We, as the bride and groom, agree! We actually had time to sit and eat and we are so glad we were able to enjoy the Maryland jumbo lump crab cakes, beef tips, pasta and sides and salad. Everything was so fresh and made to perfection. We would hire them again in a heartbeat for any future catering needs we have. They were easy to work with, very professional and friendly, and was able to advise on how to manage some of the guests dietary needs. Fantastic! We didn't get a chance to try the hors d'ouvres and charcuterie display, but heard amazing reviews to no surprise. Thank you, Michael and Team!

A full service group, and a value that can't be beat!…read more We worked with Canards for catering and event design and execution for our wedding of ~175 guests, and we were incredibly impressed with the results! Lisa and her team are very creative and detail-oriented, and you essentially get a free event designer (as well as coordinator) included in your catering costs, it is a value that cannot be beat! They were responsive to the needs and ideas that were unique to our event and helped turn our thinking into a real vision - and then they executed it! Guests were impressed with the food and the cocktails! The executive chef is very talented and the menu was creative; Canards listened to the food styles we were interested in and suggested items that would add some special elements and elevate the menu. They are so flexible and the sky is the limit, and everything is plated in a beautiful way. Really can't go wrong with food from Canards. Canards is very fairly priced and the team looks for ways to save you a buck where possible. They coordinate rentals and other vendors for no additional fees. They designed a linen/décor/tablescape plan that was super unique and then handled rentals and set up, and the results really were stunning. They suggested a decorative scheme for our ceremony space and handled it directly, creating a floral backdrop. They ordered bulk florals/décor which they turned into simple but beautiful centerpieces, which saved us a pretty penny. They helped us do a "welcome" greeting before the ceremony and cocktail hour without inflating the price. It really does result in the best value that you can find for wedding catering, really impressive what they can do for each event. The vendors and service staff they work with are extremely professional. Service was excellent throughout dinner and the rest of the event. The contract, tasting, and event planning process was very easy. In the end: highly recommend - incredible value and attention to detail!

We just had to assemble them and we added the florals. I loved the outcome and so did my guest! I had a smooth, easy, and positive experience from beginning to end. I reached out a few weeks before my event and Vonya was very personable and accomodating, wanting to make sure she met my vision. She was also very communicative and responsive throughout the process and very easy to talk to. When it comes to business, some people can can be really cold, so I loved her positive and kind energy. I am big on kindness! She overall exceeded my expectations and I am grateful that I stumbled across her business via an Instagram ad. lol! I look forward to using this company for any future balloon needs and I would recommend her services to others without hesitation!

Tonight we went to Crown Sports Center in Fruitland, Maryland. I have never been so dissatisfied…read morewith a venue in my life. I have an almost 3 year old, Hannah who enjoys some games at the arcade. That was our first destination. Out of the 40 games there, maybe 20 worked, and of those that didn't maybe 5 had signs on them that said "Out of Order". I spent most of my time waiting for a compensation of my lost tokens. No one was at the counter, the teenage kids were usually in the laser tag room or nowhere to be found. It was wonderful having to wait 5-10 minutes at a time (NOT!). I decided that I would get the manager whose name was Michelle. Michelle offered no apology just excuses, stating well we are busy. Some of the machines just ran out of tickets. We have parties on the other side. I can give you more tokens. I asked Michelle if Crown was going out of business because there were maybe 12 people in the arcade (including laser tag) and 3 people of staff. She said no it's just a busy night? I wonder if it's busier during the day and maybe that's the reason they cannot properly put signs on machines or fix them. We decided to head to the other side of Crown at the Skate Center. There we paid to get in, $28.50 (though I'm not sure because they never gave me a receipt). We go in and go to get our skates, no one is at the counter. Finally, someone comes and she gives us our skates. Like I said, I have an almost 3 year old who has never skated in her life, and we saw a bunch of these "PVC pipe skate aides" that children had. While waiting for someone again, a mother came up to me and told me the manager had been talking about me and how I was crazy. I disregarded and when the clerk came back I asked if we could have one of the skate aides. They said we are all sold out. I said nice, well I would like a refund because Hannah cannot skate without one. Michelle came out and refused, but offered me coupons. I told her this is a dangerous area for someone so young, and she needs an aide. And if you have 300 people skating or in the skate area there should be MORE THAN TWO people on staff to assist. There were more people come to find out but they were on their phones too busy to assist everyone. Needless to say it was a night of almost $70 wasted, and I have never seen such an incompetent staff in my life. I was also given the manager information, Pam but Michelle would not tell me her last name? Solutions: - FIX YOUR ARCADE GAMES. - IF A MACHINE IS OUT OF ORDER POST A SIGN. - STAFF NEEDS BETTER MANAGEMENT. - IF THERE'S A LOT OF PARTIES HAVE MORE STAFF. - TRAIN YOUR STAFF BETTER. - IF SOMEONE HAS NOT BEEN TO THE CENTER, LET THEM KNOW WHERE TO GET THEIR SKATES. - IF SOMEONE HAS A SMALL CHILD LET THEM KNOW YOU ARE ALL OUT OF AIDES.
