I have received both a call and email confirmation. Maybe u shld call and check.
Their service is not bad from my previous experience in corporate catering....provided you go past their hard sell tactics for weddings.
I went for their wedding workshop and found their food so-so and not to my interest as most of it were the premium stuff while we were only interested in the normal buffet items for church reception.
I know their food standard is not too bad as my previous company used them quite often. HOwever, their pacakge is not as attractive as some other companies.
During the workshop, I was chatting with the manager and was keen to further discuss after he realise that I know quite a lot about their food catering due to my previous company that I worked in and the chruch that I'm from. He directed me to one of his more able assistants for her to explain more about the packages.
However, that lady tried hard selling to me and I wasn't impressed. I told her I need to consider more and didn't want to put down a deposit on the spot. She asked me what I was hesitant about and I told her about other attractive packages from the rival comapanies and she tried to dig out further information about which company I was talking about. When she finally found out which company I was referring to, she immediately slammed and criticised the company very badly. That really left a sour taste in mouth, esp since we already mentioned that we did not fulfil what we wanted to do in the 1st place-that was to sample the food that we will have at the wedding, not the premium items. She became so defensive and her tone was almost like an argument and that was when 2 of us decided not to make our decision that day but consider more. Then she went on the be slightly sarcastic by saying you get to save a few hundred dollars with the discount of signing up today. I said I wasn't interested and she continued to say wah...you know that few hundred dollars can get you a nice tea dress which some others cannot afford and I told her I wasn't interested and we left.
That hard sell tactic aside, I thought it wasn't very professional of her to slam and criticize her rival companies in the manner she did.
Maybe some of you will have a better experience in negotiating a good package with them =)

Not sure what her name is but can still remember how she looks like.
The food at the workshop were mostly premium stuff. Yes there were food like noodles, chiciken wings but the majority were premium like scallops, shepard's pie, carving station....they even had a fondue corner.
I got to taste the premium items and when we asked her about the normal items, she said it was unfortunate that they cannot cater to eveyone's needs and the workshop was to showcase how they are adept at the different cuisines, which are not part of the standard items.
So the wedding workshop is not the place to taste their standard buffet line, it is to showcase all the premium items.

Ehh...Guess my experience v different. E**** if we talking abt the same person did v gd follow up. And her colleague even went to hunt for a venue for me when I loss mine. Then when confirm not using them, they ok leh...they must have followed up on me at least 10 or more time..hehhe.
I just attended my fren's church wedding where they had Rasel for a premium tea reception. If i'm not wrong, they had the $28/pax package where there were premium food items, carving station with glass and crockery for all guest.
The food was good and layout was ok. However, the staff were unable to cope with the crowd. There was 2 food buffet line but only 1 queue per food point. This made the queue for the food quite long. Most caterers I know would have 2 queues for 1 line...this would ensure a faster flow and shorter queues.
Then the staff could not handle the number of guest "attacking" the food. Plates, forks and spoons were not replenished till some time later. Food also ran out and was only replenished when most of the guests had given up trying to get more food to eat.
There were cocktail tables for guest to stand and eat but the tables ended up being used as plate stacking table as we did not know where to leave the plates after finishing our food.
Overall quite messy in terms of logistics as the caterer seemed to be unable to cope with all the plates and topping up of food.
Food wise, it was tasty and delicious. If you're keen on using them, just have to check with them on the small things like topping up of food and and number of queues for the various food points.

Sometime it could be due to server problem. Maybe you can try calling them. I liaise with Elsie. I have detail for food & wedding favours. The rest not firm yet. Infact for food i have not decide which to take. Going for their workshop on Sunday to select my dishes. Are you going?
