Culinary Crafts

Culinary Crafts took weeks and weeks to get my proposed wedding menu together. Despite advising that our budget would provide for a very nice event, CC finally came back with a menu that cost MORE than 133% of our budget, which did NOT include beverages, cake, chef fee, maître d' fee, dessert – and of course not tip or tax. I expressed my dissatisfaction with being pushed into spending much more than originally discussed (P.S. - they'd already drafted an invoice to send me.) I received the following response, verbatim.



Thanks for you time on the phone yesterday. I spent sometime this morning discussing your proposal with my director of catering and I wanted to get back with you.



We are sorry for the miscommunication on our part with your budget and your expectations. As your menu sits, we don't have margin to decrease the price point, and switching to a buffet style we would still come in above your budget. We are the best caterer in Utah and thus are prices reflect that, and we do pay our staff well so we can provide the best service to our clients.



In the end, we may not be the best fit for this event due to budget constraints. A possible recommendation would be The Main Event, and if you would like to discuss other options feel free to give us a call.



Thanks for considering Culinary Crafts.
