Barclay Catering & Event Planning

Cathy and cyndi were AMAZING!!!! There was not one worry when we hired them. They were like a well oiled machine. We had not a minutes worry with anything. From the very start they handled all paperwork and made life so much easier. Def could not have done it without them!!!!!

Cathy and Cindy were on top of things! My wedding was absolutely flawless and all guests said that my wedding was the nicest they had ever been to! Also, we had a few unexpected guests arrive and they were able to accomodate those guests with no problem. I would definitely recommend Barclay catering and event planning to any bride. The whole process was stress free and easy because of cathy and cindy!

Barclay Villa is an amazing venue but is totally wowed when you have everything catered and planned using Barclay Catering and Event Planning. It was easy to plan the wedding, the reception, and the rehearsal dinner. They were easy to work with they listened to your ideas and wants then gave advice and were truly excited for you when helping to plan one of the biggest days of your life. It mean't a lot to me that everything was taken care of by step by step guides to keep me on track for the wedding time lines to get things done. Everything was amazing. The food was excellent.
The presentation was beautiful, the tables were elegantly done even before the florist came in to do her finishing touches. At the end of the night everything was organized and put back for me to take home. The whole experience was wonderful. It is a very difficult thing to organize a wedding and it was great having people with knowledge and experience to help make it a perfect day. They are friendly, caring and truly want to make your day special.

Barclay Catering and Event Planning was amazing to work with. They made every step of the planning process enjoyable! Mrs. Cathy is so knowledgeable when it comes to weddings; she had a solution/idea for everything we wanted in our big day. Her opinions and advice along the road of planning were greatly appreciated. Mrs. Paula and her staff did an exceptional job on the food at our reception. We are still receiving compliments from our guests on how wonderful the food was (especially the herb stuff chicken!). We can't thank Barclay enough for making our big day so perfect. It was truly an amazing day that we will remember forever!!

Cathy and Cindy of Barclay Catering and Event Planning were amazing! They made my big day completely stress-free and made sure everything was perfect. The food was amazing and they made sure my guests, my husband and I were happy throughout the whole night. I am so glad I found them, they made my wedding day truly spectacular. I highly recommend their services to any future brides out there!

They were absolutely wonderful to work with. From the moment we hired them I had no doubt that my wedding would be elegant. I trusted Cathy's judgement completly and Cindy was so helpful and responsive. They helped make my wedding day wonderful!

The food was great! We were very pleased with the food and also the presentation. A bit pricey but really good food!

They were FABULOUS!!! Our event was held in the Atlanta area February, 2012. We had about 225 guest. We received many complimentary comments on the layout of our setup and all of the attention put into the details. I cannot say enough about Chef Paula and Cathy on the professionalism and hard work they displayed throughout the entire event. The food was phenomenal and we were not left with a lot of overage. Our day went flawlessly!!!! :) Thank you, Thank you!!!

I can't begin to say what a fantastic choice we made in choosing Barclay Villa for our wedding, as well as their coordination and catering services. Cindy, Cathy and Paula ran a flawless wedding for us, the food was scrumptious, the ceremony and reception went off without a hitch, and they helped us every single step of the way. I absolutely know what a detail oriented control freak I am, as a person and as a bride, but they never letter me fret about a thing and accommodated all my needs. If we could do our wedding again, we'd do it exactly the same thanks to them. I absolutely recommend their services with my whole heart.

I've wanted to get married here every since I was a little girl. It is absolutely gorgeous, and just as beautiful on the inside. We really loved the fact that we could have both the ceremony and reception here. They also had a backup plan if bad weather threatened the outdoor ceremony. This venue can easily accommodate hundreds of guests but if you're having a smaller wedding (ours was around 80) Barclay doesn't seem empty and vast like many other large venues would. Amazing place!

