yucky!

We picked out a caterer over a month ago. The selection and photos of the food looked awesome. We were pretty much all set to put a deposit down on the caterer. The only thing that was stopping us was that we hadn't tried the food yet. On Sunday, we attended a mass tasting of the food at one of the caterer's many venues. Normally, I have a pretty wide range of acceptability for when it comes to food at events. When you prepare large quantities of food, it usually doesn't taste quite as good. I've accepted this after attending numerous weddings, proms, formals, etc. However, their food was just awful! You would think they would try a little harder to make it taste good since this is their "tasting." The lettuces in the salads were wilted and mushy. The chicken had so much goop on it that it was just gross. There was some question of what some of the desserts actually were. The hot food was on the cold side. The cake frosting for the wedding cake tasted like pure butter. Overall it was just gross! The only tasty food was the appetizers, salmon, and potatoes. I'm sorry, but if we're going to drop over 12 grand on food, it should at least taste somewhat decent.

So, all in all, this caterer was a bust. The plus side is that we didn't put down a deposit for the caterer! any suggestions for good caterers would be appreciated! Personally, I'm thinking we should just order pizza and be done with it! :-D
