The food was the only good part of New Leaf Catering.
The caterer was the most stressful part of the wedding planning. It was hard to get him to finalize details and show up for appointments. The caterer’s assistant showed up 30 minutes before the actual wedding, the owner who we had hired was at a retreat. We had provided him, prior to the wedding, with everything for the bar. When they arrived all the mixers, water and a case of wine were missing. During dinner the guests were sharing knives and napkins. The bartender he hired was smoking, surly with guests and most of the time not even at the bar.
The owner contacted us when we got back from our honeymoon and apologized. He set up a meeting to return the wine and mixers and to discuss a reimbursement, his suggestion not ours. He never showed up and we haven’t heard from him since.. We picked up the wine at his restaurant “Just Soup” in Cathedral City, he was out of town. The stress he caused was completely due to his unprofessional behavior.
