Felt like I was taken advantage of by Charles.
I hired the caterer for a Celebration of Life. For those that have ever planned one, it's hard to know the guest count, so a plated food option wasn't really going to work.
I talked to Charles about a Coffee Bar and some pastries for the room. We agreed on a list of items that would be included and a price. I also advised Charles that we had the room from 1-5 pm, 1-2 was to be for his setup, 2-4 for the Celebration, and then 4-5 was for cleanup.
I arrived at 1 pm. Charles was there...but he wouldn't bring any of the food into the room until closer to 2 pm. By the time 2 pm rolled around, he was bringing in small quantities of what seemed like store-purchased cookies and cans of Coke. Since I was too busy greeting the guests for the Celebration, the last thing I wanted to deal with was catering issues. This continued throughout the event. Small amounts were being brought in, as he could get into the room, which was now standing room only.
When I called him the next day, he complained that I had too many people. My contract was for 75 or 80, (originally he quoted 100 people). The guest book showed 80 guests. It was standing room only, but he knew that going in, which is why he had an hour to set up the food, which he didn't do.
He didn't really follow the menu choices on my list, didn't provide the products we contracted for (Coffee bar was an urn), and then refused to provide me with credit. I paid in full, upfront. $1,000 for about a case of coke products and some boxed cookies. He stated that he had lots of leftovers, but they weren't offered to me. I would suggest finding a different caterer. One that stands by his products and delivers what he says. These are special days and catering plays a big part. This was a failure by Charles

Char Don catered my dad's funeral reception and I can't say enough good things about them and their food. Charles and Kia were extremely empathetic (while maintaining their professionalism) at such an emotional time. I called them in a panic after several calls to other caterers left me feeling confused and just generally stressed out about the entire process. They handled everything for us, including silverware, plates, napkins, and even a couple of sides. The food was delivered to the church hot and people raved about everything. Thank you all SO MUCH for helping make such an incredibly sad and difficult time easier for me and my family. I'm forever grateful for these wonderful people at Char Don! More...

CharDon recently catered our company bar-b-que. Charles was able to help put together a menu that not only was amazingly delicious but also offered a variety of options for several tastes. Not only was Charles great to work with, his staff were wonderful, courteous and added to making our annual bar-b-que a success. I have had several employees, comment on how great the food and event was. Thank you Charles and your staff for giving us a wonderful event where all we had to do was have fun. We will definitely be using you again. More...

Char Don catered a dinner at our company and were amazing! They worked with our budget, showed up early, and when I told Charles that the dinner time had been changed moments before they showed up. Charles and crew hustled to make sure the dinner was right on schedule. I will definitely be using them again and recommending them to all of my hall clients. More...
