Would highly recommend Brasato for catering! Melissa is so organized and so easy to get a hold of for questions and any issues the entire way. The food is incredible-- we have reci...
eved so many complements from our guests for weeks about how amazing the food was from cocktail hour to the late night pizza. I am unable to speak highly enough of them. They took care of so many details and went above and beyond the call of duty! Don't waste your time with any other vendor for catering!
We booked this caterer a full year in advance for both our catering and wedding planning. Just three days before our wedding, they canceled both services.
We were told they had...
three weddings booked that weekend, and it seemed they had taken on more than they could handle.
They also used our final payment as a reason for canceling, even though they had previously agreed to let us make the payment two days after the contract date. They canceled at 9:01 that morning before we even had the opportunity to contact our bank to increase our transaction limit and make the payment.
Being left without both a caterer and wedding planner just three days before our wedding was incredibly stressful and disappointing.
Thankfully, we found another caterer who stepped up for us at the last minute.
To make matters worse, after canceling on us three days before our wedding, they refused to return our deposit.
When I contacted the owner directly, I was shocked by his attitude. Rather than showing any remorse or concern for leaving us without a caterer just three days before our wedding, he came across as smug and dismissive. He even said, “I hope I didn’t ruin your day.” The way he said it made me feel as though he was actually hoping our wedding had been ruined. It was an incredibly insensitive response from someone we had trusted with one of the most important days of our lives.
When you book a company a year in advance for one of the most important days of your life, you expect professionalism, reliability, and someone you can trust. Unfortunately, that was not our experience.
I would never want another couple to experience the stress, disappointment, and uncertainty we went through just days before their wedding. No couple deserves to be put in that position, especially after trusting a company with such an important event.
Based on our experience, I would highly recommend staying away from this company. There are plenty of other caterers who will value your business, honor their commitments, and treat your wedding day with the importance it deserves.
I cannot say enough good things about Brasato. Most importantly, the food is absolutely delicous and the choices are endless! And of equal importance, their manager Melissa is incr...
edible at eveything catering. She is so responsive, no amount of questions are too many, and she helped us curate the perfect menu. The tasting experience was so much fun. And day of, Melissa was everywhere making sure everthing was seamless. Her staff was wonderful, and everyone is raving about the food still. Don't skip the beef tenderloin!!
Brasato is a 10/10 caterer and I would 100% recommend working with them! Melissa is fantastic to plan and work with and is there for you every step of the way! The food is absolute...
ly AMAZING! You will NOT be disappointed with anything you choose (there are so many options!). The staff are so kind and unbelievably good at what they do. My guests are still raving about their food and ability to serve with professionalism. You will regret not going with Brasato for your caterer!
Hiring Brasato means that you can put aside all catering worries for your special event. Everything, from the communication to the food itself, was immaculate for our wedding. Meli...
ssa is an incredible coordinator who will walk with you through the smallest details. Then, on the day, the whole team executes at such a high level. They were happy to work with us and our other vendors, down to asking where we would like the salt and pepper shakers placed on the tables we had decorated. They went above and beyond in every way imaginable, and again, the food was incredible. They even packaged up the leftovers for us to take home and enjoy in the following days. We’re only sad that our time working with Brasato is over because it was genuinely so enjoyable and collaborative. We couldn’t imagine a better catering option. If we could give them 10 stars we would. Photos by @t.johannaphotography
Where can we begin...Brasato was recommended to us by our wedding venue, we booked them without even having tried the food. We had seen pictures of events they catered and had read...
their menus and that sold it for us! When we went for our tasting we were blown away, it was very hard to decide what we wanted to serve for appetizers and main dishes. I’m pretty sure I could eat all their chicken dishes every day and be happy! Guests raved about our wedding food, and were shocked at the quality and flavor combinations. We had a lot of guests tell us that they could not finish their main dish because the appetizers were out of this world and they filled up on them. Their staff was amazing, Melissa was so accommodating with our food allergies and requests, and was fun to talk to. She even gave us snacks during our reception before they started their long drive home! While we are not planning another wedding, we are looking for a way to use Brasato as a caterer again. And we are so lucky because their food truck frequents our wedding venue and we are able to go get a taste of their food on those days! We would recommend Brasato for any event you plan without hesitation, you will not be disappointed!
We hired Brasato Catering for our wedding, and they completely exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely phenomena, so much so that multiple guests came up to us asking wh...
ere we found them, with some even saying it was the best meal they’ve ever had at a wedding. Beyond the incredible food, their presentation was beautiful and thoughtfully arranged, adding an extra touch of elegance to the day. The Brasato team was professional, flexible, and easy to work with, helping us stay within budget without compromising quality. We can’t recommend them highly enough!
We hired Brasato to cater our wedding on September 25th, and it could not have been a better experience. Brasato offered a large variety of delicious and unique dishes, including o...
ptions for guests with allergies. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and the tasting was awesome! At the wedding, they made sure the amazing appetizers were readily available. The buffet was set up well, the food was always hot, and trays were consistently replaced before they were empty. There was a staff member there to assist anyone with questions and help people with special dietary needs find food that would agree with them. We had numerous guests raving that it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding, and we’re still hearing about it over 2 weeks later! Brasato went above and beyond to provide top notch service from start to finish, we are very grateful we didn’t have to worry about a thing and that all the food was such a hit! My only regret was not getting to enjoy more of the appetizers. We would highly recommend Brasato to anyone and everyone, it was a fantastic experience!
