We had our reception at Harkness State Park in Waterford CT on June 3, 2011- they have a list of 6 caterers that they allow to cater at this location. After many tastings and meetings with caterers, we decided to go with A Thyme to Cook. We had the pleasure of working with Dave from the start- he was awesome! He was very attentive, he listened to our wedding ideas, gave advice and his professional opinion when asked, and was able to work within our budget constraints. He never pressured us for any “upgrades” and many times suggested some cost effective alternatives- clearly not just looking to “make money” off of us. The food was excellent and they went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, Dave was our “go-to” guy- all vendors went to him for directions, he totally ran the show, made everything seamless, and made himself available for whatever we needed. When one of the vendors neglected to show for our wedding(!!), Dave was right there with us (dealing with our full blown panic attack!), and suggested another company he has worked with to fill in. He had the number to the company and made the arrangements for us, so we didn’t have to stress about it any longer, and the new vendor was perfect. The server assigned to us at the wedding was excellent- she was totally attentive without being intrusive. The food was excellent- the only negative was I was told there were long lines at our reception for the food stations- some guests said they waited 30 minutes in line for food. Despite that, I felt this caterer was amazing, professional, and the food was excellent. Well worth the money!!
