We absolutely loved both the service and the food. People are still mentioning to us how impressed they were with the taco bar! The staff were very attentive to our needs.
I can’t say enough about A Thyme Savor!! Guests have not stopped raving about the food at our wedding (6/14/24) and my only complaint is that we don’t live close enough to go to the restaurant for more! Lisa and Lindsey were very helpful and informative leading up to the day, and the staff on the day of was phenomenal. There was not a single food item that we didn’t like. We also did their DIY bar option which allowed us to bring the certain drinks we wanted. The bar tender was fun and had a smile on his face the whole night. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Thyme Savor is AMAZING! Our wedding day (5/2/24) food exceeded expectations! Liz was great to work with. She was so helpful from start to finish. Especially when setting up our tasting, which we are from out of state and she made it easy to find a date and get us in when we were in town. Day of food again AMAZING.. our guests were raving about how amazing the food was right after. We went with family style and everyone really enjoyed that as well. Highly recommend choosing A Thyme Savor for your big day!
DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THYME SAVOR CATERING! Thyme Savor catered our wedding on October 28, 2023, and everything was truly out of this world. The food was perfect, so delicious! The service was amazing. Our guests raved about the food for WEEKS following the wedding. I cannot thank them enough for helping our wedding dreams come true. Liz is absolutely amazing. There is no other person I would trust with my catering needs. She was so responsive, answered all my questions, and offered assistance whenever I needed it. She made the process so incredibly easy. There is no other choice but Thyme Savor, so if you can book them, DO IT. I just need to have another event so I can have them cater for me again!
My wedding is about a year away but I had to write this review early. My fiancé, mother and I were welcomed by Liz and her team a few weeks ago for our tasting and it was nothing short of phenomenal. The food was beyond amazing and we still discuss it daily. We have raves about this to our friends and family but I wanted to post this online for others. This is by far the thing I am most excited about for our big day. Liz has been absolutely wonderful to work and we cannot wait for the actual wedding. If you’re considering A Thyme Savor, do it.
UPDATE: we had our wedding! Our guests could not stop raving about the food. This is the best wedding food we've ever had. The staff was even better. I would recommend A Thyme Savor time and time again!
Delectable food, punctual service, and highly communicative folks. The chef is a genius. Everything we ate had a unique and charming flavor profile. Our POC at Thyme Savor, Liz, gave us quick responses and helped us create the perfect menu for our guests. She’s a gem and a great representation of how well the whole organization runs.
On the day of the wedding, our guests were blown away with the whole experience, from cocktail hour snacks to kahlua pound cake bites. The event staff had bright smiles and were endlessly patient with us. We truly enjoyed every little thing. Thank you!
A Thyme Savor helped to make our wedding dream at Wrightsville Manor come true! The food was delicious, fresh, and highly-complimented by all our guests. Liz was wonderful from the moment we emailed with questions, to the tasting and all that followed - she worked with us to create a menu that would work with our budget, but also still include our favorites. The value was excellent. Our guests couldn’t get enough of the appetizers especially the chicken & waffles and the kids loved the macaroni & cheese bar! The staff was gracious, warm, and attentive. Thanks so much again for a wonderful and memorable evening!
Thyme Savor did a fantastic job with our wedding catering! The food was incredible, and there was a great variety of options to fit all our food accommodations. Everyone loved it! We were so happy with the taste & quality as well as the beautiful displays. A
They were also professional and easy to work with-Liz was super sweet and great with communication. This was such a wonderful experience!
Liz and team did an amazing job! Food was fantastic and service was fast!! We received so many compliments on all of the food, some commenting that it was the best wedding food that they have ever had! We had the southern apps-highly recommend, we were most excited about the apps and they did not disappoint, delicious! We had a plated meal, everything was really good but we got the most compliments on the chicken-guests couldn’t believe how good it was! We also did dessert and had people going back for more! Definitely recommend the coffee toffee crunch and banana pudding parfaits and the donut holes! Food was very important to us and our expectations were far exceeded! Thanks for making our day special!
When Dylan and I think back to our favorite meal of 2022, it’s our cater tasting at a Thyme Savor. And now our favorite meal ever…our wedding! The food was so great. We did a plated salad, when a buffet and it was perfect. The plated salad really really elevated the normal buffet experience. Our beef tender was the star of the show. Can you say perfect? I would pick them again. They were great and very responsive.
