We had our wedding at Hawks Landing on 10/31/24.
After touring and speaking with them we were given a few catering companies that they work with as "part" of planning your wedding with them as a venue.
We decided with based on what we were seeing that Spice Catering was the better of the options, visually. I will not be personally naming names in this review. However, we had a horrible experience with almost every person we spoke to from Spice.Miscommunications, not responding to emails, telling us one thing over the phone and another thing via contract.
The food was good, better than ok but definitely not the type of food where you get to "act" a certain way because it 's just "THAT" good where people could possibly forgive crappy, unprofessional attitudes for.
We were told because we were having a week day wedding that there would be an adjusted price, that never happened; apparently we were some how given an "old" catering menu which already reflected a decreased price; and should have used our telepathy to know that.
We were asked to make a spread sheet of every guest and what meal they were receiving, plus how many children we had 11 and under etc as this would also change the out the door price. My sister and I ended up doing more work for this catering company than any other vendor we had AND we actually paid the catering company for an ADDITIONAL person who was handling this- we had plated dinner instead of buffet style which apparently for 76 people put spice over the edge. And we were charged initially TWICE for the same guests.
3 days before the wedding they tried to tell us that all of the kids at our event would be eating chicken tenders and not the meals they had picked MONTHS ago when sending back their RSVP'S. This was never discussed as an option at all. What we were told was; that children would get a smaller plated portion of whatever they chose at a discounted rate.
Spice was all about the money and all about being as rude as they possibly could and I am truly disappointed in their lack of professionalism, turn around time and their immediate need to blame other people. There was 0 accountability and to be honest I was petrified day of, as food is one of the most important things at a wedding. I do not want any other bride to feel that way, so hopefully after this review Spice gets their act together or other brides go with another catering option. read more
