My husband and I had our reception on my family's farm in upstate NY on 9/8/18, and we were challenged with finding a caterer who could serve our 200+ person outdoor wedding without a traditonal chef's kitchen on site - it was a daunting and bi...g decision but I am SO HAPPY and SO GRATEFUL that I found Mehmet, Michelle and the team at CFC! We were drawn to them first from their reviews online for being a non-traditional venue caterer and for having quite a few high-profile clients, but we were sold from the very start once I spoke with Mehmet - we spent almost an hour on the phone discussing all the logistics and he patiently answered all my questions and made me feel so comfortable and at ease. He went above and beyond for us - he even came by my family's farm before we signed the contract to take a look at the space and give me his thoughts (and confirm it would be no problem at all), and then again the weekend before our wedding to do a final run through (which made me feel so so so at ease during such a stressful time). He was such a calming presence on our wedding day, had appetizers waiting for us at our table when we sat down, and came up to me a few times to check on us- I will be forever grateful for him that day!!
We signed our contract immediately after our tasting - there are so many packages to choose from that are so competitively priced to fit any budget with so many menu choices that we really were able to make a perfect menu to fit our budget and crowd. They handled everything for us - cocktail hour, reception, dessert, cut & served our cake, alcohol, staff & service, sourced & set up most of our rentals (tables, chairs, linens, cutlery, etc.), and once again went above and beyond by setting up the afterparty for us even though they weren't even working it! And the food - the food was AMAZING. We chose to have family style service and there was enough food for everyone to have some, and the staff came around with extras once some of the dishes were done! I had so many of my guests come up to me specifically to rave about the food - one of my guests texted my brother in law recently (almost 3 weeks later) that she was still thinking about the food and that the beef was one of the best she's ever had! I was so impressed with them: at my outdoor wedding, without a traditional kitchen, on a somewhat cold night - the food was absolutely delicious, there was something for everyone, and most importantly all my guests were happy. It was amazing.
Choosing a caterer is arguably one of the most important (if not the most important) vendor for your wedding day and I truly don't have one negative thing to say about CFC. My day went off without a hitch and they are to thank for that - they went above and beyond for service, the food was incredible, and they were delightful to work with from the start. They are a wonderful team and company and I will absolutely be recommending them to anyone (not only brides) looking for a catering service.
