dding planning that felt like pulling teeth to communicate with them. We were originally going to do food and bar with them but our venue ended up getting their liquor license and having the bar go through them, but Patricia's made quick changes to our quote. We also decided to do a large charcuterie for our cocktail hour and worked all of that out within the last few weeks leading up to the wedding, and Sarah was great about giving suggestions for serving sizes and everything! The food at the reception was even better than what we tried at our tasting. I had people going up for seconds and people coming up to me that told me they would eat the loaded potato bake alone for a meal - which I agree, it was delicious! I would highly recommend them for your catering needs!!

th them, and they answered all the questions we had. We even had a couple of last-minute changes that they agreed to do with no problems at all! We had several people attending our wedding that needed specific gluten-free meals, and they were able to make completely separate plates for them at no extra charge. The food was also incredible! A lot of the other caterers that we had tested were good, but they just tasted like typical wedding reception food. You could really tell that Patricia’s goes above and beyond in the quality and taste of their food. My only critique was that even as the first ones of the night to eat, the food was a little bit cold, but that was easy to overlook with how delicious it was. They even offered a service to us for cutting the cake at no additional charge, we would highly recommend them!

I was so thankful for the smooth process and the amazing amount of food you are provided for a very reasonable price. I would recommend to anyone on the fence or looking for a caterer.

actually had Patricia's cater our rehearsal dinner as well - we did a taco bar with servers and a bar tender, but we provided our own alcohol. So worth it! Also, Sarah was amazing to work with - truly made it an easy process. We received compliments on the food at our wedding all night and still do! I never knew I would think about hiring a catering company for future random life events....but there were so many food options I still want to try I regularly consider going all out for my next birthday - food and service was that good!

They are very flexible with pricing/package options, dietary restrictions, and were always open/ready to adjust/discuss as needed.

Overall, could not have asked for a better experience for food, and I've definitely had "ok" to "bad" food experiences at weddings before.

with Patricia Catering. They were easy to work with, had an amazing selection, helped us customize exactly what we were looking for and blew us away with a delicious wedding meal. Every guest we spoke with said the food was outstanding (we opted for the Chicken Florentine and Italian Beef and Mac & Cheese) and that everything complimented each other wonderfully. Their years of experience and desire to provide a amazing product is evident every step of the booking through execution experience. We highly recommend Patricia and her team.

d had to make some last minutes changes and they made the changes with no problems. They were on time and set up on time. The day of the wedding we had a few problems. The food for dinner didn’t taste like the food tasting. Our parents paid extra to have corn on the cob, which they kept in the back until the green beans ran out first. Our parents had to specifically ask them to bring them out since it had been paid for. On our wedding menu that they provided, they did not have our correct names listed. They had a completely different couple’s name. My guests did say that the buffalo dip was very good. Overall, they provided great customer service minus the three problems that we had the day of the wedding.

rd nothing but compliments on our food - especially from our vegan/vegetarian guests. The cake was also divine (maybe 10 pieces total were leftover). My one frustration came towards the end when we got our invoices leading up to the wedding. The rental estimate went up considerably because they had to add a piece of equipment necessary to do a plated entree. We were able to pay it, but were just annoyed it wasn't included in the original estimate since they knew it would be plated from the beginning. That being said, the food was fantastic, the staff very patient and helpful during the planning process, and the wait staff at the event was very professional.

The potatoes were amazing, the gravy truly was delicious. The coleslaw we got was an amazing vinegar based slaw that was very good. The salad was a mixed green with apples, pears, walnuts and some great dressing. I cannot thank them enough for such an amazing meal! I would highly recommend Patricia's to anyone planning their wedding in the metro area!

I was so excited to find Patricia's when we were looking for a caterer for our wedding. My husband and I could not find anything we both liked until we got to Patricia's. Everythin...
g went fine until the day of the wedding. We had several problems.
1. I paid extra to have the waiters to operate a popcorn machine. They burnt every batch which made our reception smell like burnt popcorn the entire evening which is an awful smell. The payment included a cleaning afterwards which they refused to do until I threatened to call Patricia. When I went to return the machine I had to clean it there (or lose my deposit) because they said it was unacceptable.
2. The appetizers were burnt. We had drummetes and pastry wrapped asparagus. The underside of the puff pastry were black and rock hard.
3. We had the food served family style. The waiters became so confused that it took nearly 30 minutes for all 9 tables to get the overdressed salads and even longer for everyone to get the rest of the food. It took so long for the food that guests actually left before the entire meal was served.
4. I was told that the waitresses would cut the cake and put them on plates for everyone to choose from which nobody did. My mom actually had to cut the cake and serve them to our guests.
5. They tried to take our chair covers saying that they were rentals when in fact I actually bought them myself.
6. There was no management on site, just 2 or 3 waitresses.
My biggest problem is that when I was so impressed with the trial I thought that what I was going to get at the reception. I was disappointed and tried not to let it bother me but it was unfortunate. I think all of this could have been avoided if there was a manager on the floor rather than a few teenage waitresses. I was very disappointed between the burnt food, confused wait staff, and overall lack of professionalism in the service.
I didn't want to leave this review but thought that others would want to know when considering a caterer.
Response from Patricia Catering and Cocktails on 03/28/2016
Dear Friends and Patrons of Patricia Catering and Cocktails,
It has come to our attention...
that a negative review has been posted about our food and services.
Even though the reception in question took place 15 months ago we take all customer feedback very seriously.
This review is very disheartening to us since the items presented in the review are not accurate and do not represent the type of service we have provided for over 28 years.
We will continue to provide our customers with our excellent foods and services and we wish this couple and all our couples the best.
Sincerely,
Patricia Regan & the Crew at PC & C

Everyone at the reception loved the food and raved about it. We got a great price from Patricia Catering. The servers were very cheerful and helped us at every turn. Our bartend...
er was especially great and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the entire staff. During clean up at the end of the night, the staff still had smiles on their faces and answered all of our questions. My only complaint was having the catering company make the rental arrangements. Patricia Catering interacted with United Rent All and placed the order for our rental bill. We went to United Rent All and met with their personnel to make our choices for rental equipment. When I asked if we could reserve the items we chose, I was told Patricia Catering would place the order. When the chairs were delivered on the wedding day, they were not what we requested and when we picked up the vases for the florist, they were incorrect as well. The bill for the rental was not explained until a couple of days prior to the event and was not itemized.
All and all, I LOVED the catering service, I just would not recommend asking someone else to place your rental order.
