I would not recommend this business for a wedding! They make it seem as though your wedding day is gonna be perfect and that they are the professionals that did not turn out to be the case, here are the facts - they tell you that the bride and groom will have there own servers for cocktail hour that did not happen at all, our cocktail hour was appaulding to say the least, we were to have open bar, the guests were not allowed in the tent to get alcohol during cocktail hour (until some guests got frustrated and demanded it) They had staff that showed up late (30 minutes before wedding). Venue which was Waverly mansion was not kept up well, llight bulbs burnt out, table turned over on floor and stink bugs eerywhere. It started to rain and wedding presents were outside, guests told coordinator about it and did nothing so our guests moved presents inside themselves. The head table was not set up for correct number of people even though it was listed on the website what the number of people were. Servers took food from guests before it was finished, and end of night they started cleaning things up and throwing out things which were our own personal items without asking, The cake top for the one year anniversay was smashed and put into a plastic container with a box over it with magic markers in it. We have three typed pages of complaints so needlless to say if you want your wedding day to be your perfect day I would NOT recommend this business! I usually do not do reviews but I really would hate to see anyone go through what we are going through with this company.

Just got married. Celebrations at the Bay is beautiful. Couldnt ask for a better view. However, beware with the planning process. Considering the price we had to pay, after our planning meeting where we picked out our food, cake flavors and linens, they lost it all. 2 weeks before the wedding we had to re-create all of it from memory. It was extremely disorganized. The morning of the wedding, all the table linens were the wrong color (had they been properly written down during the planning meeting, this would not have happened). Thankfully, one of the caterers arranged to have them swapped out to match the actual wedding colors. At the planning meeting, they said not to match the head table to the bridesmaids, and at the reception, my bridesmaids were blue and their table was blue. Some guests who had food allergies were not given the proper dishes even though they were specified on the planning website. Our day of coordinator was extremely rude to our DJ and adamantly told the mother-of-the- bride the whole wedding needed "to leave" at 4:00 when we were originally told 4:30. While we had guests still there, they were taking down all the decorations and linens. She was very impatient. Again, beautiful venue and the food was delicious, but what a stressful process for the money. I would never work with them again.

We hired Uptown Catering for our daughters wedding on Oct 1st 2016. We could not have been happier. The food was delicious and looked amazing. The beef was tender as if cooked to order, the chicken unbelievably flavorful and juicy. The salad looked so good that it was hard to take a bite in fear of ruining the look. The hors doeuvres were plentiful and delicious to the point that our guests would not have complained if there was no dinner following the cocktail hour. Sandra was a FANTASTIC day of event planner. I do not know what I would have done without her. Everything was put together very elegantly and before I could even think of details they were already done. I cannot say enough and cannot thank Uptown Catering and Sandra enough. I know where we will go for our younger daughters wedding. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Here is a photo of the table set up. Our guests are still talking about this wedding after 4 months.

My inquiries were first answered by Jeff and the first sentence in his email to me was “I can’t believe I’m getting so much for this price” and he couldn’t have been more correct. From the moment we contracted with Uptown their attention to detail and personalization was great. I loved how easy they made everything with the setup on their website, it was great. The day of the wedding was no different. When I walked into the reception area and saw how beautiful everything was set up I was in awe. The food tasted as good as the day I had the private tasting. My day of coordinator was there at all times to make sure everything was perfect (and it was). If you’re looking for a caterer who pays attention to detail and wants to ensure you have your dream wedding Catering by Uptown is the way to go.

I was recommended to Catering by Uptown by a colleague that said their food and service was very good. They truly did not disappoint. All of my guests raved about how the food was the best theyve ever had a wedding. I was very pleased with how all of the staff went above and beyond to make sure my night was perfect. If I could do it all over again I might change my venue to a Catering by Uptown venue. It would make the wedding planning process even easier. I definitely recommend Catering by Uptown for your catering needs

Elisabeth was our contact from Catering by Uptown for my son and daughter-in-laws wedding. It was held at the Star Spangled Banner Flag House. Elisabeth did an outstanding job in organizing the reception. Elisabeths attention to detail was superb! The food was excellent and the set-up was beautiful. Thank you Elisabeth and to all of the Uptown staff working behind the scenes to help make this a truly wonderful memory of a lifetime.

Our vow renewal by Catering by Uptown, was simply amazing!!! From starting to plan to the last second of our reception was without a hitch. Everyone we came into contact with, was a pleasure to work with. They answered every question I had, and handled every request. The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. I could not have asked for anything thing better!

Great company to work with! Went above and beyond to make our daughters sweet 16 as special as she is. Offered a separate stations menu for the teens , and a seated dinner for the adults. Our day of coordinator Eileen was amazing and made sure we actually enjoyed the day instead of worrying over the details.

The Villa is an amazing venue! My best friend just got married there. The perfect June wedding. Conveniently located with two hotels within walking distance. The staff was so helpful to the entire wedding party and the food was amazing!

Awful customer service, I would write a more in depth review but it will probably be deleted like the last one.
