Finding a caterer was the hardest part of planning our wedding as our outdoor venue did not provide a kitchen or running water (just electricity). I emailed and spoke to about five caterers who all suggested that I look into a pig roast or perhaps food trucks if I wanted hot food at the reception. As I animal activist the thought of a dead splayed-open animal at my wedding repulsed me, as did the exhaust, noise, and queuing associated with food trucks.
Chambers Walk and caterer Kristen had received good reviews here on Wedding Wire, but I was done with email, filling out web forms, and phone calls that didn't get returned or followed up. So I just showed up at Chambers Walk and sat outside of Kristen's office. She brought me in, got out her pen and paper, and then listened to me for an HOUR describe my dream wedding. I waved my arms around a lot and we looked at web sites and Google earth. We hit it off. She showed me how organized she is on paper and I was sold.
Kristen was not only there via phone but she was right there at the other end of the keyboard right up to the day before the wedding asking questions and providing answers. To me that is extremely important as I work online and need my vendors to be online too.
The food at the wedding got rave reviews, especially the pumpkin ravioli, sliders, and crab cakes. I asked Kristen to present a "Stuff A Potato" table and despite never doing it before, she came through. Guests were thrilled.
Set up, clean up -- everything handled meticulously. Kristen and Chambers Walk deserve ten stars!!
