can make an informed decision. The issues started weeks before our event. Communication was consistently poor — we had to repeat ourselves multiple times on things we’d already confirmed, and received unsolicited invoices with zero context or explanation. I was the one who had to initiate conversations about our menu to find out whether it had even been finalized. That’s not how a vendor relationship should work leading up to one of the most important weekends of your life. Welcome Party (Night 1): We had made it very clear that our welcome party was a casual gathering. All we needed was a bartender to pour wine at the bar for the hour before the event. Instead, she proposed table service staff — something we explicitly said we didn’t want. After a phone call where she agreed to send a bartender instead, no bartender ever showed up. Wedding Day (Night 2): We had specifically requested a menu change from chicken thigh to chicken breast. That change was never made. The wait staff poured wine for only some tables and then disappeared. In a family-style dinner format, not enough food was dropped at multiple tables — which is a fundamental failure for that style of service. The alcohol situation was particularly disruptive. They massively underestimated how much was needed for 104 guests, and my father-in-law had to leave our wedding reception to go purchase more. On top of that, two bartenders for 104 guests was completely inadequate — at points, guests were waiting 15 minutes for a drink. After the event, we heard from our venue that the catering team left the kitchen in an absolute mess and failed to clean up after themselves. Across the board — communication, execution, staffing, and professionalism — this was not the experience we were promised or that we paid for. I hope this review helps someone else avoid the stress we dealt with on a weekend that should have been nothing but joyful.