I'm pretty sure people were more excited about the food than my husband and me. I got so many compliments that it didn't taste like "normal catering food". Everyone absolutely loved it. The day of team was incredibly attentive not only to me, but to all of our guests. I've received so many compliments about the folks who worked that way. The planning and coordinating process was easy with Thyme Savor, and they communicated so well. I would honestly use them again for absolutely any catering needs.
When planning our wedding, my husband and I knew that we wanted to focus most of our planning time and budget on things that directly affect the guest experience, and food is a big part of that. We were given a list of five approved caterers from our venue and after looking at the menu options for each, we were sold on A Thyme Savor. We reached out to them, and spoke with Liz who has been so easy and great to work with. We had a tasting at their cafe about one year out from our wedding and the food was INCREDIBLE. We were looking for a caterer with some seafood options and saw they had crab cakes (my husband’s favorite food), which we had to try because they can be hit or miss. They were a hit! The beef tender was also phenomenal. To this day I still have guests raving about their cheesy au gratin potatoes. Some other options we went with that you should absolutely NOT pass up are their chicken and waffle skewers, grilled peach bruschetta crostinis, arugula and pear salad, sweet bourbon candied carrots, and their parmesan and lemon grilled brussel sprouts. Their execution on the day of was amazing and I’m so glad we went with A Thyme Savor on our wedding day.
Liz is amazing! Catering was our most important detail for our wedding and a Thyme Savor knocked it out of the park. The fried chicken with bourbon peach sauce, the beef tender, Mac & cheese, down to the salad dressing - it was all next level. The service was fantastic and our guests raved about it all. When in doubt, get the appetizers and DIY bar service too. The shrimp & grits, bbq mason jars and the candied bacon made our happy hour memorable. Thanks to the entire team, 10/10 would work with them again!
We had the pleasure of having a Thyme Savor cater our brunch wedding. Since we weren't having the typical dance party wedding, the food and bar was highly important to us and they did not disappoint! Pricing was reasonable for both and of professional quality. The staff at the event was also amazing and we have heard multiple comments from our guests saying how polite and helpful everyone was...and, of course, how delicious and unique the food was! Special shout out to Liz who we dealt with leading up to the wedding- she handled my exorbitant amount of emails with such patience and made each small detail happen for us. I absolutely recommend them to cater your wedding or any event. THANK YOU to all of you at A Thyme Savor! You really helped make our wedding exactly what we wanted it to be and we are so grateful!
I can't say enough about how great the food was! I was nervous because I live out of town and I couldn't try their food before
I hired them, but I couldn't have found a better caterer! There were no problems, and the guests loved the food. One of my guests had been to 5 other weddings this year and said that we had the best food.!
Cannot say enough good things about Liz and her team at Thyme Savor! Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was at our wedding. On top of that the service was excellent! They made sure to take care of the wedding party and family during photos while also attending to our guests enjoying cocktail hour. We did food stations around the corners of our venue which was a little unique and Thyme Savor still knocked it out of the park! The carving station, shrimp and grits, and scallops were particularly huge hits with everyone. We will be going to them for any future catered events!
Planning a destination wedding from out of town can often be difficult. Not so in this case. A Thyme Savor catered my daughter’s wedding on Topsail Island on September 18th. Not only was the food everything we had hoped for, the service provided went beyond our expectations. The bartender, Muk, was exceptional. What our family was most impressed with, however, was just how far above and beyond the catering team went that night.
My 89-year old mother fell as she was leaving the celebration that evening. Muk brought us towels, ice, water and called 911 for us as we were tending to my mother. This incredible catering team also assisted in clean-up efforts that went far beyond their job descriptions.
We are incredibly grateful to have selected A Thyme Savor for our caterers. The food, service, planning and, most importantly, the compassion of their employees are exceptional.
