Morton’s catered our wedding at Woldumar Nature Center and did a fabulous job! Their communication throughout the planning process was the best of all of our vendors (we live out of state so this was especially great). The quality of service and food was incredible, 5 stars is not enough! We got so many compliments on the food and kindness of staff. They handle everything with so much professionalism, it’s unbelievable. I couldn’t recommend them enough!!!
Everything about Morton’s exceeded our expectations and more. From the first call with Brenda, we knew they were who we wanted at our wedding. She was always helpful on the phone and during our tasting, and we appreciated her help immensely. The food was amazing at both the tasting and our wedding. We chose the beef bourguignon and cherry chicken and we are still having people rave on how it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. The staff was so kind and made sure the tables were attended to all night. Best choice we made having Morton’s at our wedding!
Multiple guests commented on this being the best wedding food they've had. A friend said his mom makes the best flank steak ever, but Morton's came close to beating her. The servers were attentive and friendly and the food was delicious.
The food was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfect nice and juicy. I got many compliments on the pasta. The potato’s were my favorite. The staff were amazing with getting the tables food up to the buffet table. The house dressing for the salad was so good. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Even let me take a to go plate for later.
I have had three children married. We went wit Morton’s because the caterer we had used in the past was booked up. The food was okay. It did not taste as good as the test meal. The employees were not focused on the persons at the reception, they did not check for water, picking up dishes that were dirty, and the food was not hot. The brides family was sent to the buffet line last and no one checked back in after the salad was distributed. We had quite a few no shows and Morton’s said that we could not have leftovers, but they would give them to a homeless shelter. Nice thought, but we found the excess food in trash cans and we had to dump them. The saddest thing is that the price was double the other caterer.
Wow. Morton's Fine Catering was an absolute joy to work with and did a phenomenal job. We first reached out to them because their website listed everything they provide and their prices which was a HUGE time saver compared to other companies who want to make a whole meeting to go over that stuff. We were able to see if they had food we'd like and in our price point from the get-go. Brenda was who we were in contact with up until our reception day and she was incredibly polite, helpful, informative, and patient. I even asked her if I could tip her because she was so great to talk to. On the day of, the team showed up on time, the woman in charge introduced herself to me, and they set up so quickly without making much noise at all. We had ordered five appetizers and it was all delicious. I had multiple people tell me how great it was. Using the same two tables the appetizers were on, the team switched it out to our dinner buffet, and again, the food was delicious. The place settings were beautiful, the buffet noted what each option was, and the servers were on top of things. When everyone was done eating, the team took everything down and slipped out without anyone barely noticing. At the end of the night, my husband and I did realize something that made us smile - we had a table set up with two things: paper toasts and flour. The paper toasts were there for people to write toasts/kind words on for us. The flour was because my husband is a chef and, as a unity type thing, he wanted our guests to throw flour into one new container that he'd use to make a
The food was so good! So many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they have ever had! The beef was so tender and the chicken was so juicy. The staff was polite and moved quickly to get guests fed. They worked well with us from even before our first tasting. I wish they had a restaurant so we could enjoy the food again and again!
Brenda was great to work with and really helpful, as were all of the serving staff. And the food was delicious -- we got many compliments!
They were able to accommodate many diet and food allergies so it was a no brainer to go with them! Brenda really helped me get my time line together! I would have been lost without her! We had last minute changes due to COVID supply chain shortages, but I liked those changes better! We went with the Seasonal Eats and everyone LOVED it!! You will not regret going with Morton's!
Seriously the best catering vendor ever! We hired them for our wedding because our wedding planner suggested them and when we had our tasting we literally had not one complaint. The day of the wedding was so hectic and my husband and I were so focused on everything else that we weren’t hungry but I remember sitting at the head table and looking around at everyone else eating and having their own conversations saying “omg this is so good!” When I saw what people were saying I made sure to try every single thing we offered and it was all so so good! And the staff was so amazing! As the Bride I wanted to spend most of my time on the dance floor or with guests and if I needed a drink or anything there was always someone a few steps behind me that would get me anything and everything I needed and made sure I was good all night. They honestly were the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding and I’m so happy that I had them for mine.
