We used Brie catering for our wedding this year and they were just fabulous. First of all the food was fabulous and we received endless compliments. More importantly though, the staff is beyond helpful and kind. We ran into a couple hiccups after our wedding with miscommunications between vendors. When I told Brie our issues Brian responded immediately and fixed the issue. It is rare to find a caterer to take such care with each event. I highly recommend them! read more

Absolutely awful. Spent over $5,000 to cater our event. Met several times to ensure planning document was thoroughly filled out. Appetizers and drinks were 45 mins late even though Brie was at the venue 4 hours prior to start. After the 45 min late start, the food was also an hour late. The entrees were beautifully presented but taste awful. We received several complaints from guests about the walleye and chicken being undercooked. Would not recommend for any event! Extremely disappointed and let down by Brie catering. Meal and experience was hardly worth 20% of the bill. read more

We used Brie Cater for our wedding and their food was AMAZING! We had a plated dinner and also butler passed hors d'oeuvres; they were all amazing. The staff was very tentative and also let me (the bride) know when they were leaving. I can't say enough good things about them. We had multiple compliments and raves from the guests at our wedding regarding how great their food was. If you're between Brie and another company - choose Brie! You won't regret!! read more

Brie Cater - Caterers Near Me - West Saint Paul, Minnesota

In September we had a backyard wedding with tents, linens, dance floor and all. It was a magical day and we are so very grateful for Lettuce Cater and the fact they played a major part in pulling off an amazing evening. We have received many compliments on the food from our guests. The catering staff were wonderful and professional. Brian the chef was amazing and very flexible. Lettuce Cater was very easy to work with and the prices were very reasonable--especially considering the high quality of food. In fact, we were worried that the taste testing meal was too good to be true. Jules and Brian presented many tasty options that made it hard to decide on which we liked the best. I was sad to hear the Jules left the company a few months before our wedding. Especially after building a relationship over many phone and email conversations. However, when Kris took Jules place I was blown away by how sweet she was. She was responsive and helpful with all the many questions that came along the way. I only have positive things to say about our experience with Lettuce Cater. I feel that we don't have to promote Lettuce Cater to family and friends because the food and service spoke for itself on our wedding day. For all the local brides-to-be out there: I strongly recommend Lettuce Cater! read more

I had left this review on a wedding website in 2009, but the owner is disputing my review (below) without reason just this year. We used Lettuce Cater (now Brie Cater) for our wedding reception. I don't even know where to start with the bad, so I will start with the good. Our tastings were excellent. The food was completely amazing. That was all that we were happy with. The first time we met with the owner/head chef of Lettuce we thought he was great. Very personable and friendly. He bragged about how he was amazing with communication and always getting back to his clients as soon as he could. I was impressed. So we started the contract process. In truth, we had to draw up almost 20 contracts because whatever we agreed to verbally would never happen to make it into the contract. The owner was very agreeable over the phone, but he never would put anything in paper. All in all, we never really did get what we were asking for in our contract. I signed the contract noting that my signature was NOT valid unless the following was part of the contract: We would only pay per final head count on X day. The estimated number that we told him when first meeting him was the number he put on the contract and I wanted to be extra sure that we would only really be paying per person attending. He emailed that the contract was in place and I should send a deposit. We did. He did not send us a copy of the contract with his signature, which I deeply regret. After the contract was signed he and the RSVP cards were out with detailed menu choices (per the contract) the owner tried to change our menu up (cheaper food). On X day (6 days before our reception), I called with our final head count. He did not answer his phone (not at all a surprise to us) so I left a VM with the final count. He refused this entire business process to give us his cell phone number since he was always unreachable. He did not call for a couple days, so I tracked him down (this was not the first time that I asked for a response and had to track him down) he emailed me to tell me that he was upping the price per head because our numbers went down! I was furious but in a tough spot as obviously I did not want to make him mad and serve bad food (this was 4 days before reception), yet I did not feel that it was fair of him not honor a contract! I searched like a crazy woman for a new caterer, but with 4 days to go, I could not find one. I was willing to give up our entire contract because of the owner/ head chef of Lettuce Cater. The stress that he caused us was great and not something anyone should have to deal with. I did not ask anything of him that was unreasonable for our wedding and he really treated us like crap. We did end up paying his made up price and not the contract price. After the ceremony he gave us a cell phone number so we could make a prompt payment. read more

We had our wedding catered by Lettuce Cater (Brie Catering), and it was really wonderful. They were so accommodating -- most everything was vegetarian, vegan, and/or gluten free -- and it tasted delicious. The service was really wonderful too. I heard so many compliments on our food (my sister voted it "best cheese at a wedding!"), and the price point was perfect. I honestly think they could charge a little more for the quality of food, but I'm not complaining! read more

