Fresh Wedding Food From a Utah Caterer

Have you ever wondered how caterers are able to feed hundreds of people at weddings while still keeping the food incredibly delicious? Or what about if it tastes great—but looks terrible? 

For Stefen at Wooden Horse Catering, it all comes down to the quality of his ingredients, and making everything fresh, every time. Take it from one of the best Utah wedding caterers around, the effort that gets put into your wedding day food is what makes all the difference.

Yes, it is possible to have delicious food that looks just as good!

Stefen originally started in the industry as a dishwasher, working his way up to sous chef, and eventually owning his own catering business. In all his time since, his focus has been on not only having great food that makes people excited to take the first bite, but keeping the quality of the food consistent across the board—no matter how many people he’s feeding. It’s all about having fresh wedding food.

It can look nice, but what if it doesn’t taste as good as it looks? Wooden Horse Catering solves both issues.

The Flavor in the Fresh Wedding Food

“Even though you’re producing food for thousands of people at a time, a lot of people will just kind of let the quality of the food go by the wayside. It doesn’t matter if it’s for 10 people or 2,000, that quality still needs to be there, and it all goes back to if you’re willing to put in the effort to do that.”

No frozen food, no boxed food, and no cutting corners. “We make everything fresh for all of our events, and I think that’s what sets us apart in Utah. We do our best to provide great quality events and services to our couples.” The effort—and love—that the Wooden Horse team puts into every wedding shows through in their food.

If you ever do happen to have 2,000 guests at your wedding, you want every single person to enjoy the most delicious food you can offer them! Who says you can’t still have great food when you invite that many people?

“We’re all about fresh ingredients, making things from scratch, and allowing the flavor of the food to be the star of the show.”

Tastes Great, Looks Great, From a Local Utah Wedding Caterer

The thing about the food at weddings is that it not only needs to taste good, but it needs to look just as incredible—we want all the photos to look great after all don’t we? 

“This is their day, they’ve planned for it, sometimes their whole life, and so now you have to come in and make that dream a reality for them. I want to make the food not only hot and taste good, but also look good. Because at the end of the day, a lot of people eat with their eyes.”

And one look at the food Stefen creates is a testament to that! Our eyes are eating very well whenever we see what he’s made.

A Utah Chef Who Loves His Food

You want a wedding caterer who’s not only amazing at what they do, but absolutely loves doing it too. “I personally love bringing that magic moment where you take that first bite, and you’re like, ‘Wow, this is so amazing, it’s so good.’ And to have your heart and soul put onto the plate, and have people appreciate that, and you make that connection with people, that’s what really did it for me.”

“I just became obsessed with food, and obsessed with the process, and different ingredients, and different methods of cooking.” He’s not the only one who’s obsessed with his food—you can count us as his biggest fans. We’ve eaten Wooden Horse Catering with our eyes and our mouths, and neither were disappointed.

Not only does Stefen love cooking, but he loves catering for weddings even more. “It’s been really great and very rewarding to be a part of the wedding industry.” As far as Utah Wedding Catering is concerned, Stefen’s got your back. Or rather, your taste buds.

And it’s been beyond rewarding for the wedding industry to have the Wooden Horse team be a part of it! Whether you want a plated meal, a build-your-own buffet, or a gorgeous grazing table at your wedding, or whatever your heart desires, Stefen is the one to do it. Oh, and he does cakes too.
