It doesn't get any worse than this! Working with the La Tea Das new team is the definition of a nightmare to the point that I have been waiting for after my wedding to post my review in fear they would ruin my wedding! That's the kind of person Janet (the owner) is. I read the reviews below and I would agree 100% to all of them when Kelly Matthews was on board. And that is when I reached out to La Tea Das to cater my wedding and the first experience was amazing - I felt so confident in her approach, ideas and she even helped me find ways to cut cost and get the most for my money. Well during my engagement Kelly left the company and after working with the owner it was SO clear why! I work in the hospitality industry and I have never been spoken to like that in all my years' experience. I was speechless after our first conversation! She opened the conversation with explaining that Kelly has left and then her second comment was how foolish I was to have my wedding in the location that I had chosen. Excuse me?? My wedding was at the Charlotte Museum of History in their outside gardens - it was breathtakingly beautiful - of course there is a risk for having it outside but that doesn't make me stupid! So she talks for the entire 45 minute call never ONCE asking what I wanted, what my thoughts were, or how we envisioned our big day. Nothing! She just talked and talked and in this conversation she is adding, adding and adding items to increase my bill of things I never wanted or asked for. It was clear ALL she cared about was bringing me to the cleaners. So when I tried at a later date to adjust the items to get back into my budget; she told me I couldn't they have already made too many adjustments for me and they can't do anything else. Are you crazy? What are you talking about? We never made any adjustments they were all adjustments you made that your customer doesn't want! I could go on for hours but it's not worth it.
In the end we were able to get out of the contract and I hired another caterer...Creative Catering that was AMAZING! The food was to die for and the service was perfection. Corey the owner is such a wonderful person he will make you laugh and do everything it takes to make sure your wedding is the best day of YOUR life! And ours truly was...thankfully. Thankfully we were able to run far away from La Tea Das and if you are searching for caterers you should too!
