The Happy Catering Company

ional and very responsive!

ch!

e our 270 guests dinner and drinks from the bar. I wish I could give a glowing review but unfortunately, that is NOT the case. The caterers ran out of one of the (2) main course items on the buffet (roast beef sliders), an hour after the reception began. The catering “captain” did not inform the wedding planner about this and there was no additional food made until we asked they bring in some sort of substitution. As for the bar, well here goes: We were told that (2) bars and (3) bartenders would be enough to keep things flowing smoothly. We had beer, wine, champagne, Margaritas (pre-mixed in decanters by the bar staff) and a REALLY NICE bourbon. The catering staff did not bring enough coolers and ice to chill the beer and we had to ask two of our guests (good friends) to go get two more coolers. The bartenders were told the bourbon was for a select few and could only be served neat or on the rocks to make sure it was enjoyed by our more MATURE guests and not poured too heavily. They ignored this and OVER SERVED several of the TWENTY-SOMETHINGS at the party. We provided the tequila and margarita mixer for the bar and gave mixing instructions to the bar staff. When one of our guests wanted a margarita, the bartender said she didn’t know how to make them and asked our guest if SHE knew. Then, a bartender proceeded to take a USED glass, did not empty it or get a NEW one, and rimmed it on the salt rimmers that were used for all the guests! A VERY UNSANITARY PRACTICE! Additionally, we had a bartender attempt to shut down his bar early when we ran low on beer, even though we still had wine, champagne, margaritas and bourbon at that bar. There was no attempt to proactively communicate any of these issues to the wedding planner or the hosts. The leftover food was not boxed up and given to us as promised. We did not get any of the bourbon back even though we know there were AT LEAST 2 bottles left. When we contacted them about the disappointing service, we were met with a total unwillingness to accept any responsibility whatsoever, and even hostility. As I said before, I had hoped to give Happy Catering a stellar review, but I cannot. My husband and I were expecting a flawless, issue-free celebration of our daughter’s marriage and that is not what we received. We only wanted to post this review to better inform potential consumers. In other words, buyer beware!

ust say it was PERFECT! Their staff are beyond nice, professional, helpful.

hey were like pot roast. Extremely overdone. The staff hurried our guest in finishing their food. After the wedding we voiced our concerns over the food and the owner was extremely rude. He defended his food although every single guest complained that it was overdone. The owner also added 40 extra salads, extra linens and extra staff that I did not ask for and sent me the bill for it. Do not use them!

and it wasnt even remotely similar. The steaks were dry and well done. Guests complained and said they were shocked this was the food that we chose. Happy Catering's response was well sorry no one complained to us. TERRIBLE! Would never recommend them to anyone.

fice to quality, which is certainly a plus. Happy also provides for a private dinner for the bride and groom following the ceremony, which was amazing. It was great being able to spend a few minutes alone before mingling with the guests. We had no less than 10 people come up to us during the reception and tell us what a great idea this is. Overall, I would highly recommend Happy Catering for a wedding.

en/waffles, fruit/veggies, gouda/candied pecans phyllo cups and their very delicious bacon cheese dip! It was all very good! The last two were my favorite! They prepared a table of food for us to have between the wedding and the reception..so we could have a moment to ourselves as well as to just eat! And they gave us a 'to go' engraved wooden box. They were very easy to work with too.

eet. They even set up a private dinner on the side so we could eat before we went into the reception. Everyone loved the food and the display was just beautiful. We even got to-go boxes to take with us! Absolutely loved working with them.

the set up was gorgeous.

ions for my wedding , and providing a terrific customer service the entire duration (even with my pre wedding jitters :)!). The team is not only caring and incredibly thoughtful, but also true professionals! They really listen to your wants and needs and go the extra mile to make your vision come true, no matter what budget you are working with. I can't think of a better catering vendor for my wedding, our family and guests still rave about the food!

us first hand for all of our suggestions, ideas, and even made our secret family punch for us for our cocktail hour!! Everyone raved about the food and service from their crew!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

, and it really showed. They were very familiar with our venue, and that made a huge difference as well. The food was great, and at a good price. Happy was there on the big day from start to finish, and we never could have pulled it off without them. We wish we had booked them in the first place... now we know!

. Their staff were excellent- we have received so many compliments on the food and service from the wedding!

out food at all. Then at the wedding the table was so beautiful!! I could not have imagined a prettier display of food. However, the best part about using Bill and his team is that they had a table set up for me and my new husband immediately after the wedding. Not only did it actually give us time to eat (which we wouldn't have had time for otherwise) but it also gave us a little time to soak everything in and enjoy being married :) Absolutely best decision I made during the wedding planning!

came from a box and were awful. They did not even include the sweet potatoes like we asked. Since we really wanted to do a potato bar, we asked our venue to have another tasting with the items re-done. I will say that since we had our tasting delivered and at dinner time, they included salad and dessert just to be nice! On our second tasting, the tenderlion was good but the potatoes were so salty and still not good. We ended up scratching the potato bar because we weren't going to serve it to our guests. With all that being said, the day of the wedding I was extremely happy with the food they did. I'll admit, I was nervous about how it was going to turn out, but it was great! The sliders we served toward the end of the night were amazing. The best thing about their food was the Teziki (sp?) sauce; it was outstanding! It is definitely a must-have if you go with them! The food was SO good! They really really impressed me! :)

iveness to any question or email I ever had, which is something you don't find often. They gave us great direction for creating a menu that was perfect for us. And the FOOD! Oh my goodness, I can't tell you how many people have raved over the food at our wedding (particularly the bacon wrapped shrimp!) and wanted to know who the caterer was. Thanks Happy for everything you did to make the process of planning a wedding so much more relaxed and for making my wedding day that much more special!

try their best to meet your every need and if they can't do it exactly, then they try whatever else they can to satisify you (the client).

ble the food was at my wedding. The serving staff was fun, energetic, and constantly filling up drinks and cleaning up plates. Everything was clean, neat, organized, and beautifully presented. The layout of food was beautiful and artistic that no centerpieces were needed. The owners also allowed us to work with them on adding our own spin to things as well as offered to help us find and work alongside other vendors we still needed. And above all, it tasted AMAZING. I couldn't have asked for a better caterer for my big day. The entire process was easy and flowed smoothly on our big day. Definitely a great decision and highly recommended.

ng! The food was wonderful as well as the presentation.

LOVED the food! and the presentation on the food! There was lots of food, and it was actually served the next day at a party of our friend(where everyone still loved it), and then also to the remaining family in town! We will be using them again! they were so professional and wonderful with us!! I have nothing but GREAT things to say about them!!

an the perfect menu. Everything was top-notch from the display to the service staff - and the food was absolutely delicious!! Our guests are still talking about the mashed potato bar! :)
