We used them for catering a birthday party at our house for 30 people. The food was good and they…read moremanaged to fit a decent menu within the budget we were looking for. Would highly recommend their service.

First the positives: the guests for our party were sent a survey, and they gave rave reviews for…read moreDeSilva's food. There was a lot of love for the burger sliders, chicken tenders, and shrimp. The servers were so helpful, friendly, and joyful during and before event. There were even three chefs, one of them a head chef, actually in attendance making food at the party. After the party, I found out that DeSilva even made a lot of custom orders for the party guests. Positive critique from the party attendees was that some of the food was cut too large to eat in one bite and they were not served with silverware such as the salmon shooters. The negatives: the owner missed her appointment to view our space, then showed up late to the reschedule appointment, and showed up at the start of the party. The owner's response was that she was bringing the hot food and wanted to show up as close to the party start as possible to keep the hot food hot. Showing up at the start of the party did not give us time to inform her of a few changes we made. We had purchased additional food to serve as sides to their passed hors d' oeuvres because there was lot of concern from our HQ the closer we got to the party about alcohol consumption, and concern from our employees about being full. We were going to put this out ourselves but the chefs from the caterer insisted that they would put the food out for us. I don't want to really go into it, but they put our food out so late and in such a small quantity that I feel like it was a power move by the chef to make sure their food received a spotlight. We should have served our sides ourselves as planned because our people love that type of stuff. There was a lot of waste. Part of our event package was pre-packaged to-go boxes for our guests which were to include cupcakes and macaroons. We received 150 cupcakes which received mixed reviews, some extremely good and some not, but no macaroons. We do appreciate the owner attempting to make it right by bringing fresh macaroons for our holiday lunch (arrived after the lunch) but we only received 47 boxes with two macaroons in each. Our headcount for the party was 150 people, the owner's response when asked if there were 150 macaroons was "I didn't know how many people you have". Also, one box of 2 was missing, and one box only had 1 macaroon in it. I don't think the desserts were worth $3k. The most aggravating issue was that we were charged $500 for cleanup and breakdown and the catering company did not clean up. They brought a grease fryer to cook the food and did not clean up the greasy floors that were caused by using the appliance, 10 over-full trash bags were left leaking all over the floor, the food that was dropped during preparation wasn't attempted to be picked up. They somehow used up all of our cleaning supplies without actually cleaning. The owner's response was that she was told (by someone who was not their point of contact) not to worry about cleaning and that we have a cleaning crew that would come clean the following day. They had been using this person as a point of contact instead of calling me because they "saw I was having a good time". I did not get to join the party until after 8pm, even then I was available to all of our vendors the entire time. She also said that she didn't know if there was a mop. Any of us could have provided this. The catering team was gone within an hour of the party ending. Leaving without telling me even though they did see me to ask me if I liked their cupcake. My team had to come in and clean the filthy nightmare that they left the next day. So in the end, would I recommend DeSilva's Kitchen? Yes, but with caution. The food and service was great, and your guests will enjoy them. However, you may be incredibly frustrated behind-the-scenes.

I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone needing catering for their wedding. Even to this day, two and half years after our wedding, I have guests telling me they remembered the delicious food at the wedding. My husband is Korean and we had a lot of Korean guest attend the wedding, so we wanted some Korean menu items for all of our guests to enjoy. The kimchi and Korean short ribs were an absolute hit and guest favorite for everyone at the wedding. I am also a rather picky eater, so Divine Event was able to allow us to customize our meal so that there were also a good amount of vegetarian items for me to enjoy. They even asked for our specific meal preferences in advance, my husband and I, and our plates were prepared and delivered to us at our table as we wished. The desserts too were just amazing. I would absolutely recommend Divine Event to anyone looking for the perfect catering company for their wedding.

