I was at a party recently in Amsterdam and just as i walked in I noticed a buffet stand with pots glittering like WMF pots.My stomach saluted!...LOL
Five hours later,the food was not there and Caterers number was not going through...
Evenually they got the number and she said in one hours time she wold be there.After one hour she refused to pick her call and everyone left there without eating anything and you know some people delibertately do not eat when they are attending parties.
I saw one light skinned babe in evening dress cussing out the celebrants and swearing she would never attend their party again,I side eyed her,them and laughed cos i knew something had gone wrong...
Who has a caterer gone wrong tale?
Please do not call out any caterer in this post...Anyways i swallow the comment if you do.
Lol, I go faint ooooo.
ReplyDeleteAssssss gobe poop
DeleteSeen something close! My friends wedding was the wedding cake! Baker didn't pick call till the morning after the wedding, only for her to say oh she's sorry she thought its d following weekend. Walmart for the rescue that day lol, now we joke abt it but that day it wasn't funny at all!
DeleteWhat? What a disgrace.
DeleteWalmart doesn't sell cakes mumu
DeleteYou just made me remember my pathetic caterer.
DeleteI felt like slapping her head off on my wedding day.I was so upset.
They will collect your money and put you in a state of shock and confusion. She came like an hour late and said there was traffic yada yada yada as if she is a JJC in Lagos.
You will pay them for 20 servers and they will show up with 5,steal half of your food and meat,mstchew.
Another wedding I attended, the caterer said the food poured or she had an accident, can't remember but thank God there was a back up caterer though the food didn't go round.
@Anony Excuse me Walmart doesn't??? Hahahaha....u jst can't b serious right now...next plz.
DeleteI'll go to the baker's house and beat her up
DeleteWalmart sell cakes, go to their bakery section
DeleteAnon 16:42 Walmart sell cakes stop yarning dust
DeleteTheir dessert section is close to the fruit section
Mumu detector how market?
DeleteMsezed, it's different in most Walmart branches. It's all always close to the fruit section. Shalom
DeleteLol walmart sells cakes oo in the bakery section
Delete@whirlwind that's it..always have a backup caterer. Astoria is leading it for me anyday and time. Though expensive, but top notch.
DeleteI had a near bad experience with a caterer last xmas. After ordering and telling her what I would like, and I asked if it was possible to deliver on Xmas day o, she said yes. Na so my mind rest and I go sleep. Only for us to wake up on Xmas day, visitors already arriving, and no sign of this caterer or the food. I went ballistic.
Called and called she didn't answer her phone. I was fidgeting becos I had no other plans as regards food. I had to drive all the way to her house to find out what's up. Only to find her at home, overwhelmed with too many orders, and still cooking for more people like myself. Why take that much order if u cannot deliver?? I was so upset. Her food was quite nice but the disappointment put me off her services.
Amibo, Walmart sells cake
DeleteYes,It is always close to d fruits, and d veggie section.
DeleteOk. The anonymous meant Walmart Aba branch.
DeleteThe anonymous has obviously never crossed the shores of naija. Yet she feels d need to call someone out over something she obviously doesn't know. Yes. She is female.
Deletelol....na to enter the nearest fastfood ooo.....and I just hope say extra cash dey
ReplyDeleteThe caterer for my wedding came when the reception was almost over. Thank God my own family cooked in case of such rubbish. I asked my inlaws to collect the whole food from her because she will just pack everything back to her house
DeleteNa to buy mama put cooler of rice begin serve people o.
ReplyDeleteLol...Mama Seyi rice
DeleteJehovah!
ReplyDeleteAbeg its a dream and a Bad one! I would just wake up!
Well it can't happen to me cus am ann eventplanner and I Du follow ups on all my Vendors
Interesting........Chilling for comments
ReplyDeleteCan this really happen? Ideally phone calls should be made constantly to EVERYONE u have given things to handle, and u still go and check sef to know how far they've gone. Except the caterer wants to punish the bride for whatever reason.
