I scheduled a phone call with her about 2-3 weeks prior to the event where she gave me a thorough breakdown of the menu while giving me suggestions for what would go well with our expectations. The day of the event, her execution was absolutely perfect from showing up prepared, setting the table, presentation, and the food was absolutely delicious, all 9 of us cleaned our plates. Her personality and communication is just as perfect as her dishes. Thanks for such a great experience.

Busy Bee Catering swooped in and saved the day with their "Sides-Giving" offerings fit for royalty! Their fluffy mashed potatoes and gravy were divine. Their chicken apple sausage stuffing was a show stopper, as was the relish tray (as big as a trough for my goats), roasted vegetables and Fall harvest salad topped with sinfully delicious candied pecans. I feel like getting married again so Busy Bee Catering can handle the food. Thank you so much! You'll be seeing me and my hungry tummy again SOON!

We also used them at Alpine Events for our rehersal dinner with 52 people and the dinner was fabulous and the event space so lovely and personal for our gathering. Jan & Dani even decorated with the runners/candles/banner and flowers that we dropped off while at the rehersal. I can't say enough about them! Janey

The ambience is super cute and inviting it's just a really pleasant place to walk into and spend a few minutes. While waiting, I noticed their dessert display and got curious about something that wasn't cheesecake. I asked about it and was told it was basboosa (a semolina cake with coconut and rose water). I mentioned I'd have to try it next time and without hesitation they brought out a sample for me. It was absolutely delicious. It was soft, moist, and slightly crumbly like a tender sponge with a bit more texture from the semolina. The sweetness is light and not overpowering with a subtle coconut flavor that added richness and a delicate floral note from the rose water that made it taste just a little more special. They also packed up sample for my partner to try on the house. The kindness and generosity meant so much to me. Every time we come in everyone is so warm, welcoming and genuinely kind. We're really grateful for this place and will definitely keep coming back for our favorite cheesecake and now basboosa too.

For…read morethat price they were supposed to provide chicken, beef, asparagus, mashed potatoes, salad with candied nuts, 3 hors ordeuves, tea, water, lemonade. On our wedding day we were blindsided by not having The beef at all, and no nuts in the salad. I was charged the full price though. We asked the waitstaff about it and they talked to Katie Kearn, the representative that I had talked to throughout the whole process and the same person who did my tasting where we had agreed upon chicken and beef for entrees and she admitted to them that a mistake was made and said she would be in contact with me. I emailed her the day after the wedding. She did not respond immediately- I filed claims with my card companies. She then responded that my final invoice had been changed to omit the beef and I paid it so that means that I "agreed." The final invoice was paid on our wedding day and it was sent through the knot, not through email like the rest of the invoices. On the knot it opens very narrow and is hard to read. It was a total bait and switch and never discussed with me. I never agreed to pay the full price for only chicken after we had agreed to beef and chicken for that same price. As it was, the chicken was very dry and not at all like it had been at the tasting. She then offered me back a $400 refund, which is PATHETIC. I had even bought the menu cards and mailed them out with the invitations and many guests had chosen beef. We had to use some of our speech time to apologize to guests and explain what happened. This was an awful experience and I would never recommend them again to anyone.

I wish it had more cheese and creamier! I wasn't a big fan of the Argentinian Chipa cheese bread. It was very dense with bland lukewarm cheese.

Both have ground beef, I honestly am not sure which one I ate, as it seemed like all that was inside was ground beef, but it was nicely seasoned. It was hot! Fries were ok, nothing too exciting. They were also nice and hot, although a few were soggy. They sprinkle dried herbs on them, which is a nice touch The cookie looked different from the pic on the menu; it looked like a flat, white, unexciting disc. In real life, it is 2 glorious, light, melt-in-your-mouth shortbreads sandwiching a generous amount of creamy, rich, not-too-sweet dulce de leche. I highly recommend the alfajores!

Everything from…read morethe planning, to the flexibility on the menu, to the presentation and aesthetic - they completely nailed our vision. We didn't want to do a traditional sit-down or buffet dinner and worked with Reedville to do more of a food station, heavy hors d'oeuvres set-up for our cocktail party reception. Every single item they made was seriously delicious, not just 'good' - NW salmon cakes, goat cheese tartlets, teriyaki meatballs for passed apps, and the charcuterie presentation was beautiful. Sweet chili shrimp skewers, thai peanut chicken, asparagus risotto, arugula salad, plus two custom items we asked for: pork belly bao buns and fried chicken sliders. Everything was out of this world. When we asked to do pork belly bao buns, they didn't bat an eye or even ask any questions - and then absolutely nailed it. The amount of food was perfect. They also tended bar for us with 2 signatures and a full bar and everyone was happy and drunk the whole evening :) The team was super friendly and professional, and Jessica's responsiveness was lightning fast. We would work with them all over again and highly recommend to anyone.

We weren't sure if we wanted to provide our own alcohol, or have Reedville do it, and Cam was so flexible with us the whole time. She was constantly tweaking little things in their proposal and always promptly answered any questions I had. The food is so good! I had multiple guest come up to me during the wedding and tell me, unsolicited, how good the food was. It was above and beyond many of our guests expectations of what kind of food they would be served at a wedding. My now husband wanted to order excess food on purpose just so he'd have more leftovers, I cannot emphasize how yummy everything was! The day of staff of servers and bartenders were all fantastic as well. While taking pictures during our cocktail hour and away from our guests, all of the servers made sure to bring us the hors d'oeuvres and cocktail each which was super appreciated! Overall I cannot recommend Reedville enough, they were fantastic!
