Footers catered our wedding, they did great and we were glad to have them as part of the team. They planed the menu around our favorite foods and then they delivered them with style. Everyone was well fed and service was great. They introduced the idea of the extended cocktail hour with stations type service style that helped kept people mingling and socializing throughout the night. None of the other caterers we sampled worked with us this way to ensure the night was what we wanted. I would recommend Footers to anyone.

Footer's catered our vegan wedding, and so many guests raved about the food and the drinks. Footer's even created a cauliflower carving station for the event for some fun vegan flair! Footer's provided so much attention-to-detail and were flexible and understanding as we had to reschedule twice due to the pandemic. I highly recommend Footer's as a classy, fun, communicative catering company - especially for folks looking for impressive vegan catering!

Footers catered our corporate holiday party and I have nothing but appreciation for the team. Sarah was a dream to plan with. She was patient, friendly, quick to respond, and helpful with every request. She made the planning process quick and easy, and didn't bat at eye at our last minute asks. Paige ran the event a did a phenomenal job leading the team.
She was always available and happy to help with a smile on her face. The whole team was professional and knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure the event ran smoothly and that we were well taken care of. The food was fabulous. Selecting our menu was hard because everything sounded so delicious, and it was! The presentation was stunning, with hints of holiday decor.
We received so many compliments on how tasty and creative the menu was. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our event such a success! I would choose Footers over and over again in a heartbeat.

Any time you work with Footers, you know you are in for a treat! The food they create is always delicious, the presentation is always creative, and the staff are always top-notch professionals. They have a beautiful and spacious facility where they prep all their food and host their client tastings, Social Capitol. Their customer service is wonderful, their menu possibilities are endless and fully customizable, and the company also has a sustainability initiative that makes them a joy to work with, no matter what event you are hosting.

We were blown away by the attention to detail, professionalism, and delicious food provided by Footers for our wedding! Tabitha was amazing to work with, from choosing a menu, to the very fun tasting, to the execution of a beautiful cocktail hour, dinner service, and dance party, they truly were exceptional and I would highly recommend them for any wedding or event! Oh, and Tabitha made sure we had a quiet moment with a cocktail and apps along with a prepared dinner plate so we could actually enjoy our wedding food. This was huge for me! The staff was wonderful as was all the food. Thank you, Footers!

WONDERFUL! Footers catered our wedding and we were so pleased with the result! We asked for GF, DF, and vegan options that still had to be delicious for the masses, and they really delivered! So delicious and creative, and so many options for everyone! The staff were kind and accommodating every step of the planning process. I really can't recommend them enough!

Our coordinator, Kelsey, and the whole crew at Footer's could not have taken better care of us for our wedding reception. We had all the challenges that you can expect with the 2020 Covid rescheduling for a larger event, and they were great through all of it. After 2 years of planning, we were finally able to have our event and not only was the food fantastic, but their staff is the kindest. They took excellent care of us and were a pleasure. Use them for your event. You will NOT regret it.

Footers catered my wedding and I could not have asked for better food and service. Numerous guests came up to me to compliment the food and/or staff. Each staff member was incredibly personable and professional. Sam and Ronney knocked the menu out of the park. and that was out of a truck and on top of a mountain. True culinary talent! The planning process with Colbert was seamless.
I was able to go into the day knowing that everything would be taken care of- there is not a price tag for this feeling when you are a bride planning a wedding from another state.

Footers catered a post wedding party we held and I would highly recommend to others. We had a quick turnaround time and they were quick and efficient. They handled everything (food, booze, flowers, table rentals and decor) and it made the party so much easier for me to plan. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and accommodating and they added special touches to make our party feel individualized. They were nimble to handle changes in the weather and party planning hurdles that made our party run smoothly. I will use them again and highly recommend to others.

Footers helped make our wedding day so special! We worked with Kelsey throughout the planning process. She was wonderful about communicating clearly with us and answering any questions we had. On the day of the event, the entire staff took amazing care of us and our guests, and the food was absolutely delicious. I couldn't recommend Footers any more highly.

What great food for a wonderful Mother's Day special. Even delivered to Castle Rock. The food was wonderful and they also provided potty plant with soil, drawing paper for kids and family, bath bomb for mom and so much more. Can't express what a great company. Even called and confirmed when delivered. Highly recommend this company. Hope they can stay open.

Footer's was incredible! We worked with Katie and she did a fantastic job with both the wedding and the six months leading up to it. Footer's was with us every step of the way, from (multiple) tastings and menu selection to coordinating the furniture rentals, and setting up the day of. They made everything so easy for us and were great with making suggestions where we needed them.
We had an amazing wedding and are so pleased with our choice. We got so many compliments from our guests on how good the food was. You will not regret making Footers your wedding cater!

