I am very disappointed with the service we received from Herban Feast. In the end, the wedding was…read morebeautiful and that is the only reason I am not leaving 1 star. The venue I got married at required us to rent all of the equipment and HF had been to the venue multiple times and said they would take care of the rental contract with the rental company. We got a sample contract and went over it with them and changed things to suit us then HF would make the changes with the rental company. Months later I went to the rental company to see the place settings in person and they pulled our contract and none of the updates had been made and many of our selections were no longer available so we had to make the changes ourselves. Something HF said they would take care of. Among the many things that had to be changed was glassware. We requested 200 small steins to be added on May 19th. On May 29th, HF confirmed the had updated equipment adds. We got the rental order straight from the rental company on June 24th and there was only 125 on the contract and they didn't have anymore available (photo attached). HF said they would charge us the rates they were paying for rentals plus a % service charge. The rental company sent us a copy of the contract created by HF and everything was cheaper than it was on our contract with HF. So we were paying a ~12% markup AND the service charge. Honestly, we wouldn't have cared about the extra cost had HF actually done what we asked with the rental company. Our coordinator was switched twice. When the changes happened, We had to start from square one each time, sending info we'd already sent. Often HF would only acknowledge one part of an email and we'd have to ask again. We were promised an updated quote by Friday, by Monday we didn't have it and followed up and were assured we would have it by the end of this week. Well, 6 weeks later we finally had the updated quote and it was missing changes (photo attached). They said they were busy with other weddings. The time wouldn't have been a big deal if they were clear about when we would have it. I know they were busy but to be frank, I don't care about the other weddings, I just wanted them to do what they said. Our main coordinator, BJ, seemed arrogant. At our tasting the salmon was raw, like totally translucent and cold. Other than that, the salmon was delicious so we requested it to be fully cooked. BJ told us the salmon was 'northwest style' and no one has ever complained about how it was cooked before, but that they could "overcook it" if that's what we wanted. I've had plenty of salmon and me, not the internet have ever heard of NW style. BJ acted as if we were the uninformed/ignorant ones but I think they made up northwest style to justify raw food. When we finally got the updated quote it was a completely different salmon dish. Changing this took way too many emails but we eventually figured it out. On the day of, everyone is waiting for food and my mom goes to check on it and the salmon is raw. Something we reiterated probably 10 times before the wedding. Now dinner is delayed 45 minutes. We also decided to add a 3rd side. Originally we had 2 sides with 200 servings each. When the 3rd was added, 200 servings were added, total 600 servings. I asked BJ if we needed an additional 200 servings for the same amount of people. He explained that when there's more options, people eat more. Feels like they're just trying to get us to spend more, but makes sense I guess. I then said "You can understand why this doesn't really make sense to me though right?" and he replied that he had no idea why it didn't make sense and he didn't know why I couldn't grasp it. It was very arrogant and condescending. We hired HF because we thought it would save us work but in the end it was much harder and more expensive. On the topic of money, HF was never clear how much we owed them. We had an original payment plan but so many changes were made to the contract so it wasn't accurate. After the event, they reached out and said we still owed a huge amount of money. This was super annoying because we had been asking them how much we owed. We were able to reduce this $ due to the issues explained. And now, for the first time, we received an apology. The apology seemed sincere which was greatly appreciated but it didn't come until after. Day of, the only real issue was dinner being late. Everything else was great. HF pulled it together so I'll give them credit for that. Despite the wonderful day, I would never use HF again because of how difficult they were to work with. HF is extremely expensive and I expected service of the same caliber. I am surprised by the lack of poor reviews for HF so hopefully my event was fluke. I hope my extensive review provides insight to both HF and those looking to hire them about their shortcomings.

SIS accommodated our special sourcing requests and provided detailed information about the farms and food purveyors they work with.

The staff: we coordinated with Ben, Catharine, and Pedro who were all responsive, professional, and helpful with answering our questions and helping us through the process. It was also very clearly distinguished what the customer vs caterer vs venue was responsible for which was so appreciated. The food: we were very impressed with the menu offerings, quality of food, and the amount of food provided! We had appetizers plus a stationary grazing table. For dinner we did buffet style with plenty of options for our guests that accommodated different dietary preferences. It also came with beverage service. Everything was delicious and our guests enjoyed everything as well. Service/other: what was nice was SIS contracts with a rental/linen company so we got our dish ware, glass ware, linens etc through them (SIS coordinated). They also provided servers and bartenders so they took care of everything from set up to tear down. Staff were a pleasure to work with!

