Swan's Landing Catering

ey took care of before we asked. Having decorations, flowers and food checked off the to-do list in one afternoon was wonderful! Attention to detail in all areas was amazing. They made us feel like family and worked to make the days as perfect as possible! Presentation on both the rehearsal and reception was exceptional. The food tasted fantastic! Several guests commented on the "incredible" salad bar. Even the venue owners said the decorations were the prettiest they had seen! The bride and groom's mother both have life-threatening food allergies. Kathy and her crew made sure all food served was safe for both! Servers and staff were professional and friendly.

mazing, the decorations and handmade signs were all great touches to my wedding. They were easy to work with and very accommodating. They met with me numerous of times to finalize what I wanted. The workers that helped the day of my wedding were just wonderful as well. They did so much work behind the scenes to set up and allow me to be stress free. Linda and Sherri were amazing and I’m so thankful for them. I would recommend them to anyone who is planning a wedding.

ing payment when she had me confused with another bride. -Decor items of mine were taken and we had to drive an hour to get them after our wedding. -The decorating crew showed up 3 hours late to set up the day before the wedding. -The napkin color that decorating crew brought the day before was off by about 5 shades. Linda promised she would have the correct color for the day of. We ended up just having tan napkins. Linda admitted that she never ordered the color that was agreed upon months prior. -All items provided by Swans Landing (decor, drinks, and plates) were taken down 2 1/2 hours early. It is their policy that they will not take down until verbally being told to by the bride or a member of the family. Instead, they snuck out which explains why items that were not theirs were taken. My guests had no way of eating dessert or getting a non-alcoholic drink because all non-alcoholic beverages, glassware, and silverware was to be provided by Swans Landing. When this was brought up to Linda she informed me that the guests “could have just went to the bar for a drink.” I even reached out to the owner and they refuse to give us any bit of our money back. Definitely not the service we expected when paying $24 per person. Very disappointing.

ife. Since we had a Victorian Style Wedding, the people at Swans made sure everyone feel as though they were in the same setting and made every person who attended feel important. I HIGHLY regard this group for your next event!

eryone was pleased compliment galore it couldnt of been more perfect for us she did a fantastic job i would recommend if u want it to be special day call her and keep i. mind when ur booking catering you are not the only event they may have i did catering for several years befor i was a car hauler and linda went out of her way for us she is sweet lady who i believe wants ur day to be beautiful and everything it could be so keep in mind alot of hard work goes in to planning these things and if u dont have the patience no kne will please you any way so please use her and treat her with respect bc she has the best of intentions and works very hard

, and decor. Linda was open to my ideas and would also make suggestions to further enhance the experience at the reception! It was a joy bouncing ideas around. Their florist, Ralph, is extremely talented and created very beautiful arrangements for my wedding. He listened to my ideas to create the perfect bouquet for me. It far exceeded my expectations when I first laid eyes on them! On the day of the reception, Swan's Landing's chef, Kathy, took lead of the on-site team providing an excellent dinner service and diligent cleanup at the conclusion of the event. The team was always polite and helpful - great communication the entire time. While the dinner service was buffet-style, they were so thoughtful to make a plate for my husband and I, to ensure that we ate! Many guests came up to me throughout the reception, commenting on the delicious food and how elegant the venue was decorated.

beyond to make you feel special. I would recommend Linda and Swans to ANYONE looking for a laid back, thoroughly detailed, picture perfect wedding. See her Facebook page for some pictures from my wedding, which she hosted on her property at Swans Landing. https://www.facebook.com/swanslanding/

hands, and we were not disappointed. Ralph’s flowers were exquisite- a visual and sensory delight. Our venue was our church Fellowship Hall, but it looked so much more regal and beautiful! Our guests loved the food. Our daughter was so happy that our special day was one to remember!

ook beautiful with their decorations and taste yummy with their food :)

ircle of duties. All of my guests raved about their food, especially the KY Hot Brown dip. Their staff was wonderful. Highly recommend Swan's and if I could do it again I wouldn't used them for my entire wedding (linens, flowers, food, the whole thing)!!

Swan's with every little detail because no matter how many times you explained what you wanted, they failed to write it down. We went through numerous contracts because they always forgot to include something. Swan's also tried to add charges to the contract that were not discussed or agreed upon. They were quick to remove these charges when it was pointed out to them.