Footers food & their staff are beyond amazing! From the moment we went to our tasting in their warehouse all the way up to wedding day they made everything simple & stress free. Kelsey was our coordinator throughout the process and Colleen helped orchestrate everything day of, both were amazing to work with. We loved our food, wish we could. recreate the tomato jam that came with our tri-tip!
The appetizers held us over for the day & since we didn't get much of a chance to eat dinner they packaged us up huge portions of food that we got to enjoy the next day we did little desserts to go with our small cake and by far our favorite were the pumpkin spice Whoopi pies. I had to of eaten at least 10 the next day and wish we had more! 10/10 would recommend going with footers for any occasion! Xoxo

Finding Footers Catering was such a blessing! Our wedding was held in a tent outside in Northern Longmont, CO so getting hot and fresh food from a caterer was a big concern. When we found out that Footers cooks all their food on-site, versus most caterers who just re-heat the food on-site, all our concerns about them being a Denver based company evaporated.
I've been to 3 weddings now including my own that were catered by Footers and they all stand out in my mind as some of the best wedding food I've ever had. Katie was amazingly responsive and accommodating to all my requests. I planned my wedding myself and just had a day-of coordinator so Katie's help and advise were invaluable in the planning process. I really can't recommend them enough.

We worked with Footers for our wedding at the Grant Humphrey's Mansion. From start to finish, it was an absolute pleasure working with Footers. I asked for an entirely gluten free menu to accommodate myself and several of my guests and Katie was great at helping me choose a wide variety of options. Our tasting at their facility was incredible and intimate to the point where we didn't even move forward with any of the other caterers we had contacted because it was clear that Footers was at the top of their game.
Our contact Katie was constantly available by email to answer any questions we had and reached out to me frequently to make sure every detail was perfect. I'm a very detailed oriented person but there were things even I forgot that Katie remembered and helped me fix. On the day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about a damn thing and all my guests raved about how fantastic the food was.
Each and every member of their staff was kind and friendly to me and our guests and catered to our every need. Planning a wedding is a difficult undertaking but at least for me, the food and beverage part was easy as pie! Thanks again Footers!

Footers catered my daughter's wedding in July. From the minute we arrived at their facility we were impressed! A nice touch when we saw a parking spot designated for us for the taste testing. Katie is the BEST! She was informative, creative and enthusiastic. Even though we had other less expensive options we decided to go with Footers. Katie went above and beyond our expectations.
She and Footers were extraordinary and I wouldn't hesitate recommending them. So many of our guest came up to us and said it was the best food they had tasted at a wedding, which is a big endorsement of the food and service we received. This company definitely has embraced the "customer centric" philosophy.

When starting our wedding planning process, Footers Catering was recommended to us by a few different people and we now understand why. From the moment we arrived at their office/kitchen space we were greeted. like old friends and given a tour of their beautiful facility. The tasting continued to be incredible with each appetizer, main course and dessert we tried.
They even went out of their way to make us donuts to taste because we had mentioned we wanted to add those! Our expectations were set high after that amazing introduction but they exceeded our every thought with their final product. Food is not always the thing guests comment on at a wedding, but everyone I spoke to at our reception RAVED about their meal!
Not only was the food amazing, but the service was just as good. My assumption when have a plated dinner at a large wedding is that eventually, someone will have a cold meal served to them and boy was I wrong! Everyone's meals were hot and delicious! I highly recommend anyone and everyone to work with Jamie and her team at Footers!

We used Footers to cater our daughter's wedding. I can't say enough good things about our experience with all of their staff! From our initial meeting, our tasting and then the actual event, they went above and beyond to make our evening exceptional! A big shout out to Colbert, Colleen and Lewis! You're absolutely the best! Book them for your event! You can't do better!

When my fiance and I first tasted the menu, we were incredibly impressed with the quality. Somehow, months later at our wedding reception, the food was EVEN BETTER than we remembered. The staff was so lovely. and efficient, especially Brittany Burrows, who went above and beyond on everything. I am so glad the wedding was a giant success, but I also kind of want to do the whole thing over again--it was that good!

The team at Footers did a fantastic job with our wedding celebration - the food was AMAZING and the team that helped us was even BETTER. From our very first phone call, through to the night of the party, we dealt with Brittany - she was professional, fun and a real delight to work with. She made sure that they understood exactly what we were looking for and then she and the team delivered - we couldn't have been happier!
It was so nice to know that all the party details were handled so that we didn't have to worry about them and could have a fantastic time celebrating with our guests. Since the party, the compliments about the catering from our friends and family have been flooding in!

