Delectables by Donna Catering

Our experience with Donna was pleasant until we received services on our wedding day. She was hired in June to cater our wedding 9/21/24. We’ve had numerous conversations with her almost weekly leading up to our wedding. She called me the morning of my wedding asking if our wedding was that day or the following the weekend of September 28th. Which let me to know that she forgot about our wedding day. She proceeded to call back and say everything is ok we’re good our dinner starts at 5,
so that would be enough time to cook. She was supposed to arrive at our event by 12 noon, she was over an hour late which pushed our start time back. Later after the wedding our guest started reaching out to us to let us know their chicken was uncooked and pink and that it wasn’t the flavor chicken we chose for our dinner which was suppose to be bourbon. We chose only a few pieces of salmon to be served for two of our guest she showed up with a full pan of it and our meatballs were salty. Our guest were denied servings of all the food and due to cancellation of guest that shouldn’t happen because there should’ve been more than enough food. We’re in agreement to have a water station setup by her for our guest, which she stated in a later conversation she forgot and proceeded to provide cases of bottled water which we didn’t want at the event. We spoke to her on 9/27 with these concerns about the uncooked chicken and how our services provided were rushed and it showed. She was defensive, rude, and over talking us about what was presented to us at the wedding. She called back and admitted that the food was probably rushed and that she wasn’t the one cooking because she was at the venue setting up. She offered $400 to be refunded for the chicken and we would move forward. We agreed! We are now learning that she is refusing to keep that agreement, through an email stating services she never provided which was cleanup of tables after our guest were done eating. Not to mention she claimed to be fully staffed, but our event was catered by her and two kids ranging from the ages of 10 and possibly 14 years old. A wedding day is a day you can’t redo and to have an experience like this is so unfortunate..Instead of giving us the refund that she promised us she said she will give us a 10% discount when we book with her again..WE WILL NEVER USE HER SERVICES AGAIN!

Food was amazing!!!!!

Chef Donna did an amazing job catering my family’s Mother’s Day event. EVERYTHING was good and affordable. We will use her again.

Called Donna to get a price quote for a wedding and she was exceptional rude and unprofessional. She proceeded to tell me that she caters for everybody all over the city and that i was being super short with her and she was on vacation. Why have someone reach out to you while you’re on vacation and act irritable and unprofessional All of the positive reviews she has, i was quite taken aback and flabbergasted by how nasty her demeanor was. Unfortunately, she would not be someone i would never work with. What a shame.

This person catered my wedding and did not deliver as planned. The food my husband and I tasted tested is not what was served on my wedding day! Many guest commented on how dry the brisket tasted. I even took a picture of it. This was in my eyes very deceitful. In addition, she called me on my wedding day to ask about plating and cutlery which should have not been a conversation hours before getting married…….this experience was altogether was not worth the money spent especially calling to go over particulars on the same day of the wedding (not professional at all). I try my best to support African American businesses and hate that I had to walk away not feeling satisfied and treated as if my wedding was not as important to her as it was to me! She often seemed either overwhelmed or not always focused with our multiple conversations about specifics for my wedding. She never followed up with us which is why I’m writing this review. I would not recommend at all.

10/10. We called Delectables by Donna catering to cater my father-in-laws memorial service and when I say EVERYTHING was DELICIOUS….I MEAN EVERYTHING! Donna and staff were kind and very professional. So yummy ?
