west bay catering — Local services in Garfield Township

I would NOT recommend this caterer. He sent his staff to our reception over 2 hours late, with nothing assembled nor the amount of food that was ordered. Two of our guests had to jump in to help the two kids set up. The food was not brought in on trays, therefore the sliders had to be set up on the table. The cheese for the charcuterie boards had to be cut up by our guests as well. They had to pretty much do everything when they should have been enjoying our day. There was nothing to put the silverware in, so that to had to be rounded up. They were supposed to stay and replenish food and clean up. Since there wasn't even enough food to feed all our guest including the Bride and Groom, there wasn't anything to replenish with. Our bar tenders were amazing and stepped up to clean up what was this caterers responsibility.

What should have been a beautiful flawless day that was planned out for months, this catering company dropped the ball and caused stress, cost us more money to buy more food from local businesses and was an embarrassment to us.

I don't know how ANYONE could do this to someone, especially on their special day. Apparently he took on another wedding that day and didn't bother to answer any calls, texts or emails when he was an apparent no show. I felt bad for the two kids he sent into a horrible situation. They acted like they had no idea what to do or how to handle a very uncomfortable situation. Steve Peltier, you should be ashamed of yourself! You haven't even had enough decency to contact us to apologize or explain yourself, which there really isn't an excuse! I hope this review keeps anyone looking for a caterer for their special day from making the same mistake we did in trusting in you. We should have known when you wouldn't return calls or emails for very long periods of time and would not let us have...

I am disappointed to see that his reviews have went so south since our wedding on August 7th. While those were not my experiences, I can see how they could have happened. Initial conversation with the Owner Steven P. was great about a year before our wedding. He was responsive, the food at the tasting was amazing, and his pricing was the reasonable. We had breakfast sandwiches and fruit with a coffee bar and OJ for the morning of the wedding, He forgot about the steak, egg, and cheese sandwiches for the guys, but brought enough of the sausage, egg, and cheese so that everyone had enough to eat. Charcuterie board with fruit, bacon wrapped shrimp, and spinach artichoke dip for cocktail hour, which our guests raved about, and a prime rib carving station and herb crusted chicken with amazing sides for dinner. One of the biggest compliments we received was how good the food was. We also had parfaits and breakfast tacos, with coffee and OJ for breakfast the next morning. Steven was only about 20 minutes late each morning, but was on time for the wedding. His communication was sub par and hard to get ahold of, but once he informed me that he had a new number it was much easier to speak to him. I also was disappointed about how much I had to stay on emailing him, but the food quality was so great, I was not devastated...

Is there a 0/5 star option? To the reader: DO NOT PUT YOURSELF THROUGH THIS. This caterer was and remains incredibly unprofessional. My brother and sister in law were married and had all things squared away (with a lot of effort on their part I may add due to the owner, Steve Peltiers lack of communication!) the bill was paid in half prior to the event and all contracts were signed. His staff showed up over 2 hours after the agreed upon time. Not only that- no communication was made nor would he answer any calls indicating a delay. When his two staff members arrived, the food was not even assembled or prepped. Guests that should have been enjoying the wedding- were cubing cheese, assembling sandwiches and setting up charcuterie boards. Not only that- the amount of food to feed the guests was also not delivered. Approximately 1/3 of the paid for and agreed upon amount was delivered. There was no platter or serving tray provided and the sandwiches we displayed on the table cloths. PEOPLE- DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN. He has yet to call to apologize or explain these actions. They are incredibly unreliable and honestly, he should have his catering license pulled. I am so sorry to the staff that has to work under this poorly organized and...
