We could not be happier with our decision to work with Have Party Will Travel! They were wonderful to work with through the planning process, and they made our wedding dinner & reception go so smoothly. Our space was beautiful, setup and cleanup went super quickly, the food and drinks were delicious (and we got MANY compliments from friends and family), and their staff was wonderful. They were total pros and were flexible even when we had small tweaks close to our wedding. We'd absolutely hire HPWT again!

I highly recommend Have Party Will Travel for your wedding caterer! Before meeting with Tilynn in person, we corresponded through email and she was able to give me invoice estimates. Tilynn helped ease my nerves and was very patient with my indecisiveness. She and Mindy worked with our budget which I really appreciated! We ended up ordering the grilled cheese w/ tomato soup, meatballs and fruit. They gave us some vouchers for the Bridal Showcases well where we could sample the grilled cheese. The linens were probably the most difficult part for me, and Tilynn was again very patient. They went above and beyond when it came to the linens and even helped supply our tea lights and votives for the tables. Tilynn drew up some ideas of where our tables and decorations would be placed at the venue on a map, and met us there for our rehearsal. I cannot express how helpful she was in the arrangement of everything! The day of our wedding was amazing and I give most of the credit to the catering. Our lead, Trisha, was very attentive to my husband and I. She brought us water throughout the night without us asking, and they even boxed up the grilled cheese + tomato soup for us! Our guests loved the food, and it was a downer the leftovers weren't able to go to them. But it's understandable for the reason why (I'm not sure if this was the venue's policy or the catering, though). Overall, I am very pleased with Have Party Will Travel, and highly recommend the assistance of Tilynn and Mindy. Thank you again for a wonderful experience!

Wow! Selecting Have Party Will Travel for our reception was the BEST decision! Mindy and her staff were FANTASTIC to work with every step of the way! They thought of every detail...

for our event! Everything was handled professionally and created amazing results! Every aspect of the relationship was fabulous - the initial consult; the bid; the food tasting and color decisions; the ability to get us an ice sculpture; the coordination with the venue; the map of the venue; the coordination - set up, and take down of all the tables and rentals; the quick timing to get everything ready as the reception couldn't start until the public library (our venue) closed; the staff who ensured everything flowed smoothly for the evening; the coordination with the venue; the coordination with the cake; Mindy even pinned a hole in my dress before the reception began! The food was fantastic at the event (we received so many compliments)! The set up of the event was amazing! I had full confidence in everything they were doing due to the communication in the process! I was able to enjoy the event as the mother of the bride as they truly handled all of the details for the evening. If you are looking for a caterer who truly allows you to enjoy the event - you absolutely need to call HPWT!

My wife and I worked with Mindy at Have Party Will Travel to plan the dinner at our wedding. We both appreciated her quick responses to all of our questions, flexibility to accomm...

odate the dietary restrictions of our guests, and willingness to supply extra décor needs free of charge. The food was amazing but the level of service Mindy and the staff at the event provided was the real icing on the cake. We felt Have Party Will Travel was one of the few vendors we worked with that made wedding planning easier rather than more stressful. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch caterer!

There were extra touches like a buffet menu display that matched my invitation, and they added flowers at the last minute to the top of my cake for me. Overall great help!

Have party was great to work with from beginning to end. We walked into their office not sure what to expect, and we were greeted with hospitality and respect. They even saw us rig...

ht then without an appointment. We discussed a menu with them and they were very honest and accommodating to our budget. They sent us their proposal free of charge and even encouraged us to shop around before we made a decision. We did, and decided they were the best value. We served crepes at our wedding and they had chefs make them onsite at the guests request with lots of toppings and variety. They were a big hit but perhaps the greatest part of the wedding was a "mocktail" bar that served drinks also at the guests direction with whatever combination of ingredients desired. We also got our linens through Have Party and they did their best to match my color perfectly, and everything looked great. My only dissatisfaction was the "his and her" theme that was forced on the event. We thought the idea of having a "grooms drink" and a "brides drink" was cheesy and unneccesary, but it was done anyway. This could have been a miscommunication on my part, but I thought it was a little lame. But to have that be the only thing to be imperfect all night was pretty incredible. Thanks to Have Party Will Travel for a magical night!

This vendor was on the list of vendors for Red Butte Garden and I partly chose them because they were so responsive at getting back to me with information. Also they presented eve...

rything in a clear manner so I could understand where our costs were coming from. Throughout the planning stages, they were easy to work with and kept us updated on how our changes would affect the prices. We did all planning from out of state, which was not a problem at all. We ended up choosing to use china plates, buffet serving style, with 2 entrees. They were responsible also for setting up the tables and linens; when I first walked into the Orangerie where we were having dinner, I gasped at how beautiful it all looked. The staff were helpful throughout the evening, checking with me occasionally to make sure everything was proceeding as I wanted. They helped solve a couple minor issues without a second thought. (We needed a key to get into a locked room and a staff member quickly retrieved it for us.) I felt like my family and I could thoroughly enjoy the evening and they were totally on top of making sure everything went smoothly! I would highly recommend this vendor!!

Easy to work with. Great selection of food. Good price. Very accomodating to the Bride and Groom at the reception and they even packed up a box of food for us eat later.