I would absolutely recommend Brie Cater! We used them for our December wedding at Lowertown Event Center and were thrilled with our experience with them. They were familiar with LEC as they have catered there many times, which was a relief that I didn't have to worry about them familiarizing themselves with the venue. Brian and Christina were so responsive and had wonderful customer service throughout my entire wedding planning process (which was a solid year and a half)! When we had the tasting with Brian, it made us even more excited to work with Brie! The food was delicious and the presentation was absolutely beautiful! I also loved how flexible he was with making changes to the food/presentation to make it coincide with my Winter wedding! The food at the wedding was just as good as in the tasting and all of our guests were raving on how delicious everything was (and how beautiful the plates were). The staff was amazing and so attentive to all my guests! The price worked well with my budget and the value that you get for what you pay is well worth it! Highly, highly recommend! Thanks so much Brie!! :) read more

Lettuce Cater did a wonderful job providing quality food for a corporate lunch of 60+ people. Food was excellent -- fresh, great flavors, and cooked perfectly. It was delivered on-time exactly how and when we had discussed and within budget. Can't say enough good things. Highly recommend! A++ read more

Brie Cater did an amazing job with our wedding in January 2015. Justin was a joy to work with and responded to all requests and emails/calls very promptly. The food was so delicious that our guests are still talking about it! All of the staff was very friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be helping us celebrate! I would like to thank everyone from Brie Cater for helping make our wedding reception go so well and I would highly recommend them! read more

We used BRIE cater for our wedding and were truly impressed. The food and the service were great. Our guests loved the food and we did not have to deal with a single issue. They were great at communicating with us throughout the process. I would strongly recommend using BRIE for any event! read more

I can't say enough good things about Lettuce Cater - the team pulled off the whole night flawlessly! I heard that the trial menu always tastes/looks better than the actual meal served, but I didn't find that to be the case at all with Lettuce! Jules was great to work with - always responded quickly to my questions and requests and helped me put together a serving agenda that worked perfectly with the timing for the reception. The serving staff was friendly and helpful, accommodated my requests, and served the meals as quickly as possible. To keep prices low, Jules might tweak the staffing levels, but we found it to be right on for our group size. Given the rate we paid, I didn't expect such a beautiful meal! When we booked, the company was still trying to grow business (they haven't been around for that long), so we were nervous about a lot of things, but found that it was a bargain in the end and would definitely refer them to future brides! read more

Our wedding is actually not until November but I felt the need to write this now. We are now out $1000 for our wedding because of Lettuce. Heres what happened to us- We booked Lettuce back in 2011 when a chef named Christian was running there wedding events. Our tasting with him was PHENOMINAL! Then we found out 6 months ago (through a family friend NOT from the company itself) that he as well as our sales coordinator had been let go. We decided it was important to set up another tasting since the company had made such great changes. The new chef (who is also the owner of the company) seemed a little irritated but accomadated us, and was actually very kind at our second tasting. The second tasting was NOTHING...I repeat NOTHING, like our first. The most important being in the taste/quality of the food. Other then that they only prepared us 1/4 of what we tried on the menu the first tasting (he actually complained about what the original chef had spent on tastings which I thought was rude considering how much money I was about to give him for my wedding!). We also were assigned a new sales person, and the tasting was now in a hot muggy kitchen! (as opposed to the suite with a formal dining setting at our first tasting). Just a completely different expierience the second time around. We left so disappointed. The owner wound up pulling some weird stuff to pretending to be one of the old employees through email which was VERY odd as well. We wound up deciding to terminate our contract with them because of the tasting being so different, and because of the weird emails, and now they wont return our $1000 deposit. read more

I had my doubts before the wedding seeing as every time we calledor went in to speak with them we always got somebody else who knew less about our event and we're more confused than we were. We were given 5 different final payment amounts in a week and a half time.that should have let me know that the service was going to be about the same. unfortunately that was the case. The grilled vegetables that should have been served with the entree were served cold before the dinner salads. The to dinner entrees were served so far apart that people didn't realize there was a second option. The orderves that they promised would be set aside for my wife and I felt like a joke. not a single crab cake or wrapped asparagus was left for us. I think we could of made a better choice by going with any other cater. if you like confusion and stress before your event then these would be the people for you because that's about all we Got. and Brian who says he was there sure didn't show his face because I'm pretty sure he knew he dropped the ball. read more