I highly recommend Barclay Catering! They were able to turn our thoughts into reality. Not only did they do exactly what they said they would do but they did it better than we imagined. They truly seemed to care that our day was perfect and care about us. We were able to enjoy one of the most important days of our lives without anxiety because we knew everything was handled beautifully. We could not ask for better!

Barclay Catering and Event Planning has a great group of workers. They are all so wonderful to work with. It made our wedding day fantastic and stress free. Everything turned out perfect.

Barclay Catering did the dinner for the Triton High School ShowStoppers awards banquet...it was just wonderful...The food was absolutely beyond anything I had expected...the stuffed chicken was moist and tender and my tastebuds are still wanting more.
The waiters and waitresses kept my glass of sweet tea full and the coffee flowing. Chef Paula is just awesome and I can't wait till I can go again next year and truly enjoy the food and the atmosphere they provide.
Thank you all for the wonderful evening you gave us.

Barclay Villa and Barclay Catering and Event Planning must be the best kept secret in the Raleigh, NC area. When we were asked where our daughter was getting married, many of our friends and associates were quite surprised to learn of this magnificent venue. Many have lived in the Raleigh area for over 20 years.

From the day we agreed on a date and signed our contract, through the planning, the rehearsal, the ceremony, and the reception, Cathy, Cindy, Paula, as well as the owners, staff, and management of Barclay Villa are the most gracious, helpful, and accommodating people I've ever met.They were there every step of the way. As mother of the bride, I felt like a queen for the day and my daughter was a princess. Every need was attended to and nothing was overlooked. Thank you for all our memories!!

From pre-planning to finish, barclay catering and planning was so great to us in helping us personalize and plan our special day. They were great at giving ideas since they have so much experience in planning. A vendors list was given to us to pick out the very best and help us use people known to barclay for doing an extremely great job and also so it saved me time in looking for vendors. Also they gave a tasting workshop which was extremely helpful. You got to taste food in order to know what to serve for drinks, food , plates, silverware, colors of decorations, vendors also were there. It was very helpful. Cindy was so responsive in getting to me by email or phone when i would send her updates to the timeline they give out so you are running on schedule with planning. Since i was from out of town this became very helpful. I met withh cathy a couple times to go over specifics. They worked around my schedule. During the reheasal they taught us proper etiquette. The day of the wedding was a dream. Everything was perfect and how i imagined in a fairy tale! I would truly recommend this catering a d planning. They are very professional and treated me like royalty and are like family.

Barclay Catering was fantastic for our daughter, Liane's, wedding April 2, 2011! We couldn't have asked for any catering service to be any more helpful or responsive to any of our requests and/or communications. From day one, they were so friendly and professional and wanted to please and make sure that the "bride" was happy and made sure she was number 1 with all decisions. The food was delicious and delivered all that was promised as well as a great presentation. We can only thank all the service people, who were very professional and helpful, and especially thank Cathy, who from day one, made us feel like family. Cindy, who put up with all our e-mails and calls, and, of course, Paula, our great chef. Any changes were accomodated with ease and the value was outstanding. We're just sad it's over so quickly. We highly recommend these catering people to anyone soliciting a catering service.

This is a beautiful venue that takes care of the venue, reception location, catering and wedding planner. It is on the expensive side, but the villa is exactly what we were looking for. I only have a few complaints....There were a few occasions where there was a lack of communication between the wedding planner and the assistant to the wedding planner. We would go to these 2 hour meetings with the planner only to have the assistant emailing me with the same questions or vice versa. My only major issue was that I mentioned I have a gluten allergy and our final agenda listed I was to have a gluten-free breakfast the day of, lunch the day of, and breakfast the day after the wedding. I had no gluten-free food for any of those meals. When I asked the assistant at lunch if there was anything I could eat and I was told to take the meat off the bread from the sandwiches. They didn't save any of the food from the rehearsal dinner the night before, so my bridesmaids and I didn't have any food the night before. We had order a pizza. Some of the staff were a little rude to my guests as well. Overall, this is a beautiful venue and the food was great, but the wedding planner left a little lacking for the added price.

