And the staff was equally excellent, including Brittney's communication and support throughout the process. Everything was so easy! Couldn't have imagined a better experience and would highly recommend them.

Lee Jackson, manager, was attentive, responsive, and thoughtful through the planning process, rehearsal, ceremony, and reception. Like the good event manager he is, he was proactive, anticipating concerns in advance--he even arranged for my nieces and nephews to have a space of their own to play during the reception. The space itself is a beautiful throwback to Frank Lloyd Wright's take on modernism. The staff was responsive to the needs of our guests, and the food was excellent--more than one person commented that it didn't taste like "wedding food." Many thanks to Lee and his staff for their help in making our wedding so special.

My daughter and I attended and we were impressed from the moment our car dropped us off in the front. We were greeted at the door by a professional employee. He took us back to a beautiful space with a marble table where we picked up our name tags. Nearby was the entrance to the huge room where all of the family members were seated at circular tables with white tablecloths. Each table had a beautiful flower arrangement in the center that didn't prevent us from seeing each of the family members around our table. The waiters were right on schedule with each course starting with our drinks. The food was delicious and naturally we had anniversary wedding cake for dessert. There was plenty of space for dancing with a dance floor. When we had the opportunity to move around to the other tables to chat we were not crowded in the space. I am highly recommending you consider Tashua Knolls for your special event.

The banquet room and facility in general is extremely dated. Looks like it was last decorated in the early 90's. Weird fake flowers and sconces. The "turkey" carving station had a large, shiny lump of chopped and formed turkey with a very pink hue. Almost like they bought the worst quality meat lump from a deli and called it turkey. Never seen anything like it. Even the ice cream was bad. I liked that there were healthy options, fresh sautéed veggies, etc. however it was completely unremarkable. This morning my partner and I woke up with diarrhea and nausea. We never have these issues except with food poisoning.

The reason for this email is that I would like to address some issues with your head chef of the evening, Lawrence. Towards the end of the night we received several complaints about his behavior. My father went into the back office to find Beth, the woman in charge of the wedding venue, crying and in pain after interaction with Lawrence when she suggested they get another rack for the chairs because she thought the chairs were stacked too high, and was afraid they would fall, in which he responded with "Beth, how long have you been working here?" she said 3 years, and he replied "well then you should know what you are doing" in a rude tone. Then he proceeded to move the rack of chairs while Beth was still standing directly behind them and rolled the rack right over her foot, injuring her toe even for her to be crying in the office. Her toe was swollen and red. This is just completely unacceptable. Secondly, my husband's sister said when she came out of the bathroom, Lawrence started hitting on her and making her feel uncomfortable. Third, he was cursing in front of guests, making them feel uncomfortable and pretty much having no shame about it. Fourth, he walked straight into my husband in a doorway in passing, more than likely accidentally, knocking him aside without saying a word. Furthermore, most of the staff seemed, over-worked, unenthusiastic and whenever a guest had a question or concern, they were either treated rudely or shortly. I know you were only there briefly, but I find this behavior completely unacceptable considering the amount of money we have paid your company for your services. Your food was exceptional, but the service was not. The bartenders were splendid. I have suggested that Beth, tell Katherine, the woman in charge of bookings at Branford House, exactly what happened, which will not reflect well in the future with your relationship with that venue. Overall, you assigned a head chef who injured a staff member, walked into my husband the groom and said nothing, was cursing in front of guests, and hit on my sister in law making her uncomfortable.

