Pretty awful wedding food, the risotto resembled what you collect at the bottom of an over cooked rice pot that you’re gunna have to let soak overnight. The steaks were so over cooked they would make your mouth feel like a desert made of cardboard. Service was good just a big miss on the food.

Hi RB, Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. First, I want to thank you for recognizing our service team—they work incredibly hard, and I’m glad that showed. However, I am truly sorry that the food did not reflect the high standards we set for ourselves. Hearing that our steak and risotto missed the mark for you is incredibly disappointing for our entire culinary team. We take your feedback seriously and have already met internally to ensure it doesn't happen again. We hope to have the chance to serve you again in the future and provide the flawless culinary experience we are normally known for. All the best! Richard

We had a wonderful experience with Wild Thyme's services. From the variety of the menu, to the professionalism of the onsite staff, to the aesthetic of the food layout, everything was fantastic, and our guests were very impressed! We chose a mezze table, tablescape buffet, and dessert spread. The mezze table was a Greek assortment of whipped cheese, veggies, olives, bread, etc. For the tablescape, we got three salads, short rib with balsamic glaze, and fish (I think it was seabass). The staff did a great job keeping the food warm after we delayed the serving time, due to the heat wave of summer. The only things that were a bit challenging were receiving timely email responses, as we had to follow up frequently to confirm things, and then dealing with a nut allergy in our party. We had originally asked to remove any/all nuts from the dinner, and two of the dishes (appetizer/dessert) were still served with pistachios (I had explicitly asked in my menu outline to remove the pistachjios). I wasn't able to catch this during the dinner, as I was running around hosting, and it not only posed a safety hazard to my family member but prevented them from enjoying some of the food I paid for. When I shared this experience with the catering associate via email after the event, I never heard back from him. All in all it was still a good experience with Wild Thyme, and I highly recommend the food and staff for elevating any private events and dazzling your guests.

Hi Jenn, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're so sorry that the nut allergy accommodations were not addressed in a proper manner. We'll definitely take this back to our team. We are happy to hear that you did have an overall wonderful experience. We hope that we can celebrate with you again!

We hired Wild Thyme Catering for our wedding and was truly a hallmark of our entire reception! We had about 100 guests for our wedding with buffet style meal along with hors d'oeuvres and desserts. Throughout the entire selection/planning process, each member of Wild Thyme was professional and quick to respond, which made it that much easier for us. Guests continue to rave about the food that Wild Thyme provided, noting that it was some of the best food at a wedding they have ever had. Some thought it was a restaurant and wanted to make a reservation! For anyone considering Wild Thyme, would give my highest recommendation, experience was A+ all throughout.

We worked with Wilde Thyme for our Barnbougle Castle wedding, and truly can't recommend them enough!! All of their patience and attentiveness during the long months of planning, answering all of our questions, assuaging our nerves and anxieties, and showing us so much compassion and care for our event was all so meaningful. Despite working with hundreds of couples this wedding season, they truly made us feel like the only ones. Most importantly, the food was stellar. The team of chefs knocked it out of the park. We received SO many compliments on how delicious the food was, from both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike, and on the generous portions. Everyone was so delighted with everything from the canapes to dinner to the late night snacks, and not one person went home hungry! The chocolate dessert in particular was a HUGE crowd pleaser. We also got so many compliments on the catering staff, particularly on everyone’s kindness and how seamless the entire day felt. Every member of your team went above and beyond to make our guests feel so welcomed! The professionalism and dedication of Ross and his entire team is unparalleled, and we are so so lucky to have worked with them for our wedding.

Wild Thyme was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. The entire process felt so easy and seamless—we always felt taken care of and in good hands. Our personal tasting was such a special experience, and we loved being able to make a few thoughtful tweaks afterward to make everything just right. On the wedding day, they somehow managed to outdo themselves—the food was even better than we remembered from the tasting, which honestly felt impossible. Every single dish was incredible, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was. Beyond the food, the service was just as impressive. The servers were so kind, attentive, and professional throughout the entire evening. We had multiple guests comment on how cared for they felt, which made such a difference in the overall experience. We are so grateful to Wild Thyme for helping make our wedding feel so special, elevated, and unforgettable. They truly exceeded every expectation.

We selected Wild Thyme to cater our wedding at The Secret Garden and their food was absolutely next level. The spread they put together was beyond words! We selected two performance stations, paella and prime rib. The paella pan was such a fun lively addition the the wedding but the attention to detail was spectacular. It was loaded with seafood, fresh vegetables, stuffed peppers, and cooked to perfect. The prime rib was incredibly tender and cooked perfectly. The appetizers (pork belly egg, croquette, grilled cheese, carrot soup, and ahi poke cup were also amazing. Each item was plated and passed so beautifully. Days after our wedding and our guests are still raving about the food. In addition to the amazing food, the service was excellent. The waitstaff were so kind and attentive, checking in on all the guests often. The planning process with Wild Thyme was also very smooth. They were very accommodating to our ideas, requests, and questions. Sophie was very responsive. We would recommend Wild Thyme again and again. We hope we are invited to an event served by Wild Thyme so we can enjoy the food again!

We hired The Wild Thyme Company to cater our wedding in August 2025 and were incredibly impressed by their service and food quality. The day-of execution was flawless — the food was elegantly presented and, more importantly, delicious! Seriously, it was just as good as the tasting, if not better. The raw bar during cocktail hour was a huge hit with our guests, too. We still have guests complimenting us on the food weeks later. Their serving staff was professional, kind, and attentive. We did a "flip" so that we could have both our ceremony and reception outdoors at our venue, and they killed it! The tables looked perfect. Another detail we really appreciated: while we were off taking photos during cocktail hour, our event coordinator, Savannah, personally brought us a plate of appetizers so we didn’t miss out. So sweet - thank you, Savannah! Of all our wedding expenses, this was the largest — and we have no regrets. The food and service fully lived up to the price. The only challenge we faced was that there were periods where email responses took longer than expected, which was a bit stressful at times. In hindsight, it seems they dedicate the most attention to weddings that are 2–3 weeks out — which totally makes sense and paid off in the end. But if you're not working with a planner (we weren’t), just be aware that you might need to be a little patient in the earlier phases of planning. Overall, we’re very happy we chose The Wild Thyme Company. They brought a level of quality and polish to our wedding that truly made the day feel special.

Thank you so much for choosing us to be part of your celebration. We are ecstatic to know that you had an amazing experience working with our team, especially Savannah. We are also glad to hear that your guests are still talking about the food beyond your wedding day- that makes us happy to know that they truly enjoyed the menu you selected and the flavors we created. Congratulations again on your wedding. We wish you many years of love and happiness.