The Catering services provided by Jon and Mary were brokered by Caspers on-site catering (the…read moreaforementioned southern restaurant in their business profile). The following review was of my experiences with Jon and Mary and their excellent catering services at my wedding reception, July 2010. "This is a review of Caspers on-site catering service provided by Jon N. and his wife. A little background info: Jon and his wife catered my wedding reception. We had a full menu of whole smoked chicken, bbq pork ribs, cornbread muffins, baked beans, hush puppies and a cucumber salad for a little over 100 people. The reception was located on private land, was held 100% outdoors. I have a severe reaction to MSG (monosodium glutamate), a spice found in many meat rubs and spice packs. I discussed this with the chef at Casper's before our tasting, to take place at the restaurant, and he assured me that he would prepare a special spice set just for our event to be sure it didn't contain MSG. The tasting went well and we decided to have them cater our event. The price was very reasonable at about $12.50/plate, left-overs are yours to keep, and they even prepared a kids menu of hot dogs and mac'n cheese, brought a 30 gallon cooler of ice, AND provided paper plates and utensils for serving at no extra charge. Now, up to this point I was giving them a solid 4 stars. Why 4? Because I was having a little trouble communicating with Jon via email at the beginning, a minor issue. But as you can see, they get 5 stars from me, here's why. On the weekend of our wedding there was a festival going on in a neighboring town and the ferry traffic was very heavy. This made our event run a little off schedule. Jon was not phased by this minor setback. He went well above the call of duty to accommodate our late guests and made everyone feel at home in his outdoor kitchen. They even prepared a couple surprise appetizers that weren't on the menu just for us to munch on. The food: Out of over 100 people, I got nothing but rave reviews from my guests. It was spectacular. The hushpuppies were a crowd favorite, crispy on the outside, a nice cornbread texture on the inside, and just the slightest pepper kick. A choice appetizer. The chicken was juicy and fall-off-the-bone tender. The ribs melted in your mouth and the rub was not too overpowering, bbq sauce served on the side (as it should be). The kids loved the mac'n cheese. After all my guests were relaxing in the sun and well fed, they quietly packaged up all the leftover food for us to keep, hooked up the trailer, and headed home. The next day, clean-up day, the rest of the food was gone after lunch. 5 stars: *Food, it was simply amazing, and at that price I could not have asked for more. *Flexibility, both in menu preparation (no msg) and with time. *Friendliness; they are the greatest people, very accommodating in every way. If you need something, just ask, they're there to help. And all my guests felt very welcome. *Self sufficient; all they needed from us was a 110v outlet to plug in the deep frier. (which they could have done without had they brought their generator). Working with them was worry-free. Just tell them where to setup and they do the rest. In the end, I was very pleased to say the least. I would recommend this service to anyone planning an outdoor wedding/reception. Any hiccups in the plans were like water off a ducks back for them. Just good people and great food, what else can I say? 5 stars, no question about that."

We just got married on Monday, and Jon and Mary catered for us. I couldn't wait any longer to write…read morea review, it was so unbelievably wonderful. I wish I had the words to describe how incredible these people are. They are beyond words. They're lovely, they're friendly, they're reliable and hardworking, and their food is some of the tastiest I've ever had. Period. Not just for weddings. Jon and Mary's food actually shaped most of our wedding... we'd always had a joke that all we needed for a successful celebration of our union would be hand dipped corn dogs and pulled pork sandwiches. In our tasting with Jon and Mary, I off-handedly mentioned it, knowing they could make pulled pork happen like nobody's business, but never expecting anything to come of the corndogs. Jon looked at Mary, then at me, and said, "Well, we can make that happen." He worked on his recipe for the next 9 months and made the most delicious skewers of small sausages covered in fluffy and crispy hushpuppy batter. (My maid of honor shoved one in my face immediately following the ceremony, and thank goodness because they were delicious and I hardly had any time to eat after that). That pretty much sealed the deal for us, and over the rest of the year, we only became more fond of Jon and Mary, as they responded to all of our requests, gave us updates on improved recipes, sent us photos of other events they were working on, connected me with another bride... the list goes on. One of the other things we liked about them was that it didn't feel like hiring "caterers," it felt like family members were cooking all the food, and it was so important to us to have a laid-back and comfortable wedding. The day-of came, and when I stepped out of the car, I smelled the most delicious smoke and barbeque and knew everything would be perfect. They smiled huge (I might have even seen them get a little misty, but it could have just been me), and were such an integral part of the night. They made sure my mom got extra fried green tomatoes, helped my grandmother find a plate when we'd run out so she could have her slice of pie, were friendly to my guests, waved us off at the end of the night... and we received nothing but rave reviews, from my usually disgruntled cousin's "This is the kind of food people SHOULD have at weddings," to "This is the most juicy and delicious chicken" to "This is hands down the best food I've ever had at a wedding." And knowing we were in good hands there allowed us to branch out and figure out the other pieces we wanted: a bluegrass band, a country feel, mason jars, etc. They went the extra mile. There was never a question they didn't want to answer, never a time they were too busy to chat or meet with me, no request that was ridiculous, and not one bit of dry meat on those chicken thighs. It was out of control good, and they are out of control good people, whose love and care show through in their food and amazing attitudes. Thank you for the best wedding we ever could have asked for - we can't wait to be married for a while so we can hire you for an anniversary! Love, J & J