Phenomenal, incredible, amazing food and service
We just got married on September 10, and from day one I always said great food was my priority. I did not want the typical "wedding food" of bland baked potato, a piece of dry chicken and some string beans. Last year around October we had scheduled a tasting with Thyme Savor that wouldn't take place until after the New Year because of how busy they were and us not able to line up our schedules with them. One day we got a phone call from Liz telling us she didn't want to pressure us but another couple was insterested in hiring them for our date so she was giving me the courtesy heads up. We knew that if we didn't book them the date would open up and we would potentially lose them, so we read dozens of reviews online and ultimately decided to sign a contract blindly. Thank God we did! At our tasting everything was so delicious we had a hard time choosing between different options. At our wedding this past weekend, EVERYONE raved about our food! I was even pleasantly surprised to hear that some of the pickiest eaters in my family had gone back for seconds! We had so much left over from last minute cancellations but I wasn't even mad because it allowed us to have more of that yummy food over the next few days. We ordered the Island Thyme buffet (everything was amazing), 5 different appetizers (who could pick just 3?) AND their Venetian dessert display. Brownies, cookies, parfaits, cannolis! I promise you, YOU WILL NOT REGRET! If you find yourself in a situation like ours, having to decide on the spur of a moment DO IT! A Thyme Savor delivered the amazing food I wanted and I am so thankful they have a restaurant in town that we can visit on our anniversary or for special date nights. Also their staff was incredible, professional and so easy to work with. 10/10 recommend
We had Thyme Savor cater our wedding on Bald Head Island. The coordinator was extremely responsive and flexible during the planning process and on the day of the wedding, the staff was professional and attentive. The food was absolutely incredible—above and beyond what we anticipated. Would highly recommend a Thyme Savor—10/10 on all fronts!
Wow! Talk about some amazing catering and food from A Thyme Savor! ATS blew us out of the water with their impeccable food. Nothing compares to the food they made for us for both our catered sit-down rehearsal dinner and our stations at our wedding reception. The food was to die for and left us and all our guests talking about it and craving it. ATS had so much to offer and all of it was fresh, unique, delicious, and beautifully plated. The staff was great to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process. They were professional, friendly, and patient and we could not be more thankful. We highly recommend A Thyme Savor to anyone hosting an event - they will not disappoint! We will be using them again for sure!!
We booked a Thyme Savor for our wedding on 5.21.21 and my goodness, did they crush it! The guests adored the cute mini martini glasses of shrimp and grits and the mini mason jars of BBQ, coleslaw and cornbread! I mean, honestly, who doesn't LOVE tiny things that taste delicious?! We also served fried mac and cheese bites, caprese kabobs and chicken crostini for the cocktail hour.
For dinner, we chose the amazing stations option including Prime Rib, Little Italy Pasta station and the Chicken Madeira. Everything was delicious and beautifully displayed! All the guests are still raving about how great everything was that was served!
Liz was such a sweetheart to work with also! She and her awesome crew went above and beyond to impress her clients and their guests! Thank you for feeding and wowing our favorite (and hungry) people!! :)
A Thyme Savor catered our small, 14 person wedding. From my first email outreach to them, they were precessional, responsive, and helped us put together a great menu. The week before they went above and beyond to ensure that both their staff and our family was safe and taking the highest precautions against COVID. They were able to block off the kitchen, everyone wore masks the entire time, and sanitized before, after, and during.
The service was so great, I almost forgot to mention how delicious the food was!!!!! My family is still raving about the lobster, mac and cheese, chicken and waffles, and more! Thank you for helping us with (mini) the wedding of our dreams!
Amazing food! Wonderful staff. The BBQ, with slaw and cornbread is amazing!
Easy to work with and know their stuff! They took great care of us. They have helped us navigate wedding planning and rescheduling through a pandemic
We booked Thyme Savor as a recommendation of our wedding planner Amy Frazier from "Do Me a Favor." We had tried some of the local ones that we felt were in our price range, but Amy kept insisting that Thyme Savor could construct the perfect wedding in our budget and that it would be worth our time to check it out. We wet up a date to meet with Liz who let us sample their delicious food. Amy was right!! She worked carefully with us constructing the perfect menu for our wedding. I would highly recommend the shrimp and grits appetizer, and I can't even begin to say how the guests raved over the candied bacon. We chose a buffet including both steak and southern fried chicken. Not only were they scrumptious, but the sides were tantalizing as well. We couldn't be happier. Don't look at the pricing and think, "well that's expensive." Give Liz a chance, she can adjust the menu to make it fit your budget. We have even visited her new restaurant that opened last spring, since the wedding. The food is top notch and the atmosphere friendly and accommodating.
Thyme Savor is AMAZING! During our planning process we tasted with a few caterers and ended with Thyme Savor and we were immediately sold. They blow every other caterer out of the park. Liz was amazing to work with and very accommodating. She was always there to answer our questions and helped us make our food choices perfect for our big day. The food is the best we have ever had. The guests were talking about it all night. All of their workers on our wedding day were very accommodating and respectful towards our guests. You won't go wrong with booking them for your wedding day!!
