Angelo Buffet

I am a bride who was married this past weekend. We used Angelo’s services.
First of all, Belkis had stated she would be like a «coordinator» on the day of our wedding and would handle everything. I had a friend of mine go meet them at our reception while we did the ceremony; so that she could deliver some of the table décor and the favors. She was only supposed to transport some supplies for us and be available should the catering company have any questions. She is a friend and guest, not an employee. She was not being paid by the catering company to do their job.
Rather than act as a proxy for us she was made to do most of the decorating. She was also told that she could not put candles on the tables even though we had already explained what we planned to have on the tables. The caterer later lied and stated she could have put the candles on the table. This was a bold lie. Why did my girlfriend have to do their job? I paid alot of money for them to come set up.
Well, of course they didn’t set up for us. The owner was too busy having another couple come to OUR reception and sample OUR food and look at OUR décor. She was making deals while she was supposed to be preparing for my wedding. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. By the way, that couple sampled our food meanwhile 3 people at my wedding did not receive a plate of food… (And we ended up with 75 guests, and had accounted and paid for 76 in advance; we had 1 no show) My husband had to give our flower girl his plate of food so she could eat.
As the wedding progressed she was constantly on me and yelling at me; rushing me and telling me what to do. She also yelled in Spanish to my non-​Spanish speaking husband throughout the night. She tried to state that the wedding was 630‑1030 even though on multiple occasions we told her no, the wedding is 7 – 11. She then began arguing with my mother in front of all of our guests that the wedding was only supposed to be until 1030, and literally removing the chairs from beneath my guests for the last half hour,
I didn’t receive a slice of my own wedding cake because as one of her servers walked by with a tray of slices of cake myself and 2 groomsmen asked for 1, and were told they were for another table. (I was the bride…) when I went back to my table we had not received wedding cake, and my table was bare. They had removed everything from it and taken the chairs.
We paid for open bar and ran out of beer before 10pm. We only had 75 guests, and only about ¹⁄₃ of them even drank so this was baffling for me. When a friend of ours went and got more they yelled at him and refused to use it to serve guests. They also kept my wedding favors in cardboard boxes next to my BRIDAL PARTY TABLE and never gave them out. Most of my guests never received their favor.
All in all it was a nightmare. The food was tasteless; none of her staff spoke English; she was constantly yelling at me and rushing me. She used our set up time to try to reel in another client using OUR food and our venue. How dare you! And then for the last half hour of my wedding my guests watched them literally tearing everything down… UNBELIEVABLE AND UNACCEPTABLE.
DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE RIDICULOUS. I AM APPAULED THAT THEY MANAGE TO STAY IN BUSINESS. If you look for them on Wedding Wire you will find a few other reviews of experiences similar to ours. SHAME ON THESE PEOPLE!!!

So far, so good with Angelo’s! Belkys is very sweet and attentive and answered all my questions when I first inquired about their services. They offer EVERYTHING. And by everything… I mean EV-​ERY-​THING. They have a huge reference list, and they’re pretty well known in the wedding circles. They catered my cousin’s wedding a couple of years ago and it was the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding, hands down. It was REAL! HALLELUJAH!
Best of all they have excellent prices. When I tried the food at my cousin’s wedding I thought they must have spent an arm and a leg… but for 150 guests and full bar and sit-​down dinner I’m paying a little more than $ 6,000. You can’t beat that, especially for the quality of the food and for everything it includes.
They also serve as liasons between you and the other vendors. This reduces a lot of stress on the bride’s end. I had an issue with the linens company, so I told Belkys about it and she immediately called them and got the whole thing straightened out. She is also serving as our coordinator the day of the wedding to make sure all vendors are setting up at the appropriate times, guiding guests into the venue, making sure we eat, etc. I’m really excited about Angelo’s!
