Olivia McManus and the entire team at Downtown Catering Company in Bluffton are absolutely incredible. My husband and I live New York and had our dream wedding in Savannah because of Olivia and Downtown catering. I had very specific and custom requirements and Olivia went above and beyond to meet them. Everything from champagne service when guests got to the venue, unique appetizers at cocktail hour (we fused Maryland and Georgia roots - and had fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, shrimp and grits, etc), to a dual entree to pies to late night food (mini boxes of Chinese take out!! The lo mein and spring rolls were excellent, even the guests Fanzo flew from China were impressed) they did the impossible and fused classic, delicious low county southern food and added an Asian twist to the end of the night. My 160 guests from all over the country and world could not stop raving about how delicious the food was. The food and service has been the top piece of feedback I have gotten from our wedding. Also, anybody with allergies was completely taken care of. Their food modified and equally enjoyable.
To keep 160 meals - filet mignon, scallops, etc cooked to perfection, warm was to me an incredible feat but something that Downtown Catering does every single time for every single event. Olivia had countless calls with me to work our details and was always kind, understanding and patient. She also anticipated any needs and through my disparate thoughts and asks, came up with something better than I could have even imagined. We had specialty his and her drinks, which were so delicious and on point, something we added at the last minute and the bar service, food staff, everything the day of was beyond what I could have asked for. Olivia and team truly made my wedding one of a kind, made me feel so taken care of and understood along the way which resulted in a deliciously magnificent day that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Look no further if you are looking for any event with catering services, it does not get any...
Read moreWhere do we even begin? Let’s start at the tasting for our daughter’s wedding. They had us at lobster roll! Their food is so incredible, but that’s just the beginning- because you don’t know how the service is going to be….. you don’t know if the food’s going to be hot!?! Let’s cut to chase and go to the wedding ! The service at our daughter’s wedding was beyond reproach. My parents owned a restaurant so my expectations are very high. When I tell you that Downtown Catering is so top-notch, the quality of food to the service are beyond expectations. One example I can give you is we had a sitdown dinner for our daughters wedding, A guest was talking at their table so the servers waited behind them until the conversation was through before they served their meal. They didn’t interrupt them. They just waited patiently until the conversation was over and then they serve them their meal. All the food was delicious. My sister-in-law went to complement them on an hors d’oeuvre because she’s a vegetarian. 10 minutes later, they found out where she was sitting, and they served her more of those hors d’oeuvres. That’s just going above and beyond. That’s caring about your clientele. if you want a top notch caterer for your wedding and Downtown Catering is...
Read moreWell, We hired this company for our daughter's wedding and the food and service was great, the people who worked the event were very professional, but the only problem I had with them is when we hired them for the wedding, we had to reschedule it due to the pandemic. My husband was the one who handled this part so I didn't think we were going to have an issue but we sure did. So, we had to reschedule the wedding because of the pandemic and many of our relatives didn't feel comfortable traveling so we had it this year in October. When my husband went to pay the bill, the amount had increase tremendously. We were charged a "rebooking fee". The amount was for $1,000.00 and we thought that was unfair. They told my husband that it was in the contract and he looked at the old contract and it was not there. He tried to argue with them but they would not work with us. At this point, it was too late to find another cateing company and money weve already invested into this company. Because of our experience with them about this, will not use them in the future or...
