Wedding catering · Estes Park
One family, one kitchen,
your whole wedding weekend.
We are a pie shop — we do not do cake. From the cabin getting-ready breakfast to the late-night table, we come to your venue with whole pies baked that morning at altitude. Pick a tasting, choose your shortlist, and we’ll build the menu around your date, your headcount, and what is leaning out of the oven that week.

What we feed
Four moments across your weekend, all pie.
We typically feed two to four parts of the wedding weekend, and we scale to your headcount. The pies travel hot from our kitchen in insulated carriers and we finish the bake at your venue when it matters — warm fruit filling, crumb topping as standard, and lattice available by request for wedding orders, plated family-style.
Getting-ready breakfast
Hand pies, breakfast fruit pies, and a full-size savory at the cabin before the ceremony. Plates out at 9 am.
Getting-ready lunch
Two or three full-size pies cut for ten to twenty guests. We deliver by 11 am Mountain and clean up before the photos.
Rehearsal dinner
Five to eight full-size pies for the rehearsal-night table. Family-style, with the head table seated first.
Reception
A head-table whole pie, a tray of full-size fruit pies for the late-night table, and a porch box for after.
A You Need Pie! wedding weekend
A whole-day pie shop, in the family’s hands.
Most of our couples pair a morning getting-ready breakfast with a head-table whole pie and a tray of full-size fruit pies for the late-night table. We bring it hot, we serve it, and we take the dishes home.
Baked that morning at 7,500 feet, on your table by lunch.
Every pie in your catering order comes off the bake room the morning of the event. We rent insulated carriers for transport, and we reheat the full-size pies on your venue’s oven when the room needs a hand. The crust at altitude sets differently than it does at sea level — we’ve tested it.
- The house signature available for wedding menus
- Insulated transport for whole pies, every event
- Family-style plating, head table first
- All pie, no cake — pies cover the whole weekend
