I’ve waited a couple of months before writing this review so it could be more factual and less emotional; it’s still fresh, however.
I wish I could say that Sun In My Belly provided us with an amazing and delicious catering experience, but the ...truth is that we were sorely disappointed. Our first meetings and tastings with SIMB were phenomenal--they were flexible, accommodating and seemed committed to creating a menu that reflected our cultures while still fitting our budget. However, about five months before the wedding, we stopped receiving any communication from them. Initially, I chalked it up to a busy wedding season, but as time passed and we still received no word from them confirming our menu, design session, or answering our questions, I started to get worried. Calls and emails went unanswered for over two months, with no explanation. When we finally did get in touch with them, we were told that there were staffing issues and that everything was on course. Yet even after our design meeting, we had difficulty getting in touch with the team to confirm the walkthrough date and to make last minute tweaks to the menu. When a team member finally answered and confirmed that they would make it to the walkthrough, they arrived late and with a total lack of familiarity with us or with our event, leading to confusion as to what would be provided on our wedding day (which was at this point two weeks away). On our actual wedding day, staff set up the tables incorrectly and our coordinator had to arrange for a last minute switch. The food that was served was not the food we selected during our tastings--instead of authentic Spanish paella served in Spanish-style paella pans, we got more of a jambalaya-type rice served in a chafing dish. The sides were nothing like what we had tasted and despite several meetings discussing family food allergy concerns, the passed appetizers were not modified to meet the requirements. Had we not asked wait staff, a family member might have had an allergic reaction. After allotting most of our budget to what we were led to believe would be high quality food, we were disappointed in the lack of quality and professionalism at Sun In My Belly.
