Outdoor & Colorado Mountain Wedding Catering

Colorado couples have more venue options than almost anywhere in the country, many more of which being outdoors. From mountain ranch properties and winery estates to lakeside venues and private land celebrations, Silver Spoons has catered weddings across the Front Range and into the high country.

Outdoor and remote venue catering involves logistics that don't apply to a hotel ballroom. We routinely navigate:

  • Limited or no kitchen access

    Our team comes fully equipped and self-sufficient.

  • Altitude and temperature shifts

    Menu planning accounts for how food holds and serves in Colorado's variable outdoor conditions.

  • Extended travel and setup windows

    We build additional lead time into the day-of timeline for mountain and rural venues.

  • Permits and venue-specific rules

    We coordinate directly with your venue on access, load-in, and any restrictions.

If your venue is outside Denver, Vail, Breckenridge, Estes Park, the Jefferson County foothills, or anywhere along the Front Range, please reach out directly and we'll confirm availability and discuss any venue-specific logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions About Denver Wedding Catering

  • We typically book weddings 3–12 months in advance. For peak Colorado wedding season (late spring through early fall), earlier is always better. That said, if your wedding is sooner than 3 months out, reach out directly and we'll let you know what's available.

  • Full-service wedding catering covers everything from menu planning and tastings through day-of execution. Setup, service, and cleanup! At Silver Spoons, every couple also gets a dedicated account manager and an on-site event captain who coordinates with your venue and vendor team throughout the day. Meaning there is nothing for you to manage your caterer on your wedding day.

  • Yes. We regularly cater outdoor weddings across Denver, the Front Range, and mountain venues throughout Colorado. We come fully equipped and coordinate directly with your venue on access, setup, and any site-specific logistics. If you're working with a remote or mountain property, mention that early in the consultation so we can plan accordingly.

  • Buffet gives guests flexibility and works well for larger receptions where mingling is part of the experience. It reduces formal table time and allows guests to eat at their own pace. Buffet service is also the most efficient format for a large guest count. Family-style brings large shared platters directly to each table, encouraging guests to pass dishes and serve one another, making it feel warm and communal. A popular choice for couples who want the meal to feel like a gathering rather than a restaurant experience. Because family-style needs more service staff than a buffet, the same menu costs a bit more per guest when served family-style. Plated service is the most formal option, with individual courses delivered to each guest. It's well-suited to smaller, more intimate receptions or couples who want a structured sit-down experience. Plated service requires the highest staffing ratio and the most precise timing coordination with your venue, so it carries the highest per-guest cost of the three. There's no need to worry if you're not sure which format fits your venue and guest count! That's exactly what the planning consultation is for.

  • Wedding catering pricing at Silver Spoons is structured by course and priced per guest based on your confirmed headcount. Cocktail hour runs $3–$8 per person. Main course service ranges from $35–$50 per person depending on your menu selections and service style. Every event is different, and the best way to get an accurate number is through a planning consultation where we can scope your specific event.

  • Yes. We conduct tastings as part of the planning process so you can experience your proposed menu selections before the wedding. Details on tasting format and timing are discussed during your initial consultation.

  • We don't provide bar service directly, but we work with trusted Colorado bar vendors and can provide referrals. Our beverage service covers non-alcoholic options: water, lemonade, Dazbog coffee, and assorted teas.

  • We're based in Denver and serve weddings throughout the metro area and across Colorado, including outdoor and mountain venues along the Front Range. Contact us with your venue location and we'll confirm availability and any logistics considerations.

  • Yes. Dietary accommodations, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and allergy-sensitive options are part of every menu planning conversation. We'll walk through your guest needs during the consultation and make sure every guest has something they can enjoy.

  • Start by confirming that any caterer you're considering carries liability insurance and has experience with events similar in size and format to yours. Ask for references from past weddings, and pay close attention to how they communicate during the consultation. A caterer who is organized and responsive before the wedding, is indicative of how they will be the same on the day of. Request a tasting before committing, and make sure the contract clearly spells out staffing, cancellation terms, and what's included in the base price.