Our wedding of June 2020 was delayed due to covid and the first thing we did when we chose a 2021 date was call Morton's to see if they were available because we had heard such great things. They were incredibly helpful and flexible. Above all, their food was out of this world. All the guests said they thought it was from a restaurant it was unlike any catered food they had ever had. We did buffet style and everything was so fresh and delicious. Would recommend for literally any and every group event!
Morton's Fine Catering was recommended to us by our wedding planner and I'm so glad they were! When we had to find a new venue about 60 days before our wedding date we had to also find a caterer and I'm so glad Morton's was available! Brenda was so amazing to work with during our last minute planning. We have had so many compliments on how amazing all the food was at our wedding and we owe that all to Morton's! All the staff Morton's provided was so kind and helpful as well!
We are grateful to Morton's for walking through planning while in the midst of a pandemic. Their food is phenomenal and was a hit with all of our guests. The servers were also very friendly. Communication on changes during the pandemic months was not the best. We were able to work through everything with them, but the initiative on their end to move forward with plans was lacking. That said, after several emails and Zoom meetings the wedding day itself went smoothly and our guests were very happy with the food!
Morton’s Fine Catering did an amazing job at our wedding. Brenda was amazing and pleasant to work with as well was the entire staff that serviced at our wedding. Morton’s did a great job at keeping updated and following the guidelines and protocols that were enforced due to the pandemic. They were very considerate of limiting people’s exposure to each other. I cannot say enough great things of Morton’s. We had booked them way before the pandemic had taken place and they didn’t bat an eye when I had to change location of our reception venue. The food was delicious and they were able to keep the food nice and hot even though they had to drive an hour to the new venue! Thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable.
Morton’s Fine Catering surpassed my expectations, and honestly my guests have yet to stop talking about how amazing the food was. From the start Morton’s was easy to work with and Brenda was amazing with helping us plan a wonderful evening. The entire wait staff was professional and friendly. Jessie our day of contact was amazing and she had the staff working their tails off to make sure the evening was perfect. The food was absolutely phenomenal. The tasting went smoothly and we went over a lot of details, and the recommendations that brenda has for alcohol are pretty easy to work with. I absolutely recommend Morton’s and this was by far one of my favorite parts of my wedding day outside of marrying the groom!
Mortons Fine Catering did a truly incredible job for our 07.27.19 wedding 💕 From start to finish our entire experience was absolutely seamless and we couldn’t have dreamed of anything better for our special day!! Brenda was an absolute pleasure to work with and was always available to help answer any questions or concerns we had throughout the planning process... and the entire staff was friendly, efficient, and attentive to us and all of our guests throughout the entire evening!! To top it all off, the food was hands down some of the most delicious that we have ever had!!! To this day we still receive compliments on how amazing everything was 😍 We honestly could not be more pleased with our decision to hire Mortons for our wedding day and would highly recommend them to anyone!!! Thank you for helping make our special day that more more incredible 💗
Morton’s did a fantastic job with the food, I loved the professionalism of the service and how the tables always looked neat. Brenda helped us hammer out our timeline down to the minute which was a huge help for coordinating with the other vendors. She was always willing to answer my questions and take my calls, even when my guest count changed 4 times in the last week!
One of the servers found me at the end of the night with my half-finished glass of wine and piece of first-cut cake and asked if I wanted them. It’s silly, but that was so kind. I really appreciated them going the extra mile to make everything polished. I’m glad we went with Morton’s, even though the final bill made me almost have a heart attack... (more people rsvp’d than I had intended and those taxes and service percentages are no joke!) Money well spent though, I believe.
Morton’s did an outstanding job! Everyone was raving about the food saying how amazing and delicious it all was! From working with Brenda to working with the staff the day of, they were all amazing to us! We are so incredibly lucky to have had Morton’s cater our special day! We will most definitely be recommending Morton’s in the future! Thanks again!
