What People Are Saying

 
 

Brent and I cannot thank you enough for this weekend... Not only did you come through in the 11th hour and rescue our wedding food weeks before, but your food was AMAZING. Everyone was talking about the entrees (that chimichurri!!), as well as the incredible appetizers (those lamb empanadas!). Everything you put out was more delicious than the next. I think I'm the only bride I know who devoured every app and cleared my entree plate at her own wedding. You and your team knocked it out of the park. On top of it all, you were so wonderful to work with - so kind, helpful, and calming during a time of stress. We cannot wait to work with you in the future and tell everyone we know about how amazing you are.

“Sarah and Gourmet Cowboy did a fantastic job at hour wedding. Everyone was raving about the food, and I'm still thinking about the mini ahi tacos! Sarah was also our day of coordinator and handled the pouring rain beautifully.”

“Seriously - I don't have words to tell you how amazing Sarah and her team at GC were. Not only were we lucky enough to have the best wedding food I've literally ever had, but Sarah and her team also stepped in as my day of coordinator, helped to navigate a shut down gondola with lightning…”

 THANK YOU SO MUCH for the most amazing night - from the drinks to the passed appetizers to the delicious dinner and late night snacks and coffee martinis, everything was absolutely perfect (and we don’t use that word lightly!). You and your team did such an amazing job and I can’t thank you enough. Everything was delicious, the team was wonderful, and the timing was perfect.  

Thank you thank you thank you again and please let me know if there’s anywhere you’d like for us to leave a review! It was such a pleasure working with you. I didn’t take a ton of photos on my phone, but here are some that people sent that I thought you might enjoy :)

We just wanted to formally thank you for everything you did before and on our wedding day! From bringing us a personal snack before cocktail hour (without prompting), to bustling my dress (faster than I’m sure anyone else could have!), to the INCREDIBLE food, to the kind and thoughtful servers and bartenders. Seriously, we have gotten SO MANY COMPLIMENTS on the food AND the staff! I feel like we really had a dream team of vendors. It was such a perfect day and we have you to thank for so much of that!! We are endlessly appreciative.

“Gourmet Cowboy had such amazing food. Our wedding guests can't stop talking about the food at our wedding. Sarah from Gourmet Cowboy was super easy to work with on planning our menu.”

The Gourmet Cowboy was the perfect catering vendor for our wedding at Donovan Pavilion in Vail! Sarah helped us be creative with our "vision" and it turned out just perfectly! We had so many compliments on the food - my only regret was being too busy to fully enjoy the food myself!
