We are having our wedding at the Gramercy Mansion and they have a preferred list of vendors.  I'm looking for feedback for the following vendors:

Classic Caterers
Innovative Gourmet
Hunt Valley Catering

Have you used or know anyone who has used these caterers?  Your comments would be appreciated.

    I work at Hopkins doing events. We just started using Innovative Gourmet as a vendor a few months ago. Their food is great, and they're not tooooo expensive. The woman we deal with most of the time (name doesn't come to mind right now, but she's probably the wife of the owner) was a little late though, and seems a little airheaded. They got everything set up in time and we didn't hear anything in the other room while we were having the event, though.

    You have those listed pretty much in order of most to least expensive.  While I have never knowingly eaten anything from Classic or Innovative I have been to 2 weddings where Hunt Valley was the caterer and the food was delicious (and totally different) both times.

    I have heard that the office person at Hunt Valley used to be a bit hard to get a hold of by phone, but that e-mail response time was pretty good.  However, that was from a wedding that was several years ago now, so things may be different.

    Good Luck in your choice!!

    I am too having my wedding at Gramercy! I ended up picking Simply Elegant as our caterer. It was the best compromise in cost and taste.  While I heard such good things about Hunt Valley, personally I thought the food was awful in both tastings, I will admit though that my father is chef .... I really wanted classic or linwoods based on food quality but I could not fit it in my budget.

    Let me know any thing you need. I have tons of sample pricing for almost  every Gramercy caterer.

    I'm a little late to the party here -- but I would recommend By Carlton Catering over all of these. I met with Innovative and agree with whoever said they were a little slow on the uptake! Classic has great cakes, but their food is just mediocre. I got a quote from Hunt Valley and it was so cheap, that it scared me away! I've heard that the food is good though.
    Carlton's menu is great and he does so much on the wedding day. He is basically a caterer and a day of coordinator. He helps with booking other vendors too, if that's what you're looking for! He is a little more expensive, but I could justify it because of all of the added perks.

    Good luck :)
