Teatime Delicacies Inc - Burke

Ruth and Becky and their team were *amazing* we hired Teatime Delicacies for our wedding on 10/22/22 and were so so happy we did. From Day 1, Ruth communicated so quickly and kindly with us. While we waited days or even weeks to hear back from other vendors, Ruth always responded immediately and answered any and every question we had. We went to Ruth's house for a tasting and it was so fun and Ruth was straightforward about pricing from the get go. The cocktail hour items were amazing (we even had fall themed apps like squash soup shooters! , and when we sat down for our wedding dinner, the food was absolutely delicious. If we weren't the bride and groom who didn't have much time to eat, we would've gone back for seconds! Also, the price is so reasonable compared to other vendors. I'd hire Ruth and Becky again in a heartbeat!

Is it weird to miss your caterer after your wedding?Ruth and Teatime Catering was a preferred vendor for our venue, St Francis Hall. Back in Fall 2019, when I first planned our March 2022 (COVID made us move it many times , I remember choosing Ruth because she knew our venue so well. I had a vision to not have a seated dinner and instead have open food stations, and make it sort of an all-night party. She was the ONLY caterer to push back on some of my ideas and tell me the truth about how it could work. Other companies were saying yes to everything I asked, and never even suggested anything to help us save .Hiring Teatime was a no-brainer in that respect. She wanted the wedding to be what I wanted, but she also wanted to make sure it was a reasonable day of work for her (AWESOME team and that it would be an enjoyable experience for our guests.But then BOOM, pandemic hit. Ruth was patient with me each time I made the tough decision to move our wedding date. Countless scheduling emails back and forth and suddenly we were two months out and I was sitting across from her and my planner at our venue walk through. In that meeting she remembered EVERYTHING I asked for back in Fall 2019! She remembered the cake I picked, even though I hadn’t! (Ruth gifts a cake to all her wedding couples, quite literally the most thoughtful thing to give a couple! Your caterer really runs the whole show at your wedding, their staff does all the work turning basically an empty room into a wedding venue. I can’t tell you how at ease Ruth put me, I knew she knew what she was doing and that she would bring it all together.So then our wedding day comes… and in the morning, there is an unexpected snowstorm. I had a moment of panic, but then I remembered I have Ruth, and just knew her team would pull through. Yes, they drove through a SNOWSTORM and showed up with SMILES ready to rock it. I remember right before the ceremony seeing Ruth on the side and we both looked at each other like ‘are you kidding us! A snowstorm too! but we’re here!!!’ – felt like a communal moment of victory. Later that night I saw her and hugged her (there is a blurry photo of the moment and felt like because of her I got to have the wedding I wanted. Like I said, is it weird to miss your caterer??Yes, the bartenders were amazing, drinks were flowing, food was DELICOUS, but nothing compares to the dedication Ruth brought to this entire, almost three-year process. I am forever grateful to her and her team. Best caterer a bride could ask for!

Throughout the challenges of rescheduling due to the pandemic, Ruth was patient and understanding. She remembered every detail we had discussed back in 2019, even things I had forgotten myself. The fact that she gifts a cake to all her wedding couples shows just how thoughtful and caring she is. On the day of the wedding, an unexpected snowstorm added to the stress, but I knew Ruth and her team would handle it with grace. They showed up with smiles, ready to make our day unforgettable. Despite the challenges, Ruth's dedication and professionalism put me at ease. She truly made our wedding dreams come true. The bartenders were fantastic, the drinks were flowing, and the food was delicious, but Ruth's commitment and hard work throughout the almost three-year process truly set her apart. I cannot thank her and her team enough for their incredible service. Ruth is the best caterer any bride could ask for, and I will always be grateful for her role in making our special day perfect.

We were recommended to Teatime for our wedding catering by a family member. Teatime catered a complex wedding for us, which included two receptions on the same day and a rehearsal dinner the night before. The event took place during the covid-19 pandemic, and Teatime was very conscious about adapting their procedures to ensure safety. Everything went exceptionally well, and we were extremely pleased with the service and the high quality of the food. The desserts were particularly delightful, especially the mini desserts that were prepared for us. The seafood was cooked to perfection. Additionally, we had leftover flowers, and Teatime went above and beyond by arranging them on the catering tables for decoration. Ruth spent a lot of time meeting with us, both in person and through phone and email, to discuss the details. We had to make last-minute changes, including switching venues and adding an extra reception, but Ruth handled it all flawlessly and the end result was beautiful.
