An Event to Remember Catering

We used An Event To Remember as the caterer for our wedding party. The food and service was outstanding! The price was reasonable. They also found us a DJ and a cake bakery. It was a night that my wife and I will remember for a long time. We plan on using An Event To Remember again for our next party at our anniversary.

No stars would be a better representation of our experience with this group. I have a long memory - our wedding too place in 2009 in spite of An Event to Remember. Not sure if they still exist but I surely would warn potential clients to steer clear. They took $1000 and of our money and did not perform even to closely to what they promised. We got absolutely NO ASSISTANCE from Kendra or Adrienne. They promise top quality and give no quality. Promises; promises; promises! Appointments that I was told had been set were not; they provided no assistance in A major disappointment at a very important time. They are losers.

Kendra Rodriguez of An Event To Remember made my now husband and I feel like we were a priority until the week before our wedding. Expenses dramatically increased in the days leading up to the wedding and in hindsight it feels like the frenzied state before a wedding was exploited. Still, we were pleased enough with the food and the event overall that we were willing to overlook the dramatic increase.Kendra contracted to stay at the wedding for the duration she left an hour or so after the reception started. We were not informed of her departure but instead suddenly found ourselves working with a different person. Messages and instructions that we had given Kendra were not relayed to this new person. As a result, the catering staff packed up all of the bakery's supplies and a personal item of mine that Kendra would have known was not the property of her company. All of this would have been manageable and we would have moved on--- until the days and weeks following our wedding. The baker was rightfully looking for her supplies, I was looking for my missing item and so I began seeking information from Kendra. Her responses took a long time and were not nearly as pleasant as her pre-wedding correspondence. We were told that she thought she had the baker supplies in a box somewhere...then that they might be in her warehouse but that she would have to ask her staff to look...then she just wanted to deal with the bakery, not me (even though I am ultimately the one responsible for bakery items since I have the contract with the bakery)...then she advised she was going to be off a couple of days...so I gave her those days...and the next thing I hear is from the baker saying that Kendra is telling them I am not responding to her! At that point I hit my limit and threatened legal action. She then met me with the supplies and money to cover the bakery supplies and my personal item that she claimed to never be able to locate. In summary, Kendra and her husband have a great business. The food is excellent. My assessment based upon my experience is that Kendra wants to control any and all aspects of the business and does not delegate well. In our case she had two weddings on Friday and then ours on Saturday and I think she just got completely worn out. I get it but my husband and I should not have been the ones to suffer for her stretching herself too thin. Ultimately I could have moved right along if she had moved quickly to correct her error, returned items promptly and/or compensated for those that were lost. Instead she chose to avoid, blame and ultimately lie and that is why this review is so lengthy. Be sure to dig deep on the internet to find negative reviews about the company--they are out there and unfortunately all in sync with what I experienced. I just could not find them on my first look because (in my opinion) they are removed if it can be done.

We used the Wedding Connection as the caterer for our wedding and they were by far our favorite vendor to work with! Adrienne took care of us and she was awesome to work with. The food we had was delicious (pecan crusted chicken, garlic mashed potatoes and grilled veggies). People still compliment us on the food! The waitstaff was also very professional and courteous. We couldn't have asked for anything more. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company. It was a great value for the money.

They took our $500 deposit for our event and later closed their business. Went to their address and found a leasing sign in the window. Have tried emailing, calling business phone number, and personal cell phone number with no responses. Website says it's been updated as of 2016 but business itself is unreachable.

I could not agree more with the reviewer from October 2013. I experienced a very similar situation when working with Kendra Rodriguez. At first, she was very attentive, encouraging and excited about my wedding scheduled in December 2013. In the months before my wedding, Kendra started increasing prices of contracted items, adding hidden fees, and reinterpreting things in my contract so that I was getting less for the same amount of money or more.Three weeks before the wedding, I requested the final invoice based on my final guest count. After not hearing from Kendra for a full week (and it is now 2 weeks before the wedding) I finally got a phone call from her new assistant telling me that she was going to be handling the details but that Kendra would be accessible and would still be coordinating my wedding on the day of. After spending the next 12 days going back and forth with the new assistant about details that were supposed to already be in place and the final invoice, it was the day before my wedding and I still did not have an accurate final invoice. She said she would email me the final version that evening. I called back at 8pm and told her I still hadn't received the balance info and I was at the hotel with my bridal party. She told me the number over the phone and that it must be a cashiers check. I explained that I had paid with personal checks the entire time and that was all I had. She said since it is so close to the wedding, I can ONLY pay with cashiers check. When I pointed out that it was Saturday night, my wedding was the next day and that banks are not going to be open, she said she understood and I could pay first thing Monday.I woke up on my wedding day and I start getting ready with my girls. I was feeling very relaxed, enjoying my girl time, when I get a phone call from the assistant again (by the way, it has now been a month since I have heard from Kendra herself even though she assured me she was the only person that would be managing my wedding and that she was my coordinator for the day of). Her assistant (who is very sweet and was unfortunately put in the middle) tells me that she has the final balance and I must pay that morning. My response was that "I need to speak with Kendra, NOW." When Kendra calls she repeats that they need me to pay that morning. I tell her that I am at the hotel getting ready and that is my wedding day. I had been asking for the balance for 3 weeks and she had not gotten it to me. She then tries to twist it and said that I kept making changes to the contract. If by "changes", she meant me pointing out their mistakes that they needed to fix, then she was correct. In fact, the final mistake that she needed to correct was a charge that they had added to the last invoice between other fees that she was hoping I wouldn't notice. When I called her out on it, she said she wasn't sure how that got there and she would look into it. So after attempting to blame me, she then repeated that she needed payment. I told her it was not possible to pay with a cashiers check but I could use a personal check or credit card. She then threatened that if she didn't receive the payment, services would not be rendered. So at this point, it is 10am on the day I am marrying my groom and I have been threatened that I will have no tables, no linens, no food, no bar, and non of my accessories that I had brought over for her to bring. I told her to think about it a little longer and to call me back. She then sent me a text saying she realized that it was Sunday and so I could pay with a credit card.I haven't heard from her since. She sent her staff to my wedding but never showed up herself. Her assistant was there to help, but she had admittedly never coordinated a wedding before. Her staff was very friendly but without direction, it was not well organized. They did not bring all of the items in my contract, such as the uplights or my day of coordinator Kendra, and she broke my contract in multiple ways. Thankfully, all my other vendors were absolutely amazing and helped pull things together. I am a laid back bride in the spectrum of things and didn't let it get to me (after all, it was my wedding day) but I told Kendra that I would not let this go unheard. She still has not returned my calls, texts or emails. She still has numerous items of mine, as well as the cake stand from my baker, and refuses to contact me so I may retrieve my belongings.
