Kelly and Debbie Monteverde were wonderful. They were attentive, friendly, professional and fun. I never had to wait for a response and not once did I see them without a smile. I cannot say enough about their service and the Food was wonderful ...too!
When my husband and I first started reviewing caterer’s their menu was one of the first that caught our eye. There are the normal “stuffed chicken” and “Roast Beef” but there were also a few non-traditional things like a seafood medley in pastry and some very original beef dish. We decided to call and make an appointment.
I contacted Debbie with some questions and received a response the same day. They were very flexible with our schedules (neither of us could arrive until late evening) and they offered for us to bring as many people as we wanted. I had told them that we wanted something different and that we were open to anything but I eventually chose 3 dishes to try because I thought everyone would enjoy them. When we first arrived the office threw us off a bit, we had to walk through the kitchen and were seated at a small table in their office. We were a little cramped but they were very hospitable, and the smell was amazing! I realized later that it was a good thing to walk through their kitchen, they had nothing to hide, the facility was very very clean.
Debbie and her daughter Kelley started to serve us dinner, they had told us to bring an appetite but I didn’t know I needed a whole other stomach. There was so much food. Not only did they prepare the 3 dishes that I had requested but they added another three or four items that they thought I might like to try. The food was amazing. The chicken was moist, the puffed pastry was fluffy, their sauce so flavorful. In the end they ended up changing my mind and I went with one of the options they chose. And afterwards they packed up the leftovers and sent them home with us. We had lunch and dinner the next day!
When the wedding did roll around the set up was perfect. Everyone in the buffet line was attentive and welcoming. The food was great, and we are still getting compliments. The staff dismissed each table with ease and afterwards cleared each just as quickly, they also offered to box up the leftovers for us. Our cake was cut and served quickly and the clean up seemed to happen without me noticing. I did not have to worry once about anything and that was invaluable. My husband and I spoke to and tried other caterers but I never once regretted choosing Monteverde's!
