Our crowd was totally wowed by the menu and the quality of the food. Having her involved for our event was a significant part of it's success. I highly recommend using her for your catering needs. The menu of available items is broad and well thought out with so many yummy choices it's hard to choose. I struggle to say which dish was the most popular - the eggplant parmigiana kept disappearing but the braised beef and chicken with artichokes were equally complimented. Thank you Bonnie for helping to make my mother's 90th birthday party such a huge success.

LOOK NO FURTHER - A Thyme to Cook is the best catering service you can find. They happened to be…read morethe first one I called and the first thing I booked after we chose our venue, Saltwater Farm Vineyard. I called other catering options, but I always went back to the first conversation in my mind that I had with Juli. She really painted the picture of what I wanted for my wedding. Our wedding date was 10/4/24 and Juli said, "Okay, so it's fall in New England. Your guests arrive to apple cider and water before being seated in the vineyard." I was hooked. A Thyme to Cook's reviews spoke for themselves, but I also felt extremely lucky when I was paired with Paige as my coordinator. Not only did she make the day of my wedding run as seamless as possible, but she also answered all of my paragraph long emails leading up to the wedding. She was the most important person I was working with throughout this whole experience since I was planning the wedding myself and not using a planner. Because of her I felt confident in how everything was slowly coming together despite having no idea what I was doing myself. She helped me work on timelines, ensure I had all of my vendors set, and was instrumental in making my dream wedding come to life. I was complimented as being a very chill bride and I have to say that's mostly in part to Paige and being so incredible at her job. We did so much work up front and she knew my vision so I was able to trust her and watch it all come to life. The food itself is also incredible. Not only will the food and drinks taste amazing, but also the presentation of them is something your guests will rave about. To be greeted by the apple cider station (with the option to spike it) was a huge hit and great way to introduce our guests to our big day. The cocktail hour ran super smoothly and the food was a huge hit. I have never seen a larger piece of steak at a wedding reception and it was just as good as our tasting experience. One thing I was also very excited about was our cider donut wall. It was the perfect fall dessert for our guests to enjoy and also snag on their way out. Also shout out to Sarah from the catering staff who made sure the bride and groom's glasses were always full, we never had to go to the bar for a drink or food. I cannot recommend this caterer enough. I promise you will be in the best of hands and your guests will be blown away by the experience. If you book A Thyme to Cook, know that you're getting much more than a caterer, you're getting a vendor that will help walk you through the entire process and it's worth every penny.

Three highlights were: The appetizers - my favorite part and nothing I'd ever seen before at a wedding, our plated dinner which was punctual with the steaks and fish perfectly cooked (per our guests), and the waitstaff who went over the top to deliver amazing service to us and our guests. In a word, impressed. We would hire ATTC again and again.

First and foremost, his daughter Emily who coordinated our event could not have been more accommodating, easy to work with, and helpful throughout the process. Second, the food was beyond AMAZING. I HIGHLY recommend the food and wine pairing. Chef Antonio outdid himself with 4 incredible courses and a wine paired with each. The food was out of this world and our group discussed which dish was the best for the remainder of the bachelorette and it's still unclear because every single one was THAT good. This was the first time I have experienced working with a private chef and it was truly incredible. I highly recommend Chef Antonio for any event you may have - the food and the service exceeded expectations. I am already trying to find another event to use Chef Antonio for!

