I got married back in November 2022 and hesitated writing this review, but wanted to provide a…read morerealistic review of my experience with Redbook. As a bride the two most important things I wanted for my wedding and where most of wedding budget was going to was one food and second photography/videography. I chose Redbook based on the reviews and variety of food they provided. I am Vietnamese and my husband is American and we wanted to have food that reflected both of our upbringings. I appreciated that they had option to customize dishes. From the very beginning, I made it extremely clear I was a vegetarian. I made it clear through the booking, the wedding food tasting we paid extra for at $150, and multiple emails and calls. We made sure on our wedding day we had scheduled 30 minutes to eat before doing all wedding stuff (pictures, greeting tables, dances etc). Imagine my absolute HORROR when on my wedding day as the bride the plate was brought to me had meat on it. Ok mistakes happen - I told the server I am a vegetarian. She then proceeded to tell me she was not informed of this and there was NOT a plate for me and it would take 20 minutes to prepare my plate for me. It's one thing if you're the guest - it's another when you're the bride. My wedding planner could see the absolute devastation on my face and proceeded to try to correct this. I ended up having to wait almost full 20 minutes my food and my poor husband tried to give me some carrots off his plate. I ended up rushing to eat my meal and didn't even get to enjoy food we had paid for. Another was that some of the tables did not receive the food that was set on our menu, including some of the wedding party. We had paid more for table service and guests were disappointed they did not receive the food that was on the menu. The other issue was as well in the beginning, both me and my wedding planner had difficulty getting in contact with Adriana. I completely understand missing an email here and there, but we often would have to send 3 emails spaced multiple days apart before we heard in a response. We also would try phone call/texting and it would take some time before we heard a response. She did however improve once we had a conversation about it, which I appreciate. For full transparency we paid $30,964 for catering for 240 person wedding. This included family style service, charcuterie board for grazing for our cocktail hour, Vietnamese tostada for passing around, custom Vietnamese salad and soup for the table, shrimp dish, mushroom fried rice, ribeye, roasted chicken, mushroom "short ribs", roasted baby carrots, and celery root puree. It also included 5 vendor meals, gratuities, and serving platters. So you can imagine why my expectations were higher than received. Overall, I hope that Redbook improved since my wedding. I think overall I was disappointed - I believe I received better service and food at the wedding food tasting rather than my actual wedding. I didn't spare any expense when it came to food (in fact my husband and I had Salt and Straw our favorite ice cream company based in Portland ship their ice cream to us for our wedding) and it was sad that our guests remembered the ice cream more than the actual food. I acknowledge that Red Book was working at a new venue they had never worked at before, but still I would have expected better communication and overall better logistical planning for the price I paid.

I have a sour-sweet feeling about this catering service.

They did not offered a plated service, even so the staff was idling during their staying at our reception. They had an outstanding avocado bar. But the additional appetizers I asked for were served cold and mushy. The main course was Ok, so was the bar. Saddens me that the pictures of the food in my wedding are very lame. Unbelievable after what we paid. And should have been easy to accommodate for only 50 guests. Honestly, I do not recommend them unless they switch staff.

Kat, in the office, helped plan the evening and was so helpful throughout the whole process. When she walked me through the event details she captured everything they needed to know. The night of the event, they were on time, prepared, and well-staffed. We chose to have a plated meal and they served everything effortlessly to the room. The food was delicious and hot when it arrived at the tables. We had passed appetizers which were also a big hit during cocktail hour. I am so glad that we hired them and highly recommend them if you are planning an event in the Austin area.

If you are wondering whether you should go with LGH or another caterer, this is your sign to choose…read moreLGH! I would give them 10 stars if I could because... 1. Harvey and Teddy are such amazing, talented, and kind chefs! 2. Presentation will literally leave you speechless. 3. They serve healthy food that is sooooo good! I hired Harvey and Teddy of LGH for a big photoshoot I was producing in Austin and they exceeded my expectations. I am based out of Los Angeles and I had never been to Austin so as I was looking for an amazing production caterer I came to yelp for some direction. After much research, I was stuck between Harvey and another caterer. Ultimately I chose to originally go with another company but continued to keep Harvey in mind because of his detailed quote and good vibes. After the first day with the other caterer, my whole crew insisted that I find a different caterer for multiple reasons. With my client, Riddell, it was imperative that the food was not only delicious but that the presentation was impeccable. With less than 24 hours, I was in a panic to find a new caterer for the next 7 days of the job. I immediately reached out to Harvey and explained the situation. He was so kind and understanding about it all. After some discussion, he agreed to cater lunch the next day, promising amazing food with decor that will blow me away. You can imagine my hesitation after my previous experience.... Not only did Harvey get to the studio early to set the serving table, but he went above and beyond to match the decor to the theme of the shoot! He had Riddell red accents, custom signs, flowers, tiny boards that named the different entrees.... It was amazing. And the food... out of this world good! And very healthy! My crew left lunch in high spirits, ready to take on the rest of the day! I went on to hire Harvey and the team for the next 7 days for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They were always on time, answered all my calls/texts, went through the menu with me for each day and welcomed changes along the way, stayed within my budget, and overall was just such a pleasure to work with. In my line of work, I don't get to meet and work with such amazing, caring, personable vendors. By the end of the week Harvey and I became friends. Through long, stressful shoot days, Harvey's presence and conversation lifted my spirits and his food helped me get through late shoot days. I am truly blessed to have found him and Let's Get Healthy. My client, Riddell, and the rest of my crew had such a successful shoot and LGH had a lot to do with that. So, If you are in need of an amazing catering team that makes delicious food, I highly recommend Let's Get Healthy! They will blow you away!
