    We hired Sara to cater our wedding at the end of October 2024. Don't be fooled by her small…read moreoperation--she is cooking up magic in that van of hers. Our venue highly recommended Sara. From the moment we met with her, it was apparent that she was professional and knowledgeable. She was extremely helpful during the early phases of wedding planning. She helped us navigate many of the early questions and concerns we had about the catering, cutlery, linens, and more. Sara's incredible menu selection blew us away. Her offerings covered many different cuisines - from Asian, Italian, and BBQ to traditional. We went through many different versions of our buffet menu before finally nailing everything down. With her extensive menu, we were confident we could decide on a menu that appealed to everyone on our guest list. It's one thing to taste her incredible food--it's another to see it for yourself. What sets Sara apart is her unbelievable displays! A week before the wedding, she reached out to me to ask about my color scheme, and when I saw pictures of the cocktail hour, I saw she had incorporated the colors into her display using stunning flowers and greenery. Instead of laying the soft pretzels we ordered on a white platter, she hung them on a metal pole. Everything else was artfully scattered on wooden platters to match the rustic nature of our venue. It elevated our cocktail hour to a level you would only find in a movie! As beautiful as the food was, it was even more amazing to finally taste it! The pot roast melted in your mouth, the carrots came with a fantastic glaze (people are still telling us how much they loved them), and the seasonal vegetables were outstanding. Typically, wedding food is very forgettable, but the number of wedding guests who continue to tell us how phenomenal the food was is still mind-blowing! We could not recommend Sara and her catering services enough! You are definitely in good hands!

    They did our late October wedding at Pinerock Farm. We spent over $22,000.00 for the catering. The…read morebride and groom had worked with Sara to chose their foods, but the parents paid the bill. I called Sara months in advance, after reading the contract and seeing they provide no plates or flatware to eat with! This was a black tie wedding, so beware, if you don't catch this, with this caterer, there is no dish service...you will spend thousands renting and I hope you enjoy setting tables and washing dishes. I had asked Sara, again, months in advance, if it would be possible to provide that service(setting the tables) at extra cost and had to wait a few days for her to call me back stating that she found staff to do these tasks. I was quite relived. I also asked about adding coffee and tea service and she advised me on the type of cups to purchase. On wedding day, the ladies (moms and bridesmaids) were gathered at the barn for hair and make-up. I noticed pallets of dishes and no one setting up. I contacted her and she texted me that it was not in the contract and no one was coming!!!! I missed my own hair/make-up scrambling to find help setting the formal china, crystal place settings for 170 people!! It was extremely stressful!!! It took two hours to do and caused me a lot of stress. Later, the food was served on icy cold plates, sauces congealing on contact. Many guests commented on this. At dessert, no coffee service appeared even though the cups and accessories were laid out. When I approached to ask when the coffee service would be out (guests were asking me) she pulled a paper from her pocket and waved that in my face informing me that she did not work for me, she worked for the bride. It was a twisted knife in the gut and her snarky demeaner and smirk were disgusting!!! Maybe her head is getting too big, she likely just forgot to add the items to the contract and could not take responsibility for her mistake. Instead Sara took away from my thorough enjoyment of my son's wedding. So no, I would not recommend this business, which thinks it's better than the customer. Her service was FAR FROM exquisite!!! Sara needs to learn what customer service is. You can't skate on your prior reviews forever.

    Sarah and Shaunden were a dream to work with. From the first meet up, they were bursting with…read moreexcitement over our vision, already brainstorming how to make it happen. They researched, emailed, called, collected proposals, and vetted every vendor before presenting us options. They handled all communication and coordination with vendors all the way up to the wedding day. These two have such a feel for design. They used colors, textures, lighting, and accents to create the overall "modern boho, earthy vibe", we envisioned. They captured the very essence of our personalities, it was literally "so us!" Our favorite part of the planning process was our dinner & drinks where we hung out for hours catching up and discussing wedding plans. We became genuine friends throughout our time working together. They were always a text or call away. Sarah even saved the day when 2 vendors backed out, due to covid, a week before the wedding. A situation that would have made any couple breakdown, Sarah was quick to suggest solutions and had everything back on track by the end of the day!! Everything they did was absolutely above and beyond. Everything they touched turned to gold. IRIE was worth every cent we spent.
