If I could give 0 stars I would.
But I would give Savannah 4 stars, she was amazing until about the month of the wedding she was very hard to get ahold of, didn’t even call my venu...
e I had to call her at my rehearsal to get ahold of her; but she did go above and beyond for a lot of extra decor for me so I am thankful.
They forgot an entire pasta bar for
My wedding, never once was this communicated to me- I only found out the next day when my guests mentioned it… why would you not find me and tell me? The owner refunded me $600 out of
5k.. what a joke
Also they put my charcuterie board outside knowing it was the last week in June so flies were everywhere and it was barely touched. My food also looked nothing like the tasting
Also before the headcount of the deadline I told them I had 20 less guests than I originally quoted- I also never got a refund on that amount
I could go on and on- but do your research, they seem great in the beginning… would NOT recommend
It’s taken me sixth months to even write this review. Truly such a horrible experience. To sum it all up the decor, flowers and food were all wrong. And to top it all off our plann...
er didn’t show up for the rehearsal or the day of the wedding. My photographer had to hold my photos due to them not being paid by TOTT. The two checks that they gave bounced before they finally received payment over a month after the wedding. We were supposed to have a Photo Booth that printed photos for guest and we got a janky backdrop with a crooked iPad on a tripod and no printed photos. Please please please save yourself the heartache. The only thing that saved the day was the fact that I got to marry my husband.
We recently had the pleasure of working with Talk of the Town Catering for our wedding, and the experience was nothing short of culinary magic. From start to finish, their communic...
ation and attention to detail were outstanding, making our special day a true feast for the senses.
The communication with Savanah, and Talk of the Town was seamless and reassuring. They were responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. The collaborative planning process felt like a partnership, and it was clear that they were committed to making our wedding day as delicious and memorable as possible.
Now, let's talk about the food! Oh, the food—every bite was a celebration of flavor. The New Orleans-inspired menu was a delightful twist that added a touch of soul to our celebration. From the savory etouffee to the perfectly seasoned steak, each dish transported us to the heart of the Big Easy. It wasn't just a meal; it was a culinary journey that left our taste buds dancing with joy.
But it didn't stop there. The customized drinks were a highlight of the evening. The mixologists at Talk of The Town crafted cocktails that perfectly complemented the richness of the cuisine. We especially loved the staff who worked our event, who ensured we had a glass of our his & hers cocktail as soon as we finished the ceremony. Our bartender, Paulina, was so fun and so personable - we loved her!
What truly stood out was the dedication of the team to ensuring that every guest had a memorable dining experience. The presentation was as impressive as the taste—each dish was a work of art on the plate. It's clear that Talk of The Town takes pride in not only serving delicious food but also in creating an immersive culinary experience.
Talk of the Town exceeded our expectations and played a significant role in making our wedding day a delicious success!
Absolutely FABULOUS! Food was wonderful, staff amazingly helpful. Great feedback from guests re the food. Simply a joy working with them - responsive, respectful, helpful. Our orig...
inal caterer backed out a few months before event and we found them on line search. Best decision to grab them. Cost was reasonable and even less expensive than other caterer. Quality of food was top notch. If I knew they also did event coordinating, I would have gone with them. They also do chair rental - which we used. I would use them again in a heartbeat for another function.
So I have many mixed feelings when it comes to how our experience was with talk of the Town- Tampa Bay. My wedding planner had never worked with them but they gave us a great deal ...
including apps, buffet dinner, bar service (8 hours), and a photo booth set-up for a great price. What made me give them a 4/5 stars was the issues we ended up having with the catering director. There was a change in staffing a few weeks before my wedding, which made me very nervous, and it ended up being for a reason. She had no idea what was going on, even after we had a meeting she was trying to get us to pay more for the bar service that we already paid off and she even at one point refused to make our signature drinks if we didn't provide our own lime juice....seriously. The saving grace for this company is the owner, Steve, he is great and very responsive and the events director, Savanah, she is so sweet and works very hard. The food was out of this world, many of my guests came up to my husband and I to let us know it was the best wedding food they ever had and the bartender we had was amazing! Overall, our experience was good for the most part, if we didn't have the switch of catering directors I think things would've been better leading up to the wedding but the execution, food, and drinks were really amazing. I would recommend them, just be sure to get everything you have in a final contract in case there is another staff change, you don't want to have any loose ends and not get the tings you were promised.
Such an amazing company. From start to end they were always there and so easy to communicate with. I am so happy that I found them. If you looking for a Catering and Event company ...