I had planned or expressed. The decor wasn't exactly as I had specified, the "pretty drink containers" were forgotten (my guests ended up serving themselves drinks out of the bottle from a movable cart placed in the middle of the floor), the chalkboard signs I had asked for were not used, the set up for the ceremony was not as I had specified (wanted the "ugly stage" covered with pipe & drape or by our tent; it wasn't). In the beginning of planning stages, everyone wanted to help & was very attentive; towards the end, everyone was too busy...emails/texts didn't get returnedand we were passed from one person to the next. Overall, not what I had hoped for or expected

tful about who I was, what elements my wedding consisted of, etc. She took days to return phone calls or emails and I constantly had to remind her who I was and what I was talking about. The time when Linda is best at reaching you is when she would like a payment. And be VERY CAREFUL looking at every bill you get because I had to make corrections several times. My travel fee had tripled at one point as their prices are constantly changing (increasing). Swans has a MASSIVE amount of inventory & if they don't have it they can tell you where to get it if they can't make it. They also do a MASSIVE amount of events which means customer service goes out the window. While Swans was able to provide the linens and china I wanted, I was not provided the customer service I expected. Linda's staff will even tell you they are stretched to the max doing too many events. The food the day of the wedding was just about exactly as I had sampled it at Linda's shop. We chose a simple menu to be sure of foods would stay hot and did a salad buffet. Our signature drink made by Linda's kitchen staff was also wonderful! My second or third meeting at Swans I met with the florist (Sheila). We went over the corsages, bouquets & centerpieces. We talked about the flowers I didn't like and the ones I absolutely had to have. However a couple weeks before the wedding I was told someone had taken over the centerpiece portion of my event. We used mason jars with floating candles and wine bottles (we had to provide these) with hydrangea, belles of Ireland and some awful flower they suggested (I should have looked into before going with them). Let's just say the day of the wedding they were wrong. The color of the flowers were wrong, the ribbon was wrong & the flowers I had specifically asked for were NOT included at all. After the wedding I emailed Linda with my concerns & she said that my mother was informed by the florist that my flowers couldn't be ordered & that she felt as though they substituted as well as possible. My mother, however, was NOT informed of this. There was never a phone call or email to myself or my mother in regards to the flowers. Though my bouquets and corsages were pretty they were completely WRONG! The day of the wedding my on-site contact was Greg. First of all the tables were set up incorrectly because Linda didn't give them our floor plan and he complained when we told him that things needed to be moved. Greg was friendly on the phone when he had questions for me the WEEK OF the wedding - he was my 3rd florist - but was rude to my mother, mother-in-law, guests and myself the day of the wedding. He came to me as my husband as we were waiting to be introduced at the reception & said (rudely) we had too many guests & we would have to help people find seats. As we greeted guests we found that everyone had seats & some to spare. They ran out of silverware & Greg got an attitude with guests waiting for cake. Overall, Swans has a TON of décor to offer and for everything you receive for the money, they are a good deal. BUT, if you can't handle the stress of being on top of everything on your own I would look for someone else. IF you use them you must get a coordinator!

ers (including my bouquet) for less than what some caterers had quoted us for food alone. The service with Swan's Landing was also outstanding. The employees were helpful and fun, some even dancing during our reception. Linda was always willing to answer any questions we had. I would absolutely use Swan's Landing again and strongly recommend them to other brides in the area looking for quality, service, and affordability!!

me and it really put a damper on everything. If I could do it all over again I would not have used them. To make a long story short, they have more work than they can handle and someone will get the short end of the stick. Let's hope its not you.

d. Swan's Landing also took care of decorating for my reception and it looked classy and elegant. They are called the wedding specialists for a reason! Through their company I chose a package that also included an outsourced florist and wedding coordinator in addition to the decorating and food. It was so nice to have one company take care of almost everything at the reception. I never had to worry about a thing, everything was set up when I got there and cleaned up after I left. The service was impeccable and the little touches put them ahead of any other caterer I have ever worked with. Since the wedding I have had many of my friends ask me who catered the wedding and wanted to use them at their upcoming events as well. I can't say enough about their professionalism, attention to detail, organization, and overall positive attitude and atmosphere. I would not hesitate to use Swan's Landing again in the future!

ommend using this group on your special day!

ther amazing arrangments. Bernadette and Lisa also worked with me as my wedding coordinators and I could not have made it without their help. Would HIGHLY recommend Linda and her team from Swan's Landing.

tion hall.

l ideas. She is more than willing to work within your budget, and the food is absolutely fabulous! She called me several times in the days before the wedding to see if I needed anything, to see if I had any questions, and just to see what she could do to help me out. She encouraged me to call her at anytime if I had questions and concerns. She is wonderful to work with. And did I mention how fabulous the food was? I've had a ton of compliments from numerous people. My daughter's wedding day couldn't have been any more perfect, and Linda played a huge role in that. I love also that she goes around taking pictures of the day, from her perspective, and I can't wait to see the big day from her perspective. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone, and am hoping I have another event come up in the future so I can use her services again!

ect on your special day! They have everything you want (and if not she will order it). Theresa did an excellent job on all the floral arrangements and the bouquets were stunning. Visit Swan's Landing and you will agree with the reviews!!!
