Cynthia Brooks Distinctive Catering

Overall decent food. My wedding turned out extremely well at middle ranch. Cynthia is the exclusive cater for the venue,so there is not a choice to use a different caterer. We ordered the fresh fruit platter and mexican combo for appetizers, which were a hit and nothing left over. The salad was a mix green with feta cheese, cranberries and candied walnuts. Delicious! For dinner people had a choice of steak, fish or vegeterian. For the most part everyone enjoyed the food, the steak was a little to bloody for some of my guest so some people did have to send it back. Also we had called in and give the count of How many fish, steak, vegeterian and kids meal at each table, and the servers were still having problems getting the order out. The bartender was amazing!!! There was never a long wait, she was very quick on her feet, knowledgable, and friendly.

As far a the Administrative office they will nickle and dime you over everything! I would not use this cater again, and it is ashamed that they are an exclusive cater to such a great place. They told me I had called in an order an additonal meal which I did not, and they wanted me to pay open bar for the Teenagers who were at my wedding and ordering an adult meal. Unless they are the exclusive cater to a place I would steer clear of this company.

We had appetizers before the ceremony, appetizers after the ceremony, two dishes served as a sit-down dinner, full bar, wine. . .the works. Cynthia Brooks Catering did a fantastic job. . .the food was hot and delicious and we still have people tell us how good the food was over a year later!

Cynthia and her team were the perfect blend of friendly, professional, accommodating, honest, and delicious. Our wedding and reception were outdoors, which could have posed to be a problem. But not for Cynthia, everything went so smooth and we got a lot of compliments on the cuisine. If nothing else, order the salmon. We ordered 2 large whole salmons, which was covered in scales made of cucumbers, not only did people rave about it, they took pictures of it. (We didn't get a chance to taste it, cause it went so fast!) From the start, Cynthia made us feel at ease and told us not to think twice about changing around the menu as many times as we liked, and she really did have a lot of good insight for all our questions. Highly recommend. Oh and they had a fresh pasta bar where they cook your pasta on the spot. How can you not like that!

I would not recommend using Cynthia Brooks catering. Unfortunately, she was the only choice to use at my wedding venue, and I loved my venue. Cynthia herself is rude. She is not flexible at all. We had a lot of difficulty working with her before the wedding. Things we wanted to add she either would not do, or wanted to overcharge for.
At the wedding, the wrong meat was served, and it was served completely overdone. She never served our dessert, which is supposed to be included in her fee. Also, we ordered drinks for our ceremony and her staff was alte setting it up.
Unless you HAVE to use her company, do not.

I have to thank everyone who worked on and at our wedding. You were wonderful! Our guests raved about the food. I found the servers to be polite, friendly, cheerful and efficient and it was an absolute pleasure to have our wedding at Middle Ranch
