After the fact, I have a question about Beverage and Bar packages. BTW, this was a seated/served dinner.
If you have/had Coffee Service to have with the wedding cake, do/did you expect the servers to offer it at your table? We were told this would happen; however, NO coffee was offered to any quests. About 8 guests did ask for coffee for their meal and were served coffee WITHOUT the saucer. OMG.
Beverages were suppose to be sweet ice tea, unsweetened ice tea, lemonade, Pepsi, Sprite and bottled water. None of this was served to any guests. My 10 & 12 year old grandsons had to ask for something to drink. Tap water w. ice was at each setting. Were guests expected to go to the bar to get their meal drink? Hardly, I would think.
And, we got a call as we came off the beach that we needed to bring ice to the venue. Hello! Did I miss something? Why was ice not supplied by the caterer?
Unbeknown to us, the rental co. delivered a flat of saucers (20) instead of bread & butter plates. So, when the caterer set the tables, the B&B were short (only 77 instead of 97). Never let us know. Never called the rental co. I found out when we got to the venue and I asked the chef why no B&B on the tables. Rental co. told me that all of the caterers call if anything is short, missing, etc. Would you be angry with the caterer for not letting anyone know about the B&B plates? The rental co. refunded us. Ironic that we had too many saucers since none were used!
Knotties, please give me your thoughts on this. The food was GREAT. But the beverage issue is still bothering me and my wallet.
