We used Rosa Maes Catering for our wedding which was a few days ago. I am going to have to give it 2.5/5 stars for a few reasons. I will start off by saying that the food was good & most the people who attended the wedding, and were actually able to finish their meal, enjoyed it completely. We received numerous texts saying that it was delicious, but I am unable to leave a 5 star review.
I had confirmed via email weeks before the wedding that all leftover food would be boxed for me in styrofoam boxes and that it would be able to be taken home for after the wedding which sounded great. Unfortunately, I believe we received only 1 or 2 extra to-go boxes after the wedding was over which is impossible. We had originally prepared for 125 people to attend the wedding and have roughly 85 people come and enjoy the night. Not only should there have easily been plenty of extra food that was leftover to take home, which was not given to us, everyone that I spoke to about the food informed me that the food was taken before they were able to even get a second plate which there should have been plenty of food for everyone to eat. With the food being taken EXTREMELY EARLY & having 40 extra portions of food, one would only assume that my guests ate the extra food(which was not even possible) or we would have a great deal of food to take home. Neither of these occurred. Having an additional 40 extra plates should have meant that roughly half of our family and friends should of had to have had seconds or even possibly thirds depending on how much people ate.
Another issue that concerned people who attended my wedding, to include my wife and I; is that as people were eating, talking with family and friends, and using the restroom, their food was taken off of the table before they were able to finish their plates. Shortly, after everyone received their plates, the catering company took the food off of the buffet with no opportunity for anyone to get seconds that I spoke with. After spending almost $4,500 on food I would've only assumed that the food would have been left out for at least some time for people to enjoy it and indulge in it, yet that was not possible especially considering each plate cost roughly $34-$36....
As previously mentioned, the food was great for those were able to finish their meals but due to the aforementioned reasons I would only give the catering company 2.5 stars and would HIGHLY recommend speaking with other caterers, before booking with them. read more
