Eco Caters

Let me start off by saying that in the end, the catering at our wedding ended up being fine, but it was a BATTLE. Initially, we were quoted an amount that was out of our budget. I politely let them know, and was told they could adjust the quote to fit my budget. I thought that was great, as long as it didn’t cut too many corners. I met with a woman named Brandi AND her boss John to make sure we had all the details ironed out. I signed the contract and all seemed well… for a while. A few months later I reached back out to get started with the detailed plans, and was informed that Brandi no longer worked for the company and that the quote she’d given (which was approved by her boss) was extremely low, like by thousands of dollars. I was shocked, I felt so embarrassed and upset that we basically got tricked into agreeing to work with them. It was a battle every step of the way to get the budget we wanted. We ended up having to purchase our own alcohol and make various concessions with the rentals to keep things cheap. I tried reaching out to John again multiple times with no response. While I know the staff we worked with did everything they could, it felt like we basically had to beg them to admit that a mistake had been made, and we kept being treated like they were doing us some huge favor even though they were the ones that pulled the bait and switch in the first place. In terms of the event day, I’m not sure how it happened but the set up didn’t really follow the floor plan (no one bothered giving me a heads up or explanation), and the decor wasn’t in the right places. People said the food was good, so I’m glad that was a positive, I did get to enjoy some tasty appetizers (although we were told some would be set aside for the bride and groom so we could try them all, and that did not happen). To me the buffet was just okay, but I didn't have a huge appetite so it's hard to say. Overall, I would not recommend working with this company for your wedding, but it’s possible the current staff is more competent. I just didn’t appreciate the way the mistake was handled, and it left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

Eco Caters did an amazing job at our May 2018 wedding. Mary was very helpful in the planning leading up to our wedding - meeting us at the linens and serving ware rental company and at our venue site. She provided helpful set-up and timeline advice. The food and service was exceptional and I would highly recommend Eco Caters!

We recently used Eco for a 50-person wedding dinner, and couldn't have been happier. Their philosophy really appealed to us, but the major selling point was the food: they say you don't get to eat at your own wedding, but if you use Eco, you'll certainly want to make sure you do. Every single bite was delicious, and they were happy to work with us to accommodate some guests with restrictive diets, and to work in some special desserts prepared by someone else. Mary and her crew made the entire process a breeze--everything was set up quickly and beautifully (and removed equally quickly at the end of the night) and all of the servers were friendly and extremely professional. Mary also served as our day-of-coordinator and was great. She was responsive, communicated well with our other vendors, and independently handled all of the last-minute problems. Absolutely wonderful experience!

Eco Catering was by-far the best vendor we had at our wedding. (Also professionally I am an event planner, and Eco Catering was the best vendor I have ever worked with.) Mary Gorman is a rock star of a human being. She was SUPER organized, she gave excellent wedding planning advice, and she went way above and beyond her duties as the catering manager. Working with Eco Caters couldn't have been easier since Mary was so responsive, knowledgeable, and frankly just an enjoyable person to be around. And of course the food was AMAZING! Many of our guests commented on how they had never had such delicious and original food at a wedding. None of that standard plain pasta and caesar salad stuff (though I am sure they do an excellent pasta and caesar salad). It was custom created just for us based on our food interests and dietary restrictions of our guests. The staff were so nice and easy going. They were extremely attentive to our guests and couldn't have been friendlier. They were great at working within our budget as well. Compared to other caterers we looked at, they provided a better service at a better price. Thank you Eco Caters for making our wedding so special. I wish we could do it all over again!
