I engaged Jose Contreras to provide Christmas dinner for 8 people at my dad's assisted living…read moreresidence in Sonoma. I agreed to his quoted price of $50 per person ($400), plus a $150 travel fee since he was coming from Healdsburg, for a total of $550, and gave him a deposit of $250, leaving a balance of $300. He arrived 30 minutes late and my guests were upset. I told him to put the balance of his fee on my credit card. Upon receiving my credit card statement, I was surprised to see that he had charged $400, instead of $300. I did not authorize any gratuity due to his tardy delivery of the meal. I have sent him several emails and left phone messages requesting that he refund the overpayment, to which he has failed to respond or comply. His business has no street address, so I cannot contact him by mail. I am quite frustrated at the way he is treating me.

I would give Patty 10 stars if I could! We hired Patty and…read moreher team to do our catering, flowers, and deserts. I have some many good things to say I don't even know where to start. The food was amazing, even better than it was at the trial, which was very good. The tri-tip was very flavorful, the green beans were cooked and seasoned perfectly, and I never knew chicken could taste that good. I could write a whole paragraph on how good the risotto balls were. I literally ate a plate of them. The Tex-Mex Wontons are delicious. The flowers were more beautiful than I had pictured them. The deserts were unbelievable - so tasty! There was almost none left. Patty really listened to what we wanted and worked with us to customize every little detail and really make it feel personal. She also worked with our budget to make sure we wouldn't spend more than we wanted, but so that we would have everything the way we wanted it. We booked a venue with an on-site coordinator who, in fairness, didn't end up doing a whole lot on the actual day. Patty and her team were a GODSEND. They took care of every little hiccup so that I wouldn't have to deal with it, and they did so calmly and efficiently so that I didn't even have a chance to worry about it. These are the kind of people you want and need with you on your big day. And just to clarify, I didn't hire her for the day-of coordination, but she handled all of these extra things for me anyways. We booked Patty more than a year and a half before our wedding, giving me plenty of time to worry and re-think things. I thought I knew everything I wanted and how I wanted it when we booked her, but regardless of the utterly ridiculous amount of times I contacted her to question everything or to change this tiny detail or that huge one, she never complained and she always got back to me within a reasonable amount of time, normally that day or the next. I even emailed her to ask to change the color of the table cloths the week of the wedding and she still managed to get it done. When I changed all of the bouquets and boutonnières, sending pictures of examples I had gotten off of Pinterest, she seemed enthusiastic about the changes and made them look even better than the pictures, and better than I had imagined. When I forgot the table numbers I made and the coolers for the ice, Patty's team took care of it. I cannot thank them enough. I hesitated in the beginning as she did not have many reviews, but I am so glad I didn't let that stop me from booking her. Both Patty and her team/family are so kind and professional. They're a real class act. You could tell she truly cared about every detail and really worked hard to do what she could to make our day flawless and special. It was like having my grandmother cater my wedding. I couldn't imagine anything better.

We used this caterer for my daughter's wedding in Sept. 2009. Their food was excellent and their…read moreprice was very competitive. The problem was that they arrived at the venue in Healdsburg (a vineyard) at about 1:10. Guests were to start arriving at 2:30. They were supposed to set up the 150 chairs out on the lawn. They were so late that we had to set up the chairs. They didn't start setting up the tables until about 1:30. This was a huge problem as we had to decorate 18 tables with some complex center pieces in short order. I was the mother of the bride and it was 90 degrees out and I was sweating like crazy, my hair was coming undone and my makeup was running. Half of the wedding party was trying to get my daughter ready and the other half was trying to get the centerpieces on the tables put together. We were frantic. The next thing you know, I had 5 of our guests standing there looking at me in my street clothes asking me what was going on? I looked at my watch and it was 2:40. Yikes, the wedding was supposed to start at 3:00 and half of us weren't even dressed yet because of the table and chair fiasco. So, how embarrassing, those 5 guests took over and finished the tables so the other half of the wedding party could get ready. Ugh When my daughter found out that some of the guests were decorating the tables, she started having a meltdown. We had to calm her down poor thing. We should have never been put into that position. They should have arrived much earlier and taken care of the chairs and tables. Then we could have calmly gotten the tables decorated in plenty of time. Instead of enjoying getting ready for the big day with my daughter, I was running around like a maniac in the heat trying to fix the tables. This caused the wedding ceremony to start 40 minutes late which triggered the minister to get her britches all in a knot with us about it. It also cut into the reception time which made things rather rushed and ultimately cut into the amount of dancing time we all got to do. Our other complaints were that when it came time to eat, the place settings were all completely out of wack with the chairs and the decorations. In other words when you sat down, nothing in front of you was organized correctly and it was confusing. This was because the tables got thrown together so quickly. Then, we had three different food choices. She served I believe the chicken then there was like a 15 min wait for the beef and then another 15 min wait for the veg dish. This caused people with the chicken and beef to wait until all were served before starting and as a consequence their food was cold. Also, there was a special expensive bottle of champagne that she was supposed to serve to the bride and groom. That didn't happen. When we questioned why it wasn't served, she said she couldn't find it. After the the reception, when we were cleaning up, we found it in the refrigerator in the kitchen in plain sight. The owner of the catering business then presented my daughter with a bill and she had over charged us. We didn't notice it initially. My daughter gave her the check and then we noticed it. We stopped payment on the check and complained. She adjusted the bill but then refused to take responsibility for the table and chair fiasco, the slow food serving and the champagne mess up. We only tipped her $50. If you hire this caterer, lie to her and tell her the reception is starting two hours before it really does so she will get her fanny in gear and get there on time. Pick simple table decorations just in case she is late so you don't spend too much time trying to construct something complicated on the tables. Lastly, pick only one dish not three otherwise the first served will have cold food waiting for the others to be served. I give her 5 stars for her food and the overall price. I have to deduct 3 stars for the table and chair fiasco, the slow service, the champagne messup, the overbilling incident and her refusal to take responsibility for any of it.

