a thyme to cook

Linda Sample made our backyard wedding absolutely amazing. The food was perfect, the servers were professional and attentive, and EVERYTHING looked beautiful.

A thyme to cook did a great job catering to our many requests and feeding lots of people while still making fantastic food. Our guests raved about the food saying they never expect good food at a wedding and they were really blown away. A thyme to cook was able to create a great menu that was unique to our tastes and finished off the night with a variety of delicious pies. In addition to the wonderful food, Linda was able to help us out as much as possible in terms of back of the house details and bringing everything together on the weekend of the wedding.

A Thyme to Cook was an absolute joy to work with. My husband and I got married over the summer at a location that requires you to bring in all of your own vendors- catering, entertainment, rentals, etc. We had the luxury of being able to choose a caterer and we were THRILLED that we went with A Thyme to Cook. From the first phone consultation we had, they were extremely kind and professional and treated us like we were important and not just another event on their busy schedule. They allowed us to be very creative with our menu- marrying our ideas with theirs and even came up with a dessert for us that included favorite flavors of my husbands. We are self-proclaimed "foodies" or "food enthusiasts", so we didn't want run of the mill wedding food & they definitely delivered. I still dream about some of the hors d'oeuvres...

Gina was lovely to work with- very calm and sweet with lots of wonderful ideas. Doug was our coordinator on the day of and he absolutely KILLED it. He completely took over on the day of the wedding- making sure all the vendors were where they needed to be, setting up the venue, wrangling the guests.. he did it all. After planning the entire day myself, I handed everything over to him two days prior and I had not a single worry in the world. ATTC transformed the venue into a magical place beyond what I could have ever imagined. I was literally in awe when we pulled up to the venue. Everyone says that you won't have time to eat at your wedding- but you will if ATTC is catering. When one of the stations in cocktail hour was about to run out, Doug made a plate and ran it over to me. We also had a waitperson assigned to us at the reception- named Michaela- who was fantastic. Every time I turned around, my husband and I had exactly what we needed! On a related note- I have worked for catering companies for several years- good and bad- and it was very clear that the staff was enjoying themselves. That definitely says a lot about the company. All I can say is that if you really want to have a special event, you can't go wrong with ATTC!

Yum!! I could not be more pleased with our decision to have A Thyme to Cook cater our wedding. Linda Sample is a foodie dream to work with! She had so many great ideas and I loved working with her entire staff. And our cake came out exactly how we wanted. We have received so many compliments on our wedding food. Go with A Thyme to Cook - they are wonderful!

I may sound like I am gushing, but: A Thyme to Cook created the perfect wedding reception for us. It was not a huge party but everything was absolutely perfect. For one, they came a long way, it seems, to cover the event. The food was delicious, and locally sourced/grown as possible. Cooked there on the spot (outside).The staff was professional and kind. They were all of the right things. You hardly noticed they were there, in a good way! Gina totally "saw" my ideas and vision for the theme of the party, and made amazing suggestions. Just great in every way. Seriously.

Great Staff! Dave was amazing and was very accommodating!! Food was phenomenal. We keep hearing how much people loved the food!!

Being in the event planning industry I know how important it is to find the perfect caterer. With that said I knew we needed someone to relieve my stress for our wedding day. A Thyme to Cook and our coordinator Gina Barber were amazing! We planned the wedding from across the country and they were always flexible, courteous, very detailed and a joy to work with. The day of the wedding Gina and the Thyme to Cook staff took care of everything, from ceremony set up, getting me ready to walk down the aisle, setting up beautiful food displays, to the cake cutting. If you are looking for impeccable service and food A Thyme to Cook is the caterer for you.

First, the food was fantastic. Second, they were extremely nice and professional. Third, they prepared individual meals for people with specific diets. They are unsurpassed in the region.