Mortons - wonderful to work with, organized planning with Brenda, clear communication and fair pricing for great food. Lovely waitstaff with great service, Rae and her team greeted my parents upon their arrival to the reception and assured them that our guests were in good hands. Good food, we had mushroom pork, Mediterranean pasta, potatoes and mixed vegetables and they took care of linens and even helped cut and box cake as favors for guests. Highly recommend these guys!
If we could have gone back and changed one thing about our otherwise lovely wedding day, it would have been to select a caterer other than Morton's. Put bluntly, they did not prepare enough food for all of our guests, even after we told them to prepare for a higher number of guests than ended up coming. Two tables at our wedding did not get a meal, including the table with our wedding officiant, and Morton's staff offered to "order them pizza." We had people drive in from out of town to be offered pizza. It almost sounds too ludicrous to be true. If you are considering having Morton's cater your wedding, I would encourage you to at least sit down with other caterers in the area, as Morton's is not the only one, despite the way they make it seem. Another caterer we spoke with had warned me that Morton's has this problem, but when I asked Beth Morton point blank, she basically scoffed and said that of course they always prepare enough, and I believed her. I could have forgiven the blunder, terrible as it was, had they immediately told us, apologized, and made it right. But our wedding was in October of 2018, and we JUST learned of this embarrassing situation from friends who had been trying to spare us the humiliation by not telling us, but finally did. I cannot believe that this happened, that no one from Morton's told my husband or myself, and that they just tried to pass it off by offering to order our guests pizza, with no other form of remediation even considered. As happy as our wedding day was, now I will always look back on it with this cloud of disappointment and embarrassment that our caterer failed so spectacularly to render the services for which we paid. Is this not the most basic expectation a bride should have for a caterer? The food can be average, but for goodness' sake there needs to be enough for everyone. I suspect that their under-preparedness and lack of concern to fix the situation was because my husband and I, two graduate students on a budget, opted for one of their least expensive packages. It's a shame that they feel customers who aren't paying as much don't deserve the respect of having all of their guests fed.
The food was so delicious! We had a macaroni and cheese station,appetizers and a hot chocolate station. There were also lots of mix-ins for both the mac and cheese and the hot chocolate which guests loved. Everyone at Morton's was very professional and enthusiastic. Our servers did a great job and our coordinator was fantastic. I would highly recommend Morton's Fine Catering.
The food planning, from determining appetizers and entrees, to the decision-making that come from the tasting, to providing the linens and napkins-it was all so easy. Brenda was great to work with and was helpful in working with our budget, all while providing high quality food for our wedding. It was a seamless process overall and our guests were very pleased with the food at our cocktail hour and reception. We recommend Morton's for your wedding needs!
Morton's Fine Catering is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. I had them cater my wedding at the Michigan State Horticulture Gardens and having them as our caterer was one of the single best decisions I made for our wedding. Brenda and Beth took care of us from day 1 and made me feel like I was very special and not just a number - they really cared about making my wedding the best day ever. Brenda was so gracious and answered all of my questions (even the silly ones!) and even organized a lovely tasting for me, my parents, and my future in-laws! They know the MSU Gardens so well, but Beth still took the time to meet me at the Gardens and do a walk-through so I was comfortable with everything. The wedding day was PERFECT - the service was professional and they were so flexible. We had some food from another caterer and they were even willing to accommodate that and help us organize. And last but not least, the FOOD - wow the food, was delicious! I even found time during my own wedding to eat the good food and all the guests loved the as well.
I really can't say enough about how thankful my husband and I are to Morton's. They took care in every detail and made our special day the best day of our lives. Thank you so much!
I didn't have to worry about a thing, and everyone has told me: best. wedding. food. ever!
Seriously some of the best food I've ever had and the entire staff was amazing from start to finish! Everyone was so supportive and proactive that we didn't have to worry about a thing on the wedding day! We received so many compliments about the food and the service. This company is the best!!