We are SO thankful we chose Thyme Savor Catering for our wedding. We had our Rehearsal Dinner, Wedding Reception and a Morning-After brunch through Thyme Savor and EVERYTHING was incredible. We had SO many compliments on the food and their service. All the prepping and planning prior to our wedding weekend went smoothly. They had great communication about every detail so we knew exactly what we were getting. You can tell they truly care about their clients. If you don't pick them for your event, you're missing out!
Thyme Savor was an absolute dream to work with when planning our wedding last month. Not only was Liz extremely professional but she was also quick to respond to any question or concern I had. I cannot imagine ever working with another catering company, Thyme sure did spoil us... the food was out of this world and even the catering staff treated everyone special. I'm still constantly hearing from friends and family how they have never enjoyed the food at a wedding as much as they did at ours, and we owe that to the Thyme Savor team. They are such a great mix fresh food with southern hospitality!
Liz with A Thyme Savor Catering was wonderful to work with from squeezing us in for a tasting through the reception. They went above and beyond with everything from the delicious food to the serving trays matching our decor. Truly picture perfect. On top of that all of that our guests raved about the food and the cocktail pairings, definitely a must have!
I highly recommend "A Thyme Savor" catering. They are extremely communicative, professional, and they make delicious food. I worked with Liz the months leading up to the big day, she was incredibly responsive via phone and email and always answered all of the unknowns. She prepared a wedding menu that fulfilled everything we wanted and fit in our budget. A few weeks prior to the wedding, we reviewed our contract and she decided that we had a few more servers than we needed, took them off the schedule, thus reducing the price. I truly appreciated her diligence! Day of coordinating with Thyme Savor was a breeze. The catering team arrived on-time, had all the food and drink prepared and presented at the proper time, and the entire set-up was breathtaking. On top of that, the food was absolutely delicious - I still have guests telling me how good it was and my sister claims it was the best chicken fajita she has ever had! We could not be happier that we were able to work with this company - they made the months leading up the wedding easy and made the day-of absolutely perfect. If you are looking for catering services in the Wilmington / Oak Island area, check out A Thyme Savor - you won't be disappointed.
A Thyme Savor was awesome to work with and they made our wedding that much better. When planning my wedding, I had to change my date a few different times and this catering company was very flexible. During our tasting, I was very specific in the types of foods I wanted for our guests and they nailed it. Not only is their customer service exceptional but their food is AMAZING. We are so happy we went with A Thyme Savor for our wedding and will use them for any future events.
What a truly wonderful rehearsal and wedding experience! John and Elisha were wonderful Friday night and received ovation from dinner attendees. The experience Saturday night at Atrium was equally as amazing. That is a difficult venue for a caterer; staff has to almost run all night long with the logistics yet again, John and staff were incredible. Food was delicious and received so many compliments. You truly have a very special catering enterprise.
We planned our Emerald Isle wedding from Louisiana, so most of our planning and research was done over the phone or online. Our wedding planner and coordinator recommended A Thyme Savor. I looked into their services and menu and after doing a tasting with them, we knew we had to book them. They made us feel very comfortable with the fact that we were not going to be able to be on location until the day before the wedding. They took care of everything that was needed and it all turned out wonderfully. The food was FANTASTIC! We set up a family style dinner with Deep south chicken and the beef tender. Both were made with creative touches and our guests were very pleased! We also did Hors D'oeuvres for our cocktail hour which included my FAVORITE Mac & cheese bites! The team was great! Very attentive and professional. The only issue we had was that the night got unexpectedly chilly during dinner, so having a family style dinner made keeping the food warm a little difficult. Of course, this was not the fault of the caterer, and the servers were very good about trying to time the food being set out to prevent it cooling down too much. I only mention it so any brides will keep that in mind when planning their set up. I would recommend A Thyme Savor Catering to any bride and groom! They were great!
Jeff and Danielle have an amazing team of people that made our wedding day amazing!!! They made the wedding process so easy from selecting the food (which everything they make is delicious) to ordering all of our linens/dinnerware. Any questions I had, they answered or even took it upon themselves to complete. We received so many compliments on the food! So much, they wanted the recipe for the salad dressing :) I just want to thank them so much for being a part of our wedding and making it that much more successful! The staff and bartenders were superb! If you are looking for great food and great service for your wedding day, you cannot go wrong with A Thyme Savor!
