We hired Crown Royal Catering, led by Lady Alswell, for our wedding (guest count: 167). From the beginning, Lady Alswell was very kind and clearly wanted to help us stay within our...
budget—she even worked to match another caterer’s quote, which we truly appreciated. She was also flexible, allowing us to build a menu outside her standard offerings, including a special vegan meatloaf based on our personal recipe, which meant a lot to us. The food itself was delicious, and many of our guests shared how much they enjoyed it.
That said, our experience leading up to the wedding was more stressful than we had hoped. There was some initial confusion around our final quote and previously discussed discounts, which required a fair amount of follow-up to resolve.
One area that was particularly frustrating involved the vegan meatloaf. We had been told that the tasting would reflect our exact recipe made with our specified ingredients. While the version we tasted was good, it didn’t seem to fully match what we had provided. Then, just a few days before the wedding, we were contacted with questions about where to purchase key ingredients from the recipe. This made it clear that our specific recipe had not actually been prepared for the tasting as we had understood, which was disappointing and undermined our confidence in that part of the process.
On the day of the wedding, we also encountered some concerns with service. While we had understood there would be a staffed team, the individuals serving the food appeared to be minors. We also observed some questionable food handling practices (for example, touching hair while wearing gloves and continuing to serve food without changing them), which raised concerns for us.
Overall, while the food quality and Lady Alswell’s kindness stood out, the organization, communication, and service did not fully meet our expectations for a large event like a wedding. We think her catering may be a better fit for smaller, more flexible gatherings where the logistics are simpler.
