Widdi Catering Hall — Attraction in New York

Complaint Regarding Unacceptable Incident at Your Wedding Venue

Dear Widdi Hall Management & Owner,

I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding an unacceptable incident that occurred at your wedding venue on December 25th, 2023. On that date, at approximately 10:30 pm, a distressing situation unfolded within the premises of your venue, which not only compromised the safety and well-being of the guests but also displayed a shocking lack of respect for the solemnity of the occasion.

It is with great alarm that I must report witnessing an altercation among your employees that resulted in a physical confrontation with a knife and a stabbing that took place. This behavior was not only disruptive and distressing to the attendees of the wedding but also posed a serious security risk. The absence of adequate security personnel further exacerbated the situation, leaving guests feeling vulnerable and unprotected.

Furthermore, as a member of the Arab and Islamic community, I was deeply troubled by the lack of respect for our cultural and religious traditions. It is widely known that our customs dictate the separation of genders during certain parts of the event, ensuring that males do not intrude into the women's space. Regrettably, this protocol was disregarded, and the sanctity of our traditions was not upheld. This is not the first instance of such a breach, and it is imperative that the necessary measures be taken to prevent the recurrence of such disrespect in the future.

As a result of this distressing experience, the wedding celebration was marred by an atmosphere of fear and disrespect, greatly detracting from what should have been a joyous and memorable occasion for the newlyweds and their guests.

I trust that you share my concern for the well-being and comfort of all guests at your venue and take this matter with the utmost seriousness. I urge you to conduct a thorough investigation into this incident and take immediate steps to enhance security measures and ensure that cultural and religious sensitivities are respected at all times.

I sincerely hope that you will address these issues promptly and effectively, as it is crucial to uphold the reputation and integrity of your esteemed venue. I kindly request a written response outlining the actions that will be taken to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to a swift and satisfactory resolution.

Sincerely, A concerned guest...

I went to a wedding celebration and there were flies greeting the wedding party. They were on tables, chairs, walls, mirrors, cupcakes, etc. There was a stubborn one that had already claimed my assigned chair (see it posing for a picture). There were warm drinks on tables but no ice. The bride had to asked them to place ice on tables. The cake was placed on the table the bride and groom were supposed to seat. The people in charge of serving the food (buffet style) were serving themselves and eating even before guests on the last table finished serving. Those were the less courteous people I have seen working as servers. The bathroom were disgusting, smelly and moldy. The champagne was served on plastic cups because they couldn't...

We just hosted my daughters Sweet 16 at Widdi's. This was a catered event. From the moment we made a deposit to the last minute of our event, the service, the attention I/we received was incredible. The wait staff, manager and security were all patient, understanding and the nicest people. The food was abundant (I even took food home) not to mention how delicious it was. This is my second event here and highly recommend this hall...
