I am writing this to inform fellow brides what I wished I had known. Do not work with Kate Clyde’s.At first it started great, Kate Clyde’s was good with communication and worked with us with what we wanted. When I first started calling caterers to get quotes I was very clear I wanted a plated dinner and my venue did not have a full kitchen. Kate Clyde’s informed me that they had worked at my venue before and were able to provide a delicious dinner without a full kitchen.We agreed to do a food tasting and were impressed by the food and staff so we paid the deposit that night.Our experience plummeted from there.Kate Clyde’s stopped communication after receiving the deposit. I tried to relax but after weeks of unanswered emails I sent an email if I should find another caterer. Misty the event manager told me all her emails were going to my junk email. That was a lie. I am very type A and check my junk email and received none. Anyways, I was reassured it would be fine and then was sent an invoice $14,000 dollars over what we initially agreed. I quickly called Misty to figure out what had happened and without her checking she basically told me that it was correct and I should pay it. I spent my entire afternoon going through the invoice and found that she tried to charge me $850 per napkin instead of .85 cents. You would think they would double check their invoices before they went out.The food was so good at the tasting and at this point it was so late in the game that after I pointed out where she went wrong I paid the updated invoice. Then again months went on with no communication.Fast forward to two weeks before the wedding. As any bride knows that’s when most payments are due. I tried to be on top of all payments so I sent in the numbers to food items and emailed a couple of questions. Again, no answer. I emailed a couple of times for no response. Three days before the wedding, I got multiple frantic calls from Misty asking questions that could have been answered months ago. It’s as if she knew nothing that we had discussed. I also asked multiple times about the staff that would be present at the wedding and she reassured me two bartenders would be there.The wedding day…what an absolute disaster…I am completely mortified about what went on and what my guests were served. First of all, only one bartender was present the first half of the wedding- even though I was contracted for two. I was also promised two people to set up my tables who were “extremely detailed oriented” not the case at all. The place settings were all over the place and couples weren’t even seated together. The food was completely INEDIBLE. My sister had to demand the stopped serving one appetizer before guests got sick!! I could cry even thinking this happened. Multiple guests spit out their food and quoted or smelt “rancid.” My son, who eats anything, spit out the mac and cheese bites because they were cold and “gooey”. They tried to serve a shrimp appetizer that was fishy and inedible. A bridesmaid spit it out into a Lysol wipe. The dinner was just as bad. The first thing I said to my new husband was “is you food cold?” My beef tenderloin was cold! The brides food was inedible. The salmon was over cooked and dry. Not to mention I was told there would be ten servers for twelve tables. It took over forty minutes for food to get out. I could go on for days. It was awful. Worst experience. Brides beware.One more thing, we later found out that vendors had gone out and gotten their own dinners because they’ve worked with Kate Clyde’s before and knew the food was awful

Such a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Love the old buildings repurposed. Attended a wedding there. They did an excellent job in making it a beautiful occasion. A jewel in Marshville, no doubt! Thanks to all!

Kate Clyde recently catered a baby shower I hosted and the food was exceptional and so was the service. Her staff went above and beyond. They also have a beautiful setup for their events. Can’t say enough good things about the food and service!!!

Kate Clyde's flawlessly catered our wedding event, and we had nothing but glowing comments from our guests on the meal quality. The wait staff was exceptionally helpful and attended to guest needs promptly. Our meal featured Grilled Whole BeefTenderloin with Cranberry Horseradish, Bourbon Glazed Grilled Chicken, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Mixed Roasted Vegetables, the House Salad. The appetizers we selected were the Pimiento Cheese and Crackers, Lemon-Basil Chicken Salad in Phyllo Cups, and Caprese Skewers. We would choose all these items again, and they were perfectly prepared with just the right seasonings. Way to go Kate Clyde's team...you have served us so well in our two daughters' weddings, and we are so grateful.

We had our Brooks Sales Christmas party in the Camellia room. Everything was decorated beautifully for Christmas. The food was excellent and the staff couldn’t have been better. I would definitely recommend. We will be back next year! Thank you!

Very pretty atmosphere. Perfect for tea, reception and nice dinner out for couples. Lunch is a little pricey. No children's portions or menu.
