We booked Corwin Catering for our wedding. The food turned out even better than the tasting. Our guests would not stop talking about the beef tenderloin. The bartender and servers were great. We communicated with Laura the whole way through and her communication and attention to detail was immaculate. If you are considering hiring them to cater your wedding you will not be disappointed.
The food was amazing! So many of our family and friends were amazed by how good everything was!
A couple of points regarding my sisters wedding:
We had a minimum food count for 350 people which we agreed to despite our 310 people guest count because we preferred to over order and because of this roof the company ahead of time not to be stingy with serving the food. I didn’t even have a chance to go to the buffet but unfortunately after the event, at least 12 different close family and friends mentioned how they would put a single piece of meat, three individual pieces of vegetables and when asked for more vegetables they would simply add one extra piece. Additionally, people were told we cannot give you more as we need to make sure everyone is fed. This type of hospitality is very frowned upon and it we had not had an extra 40’people worth of food maybe I could understand.
We asked those individuals if they had any or were offered the passed hors d’oeuvres we ordered from Corwins AND from another catering company for traditional food that was agreed to both be passed out, maybe one to two servers for the entire venue were going out. It looked as if we didn’t even have passed appetizers. Which hurts considering the extra cost both with corwins and the additional company
From what I tried though the food was good.
Dessert shooters were not replaced until two different people were asked after, I, the sister of the bride who walked by the dessert table noticed the table was empty.
Water was not refilled, people were very thirsty after dancing.
For the cake cutting, similar to the passed appetizers. The amount of cake and people passed was scarce.
Overall, and maybe me being part of the family and planning may seem harsh, I would not recommend when food is not just an important aspect of any event but a reflection on the wedding itself.
Corwin’s the food was good. Better training, project management and more resources for distributing the food would have made a world of difference. With catering food is only half of it, unfortunately the service can end up leaving a bad taste in your mouth.
We booked Corwin's Personal Chef and Catering Services through Hidden Barn Venue's all inclusive package. First off, the food was fantastic, flavorful, and very tasty. Our guest raved about the arroz con gandules.
During the tasting, the staff was professional, responsive, and knowledgeable about their services.
Our wedding day ran smoothly and there was more than enough food to go around. The buffet was clean and nicely setup, very high end and professional looking.
The only thing to be aware of is Corwin's provides all the silverware, dishes, and glassware. During Corwin's clean up, the water glasses were cleared off a little early and some of our guests were wondering where their water went, the party/dancing portion of the wedding was still going on. We recommend possibly providing your own water glasses to make sure this does not happen to you.
In a word, we'd call Corwin's unique - for their selection, their talent, and their professionalism. When we'd started doing tastings, Corwin's was the only service that offered us a one-on-one experience. Corwin and his team are amazing chefs, and all around the kindest people! We really wanted the food to be a memorable part of our wedding, because Christian and I had bonded over food from the start of our relationship.
The team delivered an exceptional meal from start to finish. They were incredibly flexible, as well, starting early for appetizers and dinner, because we were ahead of schedule. Everyone raved about the food, especially the lamb, and many people went back for seconds.
If we ever needed to cater another large gathering, they are the only team we'd ever consider. With such a diverse selection of incredibly good food, Corwins is a must have at your event!
The staff was incredible from start to finish.. firing planning and during my wedding. I would 100% use them again! everyone keeps saying how delicious the food was! Try the fried chicken with honey hot sauce and get extra sauce! lol so so good!!!!!
Seriously the best food! Everything was amazing, we are so happy with choose Corwins. Everyone is still talking about how much they loved our food. We could not recommend them enough.
Top notch service meets world class food! From the moment we reached out to schedule our tasting, we knew Corwin was a consummate professional with pride in his business. That pride shines through in his food. We were seated in a beautiful tasting room and left speechless by bite after bite of our samples. We ended up doing second tasting to add more items to our menu because we couldn’t get enough. Day of our event- the food was made fresh on site in their fully mobile kitchen and our Guests RAVED about the fantastic service, beautiful set up and scrumptious food! Can’t wait to host another event with Corwin’s Catering!