When I walked in every host was friendly and greeted me warmly. The space they chose to host their tasting was large and spacious, minimally yet tastefully decorated. The staff were absolutely impressive. They were kind yet subtle. You barely noticed them shifting in and out to clear dishes or serve additional food. I was also impressed with just how organized and attention to detail they were. Barely any plates were left behind from the event even though people were randomly leaving them in awkward places. As far as the office staff is concerned they were just as exceptional. I was truly impressed with their work and they color coded our names to match who we had been corresponding with, which I just thought was beyond brilliant. I've had the pleasure to work with Annalee, and she took time to answer questions even in a room full of other guest. She really made me feel 1:1 with her. LETS TALK FOOD!!! I know that's what you're here for!!! As you saw from the photos the buffet was beautiful displayed and the style they chose was perfect for doing a double sided buffet to get everyone through quickly. The hors d'oeuvres- I reallllllly loved the apricot & prosciutto canapé! I wanted to eat (5) of them!!! They kept going quickly as well! Tad small in size, it's truly a bite size taste. As far as the salmon fouetté.... not my thing. It had a strong salmon flavor. I did however enjoy the corn cake! Now that I was truly impressed with! It was just as corn cake should be! The salad- Not over dresses, but this particular salad was a touch sweet. However that is the nature of the style salad and I absolutely it. The lemon Orzo- personally I was not a fan of this. The taste was fine and the pasta seemed to be cooked well. However I don't always care for lemon, which could just be my personal preference. The mediterranean Mezzé - very traditional. Presented absolutely beautifully. Everything was very yummy from what I got to try. The Local Seasonal Vegetable- delightful! For winter it can always be hard to get local vegetables and have a combo that works. But these were done very nicely. It was a combination of beets, carrots,& red peppers. All of which were cooked nicely. The carrots to me were crunchier then I was expecting, yet I enjoyed the contracts. The Mediterranean Inspired Chicken- this was intriguing to say the least. The first time I tried it I didn't know if I liked it or not. The chicken however was nicely done. When I went to try it again I did enjoy it, so maybe it was because I was trying so many different things? Again, the second time I tried it, the chicken was done very well. Not bad for buffet style! Seriously! It wasn't done well, not chewy or inedible. This was a big thing for me as I HATE buffet chicken usually due to how dry it can be. This was not that! The mashed potatoes- YUM YUM YUM!!!!!! I said if these arnt good then we can't go with them because I NEED mashed potatoes at my wedding..... damn they were good. They also went the fasted. I couldn't ever get a good shot of them! So in the spirt to showing you how good they are, the photo speaks for itself. Now For my biggest dish and the whole reason I went (plus the mash) The Braised Oregon Country Short Ribs in a Malbec reduction.......... Wow Wow WOW!!! This was so delicious. I'm drooling as I write this part. The meat was tender and falling apart. The sauce was reduced just right and there was enough but not to much. It covered a lot of the meat. This really set my decision in stone. It was very very good. I wanted a dish at my wedding that people wouldn't forget and I don't this they will forget this I'm the best way possible! I'm originally from Pennsylvania and we are a meat and potatoes type of wedding (with very dry chicken and way to many homemade cookies) When my guest come, I want them to be impressed with the food they flew 3,000 miles to eat. I think this will hit the mark!!! Excited to proceed with the process and hopefully make these Ravishing Radish our catering company!
