“Deb Traylor catered our daughter's wedding this summer at Shupe Homestead in Hygiene, Colorado. She was extremely easy to work with, very creative with her menu and super responsive to the bride and groom's requests. She worked well within our budget and made some great recommendations. Everything went seamlessly on the day of the wedding with Deb behind the scenes running the kitchen and staff.

The food for our particular wedding was a Mexican themed buffet with foods from a variety of regions in the country. The food was light and fresh, unlike more traditional Mexican food. Our guests raved about the food for weeks after the wedding.

Deb Traylor was classically trained in France, and has been catered for private venues and wineries. She is a very talented chef and culinary director. She has run restaurants, taught cooking classes as well as being a private chef for a very sophisticated clientele.”

“Deb was without a doubt one of the highlights of our wedding. Her food was yet another highlight. 

Deb is truly a talented chef and artist. She was very easy and pleasant to work with. She worked with us to personalize our wedding menu that incorporated our favorite foods and memories. She prioritized sustainable and affordable local ingredients which was a priority for our local Colorado wedding. She also worked with us to maximize our food quantity and quality to our budget (we got an incredible amount of high quality food for an affordable price, especially in comparison to what larger catering companies were offering). She was fantastic to work with and we ended up hiring her for other pre-wedding events because we enjoyed working with her so much.

The wedding itself was perfect and everything went smoothly. We had gorgeous passed appetizers, delicious family style veggies and sides, amazing entrees, and a mouthwatering mini pie desserts. Numerous people commented to us about how incredible the food was at our wedding. In fact, they are still bringing up the food to this day! From start to finish, working with Deb was truly spectacular and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation. Now we just need to find another event to host so that we can work with Deb more!”

“I began working with Chef Deb in February, for catering my wedding with 100 guests in October. Chef Deb came highly recommended to me from a friend, who raved about the incredible job Deb did for her wedding. Deb is extremely professional and very responsive. She offered some incredibly creative ideas for the appetizers served at the cocktail reception, the plated salads, and the main entrees. And the mashed potato bar was an all-time hit!

All of the food came out perfectly - just the right temperature and masterfully prepared. Her pie bites were the exquisite finish to an incredible meal. All of our guests are still talking about how wonderful the food was, and they want us to have another party next year, just so we can do it all again!

Deb instilled assurance and confidence every step of the way, and delivered an experience that went well beyond anything I could have hoped for. I will definitely enlist Chef Deb's help with any future catering requirements I have, and highly recommend her for any of your catering needs.”
