My wedding was 9/1/19 at Brodie Homestead. Brodie requires you to select from their recommended list of caterers. I contacted several of them but found Dagar's had the best pricing. Also, Kathryn was very responsive and professional. I first st...arted working with her in June 2018. She called me to discuss my budget and the ideas I had in mind. She was very kind and made great suggestions, especially since I had never planned something of this magnitude before. The proposal she sent over was very clear. Because Brodie does not provide linens, I rented these through Dagar's as well.
It took a few months before I was ready to sign the contract and make the first payment. Fortunately, they still had my date available. We had our tasting about 6 weeks before the wedding, and it went very well. Kathryn attended it, so it was nice to meet her in person. Stefanie handled the planning, coordinating the details, and putting together the final version of the contract. She was very knowledgeable and helpful, even suggesting a delicious vegetarian meal for 1 of my guests.
Kathryn happened to be scheduled to work my wedding. They arrived on time and setup exactly according to the diagrams. The catering staff did an EXCELLENT job of flipping the room from ceremony to reception style. They did the flip quickly, but without causing too much noise or chaos. They even delivered appetizers to the bridal and groom's suites.
We decided on a dual entree of beef tenderloin and chicken caprese. I hate to even mention it, but both meats were a bit dry. Perhaps this is because it sits on warmers for several hours? I'm not sure. However, the salad, breads, and sides were absolutely delicious. Dagar's also provided kid's meals, which they loved.
Throughout the night, the staff was so attentive and professional. They did an excellent job of cutting the cake quickly. The bartenders were great. Unfortunately, my guests (and me) drank so much vodka, that we ran out towards the end of the night.
Overall, Dagar's did an excellent job, and I am very glad I booked them for my wedding day. I did notice that they changed their pricing after I signed my contract, so I'm not sure how they compare with competitors now. If they are within your budget, I highly recommend them! Thank you, Kathryn and Stefanie!
