Greenfield Catering

Disclaimer: I got married several years ago, and haven't really followed the knot much since, but my experience was so notable, i felt compelled to log in and review this place. They were, by far, the absolute worst wedding caterer i've ever experienced. I've been to a couple dozen weddings over the years, and it's not even close - this place is the worst. I recently attended a wedding that was supposed to be catered by this company. "Supposed to." Yeah, i mean, technically they kinda did something, but i'd hardly call it "catering." First off, they showed up over two hours late. yeah, that's exactly what the bride and groom want to be dealing with right before their wedding. the wedding party (myself included) tried to keep tabs on it, but all phone calls to them went unanswered. they eventually showed up, as we were working out backup options. next, because they showed up late, dinner was late. most people didn't notice because the venue forced them to extend the cocktail hour, but uh, they came horribly stocked for cocktail hour. There were two signature drinks, and apparently they didn't bring enough ingredients for everyone to have one. Also went up to them during cocktail hour to ask if they could give me some lemonade for a couple kids who were there. The answer was a resounding, "No." They actually said no to lemonade for children. Tried having a bridesmaid go up and ask, also a solid no. They didn't have enough to spare. "What about water?" Also no. This bartender was a real piece of work. This ticked off the wedding coordinator to no end, who sent his own staff to a gas station for water, lemonade, and other essentials because the caterer was too damn lazy to do it themselves. You might be asking, why go to the bar for lemonade, surely there were other sources of non-alcoholic drinks? Well, there was supposed to be. The caterer was paid to provide lemonade and iced tea, but they didn't. Then dinner (you can see where this is going). Well, they ran out of food. It wasn't a large wedding, either, only about 100 people, but they ran out of both entrees. This wasn't a served plate, it was a buffet style. They ran out of one dish very early, then the other one a bit later. They also ran out of bread. A handful of people only had vegetables for dinner (peas/carrots/green beans). Food that was actually provided was horrendously overcooked and lacked any flavor at all. This place is allegedly run by a well-established chef, but any idiot could've cooked this food better than they did. Guess they cooked everything under high++ heat to make up for being late. To call the food, "arid," would be generous. Afterwards, they tried to close the bar at 8:30P instead of 10P like they were paid to do, but the wedding venue manager put them in line on that one. They also put out one pot of coffee, which was gone pretty much instantaneously, leaving decaf which was also finished off. Oh, and through all of this, no napkins. The caterer didn't provide napkins. They forgot. Overall, this is easily, without a doubt, by far, the absolute worst wedding meal i've ever had in my life. They should be ashamed of themselves and not only refund what they were paid, but compensate the bride/groom for the trouble they caused. An absolute disgrace.