The team at Corwin's Catering is amazing. Arielle was very friendly, professional, and accommodating throughout our wedding planning process. Corwin and his team did a great job preparing, setting up, and serving the food at our wedding, and our guests had nothing but good things to say about the food. I know many couples feel burdened with having to take leftover food home from their wedding, but we were excited to be able to continue enjoying the delicious food that was prepared for us. We highly recommend Corwin's Catering for your event needs!
They were very responsive. We did a cocktail hour with a pizza bar, with 2 different types of crusts and 3 different flavors. We did 2 different mocktails in honor of our two dogs which our guests loved! We did 3 passed hors d' oeuvre's . (grilled cheese w/ tomato soup shooters, crab stuffed mushrooms and coconut shrimp) Buffet dinner which only Corwin's staff served any food and all wore masks. Had Mahi Mahi w/ mango sauce which melted in your mouth, prime rib that was hand carved and garlic shrimp pasta. Sides were mashed potatoes, saffron seasoned rice and vegetable medley were also delicious. Drinks: soda in cans, sweet/unsweet tea and lemonade in dispensers. Ice cream bar at the end of the night with multiple toppings and 3 flavors. sadly by the time I was able to get to it the great majority was already put up and gone. Corwin's staff was helpful with helping with set up. We had a Thursday covid wedding so we had far less guests than originally planned. With our submitted count of 75 we actually ended up with double the food (44 actual guests came and 10 vendors, we had numerous cancellations leading up to the wedding and understandably corwins could not change the count) The tables were cleared fast. (i never even got to see the buffet set up). We were brought a plate of food for dinner but did miss cocktail hour and I was so busy during the reception that my food got cold and taken away before I could really eat it. our friends/family got us a few things at cocktail hour while we were doing pictures but we did miss some items ( I never got any coconut shrimp 😢). I was under the impression that there was going to be a plate from cocktail hour waiting for us at our sweetheart table but there wasn't. None of our guests complained that any of their food was cold. Labels for all the food along with the requested salt/pepper and butter. They had heat lamps and some table décor. We later found out that virtually none of our vendors got to eat, they all sated no one told them when to go through the line. I was sad and embarrassed to hear this, as a host you want your vendors happy and fed. Our 3 pet sitters and 2 coordinators did not eat and out of the 10 vendors only 1 or 2 actually did eat but we don't even know that for sure. The one big mix up was that all the leftovers were supposed to be boxed up and placed in the venue's fridges. Somehow, someway they got placed into random containers from the venue and left out on the counter uncovered. This left us scrambling to figure out how to cover and place them in the fridges and made transporting them awful. We ended up having to pay the venue for the containers and our check out was late due to figuring out the transportation. (my mother in law had to drive the 90 minutes one way back to the venue the next morning to help us transport it all). I emailed this to Corwin and Corwin personally called me and apologized for the incident and offered a refund for the issue. This showed great care and concern and made us feel very valued. Corwin clearly loves what he does and takes great pride in his work. He brings his own truck that he cooks right out of so the food is fresh and hot. Even with the mix up the service was great. We had our 2 fur babies with us and everyone was so nice to them. Also anytime we spoke with a vendor and told them we were having Corwin's do the catering they were all super excited!!!! Corwin's is well known and well respected. Its a great value and great food!
First and Foremost the food was amazing! Chef Corwin and his team were very efficient and did not have guest waiting for an hour to be served. The most organized plated meal service. I had 160 guest at my wedding!!! Very well done!!!!
Chef Corwin and his staff were amazing, they made sure my husband and I were taken care of the whole time they were there.... All our quests had a great time and they loved the food. Definitely recommend him, he was reliable, professional, and of course a great chef