My wedding at Flint Hill had two different stories: The wedding day was fantastic, but the planning…read morewas a nightmare. I suspect the positive reviews reflect the former. I will share advice that I wish I had received before making a 50% deposit. My rating is based on the planning. The day of would get 4 stars. - We were glad we had an outside wedding planner to be our ally. If you've never planned an event like this, you might not realize that you can easily be taken advantage of. - They provide a lot of staff on the day of the event, but some of them were people we had never met. We had an eight-minute call with our "Day of Reception Director" the week before the wedding. She is a part-time (weekends) employee who doesn't even have a company email address. - We were dazzled by Melissa's sales pitch. She spent 2 hours with us when we came in for a tour and it was great. We thought she would be a great ally in this process. She was super friendly and helpful through the contract process until we paid 50%. - We needed to read every version of the updated invoice to catch price changes. The price of our dessert was $9 until one day it was $9.50. They charged us $150 for early arrival with a $150 credit to cancel it out. One day that credit had changed from $150 to $2. Laura from the design studio "accidentally" increased the price of some tablecloths by $5 each. - Their contracts sometimes expire after two days, and they said we needed to sign before getting answers to our questions. This happened with 2 contract addendums. We asked questions. Melissa said "Any specific detail changes to this contract will be handled in the extended planning sessions." - They marginalized me while behaving towards my husband. We had a recurrent problem where I would send an email, no response, husband reminds them, and they respond quickly. One time they ignored my email for five days. When he replied to my note, they responded to him within the hour. I don't know if it's because he's a man, he makes more money than I do, or they simply didn't like me. - If we didn't get it in writing, they often denied it. There are numerous topics that I am certain we discussed verbally but unfortunately I didn't have it in writing. With the issue mentioned above, they insisted we never discussed it, and they only agreed to do it because we found written confirmation. - We needed to spend at least $2,000 at their design studio, but we didn't have any trouble exceeding the minimum. We had very minimal design requirements, brought in an outside florist for the bouquets, and our initial quote was over $1,900, not counting the $700 tablecloth rental. - Menu changes come with an upcharge. You only get to put out one salad dressing. If you want your guests to have a choice, there is an $0.50 per person. Mashed potatoes come with no toppings. Want to add something as simple as sour cream or chives? One dollar per person for each topping. - We paid more than 80% of the adult rate for children aged 4-9. Children starting at age 10 are charged full price. The menu says "reduced rate" for children, but the aren't mentioned until much later in the process. They get a 20% discount on the base price for the buffet, but they are full price for drinks, dessert, and add-ons. I don't know if they would also be charged 100% for drink packages with alcohol. - We had to convince them to let us have a menu tasting. They offered us a "tasting box" with six items from another event's menu but only one or two from our menu. None of these options had our main dishes included. They said the point of a tasting box is to understand the quality of the food, not our specific menu. I want to thank Kristin, the CEO, for her help. Two months before our wedding, she allowed us to switch from the Atrium to Flint Hill (for a cost of $3,500) The change in venue couldn't fix corporate policies and staff difficulties though. I can honestly say that planning this wedding was one of the worst experiences of my life. Good luck, future brides and grooms.

One was a Game Party in the early afternoon, and the second was a Sneaker Soiree later that same evening. Bar none, hands down, without question it was some of the best food I have ever tasted! EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious and several days after the events, I'm still getting accolades and raves about how great everything tasted. But even more impressive than the amazing food was the exceptionally stellar service that was rendered. Calvin was the CONSUMMATE professional in every sense of the word! He was prompt and timely in responding to all requests and questions. He was also extremely patient, gracious and accommodating with all of the iterations I went through in terms of modifying the menu, headcounts, etc. He was extremely helpful in assisting me with crafting menus that worked for my events and within my budget. Everything was set up and laid out beautifully. The pride that he took was extremely evident and meant the world to me! He staffed the events himself due to my budget constraints and he was so attentive to all the details! He ensured that everything went flawlessly throughout both events. Not only was he the consummate professional, but he was so sweet, so thoughtful, so considerate and so easy to work with! This wasn't just a business transaction for him, he clearly cared about my events and understood how important they were to me! He ensured that it was a beautifully memorable experience. I can't say enough wonderful things about the food and the service. Calvin and the company overall are the epitome of service excellence. I will definitely be a return customer and I would HIGHLY recommend him without any hesitation or reservations.

There were a few minor errors when she sent the contract and invoices but nothing to drastic or so I thought. She called to confirm the time for my 50th birthday brunch and arrived on time. Perfect right? Absolutely not. The fried chicken and shrimp and grits tasted as though nearly an entire box of salt was poured on them. I ordered a side of bacon and there was turkey bacon MIXED IN WITH PORK. The French toast breakfast sandwiches were mixed with pork sausage and TURKEY BACON when the menu says turkey bacon and sausage. Maybe it's just poorly worded on the menu but there was no way to tell one would be pork! Unless requested, you would think ANY chef knows not to mix the two. She returned immediately to pick up the serving tools and I insisted she taste the chicken which she agreed was salty. She agreed to refund $175 because she stated I was supposed to request turkey sausage(that wasn't specified in the menu). She later sent a text saying she would refund $150. Not acceptable. One of my guests became ill as a result of eating the pork sausage because I was confident it was turkey. I explained this to her and she attempted to weasel out by stating when she arrived the food was gone. LIES!!! The only thing gone was what people put on their plates and eventually tossed in the trash. THE ENTIRE MEAL was wasted. The presentation was immaculate but the taste was awful. Although I believed a full refund was in order, I would have accepted half. I saw the sleazy direction she was going with the text so I accepted the amount she was offering because I didn't trust I would get anything by asking for what I should have rightfully received. I would spend more in court fees taking to court but I'm certain I would win. My birthday brunch was ruined. My guests did enjoy the mimosas. Mistakes can happen and there is always room for growth. Instead of trying to play me like I was trying to get over on her, a little professionalism would have gone a long way. Pork and turkey DO NOT go in the same anything. Her dismissive attitude makes me question her competence as a caterer and compelled me to write a review. I'm sure she has potential but it was not evident from the service I received. The refund given was insufficient.
