A Taste of Excellence Catering

Where do I start with this company. From the very first taste testing that we were served to the actual wedding reception was just a huge disappointment and disaster. We had to go twice for a taste testing dinner due to the first one had nothing we selected. Every time we went in there, they seemed to be confused on who we were and if we had appointments, even when confirmed hours before. Moving on to finalizing things and them not having the paperwork correct. Having to go back and fourth correcting thier errors multiple times. Just so things didn't get screwed up. Let's now talk about the food. They supposedly have a top tier chief in which he needs to go back to culinary school. To now moving forward to the night of the event. The event planner that was assigned to us rest assured us that the brides belongings were safe in a room that they always use at this particular venue. Well they were not. Most of the brides stuff was stolen. Let's talk about the specific instructions that they were given. We purchased out own alcohol for this venue. Beer, top shelf liquor etc... they were instructed to open the beer progressively so that we were not stuck with all this beer and alcohol. That wasn't done because at the end of the night cans and bottles were being put back in all the boxes they came in. So whatever that wasn't used, I now had to keep because the boxes were opened. We had one cake made especially for the bride and groom, because the bride has allergies. They were told this cake was for us only. They ended up serving most of it to our guests. Along with the traditional cake the bride and groom was supposed to take home. They had sheet cakes to give to our guests. We paid extra to have steaks for the the bride and groom, because of the brides allergies, we told them we wanted both rare. We got well done. And not to mention cold. The brides salad was to be served plain, they served her a loaded salad. So all in all if you want a company to ruin your wedding day, eat cold food, and waste your money, go ahead and hire them. Otherwise steer clear, and take your money elsewhere.

Don't work here. Very unprofessional. Ran like a high-school drama show, everyone is overly in everyone's business. To get a raise is like pulling teeth and then beaing lead around in circles. But when it comes to working that doesn't happen. Most servers sit on their phones or hide away in the venue. While if you actually are there to work they don't tell u anything they assume you know what to do even if you have never been there before, and when asked what to do they just told me I dont know or just walked away .The whole organization is just very unprofessional.

We ordered lunch for my daughter's first birthday and everything was wonderful. The pick up was easy and food was delicious- my guests were raving about the food and it was so nice not having to cook or clean up on a special day!

We had the pleasure of piloting our first Secret Supper at The Grove, home of The Madison with the team at Taste of Excellence. Emily, Amanda, Chef Brain and Robert were amazing! The event was a HIT and the Madison could not be more proud of our partnership with the Taste team.
