We met and discussed options and made a down payment for her services. About a month before the event, she sent us a message that she would no longer be able to cater for us due to a traumatic accident. We gave her time to heal and get through PT but now, a year after paying our deposit, we still have not gotten it back. We also no longer get responses to emails or txts. Wanted to share our experience so others do not have this same experience with COP.

I utilized Center of the Plate for a Baby Shower. The owner is extremely professional and timely…read morein responding to questions. She offered great suggestions and help us to find a great option within our budget when the party kept growing in guests. Communication was great through the planning period and she arrived early to deliver the food. She even helped out with a few other non food related tasks when we didn't even ask her to do so. The food was OUTSTANDING! The absolute best catered food I have ever had. The food was very flavorful, beautifully presented and high quality. Guests raved about the food and a few went back for seconds and thirds. Having owned an event planning company and worked on planning many events that required catering service, I must say that Center of the Plate is the best I've ever worked with and apparently a best kept secret of Lansing.

From the first tasting to the day of the wedding, Chef Lucia was incredibly helpful in guiding us…read morewith crafting our menu. She frequently reached out to us to help us with our menu and provide suggestions. She and her staff provided top-class service throughout the process and we could tell that she really cared about our wedding experience. Lucia was in our corner from the day we booked her and was a tremendous help with planning a wedding during a pandemic. Her expertise and high caliber of cooking took so much stress off of us as we prepared for our wedding. Now onto the food. What can I say? The food was absolutely phenomenal and full of flavor. Lucia worked with us to build a customized menu, from the ground up, that was unique to us. From our first tasting my wife and I were stoked about the food and couldn't wait for dinner. Needless to say, our guests are still raving about the food. My wife and I highly recommend An Affair to Remember Catering.

Hands down the best catering I have ever had the honor to consume! I do NOT say this lightly and…read morehave had catering from quite a few others. You can really tell there is some multi-generational love, talent, and passion to cook here. From the plating, presentation of the table, to mouth watering last bite, I was in love (with food) and cannot wait until they cater to our company events in the future. Such heart and warm smiles from Lucia and staff. you can see her face light up with pride as she watches the reaction on people's faces, someone who really puts everything into what she is doing, and it's all for you! Ever since the last time we used them, each other establishment we had cater or deliver, was a let down by comparison. Truly. You have nothing to lose by taking my word on this next part. TRY THE CANNOLI.

My wedding day should have been a joyful, worry-free celebration, and while my incredible coordinator and wedding party worked tirelessly to shield me from issues, the venue's rude and unprofessional behavior added unnecessary stress and frustration for everyone involved. Throughout the day, the venue staff acted with an astonishing lack of respect toward my coordinator, who was repeatedly interrupted and questioned about matters that had already been addressed. One of the most disruptive issues revolved around our dog (a well-behaved pug, who napped half the time he was there). He had been present at pre-event meetings, and nothing was ever mentioned about restrictions on him being there. Yet, on the day of the wedding, the venue staff fixated on him, even though he was only briefly there. The staff repeatedly pestered not only our coordinator but also our other vendors--including our photographer and bartender--to "confirm the plan" regarding the dog, over and over. My coordinator handled this graciously, keeping me blissfully unaware, but the venue's disruption and hostility were completely unwarranted. To make matters worse, the venue's staff began to hound my coordinator about our departure time early in the evening, despite our clear timeline and previous agreements. They insisted on last call announcements as early as 9:30 p.m. and returned multiple times to "remind" everyone that we needed to be out by midnight, making us feel unwelcome long before the event was even close to ending. There was no help or hospitality, either. Basic requests were met with resistance--when we needed additional trash bags, they refused to replace full ones and only begrudgingly provided a bag at the end of the night after the groom attempted to make peace. Simple requests, like unlocking the door or providing a bandaid were met with irritation, as though we were inconveniencing them. On top of this unprofessional behavior, they withheld $100 of our deposit solely because of our dog, even though he'd been present at previous meetings without issue. Additionally, and most shockingly, one of the staff even insulted my sister-in-law, calling her an inappropriate name. Had my coordinator and wedding party not gone above and beyond to handle all of this quietly, my day would have been overshadowed by these issues. But no couple should have to endure this type of treatment, and no one should ever have to rely on their wedding party to absorb such poor behavior from a venue. I cannot recommend this place to anyone seeking a respectful, cooperative environment on their wedding day, no matter how beautiful the setting.

The venue is…read moreabsolutely stunning, including the grand ballroom and terrace levels in the opera house itself, as well as the vibrant terrace area connected to the Grand River outside. We had both our wedding ceremony and reception upstairs in the grand ballroom with less than two hours during our cocktail hour to reset the room and the opera house staff did an excellent job transitioning the room during this time. Needless to say, the setup for both the ceremony and reception was absolutely gorgeous. The staff was wonderful about communicating what to expect with us beforehand and being present and helpful, yet unobtrusive, throughout our wedding day. We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day at the Grand Ledge Opera House!

5 Stars - Take A Shot Photo Booth Made Our East Lansing Graduation Party Unforgettable!…read more We recently had Take A Shot Photo Booth, based in Lansing, Michigan, at my daughter's high school graduation open house held at the Clerical-Technical Union of MSU in East Lansing - and it was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, Angela and Angel were amazing to work with. They brought such great energy, a beautiful photo booth setup, and all the fun props that got our guests laughing and having a great time. Everyone--from teens to grandparents--jumped in for pictures, and we now have so many memorable photos that we'll truly cherish for a lifetime. The quality of the prints was fantastic, the experience was smooth and professional, and it added such a fun element to the celebration. It really helped make the day feel extra special for our daughter. We highly recommend Take A Shot Photo Booth to anyone planning a graduation party, open house, wedding, or special event in Lansing or East Lansing, Michigan. If you want unforgettable memories and incredible service, this is the photo booth company to book!
