I scheduled a phone call with her about 2-3 weeks prior to the event where she gave me a thorough breakdown of the menu while giving me suggestions for what would go well with our expectations.

Her personality and communication is just as perfect as her dishes. Thanks for such a great experience.

I hired this caterer about a month in advance for a baby shower for approximately 20 guests, with a…read morefood order totaling over $1,200. They were scheduled to arrive at 3:00 PM on Saturday. By 3:20, no one had arrived and I still hadn't heard anything. Around 3:25, I began trying to contact someone. After finally reaching someone after 3:30, I was told the kitchen had been extremely busy that day. At that point, I began to suspect the food might not be coming. At 3:49 PM -- just minutes before guests were arriving for a two-hour event -- I received a call letting me know the food had not even been made yet. I was told it might be ready "in a couple hours," and they suggested I order food elsewhere instead. We were left scrambling at the absolute last minute. We ended up ordering pizzas and salad from a local restaurant while family members rushed to the grocery store to put together charcuterie boards in the kitchen as guests arrived. It was stressful, embarrassing, and honestly hard to believe. I have worked in hospitality, events, fundraising, and vendor management since 2008 -- from hotels to nonprofit development work -- and I regularly hire caterers, bartenders, and vendors for professional events. In all those years, I have never experienced a caterer simply not show up and fail to communicate beforehand that they would not be delivering. To their credit, the contact person did apologize afterward and explained they were understaffed and going through staffing challenges. She also stated they would refund the order and help reimburse the replacement food costs. However, nearly a week later, I still have not received the full refund or reimbursement. I understand that difficult days happen in the service industry. What was most disappointing here was the complete lack of communication before the event and the position it put us in as hosts. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable relying on this company again for an event.

I really had no idea exactly what I wanted, but after our first call and her suggestions I was very excited about the offerings and kept all Dani's excellent suggestions. Pricing was absolutely reasonable. They arrived on the day of the event promptly, set up everything beautifully on the serving space and were nothing but gracious and courteous the whole time. The guests LOVED the food. Especially the marinated chicken thighs and the potato salad. I even received comments from guests the veggie tray was one of the most beautiful they had ever seen. All the other dishes were delicious as well and there was more than enough to send leftovers home with everyone who wanted some. Busy Bee elevated my event into something even more special by providing such amazing food. I never worried once about any part of catering, as they were the easiest to work with all around. I would absolutely use them again and likely will!

I decided to order Christmas Eve dinner from them as I had everyone home for the holidays this year and it was 20 people. First of all it was very easy to order on-line from their holiday menu. The order was ready to pick up during the window it was supposed to be, but they forgot one item and my husband had to go back for it. I ordered the boneless sliced ham as I thought that would be an easy choice for all ages. It turned out that I had to spend a half-hour of my time trimming the ham. It was so fatty that I couldn't possibly serve it to my guests in the state it arrived! Very disappointing to say the least. The bakery items were the best, with dinner rolls, cookies and banana bread for Christmas breakfast all being big hits. Everyone also enjoyed the breakfast frittata.