On August 15, 2020, we met with Sarah, conducted the tour, and felt like this facility would make…read moreour special day even better. We were looking forward to getting married on October 1, 2021, at The Meadows but after our check was cashed that feeling disappeared. Since making our deposit we've been lied to, ignored and dismissed. Our issues began when we made our initial deposit. My fiance' grew up in Stonnington and it was important for her to have our wedding near her hometown. We were so excited to book this venue that on the weekend of August 22/23, 2020, while in Stonnington, we stopped off to give Sarah the check. There was another function getting set up and my fiance asked a staff person if Sarah was around so she could give her the check. The staff person said that Sarah had just stepped out and that she would give the check and signed contract to her. I called the following week to verify that the check had been received and what resulted was very odd. Sarah texted my fiance scolding her for dropping off the check, telling my fiance' that no Meadows staff were working that day and sounding shocked that we would want to make the deposit as quickly as we did. My fiance was so upset by this interaction that I ended up calling Sarah to deal with the situation. Sarah told me that she had the contract but did not have the check so I would have to send another check. I spent the money to have the initial check cancelled and mailed off another check. The second problem started when Sarah said she had the contract in hand when in reality it had been mailed to us by the bride and groom of the event. On September 1, 2020, I emailed Sarah to verify that she received the check and to find out what the next step in the planning staging was. I didn't receive a response. On September 16, 2020 I emailed Sarah to follow-up to see what the next step in the planning was. She responded on September 20, 2020, that the focus was on 2020 weddings and our tasting would be booked "early next year." In March of 2021 when we hadn't heard anything, I called Sarah on March 22, 2021 to see what our next step would be. I called again on March 30 and April 21st with no response and texted her on March 30th without a response. I submitted a message through The Meadows Facebook page and Instagram account without any responses. I did reach out to a caterer who informed me that Sarah would get in touch with me. On March 30, 2021, I submitted an email through The Meadows website looking to get in contact with someone but to also express several concerns about the lack of communication, questioning if we still had the date reserved since The Meadows didn't have a signed contract from us, asking when the tasting would be scheduled and feeling lied to about the contract. Sarah responded on March 30, 2021 only to say we had the date reserved and to please send the contract. The other issues weren't addressed, I emailed her again on March 30, 2021 to ask about the tasting and as of the date of this email have not received a response. Up to this point Sarah has been untruthful of being in possession of our contract, has not responded to simple inquiries and has dismissed my voiced concerns. I understand we are not the only wedding. I understand that this is a very challenging time. But we couldn't even have been afforded a simple "we're sorry things are crazy. I'm sorry I've been dismissive." We didn't have the confidence in spending an additional ten thousand dollars and having our special day be such. I understand we're not the only couple who is trying to get in touch with staff. What I don't understand is why we're being treated as a bother and someone that can't get a reply.

This was our first time working at this venue, so we had no idea what the experience would be like. The food was AMAZING! The staff were very helpful in accommodating our company, as well as all the guests. As a vendor we get to see what happens behind the scenes and sit back and watch how their events are facilitated and let me tell you, they are RIGHT ON POINT!!! We work at 100's of venues in CT, so we know what we are talking about. The owner Ian is very involved & even took the time to personally introduce himself. All that said, the person we MUST give the KUDOS to is their EVENT PLANNER, Danielle. SHE IS AMAZING AND RIGHT ON POINT!!! In our 30 years experience, we can tell you that when an event is excellently executed; whether it be with the food, timeline, cleanliness, etc., it ALWAYS has to do with the Event Planner. Danielle is PROFESSIONAL, ARTICULATE & EXPERIENCED!!!! Ian is lucky to have her, but he already knows that, as he stated as such when he introduced himself. She represents the business well and executes their events with ease. What an asset she is to their business. The great execution of any event is so important, especially a Wedding Event because you don't have a chance to redo it. It is so important to get it right and give each and every couple Memories of a Lifetime. Danielle does just that and understands how every detail matters. We will be recommending this venue to our potential clients going forward. Nice job Danielle and keep up the Great Work!!!!

First, Chef Trish and staff: Friendly, engaging, hardworking, attentive to details. As a group which included young children running around we never felt that we were in the way. Trish made us feel like we were part of the cooking adventure. Chef Trish's food: farm to table, locally sourced delicacies, outstanding use of spices and herbs. The explanation of each course along with the pop quizzes of hidden ingredients made our special sit down dinner so much fun. The myriad of new tastes over the 3 days was a wonderful gift to our taste buds. Chef Trish's clever use of different herbs, vinegars and spices enhanced the flavors of her Asian Shrimp appetizer, the Iberico pork, the Wagu beef....and so many other dishes. The compound butter using Asian scallions was so delicious we were eating it on anything we could find the next morning. From the charcuterie board to the blueberry and cottage cheese cake, everything was outstanding. As an aside...I greatly appreciated the kindness Chef Trish showed my Grandson when he needed to cook his own food. He has extreme food allergies and she gave him complete run of the stove while talking to him about allergies and how he could enhance some of his food. Their interaction was priceless. They spoke to each other like old friends. What compassion. I would highly recommend Chef Trish and her staff for small, medium or large gourmet, fun events. Barb L