I can't not say enough about the amazing staff that catered our event, or the incredible and delicious quality of our food! People would not stop talking about much they loved the slider stations and Mac n' Cheese bar! You can't go wrong with anything you choose for your big event. Doing a destination wedding, and not being able to do a taste test, made us a little nervous. But they knocked if out of the park!
We are extremely happy that we chose Thyme Savor Catering to cater our recent wedding! From the beginning, our experience started so well dealing with Liz. She was pleasant, accommodating, and quick to respond. Then when it came to our wedding day, the food was as delicious as it was during our tasting! So many of our guests raved to us about how much they enjoyed the food. It was very flavorful and the salmon and steaks were cooked to the perfect temperature as we requested. Not only was the food delicious, but the servers and bartenders were so great! They were very attentive and so proactively helping with everything! Just great all around! Thank you Thyme Savor! -Marta & Adam
I cannot say enough good things about our experience with A Thyme Savor-- across the board, best wedding food anyone has ever had. My mother law is a pescatarian with a number of dietary restrictions, while my father is emphatically pro-meat. Liz worked closely with our family to select a menu that had something for everyone and both parents were blown away by the tuna and braised-beef short ribs, respectively. The entire team worked so hard to make sure that we had a great night and we are so incredibly grateful to have them on our side for our wedding. We are looking forward to finding opportunities warranting catering just so we can have the chicken and waffle appetizers again. swoon!
Liz helped me every step of the way. She guided me through their extensive menu to pick the most perfect seafood bake for my wedding. It couldn't have been better - so tasty! The staff were very helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed before and during the wedding. They even saved extra food for us during the very busy evening. Also, did I mention the food was delicious!! Thank you, all so much for making the evening very special for us!
If you are having an event or wedding in Wilmington, NC you need to work with Thyme Savors! Every step of planning my wedding catering with Thyme Savor was a positive one! Liz and the team were so accommodating from the very first email exchange to the tasting to the menu design and finally to the execution of the event.
I would highly recommend Thyme Savor for brides who are planning their event themselves. At every step of the way Thyme Savor was available to make changes, answer my questions, and provide input on decor, equipment rentals, and service options. It was so helpful as a bride to have that honest input from experts!
If you want a lot of control over the menu or want to do something a bit unconventional, Thyme Savor is more than willing to come up with new options or change some of their menu options to meet your needs! We did stations and heavy appetizers and Thyme Savor was more than willing to get creative to make our ideal menu come to life!
Most importantly the FOOD WAS AMAZING! Our guests were raving about all the options and the quality of all the offerings! We loved every bite at our first tasting and a year later we had the same quality of food served to our guests!
I don't have a single complaint, Thyme Savor was so kind, attentive, flexible, and provide us with amazing food for our event!
A month later and our guests are still raving about the best fried chicken they've ever had! The menu Danielle, Liz, and Jeff helped us create for our wedding was off the charts amazing and unique. I honestly can't say enough about the three of them and the entire Thyme Savor team. They were such a huge part of mine and my husband's story. They catered our engagement party, my bridal shower, our rehearsal dinner, and the wedding. Every single meal was to die for - taste AND presentation. They are so easy and fun to work with, and are so flexible whenever you change your mind or want to try something new. I will 100% use them for future events and can't recommend them highly enough!
A month later and the guest are still raving! A Thyme Savor was willing to work with our small wedding when most other caterers wouldn't. They were also willing to work within our budget and menu constraints (think of the difficulty of a large group of vegetarian guests and a groom that doesn't eat vegetables) while still giving everyone food they loved. My sis-in-law won't eat any other beef barbecue now! The server--for which that title doesn't do him justice--the day of was spectacular! The guest loved him and he went above and beyond what we would have expected. All around, if we need catering for anything else, we're going with A Thyme Savor!
Amazing, amazing food. Everything was presented and cooked perfectly. We had a very small out of town wedding and our guests are still discussing the food weeks after the event. Liz helped us plan an awesome bourbon-themed menu and Jeff made sure EVERYTHING was perfect for us day-of! Jeff is a true professional and his staff treated our guests great. I would use them in heartbeat anytime!
Pros: The food was really yummy, both at the taste-testing and on the day of the wedding. Several guests told me how much they liked the food. Liz was very detailed in her pre-wedding notes and catered to my gluten and dairy free requests. The team strives to be environmentally-friendly whenever possible, which I really appreciated. After the wedding, my parents went by to talk in-person about the issues we had at the wedding, and the team was receptive and apologetic.
