We were contacted within a month of our wedding on a Friday night by Feast Imbibe stating the cost of catering would increase. At this point, our contract had been signed and feast imbibe refused to honor it. We were not able to find a new caterer the month of our wedding and instead had to pay feast imbibe SIGNIFICANTLY more than our contract. We were able to negotiate the charges to be approximately 10%, which we had not budgeted for, considering we had a signed contract. Additionally, the event coordinator who we were communicating with was not at our event, after she told us multiple times she would be. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, do not let feast imbibe make it more stressful with their last minute price increases, lack of honoring a contract, and flakey staff.
We selected Feast Imbibe as the caterer for our wedding because the food was head and shoulders above the rest of the caterers we tasted. They were able to make great food that was restaurant worthy (as opposed to okay wedding food . Throughout the process in crafting a menu, Heather and D 'Andre were super helpful in creating an experience that fit our needs and were flexible in helping us get there. In the end, the event turned out beautifully the food was FANTASTIC and we got so many compliments! I would highly recommend the cigars, corn cones (a friend lovingly referred to them as crack cones , short rib, mushroom quinoa, roast potatoes, etc... okay, I 've listed just about the whole menu, but everything was truly outstanding. We both felt that the food at the wedding beat our expectations and enjoyed every last bit of it. Would definitely recommend F I for your event! It will wow your guests!
I can't recommend the Feast and Imbibe team strongly and avidly enough. They catered our 100-person wedding in an unconventional outdoor venue and were invaluable every step of the way. The food was TO DIE FOR. The entire team was incredibly pleasant and professional. They really made it a night to remember. From our tasting onward we were floored by their incredible flavors, eye-catching presentation, and wonderful attitude. And at a very reasonable price point! Heather was responsive to my many queries every step of the way. Thanks to them the evening ran smoothly and an incredible time was had by all.
Fantastic service and fantastic food. They catered a birthday party this weekend for my mother-in-law and the food was amazing. They did all of the food prep and plating in the kitchen. The menu was meant to be served as small bites and they were served in that fashion. We had salmon ceviche, butternut squash soup shooter, chicken and waffles (my favorite I think I had 4 of them , mushroom pasta, chicken liver mousse, lamb kebabs, duck stuffed mushrooms, short ribs, and wagyu beef sliders (also amazing! . The dishes were evenly spaced throughout the night. When they left they cleaned the kitchen spotless. Amazing!!
I debated on writing this review because I wanted to empathize with businesses during the pandemic, but ultimately feel it’s important to share my experience with other couples that may lock themselves into a contract with Feast Imbibe. Two weeks before our wedding, they emailed us on a Friday evening that they would need to increase pricing which amounted to a couple thousand dollars. I’ll paste the email below. One week prior to receiving this email, we went for our tasting and despite it being one of the primary reasons for choosing them as our caterer, they served me an appetizer with gluten when we explicitly discussed and even emailed back and forth that I was Celiac. I even confirmed this while onsite at the tasting. I was very understanding of this mistake even after becoming extremely ill and having to take personal time off from work, etc., so when I received this email a week later and felt stuck because I had less than 2 weeks to react, I wanted to share my experience so other couples would understand the terms they were agreeing to. Also for those that have serious allergies, they should be aware of this mistake. I added one star because our service the day of our wedding was incredible, and I truly hope they used some of the extra money we paid to fairly compensate their employees. Email below: We hope this message finds you and your family happy, in good health, and looking forward to the exciting celebrations to come in the year ahead! We regret having to send this message, but with the steady increase in food and staffing costs, we are no longer able to honor 2019 and 2020 and even early/mid 2021 pricing. It’s extremely important to us that we maintain the level of service and quality promised to you when we began working together, and feel strongly that this additional investment in your event will ensure its success. Knowing that this has been an incredibly difficult time for everyone who has had to make adjustments to their celebrations, we have done all we can up until now to remain flexible in changing dates and avoid imposing penalties for these changes. We have been happily absorbing additional costs wherever needed to ensure that your event remained unaffected, despite these changes being fueled by outside economic factors. However, it is no longer sustainable for the business to continue absorbing these costs. While our current pricing for new services has unfortunately increased almost 60% from early 2021 to now, to be as fair as possible we are asking for a 25% increase in food and staffing charges and 20% increase on rentals, effective immediately. The additional funds will be directly applied towards covering the expenses we are paying out of pocket on behalf of your event. We are extremely grateful for your trust in us executing your celebration, and appreciate your understanding as we navigate the evolving changes in the industry. Please feel free to reach out to with any questions or concerns around this updated pricing. We’d be happy to discuss what these changes mean for your event in more detail or to look for ways to help you get closer to your original budget. We’ll be back in the office on Monday, ready to work with you to find the best solution for everyone. Looking forward to hearing from you, and thanks again for your understanding. Best, The Feast Imbibe/Soul Smoke team
