I selected this company to cater my wedding, and it unfortunately was a disappointment. Throughout…read morethe process despite being explicit about our wishes, there were large errors on our wedding day. We requested to have chicken with a white wine/sage sauce, and instead on our wedding day it was just breaded chicken with no sauce. Similarly we requested salmon with their blackberry/bourbon glaze, and instead there was just baked salmon with no sauce. The food was additionally lukewarm, and those were our two main entrees, so that was extremely frustrating. With our charcuterie grazing board at cocktail hour, there were no crackers or crostinis present despite that being in the description and on our contract. We spent so much money and devotion on this aspect of our wedding day, only to have these issues occur and guests state their dislike of the food quality/taste. Communication with this vendor was overall frustrating as the owner would often check up/clarify decisions that have already been established, and the items that she hoped to confirm were often not accurate. Five days before our wedding, she had asked to confirm if we had one passed appetizer, when we had previously established the 3 items we wanted passed around. I also did not utilize their rental services for glassware/cutlery, and because of this they were not planning to supply anything for our cocktail hour despite having a stationary table and passed appetizers. If I did not inquire about it, they were not even going to provide us with cocktail napkins for the passed appetizers! I have been in contact with the vendor since and she was able to provide us with a partial refund (about 1/7 or 14% of what we paid), however this will not change my feelings or frustration present during my wedding day. I would not recommend using this company for wedding catering.

I emailed Early Katering for a destination wedding in the mountains of VA. My fiance and I met…read morewith the chef and his wife early in September for a June wedding. What a delightful couple and the food at the tasting was excellent! In October, I requested contract information from EK with a bid for service. I was told that they were super busy and I would hear back from them the week of Thanksgiving during EK's slower period. Two weeks after Thanksgiving, I emailed again asking for a bid and once again was informed that they were super busy and I would hear from them at Christmas. As of this date (1/11/17), I still am waiting on that email. Needless to say, we have another caterer for our wedding. After 25 years working in customer service, I would never tell a potential client that I was too busy for them...once, let alone twice.
