You did the hard part — you dreamed up the party. Now hand off the rest. A Spice of Life is Boulder's full-service social event caterer, serving Boulder and the Denver metro, and our whole job is making sure you get to be a guest at your own celebration.

Full-Service Catering for Every Milestone Moment
Birthdays and anniversaries. Celebrations of life. Graduation parties, retirements, holiday gatherings — the moments worth getting everyone together for. Whatever you are marking, we cater it across Boulder and the Denver metro, from an intimate dinner to a 200-guest celebration. And full-service means full-service: our team handles setup, service, and breakdown, so you touch nothing but your glass.
Menus Built Around Your Guests — and Every Dietary Need
Every menu is built around your event — your guests, your venue, the feeling you want in the room — not pulled from a fixed list. Dietary accommodation is real here: gluten-free menus and celiac cross-contamination protocols, so every guest at your table is taken care of. And it all looks the part — presentation that feels celebratory and intentional, planned with you through a simple consultation.
Your Named Coordinator. One Person. Total Accountability.
Every event gets one named coordinator — a single person who owns every detail, from your first planning call through the day itself. No call center, no rotating cast, no re-explaining what you want. They are there on event day too, running the logistics so you never have to. It is personal, relationship-driven service, the way catering should feel.
What Our Clients Say
The best referrals come from people who have been a guest at one of our events — which is probably how you found us. Our reviews tell the same story: they name the coordinator who made it all feel easy, they point to how dietary needs were handled without fuss, and they talk about finally getting to enjoy their own party. That is the whole point.
Committed to Boulder and to Doing It Right
We have been part of Boulder since 1987, and we cater like it. We source from Colorado producers wherever we can. We compost, we partner on food donation to keep good food out of the landfill, and we use eco-friendly serviceware at events. It is how Boulder does things, and it is how we do things. Best of Boulder Gold from 2007 to 2021 and Silver in 2022 and 2023 — recognition from the community we are part of.