We wanted to hire a smaller, local, family-owned and operated caterer for our outdoor Sonoma…read morewedding in October 2012. Wild Thyme Events came recommended to us by some friends who had hired them to do their rehearsal dinner in May 2011. We had our initial meeting with Joanne (one of the owners) about 10 months before our wedding. Joanne and her husband Keith (another owner and also the chef) prepared a beautiful sample menu for us. We expressed a desire for local, sustainable foods that were in season for our reception menu. Wild Thyme gave us exactly that - figs stuffed with goat cheese and wrapped in bacon, along with smoked duck and artichoke heart pizzettas for appetizers; tri-tip and wild-caught fresh rock fish, potatoes au gratin, green beans, Acme French bread, and an heirloom tomato and buffalo mozzarella salad on a bed of greens for dinner. The food couldn't have been better - it was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and timed exactly as we requested. We had 100 guests at our wedding. Wild Thyme did not have to set up tables or chairs for our reception, but they did set up the linens and place settings for dinner. They arrived early for set up and were ready to go in plenty of time. Wild Thyme plated the salads and put them at people's seats so they could eat those during my dad's speech and before the buffet opened. We had family members bake and provide desserts, with just a small, one tier cake. We asked Wild Thyme to please provide fresh strawberries and whipped cream - which they did, and they were absolutely fresh and delicious. They also took it upon themselves to beautifully set up the desserts provided by our families onto tiered trays - the dessert buffet table could not have looked prettier. They did not charge a "cake cutting fee" for our small cake. We also hired our bartender through Wild Thyme - he generously poured beer, wine and champagne all night (we purchased and provided all of our own alcohol, the bartender just served it). We received so many compliments on the food and the professionalism of the catering staff - we are very happy with our decision to hire Wild Thyme to cater our wedding reception. My only complaint - we specifically asked that a tip cup not be placed on the bar during the reception. We tipped the bartender and servers generously before the event so that a tip cup would not be placed on the bar. To our surprise, the bartender put out a tip cup anyway - which unfortunately, we didn't notice until there was only an hour to go at our reception. At that point, the cup was full of money, and it wasn't worth saying anything to him (I was trying to be a Zen bride!). So overall, we were very satisfied with the food and service provided by Wild Thyme Events - Joanne and her staff were very accommodating and pleasant to work with. We would hire them again if we ever needed a local caterer in Sonoma.

We didn't even know where to start or how to find the right caterer. So of course we went to the internet to see what we could find. After interviewing a couple of resteraunts and independant companies we ran across Collision Cuisine website and liked what we saw so I gave them a call. We knew within the first few minutes we was talking to someone with a REAL passion for food and real expertice on catering. At that point we met up with Julia and Gage and they walked us through every step. We were convinced they would be perfect, but when it came to the actual event they exceeded all of our expectations. The food was so amazing that is all you can hear our guests talking about and everyone just loved them. I'm not kidding when I say I kept seeing our guest going over and hugging them! The quality, passion, staff, personalized touch and valuable suggestions they provided made our day extra special. We seriously can't say enough good things about them as people and them as incretable chefs.
