Services
Crave's hospitality roots run deep here in Austin and Hill Country. Our small but mighty team dreamed big in 1999 when we launched our corporate catering and concierge services company during a time when the area's business scene took off running. Chef Kim Price and her brother Kirk Price discovered that they were really good at feeding hungry business people, and they loved doing it.
For the last 20 years, couples and wedding planners have asked us, "Can you really do that?" The answer is YES. We are passionate about creating authentic wedding catering experiences around details that matter to you. Our imaginative wedding menus, personalized tastings, expert event setup, reliable vendor partners and transparency we bring to every relationship are among the reasons why people choose us.
Austin has quickly become a vibrant business destination, drawing in innovative startups and tech giants. Some of the most highly regarded companies trust us to create large-scale events that reflect the message they want to share with the world. Our professional partners appreciate our ability to shape upscale events around your company's goals, keeping in mind your timing preferences, guests' dietary needs, brand vision and more.
Imagine an event that sparks conversations for years to come. Everything has its place. Whether it's at-home comfort or an elegant gala, the setting is vibrant and doused in color. And the catering-the food leaps off your plate and surprises your tongue with a stimulating blend of flavor and texture.

Crave was incredibly helpful in being able to supply a group of 150 people with a hot catered breakfast with only a week's notice. However, the delivery arrived late so we had a line of people waiting at a buffet with no food. Some of the food was cold. Some of the food was given to us in odd amounts, like 4 pans of sausage and 1 pan of bacon (which we immediately ran out of). And only 2 pans of eggs for 150 people (which we ran out of). I reached out to Aimee and Leslie after the event to inform them of these issues and never received a reply. All in all it was an incredibly stressful morning

Using Crave for our wedding was a no brainer. I have been in the event industry for almost 8 years and have worked with Crave at almost every venue in Austin over that time. I have always had my expectations exceeded, so when thinking through vendors for my own wedding, it was an obvious answer to have Crave cater! Their food is always delicious and not only do they help every step of the way, they were extreme professionals on the wedding day and took care of our every need. Working with Meredith, Aimee, and Leslie, we had such a dream team and they produced beautiful and delicious stations -

We are exceptionally blessed to have had Crave cater our wedding. They were wonderful in every way. Not only were the food options fantastic, Leslie took the time to make sure my husband and I had creative control in choosing our dinner options and gave us great advice in finalizing our menu. Meredith made our tasting so pleasant and was responsive and easy to get in contact with. We would recommend Crave to anyone who is hosting an event, you won't regret it.

I got married this past November and I still have family and friends still raving about how great our wedding food was! We worked with Sarah at Crave and she was amazing! Trent and I love pretzels and Sarah worked with us on having an amazing pretzel bar at our cocktail hour. Sarah suggested some fall cocktails that were perfect for our November wedding that also fit our personalities! We chose to do family style and it was a hit! For our main entrees, we selected Chicken Picatta Roulade and Beef Bourguignon with sides of mixed veggies and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. Crave offered a private

We recently got married at Ma Maison which only uses Crave Catering. I'm not going to lie - we were a little skeptical at first. But after our first tasting we were completely blown away, not only with the food but how professional the whole team was. Shout out to Sarah - you are superwoman! Sarah was extremely helpful with every detail from the beginning to the end. Me being a Type-A, mildly neurotic bride, she responded promptly to every email, phone call, random-ridiculous questions with such thoughtfulness and clarity. She even took us over to Marquee Rentals and setup mock table settings

We used Crave Catering for my baby shower and everything was absolutely amazing. The quality, the freshness and taste were absolutely excellent on every level. The staff was professional and super friendly. The presentation alone was stellar. Thank you for keeping everyone's taste buds happy and tummy's full. It was such a great experience and will recommend you to everyone.

SO so glad we chose Crave for our wedding!!! Leslie worked closely with us to select our menu, alcohol and linens (handled it all for us!) I can't even tell you how many guests raved about how delicious our food was. It's definitely not your typical wedding food! The staff and bartenders were gracious and on top of everything. I don't have a single complaint & feel so lucky to have found them. And have I mentioned how awesome Leslie is?!!??!

My wife and I selected our caterer very early in our engagement. So we did some online research and selected 5-6 different caterers to set up tastings with. We had a few tastings that were "okay" but nothing was really blowing our socks off. I was getting a little frustrated with the process when we went in for our tasting with Crave. Despite my frustrations at the process, I think we knew at our first bite of food that this was going to be our caterer. All of the food was really well done and was exactly what we envisioned when we thought of the food on our big day.

CRAVE is amazing and I think every bride should hire them. Before my wedding we meet with a few other companies and nothing compared to Leslie and her amazing team. Our wedding was Nov 10th 2012 and our guests are STILL talking about the Mac and Cheese we had at our wedding. Even my husband mentioned it the other day when we were eating at Lucy's Fried Chicken because he had ordered their mac and cheese and he was like "NOTHING compares to CRAVE."
I have a crazy mom who doesn't catch on to things and they were so patient and explained everything about 100 times. Which as a