A Thyme to cook were absolutely impeccable. We wanted to have our Rehearsal Dinner at our home considering almost all of our guest came from out of town. So with a little rearranging of some furniture we had A Thyme to cook transform part of our finished basement into a kitchen. I cant say enough about how wonderful the food and staff were. I wanted to have a Thanksgiving like feel considering we dont get to spend Thanksgiving with all of our families. I wanted roasted turkey with gravy and kelbasi and saurkraut and mashies and gravy & stuffing and a wonderful salad...and the veggies were the best roasted medley of brussel sprouts and squash and others. The turkey was the most amazing turkey all of us have ever eaten. Our hordovers were mini cheeseburgers, mini hot dogs, and mini Lobster rolls. They were amazing too...everything made from scratch, nothing frozen. Fresh rolls too....I can't wait to have another event for them to caterer. Lauren our Event Manager was wonderful and didnt miss a step. They are absolute professions, and worth every penny.

This catering company was wonderful!! The attention to detail and personal service was wonderful. David and the staff that helped us in the days before our wedding, as well as the wedding day, were excellent!! Our guests RAVED about the food. I saw a friend of mine yesterday, and she said " I still think about that deliscious salmon that we had at your wedding." I do too! I was fully at ease knowing on my wedding day, and it was thanks to A Thyme to Cook!!

We had our reception at Harkness State Park in Waterford CT in June 2011- they have a list of 6 caterers that they allow to cater at this location. After many tastings and meetings with caterers, we decided to go with A Thyme to Cook. We had the pleasure of working with Dave from the start- he was awesome! He was very attentive, he listened to our wedding ideas, gave advice and his professional opinion when asked, and was able to work within our budget constraints. He never pressured us for any "upgrades" and many times suggested some cost effective alternatives- clearly not just looking to "make money" off of us. The food was excellent and they went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, Dave was our "go-to" guy- all vendors went to him for directions, he totally ran the show, made everything seamless, and made himself available for whatever we needed. When one of the vendors neglected to show for our wedding(!!), Dave was right there with us (dealing with our full blown panic attack!), and suggested another company he has worked with to fill in. He had the number to the company and made the arrangements for us, so we didn't have to stress about it any longer, and the new vendor was perfect. The server assigned to us at the wedding was excellent- she was totally attentive without being intrusive. The food was excellent- the only reason I gave the "quality of service" 4 stars was because I was told there were long lines at our reception for the food stations- some guests said they waited 30 minutes in line for food. Despite that, I felt this caterer was amazing, professional, and the food was excellent. Well worth the money!!

A Thyme To Cook catering was the best vendor at my wedding. Gina, my event coordinator at A Thyme to Cook, was unbelievable. I was a very opinionated bride who wanted everything JUST so- and she made it happen. She made my vision, her vision- and it seemed she didn't sleep until she had every detail ironed out for my wedding. Everything was so beautifully prepared, and the food was incredible. It's not often people go to a wedding a rave about the food- but I got SO many compliments about how creative, beautifully presented and delicious the food was at my wedding. The entire staff went out of their way to make our wedding day go as smoothly as possible- they were all so attentive, but when i think about my wedding day, i think about my husband and family and not about "the staff" being there- they were like little magic elves. I CANNOT recommend them ENOUGH!

A Thyme to Cook was really incredible from start to finish. Gina was wonderful to work with, and she helped fulfill our dream wedding! The food was amazing, our guests are still raving about it! The staff that helped at our wedding were second to none. Gina was so professional and helpful to us, as our venue was not your typical place, and we had a lot of questions and some anxiety about how it was all going to turn out. Our final product was nothing short of perfect, and I wish I could do it all over again!

A Thyme to Cook was our first and best choice when looking at caterers in the Connecticut shore area. A great team to work with, we found the staff responsive and accomodating. The food not only tastes fantastic, but the presentation and concept are also fun and enjoyable. Very reasonable pricing for the level of service and quality that you get.

Gina from A Thyme to Cook is amazing. She remembers every detail no matter if you told her a year from your wedding date or a day before the wedding. She is so pleasant to work with and actually miss talking to her now that the wedding is over!

She helped us work within our budget and made sure to give us all of the options both high cost and low cost, and then pointed out areas where we could cut costs to save money while still having the wedding we wanted.

A Thyme to Cook is a superb culinary enterprise! Their service, their style and their food is above reproach! You really can trust in them I promise! :)

A Thyme To Cook is simply one of the most professional and consistent caterers I have come across in the Connecticut region!
