Would not recommend. We worked with a catering coordinator for a year and after she left a month before our wedding, we met with the new coordinator for a hour via zoom catching her up to speed. Not even a week later, Olde Tymes doesn't call, but emails us to let us know that their Catering chef is having surgery and they won't be able to cater our event THREE WEEKS before our wedding. We booked and gave deposit over a year in advance. They left us scrambling to find replacements, the best thing I can say is at least we got our deposit back. Food may be affordable but mediocre, wouldn't recommend at all.
We used Olde Tymes for our wedding and could not have been happier! We did a pasta buffet and then there were cookies for dessert, it was great! Jay-lynn, the event coordinator is awesome!! Highly recommend!
We were thoroughly impressed with Debbie and her staff for our 150-person summer outdoor wedding! Debbie was more accommodating of us than we knew how to ask for, taking our hopes for the day and helping us achieve them and beyond, with a casual hors d'oeurves time and quick transition to dinner. Our guests with children were very impressed with the option for kid-friendly meals the staff served directly to the tables. People commented that the food was delicious, especially the roast beef! Debbie had many suggestions for us based on her extensive experience to help our event go smoothly and our guests be provided for. The tables looked beautiful! We could not believe how much she was willing to do, all while helping us be budget-conscious. We are so thankful to have found Olde Tymes for our special day!
Was very pleased with having olde tymes catering at my wedding. All the servers were exceptional and were there to help me with anything right from the beginning. All the guests said how delicious the food was. before they left they made sure everything was cleaned up and like they were never there. They went beyond expectations to make sure I was well taken care of and as well as my guests!
I was very disappointed in the quality of the food. The beef served at the carving station was inedible, many of my guests were spitting it out, it was that bad. Everything else that was served was good, but not $9,000 good. I was also disappointed that even though discussed on several occasions that "Shirley Temples" would be in great demand knowing that we had several children and teens that were going to be in attendance, they ran out shortly after cocktail hour. I also did not like that the staff was clearing away the glassware that I had rented before dinner service was even over. I personally don't like to drink my wine out of a plastic glass. The caterer was in a bad mood when she discovered that the chiavari chairs were stored in an inconvenient space, I even offered to help place the cushions on the chairs just to relieve some of her stress. (As the mother of the bride I had plenty of stress of my own to handle ). At the end of the night there was no offer of any leftovers to me, which would have been very helpful since I was hosting a ton of out of town guests, and they were due to me since I had paid for that food. Overall, I was very disappointed with Olde Thymes in quality of food and service. I wish I would have just paid a few thousand more and gone with a more recognized name in local catering.
The quality and price for a complete dinner buffet was fantastic. We had plenty of food, it was expertly served and absolutely delicious.
Everything exceeded my expectations and they were wonderful!
My only concern was that I had to pay in cash and that there was not a lot of communication between the manager and myself. It was a very busy summer for everyone! It worked out great and they were incredibly friendly.
Olde Tymes was amazing! Their price was what sold me, but their service and the food was what made me (and my guests) happy. The catering coordinator was so great and fun to deal with, especially at the wedding. And the food was just amazing. They did my bar and everything all for one great price. I HIGHLY recommend them, especially if you are having you wedding at Rocky Neck State Park.
