    Excellent Food

    Horsewood did a great job of helping us create a custom menu with three different stations. Our guests raves about the macaroni and cheese bar! Also the way Horsewood sets up stations/buffet tables is amazing! It added to the environment a lot.

    10000/10!!

    I cant rave enough about Horsewood! Not only are they super kind and easy to work with, their food is the best I've ever tasted. I wish i could eat it everyday. My personal favorites were the jalepeno bacon mac and cheese and the brussel sprouts. If you have a chance to order from them, do it!!

    Best Food There is!

    I can't tell you how many guests told me my food was the best they'd ever had at a wedding! But I already knew! Horsewood gave us a private meal sneak peak to taste our selected items and I couldn't wait to eat every drop on my wedding day. My favorites were the appetizers: IPA Nuggets and Fried Artichokes -- DIVINE!!!

    More than a Meal!

    This was a tough review to write because there are not enough adequate words to fully describe how amazing Aaron & Horsewood Catering are! I'll give it a try...amazing, delicious, perfection, robust, full-bodied, fresh, mouth-watering and so many more! The food is the #1 most talked-about part of our wedding, and we loved that! Aaron and his staff don't feed you, they present you with the best meal of your entire life with a beautiful showcase of all they can do! Our crush on Aaron started with our consultation call where he took the time to get to know us, how we met, where we're from, what we like, and even what music we listen to so he could channel us on our wedding day as he was preparing our feast! Wow! The presentation was stunning and as I said, people could not stop raving about the food. The pride and joy that Horsewood Catering puts into your event, shows in every way. I want to plan another event ASAP just so we can work with them again! Fantastic customer service and top-of-the-line quality are what you get with Horsewood Catering!

    Farm to table food

    We found Horsewood catering by word of mouth and I’m so glad we did. They brought our love story to life through food and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. The food was one of the talking points for the wedding and I’m so glad it was. I would recommend Horsewood a million times over.

    I have used Horsewood Catering multiple times a year for both business and company related events. Their food is AMAZING. Every time they have been books for an event I am had a different menu, and am completely blown away with the quality. They also set up a display for their food to be on, its so unique. For company related events Horsewood caters private dinner parties for us, full of corporate and board members, who are very hard to please. Now every time they come back into town, they tell me to make sure i book with Horsewood and no one else.

    They also have great pricing as well!

    I don't have a single bad thing to say about them!

    Horsewood Catering was amazing from the start: they asked questions and listened to our daughter and her fiancé's preferences and personalized the menu. We had a preview that was delicious and on the wedding day they delivered a fantastic and fabulous meal of multiple stations for our guests. Everyone raved about the food and presentation ! We were beyond happy and recommend Horsewood to cater any event ! Thank you Horsewood!

    I can't begin to say how amazed we are by Horsewood. We had over 20 Australian guests coming to Idaho for our wedding, so we wanted to give them a local experience they wouldn't forget. We asked Horsewood to cater for farm-to-table, rustic Idahoan fare and it was jaw-dropping. We received so many positive comments from guests- everyone raved the food! I highly recommend- just the loveliest people to work with!

    Horsewood catering is phenomenal!! They are more than just a caterer - they go above and beyond with their service. At our event they did things we didn't even expect like clearing tables, cleaning up, and even mopping the floor before they left! The food was amazing and the menus were customizable to fit just what I was looking for and in my budget. I highly recommend Horsewood Catering and their entire staff!!

    My husband and had tasted the Horsewood's food at another event they catered and knew we could trust them to give us a great wedding dinner. When we sat down to discuss our menu options, I could immediately see the culinary passion! We told them the price we were willing to pay and they came up with a few menu options that we could choose from. I could not have been more pleased with the meal! Horsewood catering provides great food served by even greater people!!

    Read before you continue

    Let me preface this with my fiancé and I never, never write reviews but wanted to share our experience...
    We decided to do our homework on caterers for our remote mountain wedding in fall 2021 and we absolutely fell in love with Horsewood Catering. The Chef/co-owner, Aaron, was very pleasant and took 30 minutes to get to know us and help create a individualized menu based off of our tastes. We asked if we could put down a deposit on our dates and he let us know that he “was our chef until we tell him otherwise” meaning he would block out our date as they don’t want people to be pressured on a deposit. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to have them as our catering company. Their sense of family and Idaho culture mirrored ours and the vibe we wanted for our intimate wedding

    Over the next few weeks we had daily correspondence to solidify a menu including appetizers, dinner, and dessert and agreed upon pricing. With everything set, they sent over a contract to be reviewed. We responded that same day asking the best way to put the deposit down and asked for a minor change to the contract (change quantity of 4 people attending the wedding). Of note, they had already signed the contract on their end stating they agreed to that date.

    The next day, we received an email (not even a phone call) informing us that they had a COVID bride in contract from 2020 deciding to change her date to ours. (Please see attached picture). After we requested a phone conversation regarding this, we asked if their Policy was to give COVID brides priority over ones already in contract and they said no - if they are in contract for a date they are not breaking it. We were floored by this response as we were clearly in contract. It was clear to us that it was strictly a business decision as they mentioned the other party had over 300 compared to our 50 people. After a disheartening conversation, they eventually admitted they were in the wrong but offered no action to correct the situation.

    While COVID has taken a clear toll on everyone and there is no rule book for how to handle things it was disappointing to experience such a double standard in their policy and breaking of our verbal and written contract. Especially when we offered to place a deposit on multiple occasion but got told there was no need. I’m sure they are a great company but I wish in this situation they would have upheld their company values that brought us to book with them to begin with. My advice to anyone that is even considering this company is to get a written contract before even discussing terms as their word clearly can be broken in the right situation.

    We decided to pay the premium price for their service because of the amazing food, exceptional presentation, and their personal touch. We signed a contract a year in advance of our wedding and I distinctly remember both Aaron and Jessie sitting there looking us in the eye and saying we owned that date. We paid extra for staff to set tables. The staff that shows up says they don’t have the people for that. 20 minutes before the ceremony begins I’m in my three piece tux setting tables and meeting some of my guests for the first time as everyone pitched in to help. The venue owner called his wife and kids to come help. There was no chalkboards, no menus, and no storyboard, all of which we paid for. We had three themed stations, a Southern station, a Mexican station and a meatball station. The chips and salsa are mixed in with the Southern station and the meatballs were under cooked. We paid for individual pork chops and instead we get thinly shaven strips of pork off a pork loaf. We paid for various pretzel sticks with a cheese dipping sauce. What we got was various pretzel sticks with the left over gravy from the Southern dish as our dipping sauce. We have pictures of what was served at the tasting compared to what was served at the wedding and you would think it was two different companies. We also paid extra for the staff to cut the pies. Once again, friends and family did that as the staff there wouldn’t. It was heard from several guests that the staff was complaining that they got stuck at this wedding while everybody else got to go to the other event! We would really like to know what happened but the problem is that neither Aaron nor Jessie will talk to us. We’ve contacted them three times and each time it’s like talking to a black hole. We asked for our money back for the extra services and half the 18% gratuity they pre-charge. A little over $600 is what we deserve back. No hard costs. Just for services we paid extra for and didn’t get and half the gratuity.
