    Ledley Food Service - Wedding Reception

    This Business handles the food and beverage for Centennial Golf Club in Carmel, NY…read more Annie Ledley and her staff are exceptional. Not only are they professional, patient and polite but the food for our breakfast & lunch for our PSD Golf outing Sept 9th was delicious! They are the best to work with.

    Brian's catering yesterday at the annual Pegasus Boots & Bling gala to benefit the extraordinary…read morework done by Pegasus Therapeutic Riding Center served to glorify the event even more than it already was. Cocktail hour was wonderful and hors d'oeuvres were delectable; I don't do mammals and had to steer clear of prosciutto & melon and totally avoid "steak chick" but the stuffed mushrooms and crab cakes were incredible. Dinner was even better with all options accommodated on the twin buffet tables: plenty of mammal-free dishes! Wild and long grain rice, poached salmon, chicken Française, butternut squash and penne al dente with broccoli. The broccoli was so tender and perfectly steamed, not at all mushy or faded and the chicken was so tender it would cut with the side of a plastic fork. It meant a lot that Brian was there to personally supervise and unlike some catering managers who are rude to patrons and treat the servers like servants (looking at YOU, Mario Cermele) Brian was courteous, polite, congenial and truly accommodating. I think next time I host a party at the house, instead of busting ass to prepare all the food myself I will call Brian..... but only if Steak Chick is part of the staff! LOVE HER!

    Pros: We chose Natasha for a small family party to celebrate our wedding this spring. We went with…read moreher mainly because she was the first/only chef to begin our conversation by asking us what WE had in mind and letting that be the foundation for building the menu. She seemed eager to help us realize our vision rather than impose someone else's onto us. There are also four other people on the IBN team: the sous chef, whose name I forget; the bartender, for whom the same is true (maybe Aaron or Erin), and two servers: Mason and Spencer. These folks did an AMAZING job and we were both so grateful for their kindness and professionalism on the day of the event. Finally, I liked what I ate! I was happy with my day-of meal. Cons: Natasha was incredibly rude to both me and my husband in the weeks leading up to the post-wedding party. I had only spoken to her twice before the party: once when I hired her and again in February. She'd said in February that we could have a third and final call two weeks before the event. When I emailed her three weeks before the event to schedule this final call, she sounded irritated and said we'd spoken "a few days ago" (we had not; I even asked some relatives in case someone else had, but no) and she wanted to "stick to the plan" of having a call at a date a time to which we had not agreed--- only *five* days before the party. My husband reminded her that she'd said we could talk two weeks before and she eventually, reluctantly scheduled a call with us. When we call at the date and time she told us to, she does not pick up; instead, she texts us that she's in the middle of an event. All of these things are perfectly normal, human mistakes. We all get clients confused and talk to one as though they are another (like the "a few days ago" thing). We all overbook ourselves every once in a while and are unavailable after telling someone we would be. A professional would have simply apologized; instead, after I used *one sentence* of an email to express my disappointment about the missed call--- because my husband had taken off work to be available for it, so lost money for no reason--she used this as an excuse to threaten not to show up. Said she needed us to "confirm" in light of my "tone." In light of this, I decided not to speak to this person anymore unless absolutely necessary (i.e. at the party, for the sake of our guests). My husband took over talking to her, at which point we had a fun little role-reversal in which he was now the one reporting to me on a regular basis how rude Natasha was being to him. So at least I know it wasn't personal! Conclusion: If you just need to place a big food order and don't need to talk to the chef again after that, you can go with IBN and you'll probably be fine. If, however, you are planning an event of great importance to you--or just don't want to risk being treated like a burden for wanting to speak more than once with someone you're employing-- maybe look elsewhere.

    Natasha is an amazing chef! She was with us for a full day cooking brunch and dinner for my family…read moreof 8 adults for my son's first birthday party in Saugerties, NY. Everything she prepared was super delicious and everyone loved it. She was also really easy going and a pleasure to be around. The lead up to our event day was super organized, she was very responsive and easy to work with and even had to deal with our last minute change of location and an oven that was barely working (which she didn't let impact the menu or quality of the food at all!). Highly recommend and we'll certainly be calling her again the next time we're in the area.
