| - I was completely flabbergasted when at the end our wedding tasting, I was asked to pay $20 per person for the tasting! WTF! Who charges for a tasting when you are about to spend $11,000 on your event?! I was never even told about this charge prior to coming in for the tasting either - it was more like, "ok, I'll take the payment for the tasting now". Who said anything about a charge!?
Aside from this, the quality of the food is very poor. The chicken parm tasted like cardboard, the roast beef was obviously just thawed from being frozen and it was rubbery and tasted like it was heated in a microwave. We tried a pork dish that was covered in gelatinous slime and was absolutely disgusting. The only thing that was ok was the stuffed shells. Did I seriously pay $20 PER PERSON for this?
Even more, we had a tasting at another catering company (Taste of Excellence) that was way more professional, the food was cooked fresh, and they didn't charge us for a tasting. Totally Cooked charged us $20 per person for literally "tastes" of the food (ie: tiny portions) - maybe I wouldn't have been so disappointed paying $20 if the amount of food wasn't microscopic - at least I would have gotten a meal out of it! There is no way that amount of food even cost them $5. The other catering company served us an entire 5 course meal with no questions asked. Lastly, the other/better catering company gave us a quote of $8,000 for more food than what Totally Cooked quoted us! This was an obvious no brainer interms of who to go with for our big day.
So overall, very disappointed on a ridiculous quote of $11000 (for what I can get for $8000) and the surprise factor on having to pay for our tasting.
Super bummer.
