Merrimakers catered our wedding in September of 2021. We were not able to do a tasting before our event, which we were a bit nervous about, but we were absolutely blown away by the food – it was INCREDIBLE. Most of our guests commented on how good the food was. Even the cocktail hour was amazing – we were tied up with photos but we had a plate with a sample of everything on a plate waiting for us so we wouldn’t miss out on the amazing food.Our coordinator and maître d the night of our wedding was Patty – we were SO lucky to have her. She had excellent communication leading up the wedding and made sure everything was exactly the way we imagined it. I don’t even know how she kept everything running so smoothly but we did not have to worry about a single thing that night – she was on top of everything and made sure we were truly able to enjoy the evening. Thank you so much Patty, you are incredible!!The entire staff of Merrimakers that we worked with were extremely friendly and professional. If you are considering Merrimakers for catering your event, we highly recommend them! Not only do they help with the table/chair rentals, linens and basic decoration setup, but the food and staff are top notch.

When we arrived at the venue, we had to find the chef ourselves to determine which foods to avoid. It’s important to note that cross-contamination can occur not only from the allergens themselves but also from shared equipment or facilities. For example, tree nuts might be processed on the same machinery as peanuts, and sesame oils can easily become contaminated with peanut products. I asked Laura if there was a menu available that listed ingredients or allergens. Instead of understanding my request, she mistakenly thought I wanted to see the bride’s family contract—not what I was interested in at all. My only concern was ensuring my daughter’s safety and preventing a potentially life-threatening incident. After returning home, I texted Laura to express my frustration about not receiving any follow-up and having to seek out information from the chef. She called me back and responded in a very unpleasant tone, claiming she never promised to get back to us and that I had no right to see the contract or menu details. When I reminded her that she had asked for my email address under the premise of providing menu information, she simply raised her voice instead of addressing my concern. I found her behavior unprofessional and frustrating. My daughter has attended numerous catered events without encountering such poor service. I’m honestly shocked that The Ashford Estate would partner with a caterer that lacks professionalism and knowledge about food allergies. It's crucial for any caterer to be prepared with allergy information, as many people have dietary restrictions. Laura needs to improve her understanding of customer service and professionalism if she wishes to remain in a public-facing role in this industry. Perhaps one day, if she were to have a child or grandchild with severe food allergies, she might see things differently.
