Food was great customer service was terrible. Upon our reception we recievied the incorrect table clothes after planning a sitdown with kathy over a year in advance (in which we went through their "highly recommended lining comany) only to find out that they serviced us with yellow (poppy) table cloths for our cookie table (colors were lavender and white). When I talked to Kathy, although she seemed all for us up until that point said there was nothing she could do, it took an ongoing verbal conflict which concluded to her husband getting on the phone and him saying " he didn't care for me talking

Just have to rave about Gourmet Affairs! My son's wedding was just July 2. The staff and food were absolutely phenomenal! I would recommend them to everyone. The ONLY thing though that we did not care for, was our guests carrying their plates to the buffet. It took away from the elegance of the wedding. Other than that, you MUST try them!! Thank you Kathy and ALL her staff!!!
