We had gone into this contract thinking that Melissa at Creative Fresh Expressions understood everything we wanted, but like they say, "Hindsight is 20/20". We wanted a brunch style buffet. I had communicated that I wanted freshly baked quiche pies, instead we received little quiches about an inch wide and they seemed store bought. I wanted waffles and chicken. The waffles were ok and the chicken were definitely store bought and served at room temperature. My husband wanted a Polish soup and gave her the recipe. It do not taste like Polish soup. It didn't even have taste to it. The scrambled eggs were so burnt that the odor filled the area. Also, I asked that everyone who would be serving would wear black bottoms and white tops, since this was a formal event, which she did not deliver. Also, she said we would have to pay for 2-3 servers. I had expected adults but instead there were about three kids and a man who seemed to be helping. I asked about plates and a table cover for the serving area, which she said she would bring. She brought paper plates for everyone, including us. We were expecting china at least for us, the bride and groom. I was very embarrassed because we spent $3,400 for 100 people, only to be served something that fed about 60 people and the food wasn't great. We were so embarrassed. Based off of our experience, we believe that this vendor is just starting and is not ready to serve at wedding events. We asked for a partial refund since she did not deliver and instead received an email saying she would return $75 for the lack of one server and cost of eggs. On top of that, we received an invoice to pay for one day at a hotel, to be fair, it was included in the contract, depending on the distance they would have to travel. In light of our experience, it only added salt to the wound. We ended up going out to eat shortly after. Also, some of my guests told me they were still hungry and were also expecting more, and also went out to eat. Honestly, I would have given zero out of five stars.
I hired this caterer for a 25th wedding anniversary party at the beginning of the month for 50 people. Menu was good I must say, we did good choices. The decorations and food was great. I will hire this caterer for our anniversary party if we make it to 50 years. I even tipped her on top of what we paid. Awesome service.
I would not hire this caterer and am seriously disappointed in the quality of service. The food was frozen, precooked chicken that was just heated up, they served brown salad to the bridal party and probably the guests (offered to change it out with fresh salad after everyone had already eaten the rest of the meal), the rolls were hard as rocks. On top of that, one server was in a white t-shirt and jeans, and the others were kids (hers I assume) which was never mentioned. At one point they were wrestling in the lobby of the reception. She signed on 15 min late to a zoom meeting I had to request in order to get details ironed out. While it was stated in the contract I would pay for 2 nights at a hotel, only one was needed since it was a morning wedding-I still paid for two. One star: because it’s the lowest I can give and they did show up.
Was hired to do a birthday party and the service was great. Good food, good decorations and friendly staff.
Chef Melissa was awesome in catering our dinner party. The food was exceptional as well as the service. The Apple tart dessert with homemade ice cream was amazing! We would hire her again to cater another event for us in the future.
