I highly recommended Olmstead Catering for any large party or wedding! They hit all the marks that…read morewere important to us in our wedding planning process (ie reasonable price per plate, flexible to our needs, quick response time, great patient attitude, and very professional and knowledgeable.) We worked with Olmstead Catering for our 250 person wedding. Nothing against beef tips and chicken, but we have had that a little too often at weddings so we knew we wanted something different. They created an Italian or German menu that would fit the two-meat/plate cost; other caterers would up charge any change to the specific menus they have. We were able to taste, pick and adjust a menu perfect for us. We picked the German menu and we received so many compliments from our guests! Great food and a fun time is something that guests remember from weddings; Olmstead Catering gave us that for sure! Thanks!

A beautiful setting for a nature-inspired gathering. Countless soft pines, deciduous trees and…read moreponds on this 400 acre family-owned spread. It's rustic, beautiful and quiet (no highway or city noise). For the wedding event I attended last weekend, guests were boarded onto a large open-sided wagon drawn by two work horses, and when that wagon was full with about 30 people, we were driven back into the woods, about a 15 minute trip. Some guests arriving later were driven back into the woods in a golf cart. Returning later to the parking area, we were driven in golf carts. The wedding ceremony took place on an outside deck with plastic chairs set up for sitting. They have outhouses for bathrooms and no running water. There's a large enclosed cabin with a wooden floor and long banquet tables and plastic chairs to sit on were set up inside. An ample-sized multi-level deck is attached to the large cabin that has round plastic tables and plastic chairs to sit on. I think the food was catered and it was all right. It was a banquet line set-up. Lightly smoked and large juicy pieces of chicken, large foil-wrapped baked potatoes (with bowls of whipped butter and sour cream available for help-yourself), several varieties of sliced bread, canned corn, and a very soggy-looking pasta salad. They offered lemonade and coffee in big plastic bins with spouts on them. One thing I think would be nice for this business to do for its guests attending a more "formal" event is to clean off the sitting surfaces of all those plastic chairs right before the event so that people dressed up in their finery won't be left wearing the dust and dirt stirred up by their horses making repeated trips through the woods.

The chicken is cooked to perfection every time we've had it. My husband says that Bresina's Carry Out is his favorite place to get broasted chicken.

If you happen to be gluten-free, their menu also comes gluten-free, without the added cost. However, the best part of this place is its people. The staff is younger, but they know their stuff.

Once we finally got a hold of someone after an hour, the owner claimed he did not have it booked and was 2 hours away at a different wedding before telling us "calm down" and what do we expect him to do.

Horrible communication, obviously unorganized if they triple booked themselves, and offered no options or help except for another hour later calling saying he could try to come now after we had to scramble to come up with an alternative food option. Would not recommend.