Morton's was fantastic. The food is delicious. The presentation was beautiful. Waitstaff was professional and well organized. Brenda was so great to work with and answered all of my questions promptly. We received so many compliments on the food. We used their bar service as well. They were great and kept our guests happy throughout the night. They even helped us get everything packed up - including helping figure out a way to get our leftover cake home. Would highly recommend!!
We cannot say enough great things about this company! Brenda, the woman who has helped me plan my menu & coordinated our tasting is very nice and helpful. She’s helped me change our appetizers multiple times & really talked me through each option to fit our tastes & likes. During the tasting i was blown away by the quality, presentation, and taste of the food!!!! During the end of the tasting she gave us a gift to take home & made sure we set up our next contact appointment to go over things! I would recommend them for any occasion you need catering!!!!!!
Morton’s fine catering catered our 1/13/18 wedding at the Old Town Marquee. The staff were outstanding; friendly, accommodating, and very professional. Our meal was absolutely delicious. We also had desserts catered which were wonderful! I highly recommend!
The food was amazing, and they were amazing about addressing food allergies and dietary restrictions. We’ve had so many compliments from guests!
We did chicken Vesuvio and prime rib with green beans and garlic whipped potatoes. The food was amazing and their signature champagne vinaigrette salad dressing is to die for! Brenda was a dream to work with. We were sold at the tasting after trying a few entrees. I appreciated they gave us privacy to eat and discuss what we liked. We did a buffet for our wedding with appetizers earlier on. The staff arrived on time and were professional. We also used them for bar tending and they did awesome. Would highly recommend them to anyone!
Morton's was a pleasure to work with and the food was great. I've had several friends and family members comment that they thought it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding! I worked with Brenda and she was great about working with me on the meal and all of the details for what types of glasses we would need and what not. I definitely recommend them for Lansing area wedding and even catering.
Our food and service from Morton's was incredible. We are so lucky we went through them. Everyone loved it!!!
We got married on May 7th, 2016. We used Morton's for our catering/bartenders. I would say that we are demanding, but precise in our demands. From day 1, Morton's did a fantastic job. Of all of our demands, one mistake was made regarding our wedding colors. We were able to handle this without problem, and move forward on short notice.
Honestly, I'm not certain what we were more impressed with - the in-person meetings or the precision of our wedding day. We loved the staff. We loved the owners. We loved the bartenders.
A very good experience. The food was on point. The service was on point. Very very pleased.
Morton's fine catering did a fantastic job of catering my wedding. The service was amazing, the food was awesome, and everyone loved the mojitos they did for me as my signature drink. There were a few minor issues before the wedding but these were resolved quickly and professionally. My mom had given me so much grief about using Morton's because they are not the cheapest place around. I told my mom, you pay for what you get! In this case it was worth every penny :)
Morton's Fine Catering provided amazing food and exceptional service for our June 4 wedding. The meals were delicious and the staff friendly and attentive. Our guests raved over their dinners - we had so many compliments and no leftovers! Everything about our experience with Morton's, from the planning through the event, exceeded our expectations. Brenda was wonderful to work with - she checked in regularly, promptly answered all questions and helped make sure our reception was a success. Any future catering needs we have, Morton's will be our very first call.
Very poor communication skills. After ignoring several contacts we received two very short and rude emails, the last suggesting we change our venue or style to accommodate them. (They now have there own private venue.)
From the beginning I knew Beth and Morton's were going to be a great fit. My husband and I knew we wanted the food to be unique and delicious for our winter wedding. Beth helped us create some comfort foods with a personal touch. I couldn't believe how many people are STILL (a month later) telling us how it was the best food- including a friend who is a professional chef!
Beth helped create a cake that was based on my grandmother's recipe, come up with a signature drink, and find a way to make mini pot pies happen- she's a saint!! She always got back to me right away, and the staff on the Big Day was unbelievably helpful- with more than just food! One of the waitresses got my candles lit, and another one made sure all the lights were plugged in. They went above and beyond- even making sure I had remembered to eat!
