    Kind and Transparent

    HPWT was great to work with for our wedding. I worked mostly with Mindy who gave us a clear timeline for when things need to be picked out and planned and help us stay on track. She was very flexible in working within our budget and transparent on costs. We’re still getting compliments on our food, when our wedding was months ago.

    Hi Emma,
    Thank you for the nice review. It was a pleasure working with both of you. I wish you the best!

    Hire hpwt!

    Have Party Will Travel catered our wedding and did a phenomenal job! Abby and the HPWT team was so helpful during the planning process and answered so many of our questions quickly and offered great advice. We loved the décor options and the service was top notch! We have multiple guests comment on how friendly the bartenders were. Abby was on top of all the details and reminded us of upcoming deadlines and decisions - she attended our walkthrough at the venue and made sure everything was set up and ready to go. We would highly recommend HPWT!

    I wouldn't use anyone else

    This is our second time using Have Party Will Travel. We first used them for our daughter's wedding. She wanted fun, different food for her reception. We struggled to get other caterers to catch the vision. HPWT got it exactly right and was half the price of some the bids we got from other caterers. So when we planned a Harry Potter party and wanted Toad in the Hole, meat pie and sticky toffee pudding, we called HPWT. Once again, they were amazing. Mindy worked with me until we got exactly what I wanted. The staff showed up on time, the serving table looked great and they were such nice people to interact with on what could have been a stressful day. Another reason I used HPWT again is that you can choose a venue that only has a sink and they will just show up with the food in their truck. I would not use anyone else.

    Excellence

    I never write reviews, but I felt it necessary with this event. I hired Have Party Will Travel for a corporate event in Park City at the Olympic Park and the food was exceptional! The service was extraordinary!! My meeting was perfect and I couldn’t have done it without Have Party Will Travel!
    If I could give them 10 stars I would! Very impressed with them!

    Amazing Staff, Food, and Service!

    Have Party Will Travel did an amazing job with my daughter's wedding! The prep meeting with Tilynn was so helpful and informative at the venue, with table, seating, buffet, and layout suggestions ready. Their whole staff was incredibly helpful on the day of. They were all friendly, the food was delicious (we had salsa bar and enchiladas), and they were so wonderful with working within my budget. I can't recommend them enough!

    We can't recommend them enough!!!

    We can't recommend Have Party Will Travel enough. They had all the food, chinaware, and linens ready to go perfectly on time, even though we had a morning wedding at Red Butte Garden and the university traffic was especially bad. The staff was so friendly and professional, they seemed to celebrate the day with us, even though I know they do hundreds of weddings. The staff even gave us cute marriage advice as we were leaving and they were cleaning up after the luncheon. :) The food was amazing and beautifully displayed. Our event specialist Mindy was so easy to get ahold of in the months and weeks prior to the big day and even did a site visit with us ahead of time to make sure she knew the exact layout we wanted. I could go on and on... Basically, they will do an amazingly professional job and help you with all the details you forget or don't even realize you need. (For example, she caught a food allergy item last minute that I hadn't even thought about which allowed all our guests to eat all the food.) 5+ stars from us.

    Have Party Will Travel's reply:

    Hi Christeen, It was a pleasure working with you and Ryan. All of us here at Have Party Will Travel wish you two a life time of happiness.

    Great all-around experience

    Tiylynn at HPWT was amazing! She was immediately responsive and continued to be during the three months we worked together. She was flexible and calm which is a great quality when working on a high-stress event. Great food, and service and all-around experience.

    Best value, exactly what we asked for and a crowd pleaser

    Our daughter wanted empanadas and pie as the menu for her reception. We also had a venue without a kitchen, so I had to really hunt for a caterer! I contacted different caterers to see who could work with us and pricing. Have Party Will Travel was the cheapest BY FAR. I was glad to hear that, but also worried that maybe the quality of their food was reflected in the lower pricing. First of all, they did not usually have empanadas but the chef made some for us to taste, and even included a very specific type of empanada our daughter asked for. I was so nervous for the tasting, but I was so excited by the end! The pie was amazing. The empanadas were amazing. I cannot say enough about how great Tilynn was to work with. I must have asked her 4 times to give me different bides and she was so prompt in her response and so polite. The night of the reception, their team showed up and set everything out and it looked beautiful. Their team was incredible. So polite. So great the entire evening. People LOVED the food....they added a salad to the menu and it had rave reviews from the guests. People loved it all so much they went back for seconds! The staff was so worried the wedding party would not get food that they set some aside for us. They were really the nicest people to work with. Don't go with the more expensive caterers! Have Party Will Travel did EXACTLY what we wanted at literally half the price. Tilynn is amazing to work with! Thank you HPWT!!

