    Great Experience

    We needed to find a vendor that offered vegan options as well as meat options and that it wasn’t basic or boring vegan options. We were also looking for a catering company that followed sustainable practices. A Spice of Life was the perfect fit for those needs as well as our budget. Kathy was so wonderful in helping us choose options that would meet our budget as well as deciding on our final menu. She was there for us every step along the way. Our tasting was fantastic and exactly what we hoped for! Our wedding day ran fairly smoothly. We decided to do a buffet for cost and it was disappointing to hear that we had run out...

    Great food

    ASPOL was wonderful for our wedding day! Delicious food, the apps, sides, main dishes and late night snacks were all amazing! The only thing was that we were supposed to have a biscuit on our late night snack and we got a different bun (still so good) but they didn't update us on this change. Otherwise 10/10 all around!

    Amazing Wedding Caterer

    WOW! Kathy and Spice of Life was great to work with from day one. We went to a tasting and everything was absolutely great. The place was clean, presentation was great, and the food was delicious. My wife and I are both students and so being on a budget for a wedding can be challenging. However, Kathy was such a help and allowed us to find a menu that we loved while staying in a relative budget range. The day of our wedding was great as Spice of Life came in and set everything up with ease and we hardly even noticed they were there. The timing of serving the courses was great and the food was a good...

    Best Fajita Bar Ever!

    We used A Spice of Life with the package we purchased through our vendor. They were so easy to work with! Our tasting was such a good expereince, they were able to customize certain items for us, and everyone enjoyed their food! It was fun and easy and we loved it all! At the end of the night they gave my husband and I a picnic basket of food for us to enjoy. Everything went perfectly and we highly recommend them!

    Delicious & Professional

    Spice did the catering for our wedding of ~175 people, and we were extremely pleased with them!! Their food of course was delicious and the menu had plenty of options.

    At the tasting, we’d thought the bacon wrapped dates were a little over cooked. Kathy was insistent on us providing feedback in a way that almost no other vendors (in any industry) do. This made it easy for us to ask them to cook this appetizer a little differently, and it was a huge hit at the wedding!

    They were not the cheapest vendor, but their price is competitive and worth a little extra for the quality, and they helped design our menu to work for...

    Best Decision We Made

    A Spice of Life was, without question, the one best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning. We were absolutely blown away by Dawn’s knowledge of our venue, the quality of both the food and service of the ASOL team and how seamless everything went because of them. From my early emails, I knew Dawn was the right choice for us. She was extremely prompt to answer emails and take phone calls. We were feeling a little stressed about two months out from our wedding and we were able to have a 2 hour in-person meeting with Dawn who walked us through every single detail from rentals to food to beverage service. On the day, the service was...

    We chose Spice of Life because they were on our venue's preferred caterer list, and because we had previously attended a wedding they catered and really liked the food. Well, we were not disappointed! I'm really happy with how responsive and easy to work with they were, and how they were willing to provide us with a customized menu that was unique, culturally specific, and delicious! Everyone loved the food at our wedding.

    Their catering service is absolutely first class! We absolutely love their service, and we didn't get one complaint from anyone eating the food. It was really worth the price and they really made us feel like we were special clients. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a quality caterer at a competitive price.

    A Spice of Life is the total package! Kari Jo was an amazing women who helped make our day perfect! They did all the catering for my wedding including linen rentals.They were quick to respond to any and all questions that I had from silly to serious in a timely fashion prior to the wedding. When another vendor had some miscommunication on the time table and we needed the linens much earlier than anticipated for the day of with only a couple weeks before the wedding they ordered them early so I could pick them up and bring them to the venue.

    The food was fantastic and I got a lot of compliments on it from our guests!...

    Spice of Life offered a variety of menu options that were affordable. The food was delicious and I got a lot of comments at the wedding that the food "didn't taste like wedding food."

