Selma's Catering

I waited a while to write this review because I wanted to make sure that it was fair but I also felt I should warn others of my experience. When looking for a caterer for my wedding, I went with Selma's because I had heard nothing but glowing reviews and pricing seemed very reasonable. However, if I were to change one thing about my wedding, it would be the caterer. 1) I didn't receive the final invoice until two weeks AFTER the wedding (while I was on my honeymoon)! I got a rough price break down ~9 months pre-wedding but it was for an entirely different menu/serving style and I had no idea how similar the pricing for my dinner would be. Menu and pricing were all supposed to be finalized a month prior to the wedding, but despite weeks of calling and emailing I still didn't how much I would have to pay. The week of my wedding I stopped by Selma's TWICE in an attempt to learn how much I was paying/actually pay her. I had even tried calling in advance hoping someone would be available but even when I showed up in person none of the employees knew how to help me. 2) They served multiple foods that I had requested not to have. I am not a picky eater at all but there were a couple of requests I had. One example: I wanted broccoli topped with shredded cheese not cheese sauce because I was worried about getting it on my dress. Guess who spent 15 minutes in the bathroom trying to get cheese sauce out of her dress? They also served the one type of cake I requested not to have. 3) The bartender approached me during dinner to tell me that we were almost out of alcohol. I couldn't fathom that my guests (who were all drinking rather lightly) had gone through most of the alcohol within 90 minutes but I recruited my father-in-law and he ran to the nearest liquor store and loaded up. Then the bartender comes back up to me and reports that he found the rest of the liquor in the kitchen and it turns out we had only gone through 1/4. Not only did this add a lot of unnecessary stress to the dinner but it caused my father-in-law to miss the cutting of the cake, first dance, and several other special moments. There were a few other mishaps along the way that I just shrugged off because things happen! Selma's did do a great job of setting everything up and cleaning at the end of the night. That being said, I was extremely disappointed in the communication and how the actual dinner went overall. I am glad that most people have great experiences with Selma's but, unfortunately, I can't foresee ever recommending her services.
