Bold American was a complete disappointment as a wedding caterer. Complete. I would like to say, first of all, that I did not come into this wedding with unrealistic expectations. I understand that this is bulk catered food and will not be restaurant quality. That being said, the food provided by Bold American was a complete and utter disappointment and many of our guests commented negatively upon the quality of the food. We as a couple getting married were embarrassed, and I was embarrassed to hear that many of our guests went down the street after the wedding to grab an “actual meal”. Even we as the newlywed couple went to a hotel bar after OUR WEDDING to grab two hamburgers so we could have something decent to eat. We participated in Bold American’s tasting, which was a complete bait and switch and not representative of the low quality food we were presented at our wedding. We paid thousands of dollars to Bold American and could have had better food catered for 40% less. Bold American responded to the low quality product by giving us roughly a 15% discount on our expenditure, but we would have gladly paid that 15% to have had presentable, warm, fresh food at our wedding. The service team that they provided were professional and attentive, but could not overcome the food shortcomings. Here is the rundown:

-The appetizers were brutal. Greasy phyllo filled with mystery meat. Clammy spring rolls. Old endive.

-The main courses. A flaming shrimp station which was nothing that it was billed to be. Rather than plump shrimp kebabs with fresh vegetables and sauce, we got overcooked wrinkled bait shrimp, unrecognizable overcooked vegetables, NO SAUCE, served on a bed of plain white rice. Literally, each of our patrons got a miniature three inch kebab with two U50 shrimp on it on a full plate of plain unseasoned, undressed white rice.

-Flank steak. Overcooked, gray, ICE cold, with overcooked unseasoned ICE COLD vegetables. Do not let these people ruin your wedding.
