Planning a memorable event in the heart of the Rockies takes more than just a scenic view—it takes thoughtful coordination, attention to detail, and exceptional food. At Aspen Catering Company, we specialize in turning your vision into a seamless and spectacular occasion. Whether you're organizing an intimate wedding, a corporate gathering, or a private celebration, here’s how to plan the perfect catered event in Aspen:


1. Define Your Event Vision

Start by outlining the purpose and tone of your event. Is it formal or casual? Elegant or rustic? Understanding your event’s style and goals helps guide every other decision, from the menu to the decor.


2. Choose the Right Aspen Venue

Aspen offers a stunning array of venues—from mountaintop lodges and luxury homes to historic barns and art galleries. We work closely with local venues and can help you find a location that fits your aesthetic, guest count, and logistical needs.


3. Plan the Menu Around the Season

Take advantage of Aspen’s rich seasonal offerings. At Aspen Catering Company, we build menus around fresh, local ingredients—whether it’s a summer garden wedding or a cozy winter corporate retreat. Our chefs can customize menus to suit dietary preferences, themes, and tastes.


4. Consider Your Guest Experience

Think beyond the food. Consider flow, service style (buffet, plated, stations), timing, and ambiance. We help you create a cohesive experience that reflects your event’s personality and keeps guests engaged from start to finish.


5. Account for Aspen’s Altitude and Weather

Altitude and mountain weather can impact food, drinks, and guest comfort. We’ll help you adjust for these factors with the right hydration options, menu choices, and timing—especially for outdoor events.


6. Hire a Full-Service Catering Partner

Work with a catering team that does more than cook. Aspen Catering Company offers event planning assistance, staffing, rentals coordination, and vendor recommendations. We’re your behind-the-scenes partner, ensuring everything runs smoothly.


7. Communicate Clearly and Early

Stay in close contact with your caterer and vendors. Share timelines, floorplans, and special requests early in the process. Our team prides itself on transparent communication, so you can relax and enjoy your celebration.
