I am beyond impressed and thrilled to have picked Garnish as my catering-vendor for my wedding, 8/4/18. My wedding held 200+ guests and was located at my parent’s house, making it a complicated venue for vendors. Garnish made the process feel s...imple and gave me a fantastic result. There are three overarching categories that help explain the gratitude and relief I feel after moving forward with garish.
1) Custom planning and event coordination: I was an out of town bride with a full-time job; trying to plan a wedding from Texas. Garnish was easy to communicate with across multiple channels including email, phone, (even text at some points when I was in a pinch). I had one point of contact, Reem Willging the General Manager, who then introduced me to individual members of her team who she assigned to my event. The management and organization of the event on Garnish’s part kept our progression moving forward even when I myself am not an organized person. I felt somewhat overwhelmed trying to plan a dinner for 200+ people. The Garnish team guided me through every step of the process, asking the right questions and offering their suggestion; utilizing their personal experience in the industry. The one-on-one interactions made it simple to pick up where we left off and I knew that the details would not be lost in communication.
2) Unique dishes and presentation ideas: The options were ENDLESS. I even had the ability to ‘brainstorm’ with the owner and top chefs outlining what I envisioned for my wedding and how they could not only accommodate but make it better than my original thinking. Personally, I had a high-end, elegant food-station dinner so that I was not limited to only a few plate selections. I also included appetizers during my cocktail hour and a late-night food option which were all unique and delicious.
3) Staffing: Their staff was overly prepared; so much so, my party planner had little to no contact with them the entire day/evening. Utilizing the information we discussed in our previous meetings, the general manager Reem Willging, made sure to write out a detailed timeline and list of responsibilities for her entire team. I did not have to repeat myself and usually she remembered details that I had completely forgotten. Garnish staffed both the cocktail hour, dinner and bars all evening. They were professional, kind and most importantly I DID NOT LIFT A FINGER! The service was superb.
Above all, the food is exceptional, guests were thrilled and have asked for their information and the experience is something I am truly grateful for.
