I booked all party catering over 1 year in advance for my wedding, and was pleased with the whole process, communication etc. unfortunately the night of my wedding didn't go anything like I had hoped for. We were supposed to have food for 175 guests, however, about 20 minutes into my reception my coordinator informed me that the caterer stated they only brought enough food for 150 "but it should be enough".. my coordinator also informed me that she had to use the venues disposable napkins and utensils to make up for what they didn't bring. I didn't worry about it, I knew there were people who didn't end up showing up so I just hoped it would run smoothly and we would have enough. Shortly after, I find out the food has run out and my guests are being served just rice. I called José to find out what happened because he was not at the wedding serving food and he argued with me stating that they did bring food for 175. I let him know that the servers already told us right off the bat that they brought food for 150 and about the issue with the utensils but he insisted they did bring for 175. About 40 out of my 165-175 guests did not get to eat, and I had to rush to order pizza- because it was the quickest option- to make sure everyone got to eat something. Meanwhile, Jose is calling me and texting me, telling me to count the plates and do a headcount of my guests - all during my wedding reception. When Jose called to go over the order a few days prior to my wedding, one of the first things he said to me was "and we still have 150 guests?" But the thing is we never had a 150 guest count.. we booked for 175 from the very beginning. This obviously should have been a red flag. This whole ordeal really threw off my wedding night (temporarily- I did not let it ruin my day) and took away a good 45 min or so of my time trying to get it sorted out. This was really just so embarrassing for me as the host, and I felt terrible for my guests who didn't get to eat. And what makes me feel worse is there is a similar reveiw from less than 1 month ago from another bride who had the same problem.. I wish I had seen that before. read more
