Susan prepared yummy finger foods for a paint night we hosted. This lady works hard!. Always on the move, making sure food was replenished and drinks were served. She also served as bartender and handled both jobs superbly. She suggested a special drink for the evening that was a BIG hit. Very yummy. She refilled drinks for everyone as they painted. Susan was great and I would definitely use Wild Thyme again!

I am writing this review as I eat the last bit of delicious leftovers from our work holiday dinner that Susan catered. Everything was perfect from the moment she arrived. We were having a murder mystery themed party and she even came dressed to the theme! Everyone was raving about the food - the Prosciutto Chicken was a hit! We also used her bartender who was wonderful. We will definitely be using her for our next dinner!

We had Wild Thyme do the bartending for our wedding and it worked out perfectly. They were very helpful and responsive. Everyone loved the friendly service, and of course the great drinks!

Susan and her team were outstanding. Everyone was very professional, polite, helpful, and good-spirited. In addition to this, they showed up on-time and were willing to stay an extra hour because our Fundraiser/Art Show ran longer than expected. I received many compliments regarding the service and the positive attitude of all the Bartenders. I was also very appreciative that they assisted in set-up and clean-up of the event (not a small task - 500 people in attendence). Wild Thyme Catering definitely went above and beyond their responsibilities! I would highly recommend them for any type of event. I look forward to working with them in future.

Working with Wild Thyme Mixology was the perfect match for my party. Susan, our bartender, besides being efficient, and on time, had a great sense of humor. Since most of my friends were comics, she was perfect. I'd use Susan again in a heart beat.