When you book the Barclay Villa, you have to use their exclusive caterer, which is Barclay Catering and Event Planning. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Their pricing was actually a little better than most places we looked. Their are no hidden fees, and while you do have to pay an $800 fee for their coordinator (non negotiable), she will give you your money's worth.

They really work with you to make sure your wedding is what you want. The food is great, and you can substitute items if needed. For instance, for the total cost per guest, we were able to choose a dessert. Instead, we substituted that for an appetizer for a cocktail hour. You really get a lot of bang for the buck.

You will feel like royalty the weekend of your wedding. They try to accommodate every wish, and they pay attention to every detail. Plus, they are just so friendly.

They are also extremely efficient. You will appreciate that the day of your wedding. Everything runs like clockwork...but not in a way that makes you feel structured. You are accommodated while also left alone to enjoy your day with your husband, family and friends.

We cannot praise Barclay Catering and Barclay Villa enough. We wish we could relive that weekend all over again.

Cathy and everyone at Frisco's is simply amazing. I would bother them a million times a week with questions and they always got back to me so promptly! The staff is so kind and helpful to a frazzled bride! All of the food they made for our rehersal dinner and wedding was super delicious! I was glad that when I booked Barclay Villa for our wedding they worked exclusively with Frisco's. I made it one less decision for me and since their food is so good I didn't mind at all!

I dont know if there's enough room for me to describe the impeccable service that I received! Everything was spectacular. Cathy is the best wedding coordinator ever! Her door was always open and she made me feel very comfortable. Her staff was super responsive! I am not local to the Angier area and I was not once worried about my wedding. Katie and Cindy were spectacular and emailed and called often. Additionally, they responded to all of my emails and calls very quickly. Katie and Cindy did everything in their power to make sure that my party and I were comfortable. They catered to our every need! All of my friends told me that something would go wrong and that I should not worry! If something went wrong... I don't know about it! Katie and Team took very good care of me!

My compliments to the chef (Paula)!!!! Everyone was super professional! The food was spectacular! Everything was prepared perfectly. Everything was superb! The food was fabulous! Not only did it look good... it tasted good! The iced tea was perfect! It was truly the best that I have had.

Everything was wonderful! I am so glad that I had my Reheasal Dinner there as well! Everything was great!!!!! I cant say enough about it. It was beautifully presented, well seasoned, and downright delicious!

Food was great and the service was awesome. Cathy is very profesional and was just a blessing to work with. Would book them again for any future events!

Barclay Catering and Event Planning is by far on of the best event planners that I have worked with.
I have had the pleasure of working with Cindy & Kathy on several weddings and they are professional and organized from start to finish. They treat each couple and their family with a personalized touch no matter what the theme, menu or conditions are they always come through with no worries.
The food is great too!

I would highly recommend Barclay Catering & Event...

What a wonderful place to have your wedding. Not only is the the most beautiful wedding venue in the area, they can truly make a dream wedding come true. It is by far, my favorite place to provide wedding transportation. No place compliments my vintage wedding car quite like Barclay Villa.

This staff has been on the ball at every wedding I've photographed at Barclay Villa! They are friendly, expedient, and very time aware. They are also quick to refill a glass and help a guest. Their food is delicious and well arranged! I would recommend this staff to everyone, and your guests will be impressed!

When brides tell me they are looking for the Cinderella experience for their wedding I say look no further than Barclay Villa. Once you step onto the grounds you will know you've found your dream location. Cathy, Cindy, Chef Paula and their incredible staff will take care of all your catering needs. The fabulous food displays and scrumptious meals that Barclay Catering & Event Planning creates are out of this world. You and your guests will be well taken care of with some of the best eats and goodies to be found anywhere.
If the glass slipper fits then ask the carriage driver to take you to Barclay Villa, where your prince awaits.