The displays of food looked like something out of a magazine, for a very reasonable price. It helped make our big day memorable and unique- down to the popcorn bar at the end! I can't say enough good things about Morton's- and neither could my guests!!
We recently got married at the Grand Ledge Opera House and chose Morton's from their preferred list of vendors. From the beginning, Beth Morton was very responsive and friendly. When my husband and I went to her shop for a tasting, Beth helped us determine a timeline and gave excellent input and suggestions as to how to keep the night running smoothly. I have experience in event planning and could tell right away that this caterer was going to knock it out of the park. Choosing Morton's was one of the easiest and best decisions we made.
For cocktail hour we had the feta dip, veggies and green goddess dip and cheese and crackers. For dinner we chose a buffet with prime rib, chicken vesuvio, roasted redskins and green beans. The wedding was a few days ago and we have been getting nonstop calls and texts about how great the food was!
From a service perspective, we had a beer & wine cocktail hour and a full bar at the reception. The bartenders were enjoying their time and laughing with our guests and the servers were very friendly and kept the tables bussed throughout the night. They would even go to the table and refold your napkin and straighten your silverware when you left your seat. There were three things they did that went especially above and beyond any service I have ever encountered:
1. The CO2 for the kegerator wasn't working properly so John and Chris got some tools and figured out how to get it working before the guests, or I, knew there was a problem.
2.I had planned to have Sparty come to the reception as a surprise to our guests and the groom and gave Beth and her staff a heads up, but asked that they keep this a secret. I told my aunt about it so she could help hide Sparty when he got there and when she mentioned it to one of Beth's staff members they replied, "We know and we aren't allowed to talk about it."
3. I had emailed Beth about having blue cheese at only the head table for myself and the maid of honor, but it seemed like more of a pain so I told her not to worry about it. My salad ended up having crumbled gorgonzola anyway.
Between the mouthwatering food and the friendly, attentive staff, I would recommend Morton's to anyone for their event. Food and service are definitely something all of your guests will remember and having Beth's input on your timeline will ensure your wedding day goes smoothly and is stress free.
We used Morton's Fine Catering for our wedding and it was hands down one of the best choices we made for our event. From the consultation to the big day, Beth and her team were phenomenal to work with! We requested an entirely vegan menu and they surely delivered some of the most delicious menu items we've ever had! Even our most-carnivorous guests said they were impressed with what we had to offer! From set up to clean up, we didn't have to worry about a thing during our big day! The waitstaff even kept checking in on my groom and I throughout the night to make sure we were having a great time! We also used the bar service provided by Morton's and it was a hit! The coordination that it takes to pull off a big event is stressful enough- leave the more important factors to the professionals and your guests with leave with a very, VERY good taste in their mouth!
We loved our food from Morton's! It was very high quality! Brenda listened to our vision and worked with our budget to make it exactly what we wanted. On top of that, the servers were also amazing! The presentation of the food was beautiful. Thank you, Morton's!
The appetizers and food were all delicious... but we were most impressed with all their staff! So friendly and were on top of everything. The servers were really good and the bartenders were some of the best we've seen. Having this vendor at your wedding will ensure things will go so smooth!!
I truly cannot say enough good things about Morton's. The owners, Beth and John, were helpful, organized, and had great suggestions that helped us plan an even better wedding day. On top of that, their food was fantastic and they were so accommodating - they listened to our requests and helped us find ways to incorporate exactly what we wanted. Their staff at the wedding was professional, discrete, and yet very friendly. At the wedding, the food came out quickly and cooked perfectly. My now-husband and I had a unique wedding venue and do not live in Michigan (both of which I was worried about creating issues with catering), but neither of those things were an issue at all with Morton's! We used Morton's for catering and to staff the bar and I have to say, they exceeded all of our expectations from the quality of the food to the attitudes of the staff to the planning and organization of Beth, the owner. I would absolutely use them again and would recommend them to anyone in the area!
