Yara E. Sent on 09/14/2021Such yummy food
The food was amazing. The appetizers were delicious and everyone couldn't get enough of them. We ran behind schedule so the food was a bit cold but still so delicious. The chef and his staff were amazing to work with. They communicayed with us all the details until the day of. Price wise they were great. We spent about 70 per person for 3 different meats, vegetables, appetizers and a delicious beautiful cake.Georgia Ray's Kitchen's reply:

Food was delicious and guest could not stop talking about the quality of the food. Chef Danyell was flexible and willing to make our menu work. He researched and created a delicious Ecuadorian dish (which was the hit of our wedding!) that we were wanting to have. Overall wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend for your wedding day! -
Busra N. Sent on 09/15/2018Our experience with Georgia Ray's Kitchen was excellent! At our wedding, we had the appetizers of Cheeseboard with some crackers, Grape Leaves, Avocado Hummus, Caramelized Onion Balsamic Pastries, Shrimp Dumplings, and Tandoori Chicken Skewers for the cocktail hour. For the reception dinner, we had Applewood Smoked BBQ Chicken, Provençale Baked Catfish w/lemon butter & parsley breadcrumbs, Israeli Cous-Cous w/grilled carrots, onions & portobello mushrooms
Grilled Corn & Peppers Salad and the dessert was Vanilla Layer Wedding Cake w/French Meringue Buttercream icing - lemon curd & vanilla mousse filling. Every bite we had at our wedding was unbelievably tasty! The only regret was not eating more of that delicious food that day! The staff were extremely nice and checked on us multiple times if we need anything. Chef Danyell even came to the stage and had a little fun with us! We highly recommend Georgia Ray's Kitchen because the food was excellent, the price was affordable and the service was great!

Georgia Ray's catered our wedding and it was one of the best meals I've ever had! Literally the greatest steak I have ever tasted! People say you don't eat at your wedding, we ATE at our wedding, and then some because you couldn't not eat Chef Danyell's amazing food! Chef Danyell is a genius in his field, he came up with the most unique dishes with extreme enthusiasm. He navigated through all the dietary restrictions with ease and solved problems before they got to us and accommodated to all our needs. He knows this business so well, can see the vision of what needs to be done and conquers it. His staff was so friendly and fun, they were so easy to work with. Our guests are still talking about how fantastic the food was at our wedding, raving that they have never had such great food at a wedding before.
As a bonus, every time we visited they would always feed us something delicious and sent us home with lunch for the next day! You would be cheating yourself if you didn't try his food. Ask to try to the swizzle sticks!
Thank you so much, Georgia Rays, for the best meal we could have ever asked for! I'm still craving those fig & roquefort purses, truffle mac & cheese and that steak!! -
User2400288 Sent on 10/30/2015First off, I had a lovely wedding but I feel like I have to leave this review to warn other brides on what they may have to deal with. Overall, the food was good but the staff was not trained properly. I heard through some of my guests that they neglected to bring a course to them and even when asked, made it appear like it was the guest's fault somehow. To be fair, I did have a semi large wedding and it was their first time catering at this venue. Chef Danyell is a wonderful man but very disorganized. The communication was a bit challenging, they can take up to 3-4+ days to respond to emails. I went with them due to their value. They are much more affordable than other vendors that we met with. Overall, we would've been satisfied with the food and even the not-so-great service but we were very disappointed in receiving an erroneous bill (one 2 days before my wedding) and an overtime charge that we did not believe was justified). The erroneous bill was due to a wrong head count, a change from adding 1 guest became 10+. It's not something a bride, 2 days before her wedding wants to deal with. They were able to resolve it, 4 emails later and were apologetic. But after the wedding, apparently there was some miscommunication on the responsibilities for clean up/break down with the venue and we were ultimately asked to pay for the overtime charges. Our wedding ended 10min later than scheduled but we were charged over an hour in overtime. I feel that if they had handled it differently (I.e. alerted us on the miscommunication that had happened, we would've likely considered some compensation) but instead the emails quickly escalated to threats of charging interest and seeking legal action when the delay was caused by the fact that we did not agree with the charges and wanted to understand better. We still do not agree we should be held responsible for their misunderstanding with the venue but decided to settle. Though the food/value was decent, we would not recommend....Georgia Ray's Kitchen's reply:
This was a Formal Plated Wedding of 150 guests.
While caterers face all obstacles head on without disturbing the flow of the event, this one was run not by us but by a local event coordinator who was also hired as a Day of. liaison. She was to be the liaison between the Bride and us and was completely in charge of timing.
Our personnel was well informed, trained and seasoned.
This Bride made numerous changes both to the Menu and with the number of guests right up to one week prior to the event date - way after the allowable date. This is after 10 months of planning and over 50 e-mails - we accommodated the couple gladly. With each change a corrected Invoice was sent to the Bride in an attempt to keep them informed, which is the proper way to handle all changes in pricing.
All 150 guests were served dinner in 20 minutes however, some guests changed seats and there was a language barrier with many guests. Though everyone was served who wanted the dinner, some guests left for outside activities and did not return within the allowable time.
Requested delays occurred at the event for outside events such as a bonfire and fireworks, as well as extended hors d'oeurves service and delay in dinner service. All of these reflect directly upon the Day of coordinator and not the caterer. Though we appreciated her presence we found minimal guidance.
In this case we respected the Bride's vision of the day and accommodated her with great effort and pleasure. We take all critiques seriously as we become more proficient at our enterprise.
