Beware! Contract for wedding rehearsal dinner required 50% deposit. Deposit paid in amount of $1300. Cancelled contract after failed tasting menu, that triggered gluten allergy in breach of contract. Rhonda Falcon promised to refund $800 several times. In writing! First by check. Next month by credit card refund. Next month, again promised. Now won't respond to inquiries.

Showed up 2 hrs late & would not answer phone or even called as to when they were coming. They never got food out in timely manner or properly presented & displayed. As my Guests were standing around waiting to be fed both people were outside vaping. There were Empty chafing dishes & charcuterie board was a joke. She never offered apology or even partial refund & never returned calls or responded to emails. Turns out Rhonda the owner was babysitting for her son who she sent in her place with his friend. Absolute nightmare & I would never have hired them had I known that was her plan. I know our event was very small as I explained to Rhonda. Our family had recently had a tragedy so we were doing a very small gathering at our house & she almost laughed when I asked if she would be coming. Sending her ill equipped son & a friend who got dressed in our driveway for our wedding was egregious breach of professionalism so it turns out she could babysit her grandchild. I so wish I had hired someone else. Was not as I would ever have expected hiring a professional caterer should ever be.

SS catered my daughters baby shower this past weekend. It was perfect. I will start with this, when asking for quotes in the beginning, I said I wanted the food to be happy! Beautiful and colorful. Rhonda did not disappoint. Her staff were wonderful, professional and cleaned up and put away everything before they left. Certainly would recommend them (and use them) again. Thank you for making my daughter special day extra special.

We used Saucy Salamander for our company’s Christmas party and couldn’t have been happier! Rhonda (owner) was amazing to work with! Rhonda created a delicious menu with many options that pleased everyone. Planning the party was seamless with her as she helped with steering us in the right direction for many other vendors! All of the staff were so friendly and accommodating! I can’t say enough about Saucy Salamander. We will definitely be using them for future catering events!

Next month this review will be 14 years overdue. As others have said Rhonda is amazing. She isn't a wedding coordinator, but sure did a lot to make our wedding day fantastic. Her work was so seamless and so through the catering was never a thought or a concern. It was my wedding day and the service was so outstanding and professional I was able to fully focus on enjoying my day and not concern myself with anything else. All special requests all needs, all requirements were met with complete perfection. There was zero, zero, zero issue or drama. Now the food. OMG. First it was gorgeous. I didn't know if I should look at it or eat it. The display was beyond fantastic. But it is food, ya gotta eat. Oh yeah, the trend of perfection continues. So very, very good. I don't have many opportunities to use catering but if I did I would make only one phone call and one call only. Saucy Salamander.

Rhonda and her team were amazing. She helped me and my husband navigate having to reschedule our wedding due to COVID. She was always available to answer every email and call I made. The wedding day was perfect; even though we ended up with about half of our original guest count, the team did everything to make it surpass my expectations. We did not hire a wedding planner and really had no need to due to Rhonda's diligence and efficiency. I would use this company for any event in the future.

Saucy Salamander catered our recent wedding and thanks to Rhonda and the wonderful team at Saucy Salamander, it really was the fantastic celebration we had hoped to share with our family and friends. The food was beautiful, delicious and remarkable. Literally. Each guest we have spoken with since just loved the food and many said that it was the best wedding dinner they have ever had (with several mentions of the Saucy Salad alone)! Rhonda and her team set the room perfectly. Thanks to her many years of experience as an approved caterer at our venue, they transformed the space into an elegant room with our simple decor. They attended to my new husband, me and our all of our guests with thoughtful care. But catering is not all that they do. Rhonda was an enormous help in the planning and decision making process. She made navigating the many options easy, and generously made suggestions and provided recommendations for items I needed help with or had not thought of - and there were many. She guided us through selecting linens, securing rentals and the wine and spirits for the bar, and referred us to an excellent bakery for the cake. I truly can't thank Rhonda and the Saucy Salamander Team enough for their work to make our wedding the wonderful evening that it was. I would highly and wholeheartedly recommend Saucy Salamander to anyone catering an event of any kind, large or small. I am so very happy that they catered our wonderful wedding day!!

Saucy Salamander catered a wedding and reception for us in May, 2019 and we were thrilled with everything they did for us! Rhonda was so warm and friendly and, above all, absolutely wonderful to work with...she quickly understood our ideas and was able to offer us expert advice and many helpful suggestions. She guided us through every step of the process with gentle reminders and great enthusiasm! On the wedding day, it was evident that Rhonda and her staff were making every effort to help us host a very special and fabulous celebration. Our guests praised their professional manners, efficient service, and, of course, their delicious food! We could not have asked for a better company...we would not hesitate to recommend them for any catering needs, but especially for a wedding and reception that you'll always remember with much pride and happiness!

I just can't say enough about Rhonda and the team at Saucy Salamander Catering! Not only was the food delicious (we had numerous guests say it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding!), but the service that Rhonda provides is outstanding. We selected our caterer early on in the wedding planning process, and Rhonda stepped up early on to help me in any way possible. Since I didn't hire any kind of wedding planner, her help was so appreciated and relieved a lot of stress. On the day of the wedding, she arrived with her team early and ensured that every detail of the reception was perfect. I'll admit I'm a perfectionist and she surpassed every expectation. During the reception, she took care of me and my husband so well, serving us food, drinks, and cake right to our sweetheart table. If you're looking for a trustworthy, experienced caterer who can serve the most delicious food at your wedding, then you need to hire Saucy Salamander!