Extremely pleased with Footers Catering for our big day! We had around 150 guest and decided to do a heavy cocktail hour and plated dinner, plus mini desserts. We LOVED all of it. Katie our catering coordinator was nothing short of AMAZING. She is super friendly, funny and extremely organized. Long story short, we would use Footers Catering again any day, for any event. Thank you Footers Catering.

Fantastic food and super nice people! They catered my cousin's wedding at the Botanical Gardens and were nothing but gracious, helpful, and professional! The prepared pulled pork, beef brisket, gouda mac. and cheese, and grilled broccoli. The food was hot, tasty, and prepared to perfection. Thank you! And thank you for sneaking me a "to-go" box! :--

We were extremely lucky to have chosen Footers as our wedding caterer. Working with Jamie and the rest of the team was unbelievably easy and extremely fun, from the initial consultation, to the tasting, to the final walkthrough, to the wedding day. Our vision was executed perfectly. The feedback from our guests could not have been better (especially Footers going out of their way to accommodate an allergy at the last minute we were not aware of).
We also really appreciated Jamie and Jake bringing us a platter of appetizers from the cocktail reception while we took photos. Footers definitely went above and beyond, everyone had a smile on their face, and we are extremely grateful!

They catered a breakfast at my office downtown. Decor was super cute! and the food?! Yummy does not even cover it! Cinnamon Buns, Candied bacon, Fresh Fruit and a Monte Cristo Bread Pudding to die for! Everything was delicious and the staff was bright, cheery (*not in the annoying fake way either.) and happy to help! Great great company! Great People and Great Food! :)

We used Footers Catering for our Corporate work event. What was so great about Footers is how they took the stress out of planning an event. They have great references and people that helped to create flowers, speakers, tables, alcohol, etc. The staff could not be better- they made sure everything was perfect all night; if the sound was to low, if the give-a-ways were stocked, if our staff was getting enough food, etc. -amazing.
On top of that our clients went off about how good the food was and how great the staff was. I was very pleased by the whole experience. I will be using Footers again and I can't thank them enough for the wonderful job they did!

Footers Catering has it where it counts. Since 1981, Footers has catered countless events with great quality and service. After a visit to Footers, to see them in action, I was struck by the culture around the business. It was exceptional! It was fun! The employees, including owner Anthony Lambatos, were knowledgeable, friendly and way beyond helpful.
The facility was clean, beautiful and expansive. The "Awesomeness" room had a popcorn machine, basketball and ping pong action. And the food: uniquely delicious. From the vanilla maple glazed sweet potato fries with bacon salt to campfire bites (a great take on s'mores) to cheesecake lollipops to Dr. Pepper braised beef short rib sliders to a mac & cheese station with delicious toppings like spicy buffalo chicken nuggets, crumbled bacon, fried onions, diced tomatoes and more, the menu left me stuffed beyond capacity.
Each item was carefully prepared and the quality showed in both appearance and taste. Add in Hors d'Oeuvres of bacon wrapped dates stuffed with smoked almond and bleu cheese, some salmon and goat cheese appetizer deliciousness, and it all made for a more than impressive meal. When in need of catering services in the Denver area I will, forevermore, go to Footers Catering for all of my needs. Try them out. You'll be glad you did!

A group of us had a terrific opportunity to take the grand tour of the headquarters of Footers Catering, and I have to say, this is one well run business! The front of the house is modern and elegant (as needed to sell new clients on their services), but more impressive was their cooking and prep facility - it was spotless and set up to deliver high quality service (from apps to full course meals).
The best part was the sense that they are a true family and team. This was evident in every conversation I had with their staff members. If I ever have the need for catering, I now have a go-to company that I know will deliver!

What a fun catering company owned by the Lambatos couple! Their catch phrase is "awesome" as you can tell by their 'awesome parking spot' and 'awesome room'. They not only cater events but also host fun events @ their headquarters where they have a room called the "awesome room" that is fully equipped with popcorn machine, foozball machine, ping pong table & basketball game.
You can tell that they like to make their work environment fun & that they value a family work environment. I got to try some of their macaroni & cheese from the macaroni & cheese bar & it was scrumptious! You had options of adding buffalo chicken, green onion, tomato & bacon bits. The macaroni sauce was creamy & the elbow noodles were plump & soft.
I tried the cheesecake cake pops which were a bit runny inside but tasted better than I expected (not as sweet as regular cake pops). My favorite were the sweet potato fries because they were very well seasoned and packed with bold flavor. The sliders I tried were my least favorite but were not terrible. I appreciated that the meat inside wasn't a patty but rather a chunk of unprocessed meat. I'd love to have Footers cater a future event for me (wedding, family gatherings). I loved the macaroni and cheese station & can totally imagine that being a huge hit with my friends!