    I couldn't be happier with the service we received from A Spice of Life. We worked mostly with Kari Jo and she was unbelievably professional, kind, outgoing, and helpful. The staff at our wedding were so nice and hardworking. We had some mishaps with other vendors, and the catering manager went above and beyond to work everything out and ensure we had a great and stress free time. The food was also phenomenal. It was funny how many times I heard "I can't believe how good the food was! Wedding food is normally so bad, but that was incredible!". They also provided mac and cheese for the kids and a special vegan meal for our one vegan guest. This is truly an amazing business, don't waste your time going anywhere else.

    I cannot say enough about A Spice of Life and most importanatly Kathy Vaughn. If you get married at Lionscrest Manor and use Spice you will most likely be working with Kathy. Not only was Spice a wonderful company to work with, very flexible and accommedating but Kathy was by far the best vendor we worked with. She was so nice and more than helpful. They worked wonders with our budget and the food was Amazing!
    The staff at the wedding worked incredibly quick and efficiently. Everyone was very friendly. I would highly reccomment Spica and Kathy.

    Best Day Ever!!

    Kathy, Valerie, and the whole team were such a joy to work with from the very beginning. They were accommodating, understanding, and took their time to ensure our day was perfect (which it was)!! The apps and dinner were amazing and our friends & family couldn’t stop talking about it :-)

    5/11 Wedding

    To say we were blown away by Spice of Life for our wedding this past weekend would be an understatement! From the beginning of the planning process, Amanda was responsive and so incredibly helpful. On the day of our wedding, she and her team were attentive to all our guests (and us!), thorough, and the food was AMAZING! All of our guests raved about their meals and the appetizers, which as big foodies meant a great deal to my husband and me; we couldn’t be happier!!! If you’re looking for a caterer for any event, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SOL!

    Jake and the whole Spice of Life crew were absolutely fantastic to work with. Jake gave us his personal phone number and always responded to texts and emails within seconds. Even when he was on vacation with his family, he texted me back right away. On the day of the wedding, there was a rain storm before the ceremony and all of the chairs were soaked. Even though it was not their job at all, the crew from a spice of life ran out with towels to dry off all of the seats. Jake and the crew let us use any and all decorations they had, not just for the reception, for the ceremony as well. They provided the...

    I will start by saying my husband and I had extremely low expectations when it came to caterers. We have experienced underwhelming food at most weddings and figured it was status quo for producing mass quantities. We decided to blindly choose ASOL as they were the preferred caterer at our venue (Planet Bluegrass) and couldn't have been proven more wrong about this 'status quo'. The event specialist, Dawn, was with us every step of the way in planning the wedding and responded to emails even when on vacation. The food the day-of was exceptional (in a buffet no less) and the staff were all super professional - I didn't even know they were there. On the day-of, Dawn was...

    Our venue gave us the option to choose from 4 preferred caterers, and I am soooo glad we chose Spice of Life! The food was amazing - from the fruit/cheese platter while we were getting ready to the plate of appetizers for my husband and I as we signed our marriage license to all the dinner entrees to the leftovers that were packed up for my husband and I to enjoy later in the night/the next day! I can't say enough good things about their responsiveness, professionalism, and quality especially when working with an out-of-town bride. Spice of Life also offered a military discount which my husband and I truly appreciated as it allowed us to spend more money...

    Dawn and her team were fantastic from the start. My fiance couldn't make the initial food tasting so I brought my elderly father instead. She was so sweet and kind to him. Everyone raved about the food we had for our reception. She helped us pick a menu that would appeal to everyone and even provided a vegan meal for one of my family members. It was within our budget and was high quality. Their staff was really attentive to our guests. At the end of the night, they had placed a picinic basket in the back of our car containing some of the food from our reception. What a special touch! We would highly recommend A Spice of Life!

    We owe the success of our wedding to Spice of Life catering. Dawn Meitz and her staff were on top of everything; professional, organized, helpful and the food was exceptional as well. There were many moving parts to our wedding day and everything came together flawlessly. We couldn't have done it without them and I am profoundly grateful for Dawn's flexibility, expertise and kindness through the planning process.