The food that Morton's provided was fantastic! I keep getting compliments about it! The wait staff and bar staff were more than amazing. They made sure everything ran smoothly, and made sure that the bride, groom, and parents sat down for at least a little while to eat :) I can't thank them enough for the great job they did.
My only complaint is that email communication is a quite slow and that can be stressful two weeks before your big day!
We selected Morton's to cater our reception and we could not have imagined a better partner! We tried some of the menu items before settling, which I would highly recommend because they offer such a variety. Our guests are still talking about the bruschetta and tortellini with hazelnut cream sauce!
Morton's staff went above and beyond to locate table skirting for us (no charge) even though they don't use skirting anymore. They put out a lovely display of our homemade desserts (and the choc. covered strawberries they prepared).
The service was excellent.
We used Morton's for our recent wedding and were very pleased with the food and the service we received. Bethany met with us and answered all our questions. She was very knowledgeable and made great suggestions. The staff we had were all very professional and the little touches really made the difference for us. For example, as guests went to the buffet to get their dinner, the staff cleared their table, freshened water glasses, refolded napkins, etc... it was the little things like that that assured us we had made the right choice in a caterer!!
Beth Morton and her staff at Morton's Fine Catering were great to work with, and our food was delicious! We chose to do a buffet with two meats and one vegetarian dish, which cost $23.50/person. We also had Morton's provide our appetizers. Our wedding guests raved about the food, and my husband and I have already eaten many of the leftovers because they are so good. Beth was very easy to work with, and was flexible and attentive to our specific questions and requests. I'd highly recommend Morton's.
We chose Morton's due to the fact that the linens, china, glassware and flatware were included in the price per head and our particular venue required us to provide all of those items. We opted to do a buffet, and that included family style salad and bread. The food and service provided by Morton's was so far beyond what I had expected! The servers even refolded napkins and refilled water glasses as tables went up to the buffet. I feel like we got absolutely incredible service and food at such a reasonable prices.
We also hired our bartender through Morton's and he did a wonderful job. Morton's was terrific!
We hired Morton's after attending a friend's wedding and enjoying their food. Our wedding had approximately 80 guests and we had the Taste of Michigan menu that Morton's offered. The food was really good and very fresh. Loved the white bean bruschetta, pork dish with mushrooms, and the Michigan cherry chicken. They had amazing chocolate covered strawberries as well. The staff was very prompt at serving and clearing dishes. Everyone was very professional. Beth does a great job at picking things that go very well together. Everything had such great flavor and was really well prepared. They were also very accommodating when we originally thought we would have vegans attending. They had good vegetarian options and were willing to work out options for a dairy allergy. My only very minor negative comment was that they cleared the appetizers too quickly and some of the wedding party didn't get to enjoy them - but we also didn't communicate that we would have liked them left out. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. We also hired their staff to bartend because our venue allowed us to bring our own alcohol. The bartender was wonderful as well.
I would say it was hard for me to keep track of the details and understand how each thing would be priced out. If you are working with a coordinator - I'm sure everything will go just perfectly, but I felt that because many of our communications were in pieces here and there, a few small details fell through the cracks. I expect this is pretty normal. It did not overshadow that we had exactly the food we wanted, everything tasted great, the service was great.
Overall, we received a lot of complements - thank you, Morton's!
The owner (Bethany) is great to work with and the food is amazing. The only thing I was not 100% satisfied with is the bartenders. They told us we needed to buy more alcohol before the wedding even started and then we had way too much left over and a wasted keg. They also kept telling people we didn't have orange juice (I am guessing they couldn't see it) and then we had 5 gallons of orange juice to take home. The food was so good and we had so much left over and I wish we could have boxed some left overs up to take back to the hotel but they do not allow it.
In a word, AMAZING. Morton's food is delicious and the staff is incredible. We had a special request to serve our meals family style, which Morton's accommodated without issue. We received a ton of compliments from our friends and family regarding how much they enjoyed the meal and particularly how great the servers were. Most importantly, Morton's created a generous menu (complete with appetizers) within our budget.
