I finally had to put a timeline in a PDF so I can keep the timeline straight. 2) Beware - the agreement you sign is just an agreement with your signature and a deposit check. They'll make up their own rules later with attachments which you don't sign, which is a total sham. 3) We paid for 100 guests and we had 28 people who could not attend for one reason or another, which is a large percentage of no-shows unfortunately. Upon asking her business partner, Matt Wyss for the left-over food towards the end of our wedding reception, Matt said he saved "this" for us. "This" was a VERY small container of food. I asked Matt, "What's this" We had practically 30 no-shows and this is all you have left? Marcie assured me I would get all the left-overs and I have that in writing. He said that's what's left after feeding his staff. I said, Marcie specifically said she would NOT be feeding her staff. I was very angry. I took what they saved and left. 4) My partner also found gifts under a table. It was unfortunate that as a matter of routine, they don't have their help search under tables for items such as wedding gifts. 5) I can easily say, STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY FOR CATERING NEEDS. 6) Pic of the food to follow...

My fiance and I have been on the search for caterers for our upcoming wedding. Fortunately our…read morevenue has a open house every Tuesday night with the exception of the fourth Tuesday of the month. Walking into the grand room was intimidating. There were three different catering businesses present and we were greeted by a woman representing Serves you Right Catering. At first she was friendly - she handed us this big packet of information that was a bit overwhelming. I had specific questions that I wanted to ask - I didn't want to read a dissertation on the company history or any of that. When I asked her my questions, she gave me this passive aggressive attitude and said all my questions would be answered in the packet. I was really polite (considering this was my first time at this open house) and I had no intention of getting nasty at all what-so-ever. After noticing her resistance towards us, my fiance and I went to the other caterers that were present and they were more than happy to fill us in with their company and what types of accommodations they have for our guests. Prior to leaving the premises, I wrote my information down on all caterers sign in sheet to have them e-mail me additional information. I've received information from all caterers from that night and all the leading Tuesdays open houses, with the exception of Serves You Right. I did research on this company and noticed that there were a handful of negative reviews posted on Yelp from prior clients of SYR (see hidden reviews). Although the hidden reviews are hidden for a specific purpose, I couldn't resist crossing this company off my list because of the consistent problems each client had with the representative (woman that we met). All I'm aware of is that I'd hate to have to deal with a woman that can't assist, be flexible, or understanding if a family emergency were to pop up (knock on wood). The last thing that I'd want for my wedding is shelling out a few thousand dollars and having to bicker about expectations or having my day ruined. Be careful if you chose this company and trend lightly if you feel like you're walking on egg shells with Marcie.

Here's what I liked about working with Antoinette, Sean and their crew: they made it easy, and they did their work quietly, without drama, and produced beautiful, tasty food that my guests were absolutely delighted with. The service was exquisite and on point. 5 stars! Here's what we had - (soon you'll be drooling, sorry) *Toasted Almond & Candied Pear Goat Cheese Truffles *Lobster Club Sandwiches (bite sized) *Corn Arepas with Berkshire Pulled Pork *Sliced Lamb Loin on Minted Spring Pea Risotto *Fennel Crusted Seabass with Shaved Citrus Brussel Sprouts Now don't you wish you were on my guest list?

They were innovative, adventurous, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to work with. They cover every single detail. 1) Antoinette was a fabulous planner - the ambiance, lighting, decor - everything was great. We transformed the gym like Community Center of Joaquin Miller Park into a gorgeous, earthy and elegant space. Antoinette was great about turning our vision into a reality, and she was very attuned with our style, budget and hopes for the event. We had a great time planning it all, and when the night actually arrived it was amazing to see how beautifully it all came together. 2) Sean and the food team - AMAZING. I am a food lover, and wanted many different kinds of food at our wedding. We had a world survey of food - and it was fantastic. Quoting all of my guests, "that was the best food I've ever had at a wedding, and maybe even ever." People are still talking about it. I am still dreaming about it. 3)Michael The Day of Coordinator and the staff: So incredibly professional, on point, warm, personable, and easy to work with. Great at taking care of the guests without being too noticeable. There was one staff member that was entirely in charge of making sure that my husband and I got to eat and had all needs taken care of throughout the night, and that was awesome. Overall, the best possible decision we could have made was working with Antoinette and Sean. From start to finish, a great and memorable experience!

However my personal experience with them was at a summer wedding I attended at a Marin venue with an awesome ocean view. I was mightily impressed. The service staff did a truly excellent job getting the food out and keeping the wine flowing and the ambiance friendly and upbeat. But the menu - the menu was sensational. First some luscious appetizers: crab-mango-avocado tostaditas, then South American corn blinis and, finally a couple kinds of Empanadas with great dipping sauces. The entree course was masterful - hands down the most flavorful seafood-duck n' chicken paella I've ever tasted, a very distinctive vegetarian tamale pie, a kind of Mexican lasagna with layers of corn tortillas, cheeses, rich spicy tomato sauce and mushrooms, spinach and corn. Last, but definitely not least - grass-fed leg of lamb, mesquite grilled on site, cooked perfectly rare and tender, with a hellaciously good chimichurri sauce - OMG!!! The groom told me how happy he was with the pricing considering the impressive level of cuisine and GigaBites' quality, sustainable sourcing. I chatted with the chef-owner Gabe after the meal was served. He seemed satisfied with the outcome of his effort (he was drinking a big glass of red wine). He told me he really enjoys catering weddings and helping to make them memorable.

The food was fresh, delicious and looked beautiful--and working with Gabe was a pleasure. I would recommend GigaBites to anyone looking for a reliable caterer for business or personal events taking place in the Bay Area. The catering was THE most important element of the party, and right out of the gate I trusted Gabe and knew he would do an amazing job. He and I worked together to create a menu that was healthy, delicious, and took into account the ages of our guests (both men and women ranging from 20 to 60 years old)--all while being aesthetically pleasing. From food selection to directing my attention to small details (that I likely would have overlooked), Gabe was personally involved every step of the way. He stayed in close contact in the weeks leading up to the event, and as the guest list changed, he would make recommendations and tweaks to the plan to ensure we were still on track. On the day of the event, Gabe and his team arrived early and handled the entire set up--they even lent a hand in putting up decorations as well as making a last minute run to the grocery store for us. Gabe--thank you for helping me make this special day so incredibly perfect and memorable. I couldn't have done it without you!
