Testimonials
Booking FFT quite literally MADE our wedding, and we are incredibly happy for booking & trusting them with our vision!!! Our family style dinner was a top-complimented element of our night, thanks to FFT’s commitment to local/organic, DELICIOUS, perfectly-plated and presented food and non-stop service. Bader and his team really listened to my vision for having sophisticated yet soul-warming food, craft cocktails, and a high level of service for a seamless guests experience – all of which FFT over-delivered on, making it feel 5-star. I’m talking no lines at the bar, everyone well fed and attended to through the many hours of our event. Bader and his staff even went the extra mile of hand-delivering drinks to the bridal party, saving late-night to-go plates for bride and groom, and so much more. As someone who planned their own wedding, I needed lots of pro-level guidance, and Bader and his team at FFT were there every step of the way. I would highly recommend you book FFT for your event before they get busy, as they are in demand for a good reason!

Bader’s team’s attention to detail in presentation, timing, in addition to an elevated culinary experience was second to none. We could not have been happier with the outcome of the cuisine and the entire FFT staff working so well together with our guests and vendors. The small details positively surprised us throughout the experience. The staff’s attention to my wife’s and I’s needs, as well as our guests, made us feel like more than a client but a valued member of the FFT business. I hope that in the future, as my wife and I find opportunities to celebrate, we can include FFT in our plans.

100000/10!!! Bader with Food for Thought was truly one of the MVPs of our wedding weekend. From the moment we started planning, he went above and beyond—thoughtful, creative, and worked seamlessly with our team, which is exactly what every bride needs.
Thursday before the wedding, he kicked things off by catering our welcome party for 200 with a light dinner and the most delicious passed hors d’oeuvres. The highlight may have been his signature custom ranch waters—he took our personalized Topo Chico bottles, refilled them with his homemade ranch water recipe. It was such a memorable touch and idea that I had and he took it and made it happen. He also crafted a custom drink from a menu I love so much, using his own housemade recipe as well — every detail was intentional, fresh, and elevated!
The next day, he seamlessly delivered packed lunches for 25 guys heading out to fly fish on the river. The food was fresh and the guys loved it — delivered very early 45 minutes from his office after the large gathering the night before.
Then for the wedding day — that morning, he dropped off the most beautiful spread for the girls getting ready: sandwiches, wraps, cheeses, fruit — all fresh, artfully displayed, and with zero disruption. It was everything we needed without us having to lift a finger.
And then, the main event. Bader handled food and bar for our 350-person wedding and completely NAILED it. He started the evening by lining the entracne with servers offering lemonade, water, and champagne as they headed to be seated for the ceremony. Signature cocktails with edible flowers, incredible passed apps, a well-staffed bar, and a seamless dinner service that felt effortless and looked stunning. I mean stunning. The service was above and beyond. One of my most favorite things about Bader is that in the midst of the chaos he took the time to bring me one of each passed apps and each of the specialty cocktails to try while I was in the bridal suite getting ready for the reception during cocktail hour — super special and personal. We had a spicy reposado marg, a huckleberry mule, and an old fashion that were made again with his homemade favorings. Not to even mention how everyone raved over the food. It was served on time so it was hot and delicious!
Every single item was homemade, thoughtfully crafted, and delicious. He took every request and made it happen!! Bader doesn’t just cater — he creates an experience. I cannot recommend Food for Thought enough. He made our weekend unforgettable.
