Chef Steven Moore did a lovely job of catering my daughter’s combination graduation/birthday brunch. The food was very tasty and fresh. Communication prior to the event was excellent and when he was here he was charming with our guests. My only critique would be that we had prearranged that he would arrive 2 hours early for his set up. He actually arrived a half hour before my guests arrived, which as you can imagine caused me to stress and worry. Also the food was not ready to be served until about 1/2 hour after my guests arrived. Fortunately we had mimosas flowing so it wasn’t too problematic, but I would have much preferred a more timely arrival.

Details: Graduation party • Breakfast or brunch • American - casual • Buffet • Yes, full service • Home • Yes, full kitchen • 40 - 49 guests • Serving and warming equipment • I'm flexible

Thank you. We are happy that you enjoyed the food. Our time to arrive is an estimated time per our contract. Even though we arrived 30 minutes prior to serving time, the food was already ready to go. We announced several times that guest were able to eat while other food was being prepared but no one ate until about 40 minutes after we made our first announcement, so we had to go around again to tell everyone a second time and that’s when my assistant finally found you. But we had an amazing time. Thank you for having us.

The quality of food tasted amazing! I gave an average rating because at the first consultation I asked if am able to adjust the numbers as the guest RSVP. Answer was yes… September 5th a month before our wedding, I informed him that the number changed. I didn’t get the revised invoice until I sent him another message that my count has changed. He was unresponsive until he needed to get paid… also unresponsive days leading to the wedding (days meaning we had a walkthrough of the venue Friday Oct 11th, my wedding coordinator couldn’t get ahold of him and his team. Saturday Oct 12th no contact, Sunday October 13th NO CONTACT the day of) [talk about stressed]……. On the contract it stated special dessert for Bride and groom… we didn’t see it. On a text he stated “ Yes, you will have amazing food and we will continue to serve food until every guest and vendor are fully done.” After they finished they packed up with whatever food was left and we assume took it with them, as we were not notified of where or who it was left with. Our guest were limited to their serving sizes, mind you my guest count changed from 88 to 66 but approximately half actually arrived…. If you’re looking to book him: my advised is start low on the count of people and add as your people RSVP. You’ll get a better price than starting high.

Details: Wedding • Dinner • Cocktail hour or hors d'oeuvres • Non-alcoholic drinks • American - casual • Italian • Mexican or Latin American • Asian • Small bites • Yes, full service • Community center • No kitchen • 70 - 79 guests • Cloth napkins • Serving and warming equipment • Standard (basic ingredients)

Hi, we are not sure why you are leaving a bad review, your husband, wedding planner and guests said that it was the best service that they’ve ever had. We just received an email stating that you did not like the color of our skin and that you woke up the next morning realizing that you could not afford the wedding due to the fact that only 30 guests showed up for you when 88 were invited. so you decided to attack the black owned company which isn’t far. We work very hard and shouldn’t be judged by the color of our skin. The guest all loved the food, all appetizers and food went out on time. The wedding planner loved us so much that she added us to her top caterers list and the special dessert was complimentary, (meaning free). We were advised that there wasn’t a kitchen for us to bake our special pull apart bread so how would it be possible to make a free dessert? Also, it is against health code to leave left over food with guests. Not only did everyone eat 3 to 4 times each but there was a younger girl that ate the Mac & Cheese more than 7 times, we kept count as we laughed at the thought that she loved it so much. Please stop trying to ruin black businesses with these negative reviews. We literally did everything correctly and have pictures and proof of the full day. The videographers loved the food so much that one of them ate 3 full plates lol. There were also allergies that we were not aware of and we made sure that everyone was safe and that all utensils and gloves were changed to prevent contamination. I am very shocked by this review. We really pray that you won’t tarnish another small businesses in the future. We work so hard and provide top tier service. Thank you & God Bless
