The food and servers were amazing! We had a buffet style dinner for 62 guests in February at Abilena Plantation. The owners of the venue recommended Thee Catering Company as they have worked the venue many times in the past- this is definitely a plus. The owner, Chris, was able to help me plan the cocktail hour, appetizers, dinner, and bar in great detail since he was so familiar with the venue. We stocked the bar and had their bartender serve the drinks; he was very helpful making sure we had all the items we needed at the bar. The bartender was great! He was polite and really handled our group well. The servers that worked our venue were professional and polite, they directed all their questions to my day of coordinator so I didn't have to worry about them, and really made the buffet table and bar look presentable. They even brought me and my husband our plate of food so we could quickly eat and start mingling with our guests. The food was delicious- we had rotisserie herb chicken, pork roast, mashed potatoes, green beans, and rolls. Many of our guests raved about the food. The only issues I came across was difficulty getting a response initially from the Event Coordinator to get a quote, contract, and deposit in place. I had to email and call the Coordinator several times and finally reached out to the owner a few times before I could get the quote and reserve my wedding date. I also had some issue getting in touch with the owner between October and December to set up a tasting; this was likely due to the holiday season but it worried me as I live in another state so I had limited time in North Carolina to finalize all the wedding details. I previously asked about the possibility of extending the bartender services during the wedding if the party was still going strong at closing time and was told it was an option; I asked the bartender that night about paying for extra hour, after calling his boss the bartender told me they couldn't extend service.