I took a big risk switching caterers a few months before our recent wedding from across the country. After a phone conversation with the friendly head chef, a look at their packages (which would save extra money based upon the linens, place settings & coffee included), and a look at their on line reviews....I booked Morton's. This is the only regret I have about our wedding day.
I should have trusted my gut when I showed up for the tasting and they served us 3 dishes with nuts, after a conversation I had about this being a nut-free meal, due to my allergies. The scalloped potatoes were so good I was willing to give it another go....what a mistake.
The afternoon of our wedding, apparently the staff ran into problems with the water line during set up for our outdoor reception. They never contacted our agreed upon list of on site contacts to make us aware of the problem. We could have fixed the water with a quick call.
After we were introduced to our wedding party we quickly realized no water had been served to any of our guests and in fact, there were no water glasses. Long story short....I talked to the staff member in charge on site. She was extremely rude to me (the bride) in front of my entire bridal party (and guests for that matter....) and blamed all problems on my mother in law. Woah. I asked her for solutions and not finger pointing, and she walked away, problem unresolved. I looked over at a table full of elderly guests with nothing to drink furious and sad. My bridal party went out and purchased more liquor to make up for the lack of water. Luckily we purchased 3 cases of bottled water (just in case) and began serving this to guests....straight out of the bottle.
The food served was okay. And yes, nut free. They also completely forgot the coffee service included in our package and the milk I requested to serve with the cake.
We also hired Morton's to staff our bar. The bartender did not follow the drink recipes for our signature cocktails (displayed on custom signs on the bar), or have drinks poured out in advance as I had discussed with the owner. During our water crisis, my matron of honor promptly began opening bottles of wine and serving drinks on trays while the bartender watched.
I have exchanged emails with the owner since the wedding. She apologized and refunded 50% of the labor fee, the cost of the water glasses, and coffee service. While I appreciate the credit, a couple hundred dollars can't make up for the embarrassment and stress we experienced on our big day. I just relived the stress looking at photos taken during the meal. This company is lacking serious attention to detail. I wish we would've stuck with the other caterer.
I used Morton's for my wedding, and the experience wasn't great. Beth was very responsive at first, when I was looking into using them, but after booking she seemed to fall off the face of the earth. It was very difficult to get ahold of her and I had a very hard time working on things with her until right before the wedding. They made it very difficult for us to set up a tasting, which was very important to us, and were reluctant to make us the dishes we wanted to try. On the day of the event, there were a few mistakes in our food, and I was shocked that when we told Beth, her first reaction was to say that was how we had wanted it instead of just to take steps to fix the mistake. I will say that the food (that was correct) tasted great! They certainly make delicious food, but the struggle to get good service didn't make it worth it for me.
We used Mortons for our recent wedding, they where fantastic! Bethany made everything so easy and was truly wonderful to work with! The Food Tasted Absolutely amazing, i have found that when i go to wedding the food tends to be dry due to being made in bulk, this was NOT the case with Bethany! All of our food was cooked fresh, tasted amazing, and was a great value! We Received SOOOOOO many compliments on how delicious our wedding food was from our guests! Mortons Catering hires great workers, they where prompt and helpful, went out of their way to take care of all requests, and where very nice people!
We had a great menu to choose from and even went to a tasting to try their food. We were very impressed! The food itself was amazing, the presentation was great, and ALL of our guests has great comments! We had Morton's cater for us at the Lakeview Banquet Center where we had family style dining for 140 people. Our dinner included salad, bread, chicken marsala and beef tenderloin with loaded smashed potatos and a vegetable meadly. Everything was great. Mortons also cut our cake for us and delivered slices to our guests. Everyone was very pleased!
In every way, Bethany and her staff went above and beyond our expectations. First and foremost, the food was spectacular.....fresh, hot and delicious. The staff was very courteous, professional and willing to help with anything.
I highly recommend Morton's for any event and would absolutely use them again when I need a caterer.
