Well, I thought this was going to be a great experience, but turned out NOT. We were planning to have our Wedding reception catered by Vine Catering. I was working with Vine Catering for over a yr., we had the menu and cost all coordinated, with the menu provided by Chef Ynez. However we had to postpone the wedding/reception and notified Vine Catering. Well the time came and I called, but to find out the person I was working with was no longer there. I finally was able to make contact with Chef Ynez, and provided him what we were quoted. He replied and the cost had gone up substantially...like a $1000.00..Ouch. He said it was almost 2yrs, since the quote and the cost of food had gone up. Though I didn't think this sounded right, we sent ahead and told the Chef we were going to move forward. I sent him email and phone messages and he did not reply. The reason I wanted to talk with him, was I wanted to send in a deposit to secure the date which I had previously given him. So we have now been going back and forth for about 6 weeks..I was finally able to talk to him on the phone, (Friday) and he then tells me he might be booked already with another event..I could not believe he was telling me this..The Wedding is 6 months away and he new we had been planning this for sometime. He then told me he was going to call me back the following Monday..Monday came and he never called. Tuesday came and he did not call, so I waited til the afternoon and then called him. I spoke with him and he told me he was already booked for that day and could not caterer out reception. To say the least I was furious. As he was talking I HUNG UP on him..I could not believe he could do this. This was not a surprise to him. We had been talking for a few months about the reception. He lack of respect, and not valuing other peoples (potential customers) time is irresponsible. He does not get back to you in a timely fashion and you have to basically hound him..I would not recommend him or this catering service for any event and I will be telling all my friends about how he treated my fiancé and me. read more
