We had a beautiful reception catered by Rafati's at Tiffany Center. We rented the Crystal room, which is such an elegant ballroom. Our experience from the time we booked our venue was nothing but friendly and professional. At one point we were invited to join 17 other couples for a tasting of our menu selections. It was really a nice party and we were able to discuss so many things with other brides and grooms. The food was very good and I have to say it gave us a taste of what we could expect. I know the others really liked that experience too. We have had nothing but compliments from our family and friends on how good the food was, how pretty everything looked and how smoothly run it was. As the bride, I really enjoyed myself and am happy to share our experience. These people know what they are doing and it shows.
Pros: Knowledgeable, great food, friendly and helpful

If i could go back to a few months before my wedding, i would not have had my wedding reception at a place that required me to use Rafati's Catering. I would have rather served cold finger sandwiches than deal with Georgia again. Georgia was reluctant to meet with us, it seemed she didn't have time. She had other clients and could therefore not set a side time for us. Once she finally did set aside time, she was late. When she got there she sat down and just said "So what questions did you have?" I expected her to sit down and go over all of the aspects of the day and find out what kind of a wedding reception i wanted and what my budget was. She was also late to our tasting. Two weeks before the big day, she emailed to tell me that one of the set up charges would be double what I was told previously. When i wrote back and told her that i could not fit that change into my budget, she said "it wasn't her fault the price changed" blamming it on the hotel. I spoke to the hotel and they adjusted the price back to the original price. I finally stopped talking to her after her attempt to raise prices on me. I then worked directly with the hotel. I NEVER received a signed contract. As a bride this scared me. She could just not show up and i would be stuck, or change the price again! The "creamy" chicken marsala, was served as regular dark marsala sauce even though I continuously pointed out that I needed to be. Careful with the corking fee if you supply your own wine...they will charge you for all you bring, not what they actually cork. To top of the evening, one of their employees stole my dj's iPod. But of course THEY aren't responsible for that. I was never treated with respect, I was just an annoying bride (a one time customer). The food wasn't any better than a regular family restuarant. But the prices were plenty high (esp. with the 20% service fee on EVERYTHING). PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY!
Pros: The did show up with the food
Cons: GEORGIA!! Prices.