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review! The chef had a good time getting creative with your custom menu. We loved working with you!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    I cannot say enough about HPWT, if you need a caterer, please hire them. Their motto alone speaks for itself. I mostly worked with Mindy and she is the ABSOLUTE best, she is organized, very responsive, and I felt like she cared about my big day just as much as my mom did. They are very professional, their food is delicious (got so many compliments at and after the wedding), and they are very friendly and will work with you to make sure that you are happy and love everything about your big day. Hiring them was one of the best decisions I made. I'm kind of sad my wedding is over and I don't get to talk with Mindy anymore. I feel like I made friends at HPWT and I will miss working with them.

    Have Party Will Travel's reply:

    Hi Mandy, Thank you for the wonderful review. My favorite part of my job is meeting great people like you and your mom. I wouldn't complain if you stopped by to see me sometime. I would love to know how your life is going and what great traveling adventures you and Dax have been on. All of us here at HPWT wish you the best in your new life together.

    Have Party Will Travel catered my daughters wedding and all I can say is they are AMAZING all around! Mindy Myers and her staff were professional and friendly and helped make the evening perfect! This was our first wedding and Mindy helped us figure out what would work with our venue and catered it around the wishes of the bride and groom! They arrived right on time, set up was very appealing to the eye and the food was so good people are still talking about it! I would highly recommend them!!

    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!

    100% Recommend!

    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!

    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 accommodate 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!

    HPWT was absolutely wonderful to work with. We hired them to cater my son's rehearsal dinner. The staff was polished and professional. The tables they set were beautiful and the food was amazing. We appreciated how all our stress as a family was completely removed once HPWT arrived. They took care of everything and we were able to enjoy visiting with family and friends.
    Another thing that was so impressive was that the dinner started at least an hour later than we had planned and the food was still delicious! We will certainly use HPWT again and would highly recommend their services to anyone.
    Thanks for everything!!

    We LOVED the Have Party Will Travel catering company! Their thoughtful planners added creativity and elegance to our event. Our party was a great success because of them and our guests enjoyed not only exquisite food, but also beautiful decor. We can't wait to set up our next event with the Have Party Will Travel company.

    Just wanted to end this 'super great' evening by sending y'all an email with our thanks and appreciation for a "most wonderful" event. We totally enjoyed all the food and how beautiful the presentation was.

    HPWT had great ideas of what to serve: the smores bar was very well received (many good comments!); the pasta salad was delicious;, the fruit bowl was yummy; the vegetables looked so attractive; the chicken is was a hit; the braised beef was really tasty. We all felt that it was a well rounded and delightful variety of food. Please express our thanks to all those who prepared the food.

    HPWT has marvelous people working for the company: they are always so
    thoughtful, happy and attentive...they take care of everything; they are
    always right on top of the events and are watchful over all the details.

    Our family feels so blessed to work with HPWT and to have the continued
    personal excellent treatment at all the many events we've had over the past few years. We look forward to more great times with you in the future.

    Kim was great at answering all of my questions promptly. She worked with me to get the reception layout I wanted, and made sure the setup was exactly what I envisioned. The staff on the day of my wedding was polite and asked me several times if they could get me food or water while I stood in line :-) . The tablecloths looked great, and my guests commented on how they really liked the food. I also like how Have Party Will Travel offers complimentary tasting events every month so that you can get an idea of what to include in your menu.

    I am extremely satisfied with the service we received from 'Have Party will Travel.' They were so flexible with us. The staff was perfect and went above and beyond! I have no words to express my gratitude. The wedding turned out perfect and a lot had to do how they handle things for us.
    I planned my sister's wedding and 'Have Party will travel' did not just took care of our catering but also the decor. I will have to admit, you get a lot of value for your money. Their decor package was the talk of our wedding. The mason jars drinks were a hit!
    They also were very flexible with us.
    And their motto its true to its wording. Just invite the guests and tell them what you want and they will do it.
    Thank you 'Have Party will Travel.'

    Fabulous Caterers!

    I absolutely loved working with our HPWT for my daughter's wedding gathering! Mindy and Abby were so fantastic--all of the planning before the event was seamless and thorough, and I felt such confidence in their expertise through the entire process. Their pricing was reasonable, and they went out of their way to make sure I was getting the details I needed. And the food was fantastic! We are still getting raves from the guests about how much they loved the food. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat!

    HPWT is great and managing all the tiny details for a wedding. We got decor, linens, and food and everything was wonderful. Clear communication and minimal stress! Can’t recommend them enough
