Buffalo Gals Grilling Co./ Cravings 5 Star Catering/ Picnic Basket Catering Co.

Upon engaging with this vendor one of the owners decided to take us on herself instead of the usual partner. It was great until the last 4-5 weeks when I couldn't get a return phone call without multiple calls. I didn't have the opportunity to revise the rentals because she assumed I wanted what she had presented. Several other circumstances did provide me an opportunity to revise certain things that would have cut the cost down a bit. Buffalo Gals were terrific in purchasing additional alcohol during the reception and getting it there before the liquor stores closed (Sunday night). Bottom line: I think the partner that usually handles the wedding customers should of handled ours.

MANY THANKS to Picnic Basket staff (particularly Michelle T.) for helping make our special occasion memorable with an AMAZING feast that everyone raved about...... The courteous service provided, personalization, and assistance afterward was truly outstanding! We were truly fortunate to have PB be a part of our wedding day and would be happy to highly recommend your company without hesitation. -Ashley & Matt :)

Cravings Catering provided amazing food and service for my wedding reception! I loved dish that they served. Also, they were very helpful in creating a meal that fit my budget and desire for a fun, station buffet. They were very professional and experienced - definitely the place to go for wedding catering in Colorado Springs. One minor complaint: before the wedding, I did have difficulty getting responses from Cravings to my emails. So, it was initially challenging to get on the same page regarding the final menu and price. Once those details were set, the food and event service were amazing.

The two waitstaff provied for our event seemed to not really have any clue of what might be expected of them during the event. In the end, a wonderful neighbor jumped in and had to direct the servers to keep the party going by emptying dirty dishes, prompting the servers to actually start serving - collecting dirty dishes - offering to get drinks or food to our guests. Without the neighbors input we would not have had enough paper plates, forks,knives, etc.

Buffalo Gals helped to make our wedding day perfect! They were very professional and got every detail right in the set up! Very flexible and worked with us to incorporate traditional family foods that were important to us on our big day! Pleasure to work with and have as part of our special day!

Michelle and her staff at Buffalo Gals was amazing for our wedding. The food, presentation and service was outstanding. Anything we asked of the staff was promptly taken care of. The staff continually asked if we we alright or needed anything - they really seemed to care about our day being perfect. We had more than enough food and our family are BIG eaters - everyone that wanted were able to have 2nds and 3rds with leftovers going home all packaged up for us. They cut our cake and served with no cake cutting fee as other caterers charge. We had and are still getting so many compliments on the quality of the food and service. Even our liquor vendor was impressed with our menu when we were planning wine and other bar items!! The wedding day was perfect but getting ahold of someone with questions the weeks before was the only part of the experience with Buffalo Gals that I would say was bad. My phone calls and email were not returned and I had to try multiple times to get my answers. Overall I would highly recommend Buffalo Gals/Cravings Catering. Their food and event service is their strength - maybe not in their office :)

I had worked with Cravings' sister company, Buffalo Gals, for years planning company picnics. I have always found them to be affordable, delicious, and wonderful to work with. The staff at Cravings is fantastic and the food is fabulous - I received numerous compliments after the wedding and was told by almost everyone that they went back for seconds and thirds. The presentation was beautiful and they set up the reception so quickly (I had large centerpieces and a last-minute indoor wedding due to weather)! Cravings also cut my cake (from another vendor) at no additional fee/cost. My only complaint is the time it took to respond to me on numerous occasions during the planning process (I believe they had a staffing issue; one of the managers left, leaving them swamped). But Michelle Talarico (the owner) came through for me in the end with top-notch service and heavenly food. I will continue to use them whenever I can.

I can not say enough about Michelle and her staff at Cravings!!!! They truly were my savior throughout this whole wedding process! For starters I have received so many compliments on how quick and efficient her staff was on the wedding day. We had set our ceremony up outside but right before the processional began it started pouring! So we had to move everything inside. The catering staff flipped the ballroom from dinner/reception venue to a beautiful ceremony site in 12 minutes(someone timed it!) We weren�t even late getting started! But the flexibility Cravings offered started way before the actual wedding day. My husband and I live in Denver, but Cravings is based out of Colorado Springs, so all our meetings had to take place in the Springs. Since Michelle knew this would be difficult she offered to meet us late in the evenings to make it easier on us. And even had little snacks waiting for us when we arrived. I can�t list all of the wonderful extra things Cravings did for us but just to name a few: -I realized 2 days before the wedding that we were brining in an outside cake with no one to cut it! I called Michelle and with no hesitation she said they would take care of it at no extra cost. And of course they did! -I had so many little tiny things to set up, favors, signs, tags, table numbers, etc and instead of having to assign family and friends to this process the Cravings staff took care of it and made everything look beautiful! The biggest compliment I can give Cravings is that the food was so incredible and the presentation was amazing, but what makes this company worth hiring is so much more then just the food, linens, and china. It�s their outstanding customer service and the piece of mind that I had as a bride that if something slipped through the cracks, Cravings would take care of it! I�m so very thankful that we hired them and would HIGHLY recommend them to other couples!

Cravings did a great job. The food was good and the cake tasted wonderful. Cravings was included in the wedding package we purchased from Eastholme B&B, so we really didn't have to deal with them at all (other than a tasting). Overall, I was satisfied with the quality of their food for the pride.

They were so helpful, they knew everything that I would need and more. They were always available to answer questions and easy to meet with and book. It was afforadable and the food was excellent.

My husband and I were having a late wedding, and decided to order many different appetizers for 90 people. The picnic basket told us that there would be plenty of food, and would set-it up with different tiers. I was disappointed with the presentation, and the food did not last hardly at all. All in all, we spent 1200.00 on appetizers that were not worth it. I would shop around!

Cravings was wonderful! They were easy to work with and were extremely professional. They worked with other vendors to make sure set up went smooth. They made sure we didn't have to think about anything on our wedding day. The food was wonderful. Well worth the cost!!!!
