Cosmic Catering

Do not fall for the sales pitch...I should have trusted my fiancé (now wife's) instinct that anyone who must pump their own tires that much is overselling. We were told they would light all the candles and open the wine bottles; we were also to receive a complimentary bottle of Champagne...we asked about it and the servers knew nothing of it. On to the food...the carrots were described as honey glazed; they were steamed sliced carrots. We had 12 less guests than we counted on when giving our final count yet the chicken ran out and 4 tables (32people) had to go without. Overall a disappointing decision for the $4000 we spent on our wedding dinner. Now we know for next time.

Wow after reading the other comment the exact same thing happened to me on my wedding day. A number of thing were discussed and outcome on the day of the wedding was completely different. I had an outdoor wedding this July and Monique knew this from day one...on the day of the wedding Monique wasnt there and never stopped by at any point in the evening. The staff that showed up looked like a bunch of turkeys as they were stairing at our outdoor tent wedding walking in circles saying they didn't know how to set up for this. My dad and long time family friend on the day of my wedding set up all the table for the staff and pretty much arranged the trays etc on the tables (pretty much did their job). At the head table we were told their would be a bottle of champagne for toasting one was not given to us nor was one left for us anywhere?!?! The roasted potatoes were to be a split order with rice pilaf which didn't happen we only recieved the potatoes. The Salmon was to have a hollandaise sauce with shrimp instead it was covered with a teriyaki glaze of some sort. At the end of dinner all the left overs were to be left at the house and this was pre discussed as well with Monique. At the end of the night and early morning my poor mother realizes nothing was left, so after having a long wedding day and late night she had to get up in the morning and go grocery shopping for food for the next day. Food that we were promised would be left as we where having a house wedding not a hall wedding. So on top of the fact that my parents had to now dish out more money for food that should have been left we get no response from Monique at cosmic catering. We have sent over a letter twice with our issues all laid out and have called with no response. It is extremely disappionting that a business would conduct it self in this manor, no feedback, no explanation, no attempt at rectifying the situation.

Very very disappointed with services from cosmic catering!!

I had read all the great reviews for Cosmic so went with them, even without a tasting. We had ordered some extra special things that were important for us. My husband and Father both love lamb so we added a rack for just the two of them. It wasn't cooked properly so it came out dry and tough. I had also requested strawberry pie as it's my favorite. During the planning process we had never talked about additional costs etc, so I assumed foolishly that she was substituting other things for the pie, and that she would take the cost for the 2 men into the cost for the wedding. The food for the most part was good. Veggies were extremely over cooked, the mushed in your mouth. When I got my bill there were about 5 charges on it that had never been discussed or approved, including napkin charges. The caterer said they come up and serve the food for the Bridal party/family so they don't get food on their clothes and this wasn't done either. Normally I would not put a negative review in as it's not that big of deal in the long run, but when I called the company to discuss the items that weren't correct I got excuse after excuse and the blame game getting passed on to other vendors. I was told all the desserts would be made in house, they weren't they were bought from a different baker. I was charged 17.00 for my strawberry pie and it had a price tag of 4.95 on the box.... and it was strawberry rhubarb... totally different pie, and not my favorite. Day of the wedding the caterers demanded a cheque from my father when I had already paid the bill by credit card 3 days before (not what the contract says at all). When I called Monique to ask about this I got her voicemail and I left a message requesting she call me back, but no call was ever returned. When I finally got ahold of her after the wedding regarding the issues we went back and forth for over an hour and the end result is I get a credit for the pie... nothing was done about the veggies or other mishaps and she didn't offer anything to make me happy. I have at least 3 friends getting married over the next 2 years and neither will be using their services... My wedding planner has said the same about her brides that she has coming up. I would go with a different caterer that offers tastings and really get the charges/details up front so no surprises. I hope this helps you plan your special day so that it stays special and your not dealing with this a day or two after the wedding.

Very easy to deal with. Very knowledgeable. Able to provide names of bartenders. Provide all linens, INCLUDED in price.

Cosmic is a great caterer!! Wonderful service. I would recommend to anyone in the Lower Mainland/Fraser Valley!!
