Kate Clydes Catered Creations

d with us with what we wanted. When I first started calling caterers to get quotes I was very clear I wanted a plated dinner and my venue did not have a full kitchen. Kate Clyde’s informed me that they had worked at my venue before and were able to provide a delicious dinner without a full kitchen. We agreed to do a food tasting and were impressed by the food and staff so we paid the deposit that night. Our experience plummeted from there. Kate Clyde’s stopped communication after receiving the deposit. I tried to relax but after weeks of unanswered emails I sent an email if I should find another caterer. Misty the event manager told me all her emails were going to my junk email. That was a lie. I am very type A and check my junk email and received none. Anyways, I was reassured it would be fine and then was sent an invoice $14,000 dollars over what we initially agreed. I quickly called Misty to figure out what had happened and without her checking she basically told me that it was correct and I should pay it. I spent my entire afternoon going through the invoice and found that she tried to charge me $850 per napkin instead of .85 cents. You would think they would double check their invoices before they went out. The food was so good at the tasting and at this point it was so late in the game that after I pointed out where she went wrong I paid the updated invoice. Then again months went on with no communication. Fast forward to two weeks before the wedding. As any bride knows that’s when most payments are due. I tried to be on top of all payments so I sent in the numbers to food items and emailed a couple of questions. Again, no answer. I emailed a couple of times for no response. Three days before the wedding, I got multiple frantic calls from Misty asking questions that could have been answered months ago. It’s as if she knew nothing that we had discussed. I also asked multiple times about the staff that would be present at the wedding and she reassured me two bartenders would be there. The wedding day…what an absolute disaster…I am completely mortified about what went on and what my guests were served. First of all, only one bartender was present the first half of the wedding- even though I was contracted for two. I was also promised two people to set up my tables who were “extremely detailed oriented” not the case at all. The place settings were all over the place and couples weren’t even seated together. The food was completely INEDIBLE. My sister had to demand the stopped serving one appetizer before guests got sick!! I could cry even thinking this happened. Multiple guests spit out their food and quoted or smelt “rancid.” My son, who eats anything, spit out the mac and cheese bites because they were cold and “gooey”. They tried to serve a shrimp appetizer that was fishy and inedible. A bridesmaid spit it out into a Lysol wipe. The dinner was just as bad. The first thing I said to my new husband was “is you food cold?” My beef tenderloin was cold! The brides food was inedible. The salmon was over cooked and dry. Not to mention I was told there would be ten servers for twelve tables. It took over forty minutes for food to get out. I could go on for days. It was awful. Worst experience. Brides beware. One more thing, we later found out that vendors had gone out and gotten their own dinners because they’ve worked with Kate Clyde’s before and knew the food was awful

lanning with her they were going through lack of staffing and the commutation was hard at first. she got more people and everything was great. So greatfull I stay.

rived on time and were great with all of my guests. Food was delicious!

bride was relaxed, elegant, and delicious. The buffet was attractive and the food was as delicious for 150 as it had been when prepared for 3. The catering staff was attentive, helpful, and responsive to requests. I highly recommend Kate Clyde's.
