Upon our search for caterers, Polonia put together a nice proposal that aligned with our budget, so we decided to do a tasting. The tasting was good and the food was what it was. W...e didn't love everything, but we liked it enough. I had a few additional questions and we were told that we needed to decide soon, as the date we want, is filling up and people are requesting it. Our tasting was in October and our wedding was not until the following July. I spoke with and dealt solely with Mike and I went over a lot of questions before putting down the down payment. I was completely dooped with Polonia. We scheduled a walk-through with my venue and at that time came the initial "nickel and diming". Mike said they would need to charge me extra to "take out or remove the garbage". We were told that water service was not included and that our guests could get "bottle water at the bar", and to have the waitstaff actually pour the water, was going to cost us extra in addition to paying for each water goblet. I had asked if they would do any unique set up with the food and or decor, which they would not, and pretty much it was going to look like banquet instead of wedding food. With all the extra nickel and diming that was occurring, we would be WAY over budget, not to mention the distrust and not forthcoming with this information BEFORE we put down the down-payment. We decided to look for a new and different caterer. We fell in love with a new caterer who was upfront about everything, their food was amazing and their setup and decor was fantastic. I reached out to Polonia to get our down payment back and they said they would not. I corresponded with Mike and he finally told me, that if they "book another wedding for the day" then they would refund me the money. Little did we know, they do multiple events a day so beware! They never refunded our money and I DO NOT recommend Polonia. Do not ever let anyone tell you, your date is in demand, as it is a selling tactic.
