Long story short: PWAT is the perfect company to work with in this crazy world. We're so glad we booked with Chef Nat - she’s flexible, creative, and positive!
Long story long: we booked with Chef Nat for our May 2021 wedding in the spring, ba...ck when the pandemic seemed like it would be over in a few weeks. Looking back, I’m so glad we chose to work with PWAT over any of the other caterers we considered. Why? For SO MANY reasons!!
1) Chef Nat’s flexibility. When we decided to consider a 30-person backyard wedding instead of a 120-person event, Nat was super flexible and happy to continue working with us. When other caterers might have balked, she modified our contract to suit our needs and immediately shared ideas on how to best use our limited backyard space and make it beautiful.
2) Chef Nat’s can-do attitude! We live out of state, and haven’t been able to travel home to PA during the pandemic until recently. By the time we had made it home and self-isolated for 2 weeks, we only had a few days left in our visit. To accommodate our wish to do a socially distanced tasting, Chef Nat CAME TO MY BACKYARD with a mini kitchen setup and tons of prepared ingredients, and cooked everything in front of us! We got to enjoy Nat’s fabulous culinary expertise (and delightful company) in the comfort of our own backyard. She even plated everything beautifully (flowers, sauce drizzles, adorable tiny spoons) to give us the full experience. It must have taken her hours to prepare that setup, but she made it happen so that we could taste our menu during our brief visit home. Plus, she had prepared dishes to accommodate the dietary restrictions on our guest list. She absolutely WOWED us, and we had so much fun getting to know her!
3) Chef Nat’s creativity. While we loved the station-style menus PWAT offered initially, many options were off the table due to guests’ dietary restrictions. When we weren’t jazzed about everything on our menu, Nat asked us what we would be excited about. A few days later she presented a totally new menu that we were absolutely salivating over!
4) Chef Nat’s secure COVID-19 protocols. After watching Nat prepare our menu and hearing about how she has been making things work during the pandemic, I trust in her ability to safely cater our wedding next spring, even if the pandemic is still going strong.
Pandemic wedding planning can be stressful, but working with Nat has been an absolute pleasure. Basically, if you’re worried about choosing a caterer during a global pandemic, PWAT is the way to go. Or, if you’re not worried, PWAT is still the way to go!
