Hired on Thumbtack

I hired Linda Burns Catering for my wedding this past weekend. Despite a few hiccups, everyone raved about the food and we have tons of leftovers (I had some no-shows and a few last-minute cancellations so we had around 55 guests instead of 60). We had a huge selection of food to accommodate all kinds of dietary restrictions, and everyone had way more than enough to eat. I had a few vegetarians, 2 gluten free, 2 seafood allergies, and 1 nut allergy in our group. We were able to feed everyone well and the price was way below all the other caterers we contacted. Favorites of the evening were the bacon-wrapped scallops, crab-stuffed mushrooms, mini pizzas, meatballs, mac & cheese, and shrimp scampi with rice.The chicken marsala was much better at the tasting we had, at the wedding it seemed a little overcooked and dry, but still tasty. The green beans were over-salted but they still got eaten. The staff gave us amazing service. I tipped them and my father added to my tip because he was so impressed. They went above and beyond what was requested. They asked me if I needed anything, put food on our head table for us, cleared tables and helped clean up at the end of the event. We had the option to hire a bartender but we opted out of it to save on expenses, but they helped with the bar anyway. I was told they were also helping to open bottles of wine and champagne, refilling our ice tubs to chill more beer and wine, and keeping the drink table clean. The only cons I have are minimal and do not matter in the large scheme of things: 1. Communication was a bit off throughout the planning process. I found that texting Linda was the best way to get a quick answer. We didn't get the final menu nailed down until about 3 weeks before the wedding. 2. The Catering Staff was 45 minutes late. They were scheduled to arrive at 3 pm. The wedding began at 4 pm. Normally this wouldn't have been a huge problem since we weren't serving appetizers until 4:30 pm, however since it was raining we had moved the ceremony indoors, deciding that since it was a small group we could just have everyone seated at tables. We rented tables, chairs, and linens through Catering and only the tables and chairs had arrived, the linens were coming with the staff. This meant that none of my guests could enter the main space because the tables had no linens on them. I was informed of this as I was upstairs getting ready and could not come down to do anything. They arrived at 3:45 pm and my friends helped to get the linens out. The ceremony only started about 20 minutes late, and all of the food was served on schedule, so this was not a huge problem. It just created a ton of stress for me and the groom right before the ceremony. Overall, I was very happy with the service and the food, and highly recommend her!

Linda and her staff were accommodating, professional and reasonably priced. Her food was great! I contracted her services for a client function and my client was very pleased. I plan to use her services again in the future and have passed her information into others within my firm. Thank you, Linda!