Cons: The day before the wedding Liz emailed us to see if we minded the bartender putting tip jars out at the wedding. We wanted to pay for everything for our guests, so we said no. But the night of the wedding the bartenders had tip jars out anyway! We felt this was extremely tacky and took advantage of our guests, many of whom were foreigners and unsure of protocol. The team also threw out our signature cocktails at 10:30pm, when the food servers were ready to go home (the reception lasted until midnight, so obviously we were pretty upset to find them wasting the alcohol and drinks we had supplied them with!) There was not enough meat for about 20 people, which was one of our biggest concerns before the wedding. Two tables upstairs somehow just got ignored and were never tapped to go eat, so finally they came on their own and told the DJ, who then made an announcement for everyone to go get food... or what was left of it. We paid for water and tea service for everyone, yet on the night of the wedding, no one had a water glass and everyone had to go to the bar to get water/tea.
We really enjoyed working with Thyme Savor for our wedding! We contacted a few other caterers in Wilmington, but none of them showed us the same care and excitement that we received from Thyme Savor! I definitely suggest working with them!
After interviewing numerous caterers we quickly realized that the catering market is very competitive here in Wilmington. With that being said we felt that the folks at "A Thyme Savor" were head and shoulders above the rest.
We loved their food and the fact that we were able to tweak the menu and add a custom appetizer as well. They were very professional, very kind and all in all great people. Add to that they were able to work with us so we could stay within our budget by providing alternative ideas and creative menu options.
On the wedding day they arrived with all of the food, servers and bartenders as promised. The servers and bartenders were great, very friendly and helpful. We needed a few extras here and there and they were more than happy to help. From bringing out some of the hors devours to the wedding party during photo sessions to helping with the wedding cake.
Food was great, service was great, price was great and we would recommend them to anyone looking for great food and service.
When we were planning our wedding we knew that we wanted to spend our money on the food. We made an excellent decision in going with Thyme Savor. Everything was prepared expertly and they took great care of my guests. They also made sure to take care of us and packed little to-go boxes for us. They were a dream to work with and they made our wedding an event to remember.
I was very pleased with my experience working with a Thyme Savor on my wedding catering, until the last couple of months. I enjoyed my consultation with Danielle, and had a lovely free tasting experience (delicious food!) but when time got short and I needed MORE (not less) communication about what was going on, I did not get that.
As the wedding quickly approached, probably once every couple of weeks I would think of a couple of simple questions for Danielle (like "do you have your own buffet tables or should I be reserving some for you?") I would typically send her a quick email with short, sweet questions (as a busy work schedule never allowed me to communicate by phone during the day, and I live out of town). Unfortunately, Danielle is not very good at email communication. Some emails she never answered, and some I would get a very short 1-2 sentence response that did not answer everything. Eventually we would give up on email and call her. Please note that via phone and face to face she is GREAT, but if you're a heavy email communicator, you may want to consider looking elsewhere. I know she must be very busy running the business and being lead chef, so perhaps this review would be a lot better if she hired someone to help keep her organized.
I will say, though, that everything went off without a hitch at the rehearsal, and the food was delicious. Danielle was also very helpful during the planning process (at our face to face meetings) by coming up with lots of ideas about decorations, schedule, etiquette, etc. My low review just reflects my disappointment in email communication and organization.
The food was wonderful and our guests very much enjoyed the food. We did not get to taste the food the day of the wedding but were told it was good! The owners are very nice at this catering company. They are not, however, extremely organized. They will say they will do this and that for you and forget come the day of. As a bride, you will not have time at all to make sure everything is done as promised on your day and several things promised slipped through the cracks on our wedding day with these caterers. They forgot they were doing our plates so I had to ask for a meeting to review everything we had already discussed about a month prior to event. I was told the payment was due the day of the wedding and the owner demanded the final payment the week before and did not take responsibility for the mixed messages. We were promised that the bridal party would have appetizers and drinks at the photographing location and none of this was done. We had to send guests to go get us a taste of cocktail hour. The cake was supposed to be plated and passed around and this was not done. The cake was placed in the corner of our tent where no one even saw it and we were left with two whole cakes that our guests never got to try. Huge waste of money. Also, we were promised all the left overs to which we got none. I waited two weeks to write this review hoping I would hear from them (or at least a thank you) but we have had no communication with them since the wedding day! I believe this company would be great for small events but currently I can not recommend them for a large wedding.
