Alex's Catering

I'll start off by saying the food tasted REALLY good at the wedding; we also had a great time at the tasting. Our sales rep was incredibly nice, as was the wait staff at the wedding.

With that said, there were some issues I had with them at the wedding. My biggest beef was the cost. I understand things are pricey in the Napa Valley; however, I don't think what we got from them warranted such high costs, especially for a dry wedding. Also, apparently there was some miscommunication about the drinks at the tables for the guests - they were wrong, and clashed unmercifully with our linens. They also didn't provide a few items that were on our agreed-upon menu, which REALLY disappointed me. The service was unusually slow, and they cut our cake into microscopic pieces for our guests, even though we had enough to go around (it was embarrassing).

I was hoping for more for the price we paid.

Alex's catered our friends' wedding in Napa, and we were so impressed with the food and the five-star wedding that we never even considered Alex's when we started looking for a caterer - we just assumed it would be way out of our price range. After shopping around and finally asking our friends about the cost, we were amazed at how much cheaper Alex's was as compared to most of the caterers we considered.
All of our guests RAVED about the food - it was every bit as delicious as it was at our tastings. Almost equally important was the grace and composure with which they handled the totally anal obsessive-compulsive bride (who really never surfaced until about 2 days before the wedding) - I personally selected certain wines & magnums of wine for certain tables, and Alex's got all the right wine to the right tables.
Most importantly, however, one of the saint waitress who made a point of hunting me and DH with apps at numerous points during the cocktail hour. That alone was worth everything we spent.
Highly recommended.
