“Wheelhouse catered our wedding reception with a lightly staffed buffet service. Despite us choosing a budget-friendly tier, Jake and the rest of the Wheelhouse team treated us with the utmost care and professionalism.
The standout moment for us during our planning stage was when we first received the proposed menu. We loved the dishes selected, but as one side of our family is Taiwanese, we asked if we could have at least one Asian-inspired main dish. We didn't want to set our expectations too high, so any close to Asian flavor would have sufficed, but Jake and the team came back and proposed Three Cup Chicken as one of the main dishes, which thrilled and delighted us as Three Cup Chicken is a very beloved Taiwanese dish. And so we knew we had to hire them.
Wheelhouse was also very thoughtful about the dietary restrictions on our guest list, of which there were numerous. We wanted to know that every single guest could have a substantial meal, even the ones who always felt like they needed to bring their own food everywhere they went. We wanted them to feel taken care of, and Wheelhouse let us do that.
Shout-out to Oli and Elaina who staffed the buffet! They were fantastic and tucked away the leftovers in the venue fridge so we could easily take them with us to feed the family and friends that lingered over the rest of the weekend.
And also, the food was FANTASTIC! We had reports of people going back for seconds. The Three Cup Chicken and the Chickpea Tagine with couscous were standouts. Often vegan main dish options are considered an afterthought, but the tagine was a star. The compostable dishes and cutlery that came with our service was also a very nice touch.
It also didn't hurt that we told our Day of Coordinator that Wheelhouse was catering and she knew of their excellent food and service from working with them on other weddings. Truly, could not recommend Wheelhouse more."
It turned into a bit of an essay, but we had a lot to say! Once we receive our photos, we'll see if we can attach some food pics to our reviews or at least send them to you so you can have a copy. Thank you again for making our day so special.”
