I attended a wedding where Sue catered the meal with her staff. Had this been a budget-savvy wedding, the results that were recieved might be more understandable. Instead, this was a very nice wedding held at a very expensive hanger in a beautiful and remote location. The catering team had a very nice kitchen to use, their tickets to the location paid for, and help if they needed it. Unfortunately what we got I would NEVER want to serve guests.
First issue:
There were supposed to be appetizers at the wedding itself, so guests who arrived early had something to snack on. They never arrived. The catering crew got lost and could not figure out where to go. Please note, there were a-frames everywhere, a huge sign in the town square, and several car loads of people going to the same place. This is a TINY Alaskan town, so it's pretty hard to miss a party like this.
Second issue:
What was asked for was grilled chicken, bamboo wrapped salmon, risotto and grilled veggies. What we got was chicken skewers (the packaged, pre-grilled ones from Costco WHICH SHE TOLD THE GUESTS), bamboo salmon (some over cooked, some under done, and yes some were decent), some sort of rice mix (which the caterer changed on one invoice without notifying anyone via email or phone), and veggies that were practically raw and displeasing to many guests.
Conclusion?
Alaska Coastal Catering does not deserve the rating it has if this is how she caters other events. I hope this was just one event where they really dropped the ball.
