Center of the Plate Catering

that. I will admit we were concerned up to the date of the wedding and are fears were confirmed! The caterer apparently got into an accident on the way to the venue. Although that may be true we were not shown an accident report and her vehicle showed old damage….most importantly she did not communicate to us or the poor guys who were serving….they stated they tried numerous times to call her but she would not answer her calls. They had salads to serve…but no salad dressings. While we did everything we could to hold off our hungry crowd of 180 people (we went into town to buy salad dressing so we could at least serve a salad) my brother did get ahold of the caterer, after many attempts, who very unapologetically said she was in an accident and would be there soon. We served salads with our dressing and an hour later she arrived…angrily and unprofessionally told us she hoped we saved our receipts to return the dressing because she was there now with dressing. As if we should have waited an hour and a half for her. We had to change the evening by doing early speeches, lost time with our photographer and the venue (who both felt so sorry for us) Even her staff told us they were embarrassed and so sorry and would be incredibly upset if it was their event. She was rude, told us we were lucky she wasn’t hurt and that “at least the food had arrived”. She acted angry and slapped the food on plates when she FINALLY did serve the dinner and in the end of the evening aplologized for being short and defensive. No concessions, nothing offered in the way of a discount…just a half hearted sorry for being rude. Please save yourself the stress and uncertainty and stay far away from this caterer. I was told that she used to be a great person to work with several years ago but has definitely changed for whatever reason and is no longer a preferred caterer by our venue.
