Let Us Do The Cooking

The Let Us Do The Cooking team was great to work with! They catered our wedding and we could not be happier. Brittney and the team were so helpful and responsive throughout the whole process, going back and forth over menu items and table cloths for a while - always quick to respond to me. They even ordered new table cloths for me to rent from them as they didn't have the specific color I was looking for. They went above and beyond the day of the wedding as well - my bartenders who were hired through a different company did not have enough ice and the team lead from Let Us Do The Cooking sent one of their team members to pick up more ice. I had no idea about this until my coordinator let me know a few weeks after the wedding how the LUDTC had really gone above and beyond what was expected. They really were amazing and their full service catering package was just what we needed. The food was amazing and everyone loved it as well! We highly recommend them for weddings or any other event needing catering.

We had Let Us Do the Cooking cater, cut the cake and bartend for our wedding. The placements were beautiful and all of the food was delicious. Everyone kept telling me how great the food was and how they were so impressed with our bartender, Najiyyah. She was so great on our wedding day, even when we ran out of lemons and lime juice. The only thing I have to complain about was there was a mixup with our asparagus and some people got cake dowels on their plates, but other than that it was absolutely perfect. I couldn’t recommend this caterer/bartender more!!

Let us do the cooking did a great job catering! We were able to hire a bartender and clean-up crew through them, which saved time from finding another vendor. The food and service were excellent.

Everything that was served was delicious, however here were a few issues with the service, but I’ll get to that. I enjoyed the planning meetings with Meredith, and the food and staff were always impeccable at their restaurant. However, it is the things that were not handled well that concern me more. 1. The catering staff tried to set up for the buffet meal, when we had ordered a plated meal, and then argued with my mother about it. 2. When I originally met with Meredith, I told her that we would need some children’s meals. I was told to just include them on the final count, and they would be accommodated. Then at the wedding…no kids meals. We were later informed that because they were not on the contract, they were not at fault. 3. I was adamant about providing vegetarian meals for our guests, and asked if I should do a seating chart or escort cards to facilitate this during the serving of the plated meal. I was again told “no” that the servers would be able to accommodate this, and would ask at the table. They didn’t. I hadn’t warned my guests to make sure to ask for their vegetarian meals, and therefore many of my vegetarian and Kosher Jewish guests were served meat. 4. We made the decision to add pilsners for beer about a month before our wedding. The pilsners got misplaced somehow and the bartenders were then unable to serve the beer from the kegs, and served our bottled beer, which was meant to be a reserve after the keg beer ran out. We ended up running out of bottle beer in 30 minutes and having a full keg left at the end of the night. I am not saying all this to turn you off, but to be cautionary. These caterers are definitely the best quality food in the area, and best value. But be sure to be AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE, and ask to meet with the actual event manager who will be working at your event, not only the owner Meredith. I sincerely hope your experience will be better than ours.