Attention EVERYONE! If you are having a small get together do NOT call these people. I REPEAT! DO…read moreNOT! 1st of all, they take a long time to get back to you and yes, I understand they are busy people.. but if you're running a business for starters how about you hire someone who can just take the calls and return them for you? Just a option. 2ndly, I did in fact speak to ERIC- the owner . Clearly from the get go I can feel that he didn't want to do business with me once I mentioned this will be a small gathering for my new baby and home and we will only be feeding a number of 27-30 people. If you have their services for (this amount of people) you're looking to spend over $800.00. So I obviously needed more options. He said for drop off only will run me $450.00 + tax. I told him once my husband gets back from work I will relay this to him. I did get back to Eric a couple days later and needed a rundown of the menu. He told me a couple thing there, mac cheese, pulled pork, rolls, thighs and legs. Potato salad. That's it. To be honest, through out the weeks I always reached out back to him and showed consistency. This guy didn't want to be bothered lol. I'm about to order this food and want to know more and what I will be ordering and It was obvious he didn't want to take my order. 1ST, It would take him days outta time to return my calls, or texts. Or he would give me a excuse that he was spending the day with his daughter. MORE THAN ONCE. A big gap to get returned calls was very accurate. So when he did return my call, he kept talking fast, trying to push me aside with my questions, and told me more than once when I called back 'Oh I thought you weren't going forward with it''?? HOW? I been trying to do business with him and this feels more like a bad date gone wrong. LOL!! He apparently from ALLLL his reviews has only done big extravagant weddings, job parties, etc. That's fine. Just next time how about you be a little more specific about this instead of brushing customers aside. SHAME ON YOU! Last time I spoke with this character Eric (when he returned my call) I wanted to find out other options with the chicken that will be served. {which I will pay extra). He told me the menu was not to be changed or substituted for anything else. Literally I just been in this annoying back and fourth since March and you're telling me you can't change thighs and legs for chicken wings because its expensive? So what am I paying for then? Besides the obvious. I tell you this guy is not right. So good luck! Make smart choices and don't go based off these all positive reviews on him. Pathetic.

This is a copy/paste of what i just posted on Google: My family and I ordered our Thanksgiving dinner from Seasonal Catering and could not have been more pleased with how they prepared not only the food, but how their "to-go Catering" was presented at my vehicle for when I arrived for pick-up. (I'm sure the following would be true for their delivery option as well.) For the ride home/storage in the fridge, our order's selections were packed perfectly (perrrrfectly) in direct-to-oven aluminum trays and, as applicable (i.e. the gravy and cranberry sauce), in sturdy tupperware which was then extra-sealed with saran-wrap. This made transport and overnight storage seamless, and the next day was Thanksgiving....... and boy were we wow'd with the presentation of what was INside those trays! Even more than the excellent presentation, when we ate what was a deeeLISH holiday dinner of what i termed to be utterly yummy "clean-comfort-food" ... we felt extra thanksgiving-grateful that we had taken the leap and ordered from them. To Seasonal Catering of Milford: Major, MAJOR YUMMMM you guys -- thank you so much for doing deeLUX Catering-to-go, especially for the holidays!!!

Everything that came out their tiny kitchen tasted like heaven. Here are the things I had the opportunity to eat and their ratings: * Sweet potato with special sauce 5/5 * Mini Fish tacos 5/5 * Mini chicken sandwich with cauliflower bites 5/5 * Mini slider 4/5 Everything was fresh, delicious, and hot. I think hot is important to note because if you've had catering at an outside event before, sometimes it's just cold finger foods and it's not always tasty. Not Forks and Fingers! All of it was hot and fresh! Totally recommend! Did I mention the service? Absolutely wonderful. Each server was dressed well and took great care to ensure that even the furthest corners of the event were served. 100% recommend based on food and service.

I used them for my sister Bridal Shower and Wedding Welcome BBQ. Both events were two different styles - semi-formal cocktail party and BBQ style. F&F nailed it on both events. Food was excellent. We have an Indian/ Caribbean background so spices and flavor is important to us. Flavor was spot on - food was tasty. I might even say their curry might be better than mines. The attention to detail on the tables decoration was spot on for both events. They captured the essence of each event. Ali was honest and helped tremendously with coordinating rental, scheduling, setup, etc. Each menu was personalized for each event as well. I highly recommend them for any events. I will definitely be using them again.
