Christiani's VIP Catering & Events

tary restrictions and they were very accommodating and ensured all our guests would have a wonderful meal.

ding, they delivered with amazing food and a friendly staff with a particular attention to details. We would highly recommend Christiani's for any event!

have never has or seen a single problem wiht the amazing food, or the exceptional service offered. If you want to add that "something extra" to make your special day even more memoable, Christiani's is the place that can do this!

t show (covid) and so we couldn’t take the left overs (even though we paid for them) since we booked last year, we were supposed to get a complementary food station.. we opted for the panini bar, and we were given the bruschetta bar. The drunken steak was still cold in the middle. And Peter, the one organizing it was nowhere to be found. Nor has he replied to our emails about the bar mix up. All in all, if you’re looking for a decent caterer, I’d recommend them; However, it isn't worth what they charge.

! We had several appetizers for cocktail hour along with the pasta buffet for dinner and it was all delicious. They were very accommodating to the changes we had to make due to COVID, and the service the night-of was perfect. I would highly recommend!

y what we were going to have on our wedding day. If you are wavering between caterers, go with Christiani's! I recommend them to my newly engaged friends.

ould possibly get. They made this part of the day the most stress-free and easy for us and we couldn't be more thankful!

h and accommodated our changes and needs. Communication was good. Things that other people have commented on......you do not get any leftover food for health code reasons. We handled anything cake related as we brought in cake and cupcakes from outside vendors.

ty. My fiance was told "the lady" that was supposed to place the linens was 10 minutes away. Our cake decorator then arrived. The cake decorator waited for the "the lady" to arrive, but 45 minutes later she was not there. There were no linens on the cake table so the cake had to be decorated and placed onto a plate and left on a random table. The linen lady arrived at 2:15pm. Ceremony started at 3pm. This delayed all of the planning and decorating. We were scrambling. My MOH and officiant also had to place the cake bare handed on the stand and then on the cake table, which of course I paid extra money to have done by the cake decorator. "The lady" also told my fiance that the linens that were supplied by Christiani's were the wrong linens and were meant for another event. The dinner was absolutely unorganized. Peter and I had spoken directly about my future brother-in-law and his nut allergy and where he would be seated numerous times. No one could figure out who or where the person with the nut allergy was seated so the nut allergy meal was sent to the best man. We explained this to the wait staff and we ended up passing the meal down the table to my brother-in-law. When then had to ask for another meal for the best man, because he was no longer being served. My brother-in-law has now told us that his stuffed chicken marsala had no stuffing or gravy and 4 green beans. When we met with Peter, we were under the impression that my brother-in-law's salad and green beans would be the only items altered to accommodate the allergy. Also, the wait staff informed us that steak knives were forgotten so our guests were cutting their steaks with butter knives, which didn't go well. Some of our guests used their own personal pocket knives to cut the steak. My fiance and I were both collectively asked over 10 times by the wait staff if our cake was being cut and served to the guests and if there were fake sections inside of it. We were also both questioned multiple times on if we were keeping the top tier of the cake for ourselves. Peter and I had already discussed this. When we thought the issue had been resolved and communicated about day of, but the cake serving was chaotic! There was no communication between the staff members. My father-in-law mentioned to the staff that coffee was supposed to served with the cake. The coffee was served after everyone was done eating cake. It was forgotten. There were also no mint or nut trays. Lastly, we turned out the lights in the reception hall for dancing. We found out the bartender had a medical condition and was blind in one eye so he needed 100% light to see and serve. His service was great, but no one could understand why he would be placed in an area that was going to be dark and why he did not bring his own light source. We ended up placing one our up-lights behind the bar so he could see. The bartender also asked my fiance if we brought limes and other garnishments for the bar to use. In our contract, it states that Christiani's was supposed to bring ice, limes, ect. None of that happened. We luckily had a guest leave and go get extra ice for drinks. There was no one present at the reception venue who was knowledgeable about our plans and day-of coordination.

ear from the company for at least two months leading up to the event, and it wasn't until less than 2 weeks before the wedding when we finally heard back from them. We nearly took our business elsewhere. I'm giving them 4 stars because the reception and food were wonderful, but I'm writing this so people are aware that communications may be an issue.

th away. Service: Awful. On the wedding day, staff were very rude to the bride, groom, and family, snapping at them for asking basic clarifying questions. When we asked about leftovers we were told, "there are no leftovers," as if they magically disappeared, even though we saw the large amount of food left after dinner. We also caught staff eating the food in plain view of the guests. Food/Decor: Amazing. All our guests loved it. The only thing keeping this a 3 star review. If you are willing t completely sacrifice the peace of mind that good service & communication can provide all for the sake of a solid dinner, then go with Christiani's. But I'm sure there are plenty of other caterers in the area that provide quality food without the added drama.

he planning process it is hard to keep in contact with them and they were unwilling to adjust their set up time to better accommodate our needs. Overall excellent decor set up, amazing food, and great day of service. All for a very reasonable price.

s keep telling me how good the food tasted and was presented. We had also saw a previous version of their brochures since I planned so far in advance. Christiani's had no problem letting me pick the options from that brochure as our passed appetizers. Loved working with Peter!

.

but thought at least the bride and groom would have hot food. I would choose them again for future events.

a wonderful job and provided quick service to anyone who needed a drink. I can't say enough good things about Christiani's!!

tas! It was amazing and we had so many complements on the food. I heard from many people that their staff was kind and efficient. They even helped to box up our desserts. They helped with the schedule of the day and everything went smoothly.

h a wonderful reception afterwards thanks to Christiani's. They are very professional, respectful, and provide great service.

ffers a "tapas" menu, but we wanted to make a whole bunch of changes, additions, and subtractions to their existing plan. Sally at Christiani's was very helpful and accommodating and didn't charge us an arm and leg extra for all of our changes! Plus our guests loved the food... the Primadonna Cheese Station is phenomenal and the Seafood station was also a big hit... mini seafood chowder and bacon wrapped scallops were a big hit!
