Catering & Bar — Zion Springs
Catering & bar

Cooked in the house. Every meal, all weekend.

Chef Anna Tigges leads the catering team at Zion Springs. Every plate that goes out across your weekend — rehearsal night, ceremony brunch, reception, late‑night, the Sunday send‑off — comes out of our kitchen here on the property.

Not delivered. Not warmed. Cooked the morning it’s served. Three days, every meal, every guest.

The menus below are the starting point. The chef builds the actual weekend with you — allergies, family dishes, the kind of food that means something to the two of you.

On-site kitchen

A fully equipped commercial kitchen on the property. No off‑site staging, no trucks, no warming trays.

The smoker

Twelve-hour brisket runs, hickory pork ribs, smoked chicken thighs. Lit before sunrise on event days.

Wood-fired oven

For the pizza menu, for charred bread, for the things that only work at very high heat.
