, is very knowledgeable and helped me select my linens, glassware and menu and handled every detail for me. She was full of helpful hints about how to have a successful event. All of the waitstaff were nice, clean and gracious. The food met and exceeded my expectations. I recieved compliments from most all of my guest that it was outstanding. Crave Catering is the way to go!

A Rave for Crave! Let me preface this review by saying I am from New York and I have a career in planning. I try not to be one of ‘those NYers’ but it’s very competitive here so as a culture we have an expectation of excellent service and product. Leslie was put to the challenge for my crazy questions, requests, changes, and everything in between and she delivered it. With champagne. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Leslie and her team, she was truly my Fairy God Mother. Planning from afar was challenge enough but it doesn’t help that I’m detailed and Type A. Leslie provided with me all sorts of visuals and then made recommendations based on her expertise. The wedding turned out to be exactly as I had dreamed and she’s the one who made it happen. The décor was beautiful, everything was done so perfectly and with such care. Her staff was incredibly helpful and friendly to everyone. So you're wondering about the food? It was absolutely fantastic (and New Yorkers can be a tough crowd to please, especially on the subject of food). Everything from the sliders, to the salad, to the tenderloin, to the cheesecake lollipops, to the made-to-order chipwhiches were absolutely superb. Our guests did nothing but rave about it.

Crave Catering is absolutely AWESOME! If you are sitting on the fence--jump down and call them IMMEDIATELY!!!! They are the easiest people to work with I have ever enjoyed working with. We told them what we basically wanted, they gave many helpful suggestions, we tasted the food and was SOLD--hook, line and sinker! EVERYONE we came in contact with at Crave Catering was pleasant, professional and ready to assist in any way. Our event was a reception after our daughters wedding in Hawaii and Crave was exception. The set up was beautiful, the servers were the best ever, and we "wanted" for nothing during our party. We ran out of one alcohol that "everyone" seemed to be drinking, so they went and picked up more after checking with me--"Who does that?" Please do not hesitate if you are in doubt. I am a very thorough person and no job was left undone! Out event went a smooth a silk........ Hint: Try their "Milk and Cookie Bar" everyone LOVED IT! LOVE CRAVE CATERING AND WILL USE THEM AGAIN!!!!!!

I loved CRAVE! They truly are the best! The best advice I can give is to pay the extra fee for the assistant. Everything went perfect for us and Leslie handled every little detail like a pro. The food was amazing. Our guests still pay us compliments on the food. The biggest decision for your wedding is picking your craterer. These guys do it all, and really allow you to enjoy the experience. As soon as our wedding was over, we were planning our next party that we could do with CRAVE!

Crave is the best. Shannon helped me through the whole process and when price became a concern, she helped me adjust my menu without cutting back on quality. They even came out to the house where I got married to look at where everything would be. Another friend of mine just got marriend in May and also used them. We are talking about using Crave for upcoming holiday parties.

Shannon from Crave Catering did a great job catering my wedding! I made several changes from the time I initially talked to her, and she was always willing help out with my needs. I would use Crave for an event in the future!

Loved working with Crave Catering and Leslie. I really felt like Leslie was attentive to all of my requests and went out of her way to make my day special. She even stayed late or went into work early to be able to talk with me in Hong Kong.

Leslie at Crave Catering helped us coordinate a luncheon this summer for my mom's small wedding with about 35 people in my home. She was so helpful with ideas and recommendations. The chef prepared us a wonderful tasting in the beginning that was actually a wonderful, meal-sized tasting. The food was delicious. The staff was so kind. Everyone at our event asked me who did the catering and raved about how wonderful it was and how beautiful the presentation was. Thank you, Leslie! I have told many people how great you were and am happy to leave this review to let people know that they can count on having a wonderful event if they employ Crave Catering. Best Wishes!

The team at Crave were fantastic - from planning the menu, helping with table and decor design, and suggesting other potential vendors. We loved the menu, and received so many compliments on the food.

We had NO wedding planner and Crave helped us so much more than just creating outstanding food for our brunch. Eveything was very well thought through and we could not have pulled this wedding off without Crave...

We are from Maryland, our daughter is in San Antonio, and we planned a wedding for Austin - in July - with three months notice. So as stressful as that seems, Crave stepped up to the plate and kept my nerves calm as issues that could have been enormous turned out to be small. They were professional, the food was excellent - our pregnant, vegetarian daughter loved it! I was not sure how planning a distance wedding would be, but I would highly recommend Crave for any event. A pleased mother of the bride!

About a month before my wedding, the original caterer I was going to use went under and I had to find a new caterer - and fast! Crave Catering stepped up to the plate and did an amazing job!! We were thrilled with how all the food came out on the day of the wedding and all of our guests said the food was excellent! Thanks for making our day perfect with all the details you helped with!

The food was very good. We received many compliments on it and on the service. The only complaint we received was that when someone set their drink down to go dance, the waiters would pick them up and toss them even if they were full. That was costly and we had to send a guest to the store to buy more beer. Other than that it was fantastic and we would use Crave again.

The crave team could not have done a better job! They made our dreams of a carnival themed wedding come to life! Their staff went above and beyond on everything. Even down to helping me with my dress for a last minute emergency bathroom break before the ceremony! They even got red and white stripped ties at their oun expense to make the feel pop! I will definitely use them again for parties and recommend them to all I my bride to be friends!

Crave did such an AMAZING job for our BIG day. When I told Leslie that I was a Bride on a Budget, she made me feel like she took it as a challenge to make it happen and never once told me that my budget was impossible, etc. I cannot tell you how many compliments my guests gave about the food---seriously, nothing but rave reviews! I was a very "hands-off" bride and really did not know what in the world I was doing. Shannon was sooo patient with me, gave me great ideas, and even went with me to pick out my linens!! I basically told her what I had in mind and she and her team took care of EVERY detail on my wedding day. SUCH A RELIEF!!! I would HIGHLY recommend Crave catering to anyone who is looking of helpful, honest and reliable people who really make you feel like your day is truly important to them!!!

My husband and I are foodies, and we LOVED having CRAVE do our wedding! Everything was amazing, and it was all handled by the most professional staff. Would love to use them again. The only issues I had were the first tasting was poor showing , but they were so great on the second one, we booked them on the spot The pricing structure seemed to change over the months, so had to catch those items They said the would make sure we had this GREAT goodie bag of food to take w/ us to eat that night ( since bride and groom are so busy) that would be sampling of everything. It was a MAJOR disappointment, when we opened it up, and there were some lame cheese and crackers- so FYI!!!! Dont count on that !
