Hired on Thumbtack

I was having a birthday party and looking for event staff. After reading several profiles and reviews I received a message from Harvest Caterers offering their services. I entered into this agreement very cautiously as I had NEVER acquired any services like this before, always relying on family and friends. Now, I will NEVER have an event without Harvest Caterers! Darlene and her team are AWESOME! Darlene’s magic appeared immediately and way before my event. She reassured me that she and her team would take EVERYTHING at my event and began planning that very moment I hired her. Initially I was only hiring them for the day of because I already ordered food from another vendor. When my guest list expanded I asked Harvest to supply 3 dishes and they were phenomenal. My guests raved about the Garlic Wings, Rasta Pasta, and Ribs. The staff were professional, attentive and warm. The 4 servers and bartender arrived 2 hours before my event, set up and were in place before my guests arrived. They served my family and closest friends with such kindness and care that set the vibe for the whole evening. At the end they packed and cleaned up EVERYTHING. All I had to do was walk out the door. Several of my guests complimented their work. It’s been 3 days since my event and I’m still getting calls complimenting and inquiring about their services. I don’t mean to drag this review but I just had to share just how wonderful they were and how pleased I am with the outcome of this arrangement. I was having a very trying day leading up to my party. I had a full turnout of over a 150 people and had Darlene and her team not been the most competent, kind, warm and professional team they were, my event could have been a bust.

Harvest was great! Professional servers & delicious food. I had to do the holiday party for my office (80 people) on a very tight budget. Darlene worked with me to get the right menu & price. I worried it would not be enough but it was spectacular. Many said the best party ever. I highly recommend Harvest Caterers!

Harvest Caterers's reply
Good afternoon Karen, Thank you for the opportunity to cater your event. It’s All about TEAM work. We worked together and got it done. I’m glad that you allowed us to stay and set everything up. It would have been too overwhelming for you to do by yourself. Harvest Caterers, is committed to join forces with our clients from start to finish. Thank you, for trusting me and my Staff. Looking forward to speaking with you soon. Thanks, again!

I hired Darleen for my mother's 50th birthday soirée and the food was fantastic! She was very tentative and patient when helping me come up with a menu theme that suited a wide variety of pallates. She is a wonderful cook and such a pleasure to work with, the food was a big hit!