DeleteI reject it in Jesus name....
ReplyDeleteBwhahahahaha...e reach to reject jare

Cnt even imagine it! I go kee sombori
ReplyDeleteHmmm....that caterer is very wicked!..
ReplyDeleteThis cannot happen in Nigeria...infact the celebrant will start calling the caterers a week before to remind her of the event...
Das aw d caterer who catered for my weddin forgot d meat..... she said she assigned someone to bring d meat while she jst came with only fish in her car....by the time pple started troopin in my mum was dead worried...from afar I was wondering y she was wearing a long face. When they sha went to bring d meat na so lastma catch dem for road again but dey sha eventually left dem... I dint know all dis story till after..lol.
ReplyDeleteChai and to think that your name is Anu meaning meat in igbo language
DeleteMeaning Mercy in Yoruba Language
DeleteNot going to be funny o
ReplyDeleteMy cousin married another woman's husband so the real wife paid the caterer to add excessive salt to the food and not to bring plates as well. We used our sovenirs to eat o. But the salt to be here. It was later the truth was revealed
DeleteHahahaha @ excessive salt,people wicked sha...for my wedding, the cooking was done right in our compound, so,no stories...my cake baker also delivered even though we started the trad as early as 7.30 a.m
Delete#sayonara
Lmao @ oil money. Good for your cousin!!
DeleteSee gobe
ReplyDeleteThat's thr worst thing that can happen to anyone.
ReplyDeleteWell if it ever happens, will jejely order for small chops to go round...kikikikikiki
But after the event, the caterer will be serzly dealt with.
Omo, God forbids it happens to me, I will jus burst into tears o.
ReplyDeleteWMF pots have come to stay on this "BV"
ReplyDeleteThis would be interesting. I've only heard of photographer
ReplyDeletePhoto and videographer disappointments are very avoidable.
DeleteJust enlist the services of two or more different people, depending on your pocket.
That of food is bearable, compared to one's photographer disappearing, or his office broken into, after one's wedding.
Lol.
#WhiteDiamondOut
A photographer that worked for my friend's sister's wedding disappeared till now. It's been 5yrs! No trace of him. We even thought he died.

DeleteJust negodu!
#WhiteDiamondOut
This would be interesting, let's the comments roll in. I have never witnessed this. I try to eat before going for a party/wedding to avoid stories.
ReplyDeleteI have non, what is the essence of this,if I can't call out the caterer
ReplyDeleteE no go funny at all oooooo
ReplyDeleteThe wedding i attended last Saturday was hilarious.. D bride nd groom family got different caterers so their guest had to sit differently.. Unfortunately d caterer frm d bride side fucked up.. No plate2serve food there4 no food, meanwhile d groom's side were busy njoying their food..most guest left angrily
ReplyDeleteOh dear dear!! I can only imagine. Ds is a sign already. Like seriously!! Different caterers? One family is looking down on d other..
DeleteLmao
DeleteBut this is totally outrageous!
Hiring different caterers for the job is ok but diving the guests and watching as one part eats while the other part leaves in anger speaks of discord amongst the families.
I wonder how the marriage will cope
Hahahhaha....how funny it would hav been.
DeleteLmao
DeleteOfcOfcos every1 knows its yorubas DAT do DAT.
DeleteNo hate but its true .
There's nothing wrong with hiring different caterers. It's always the best just in case one side runs out of food.
DeleteLmao
ReplyDeleteThat will be a disaster...seriously a huge disaster. That's why its always necessary you get a wedding planner or delegate duties to close friends or family, so they keep tabs on your wedding vendors ( caterer, DJ, camera/video man, MC, hall decor...)to avoid stories that touch...cause its likely you will be too busy to update these people, and you know how they keep accepting business.
Ewu!I saved 250naira to go for one birthday party last week. They were just playing music. Finally, they brought minerals and said that the caterer fell sick. I was so angry because I was hoping to eat well there and also do take away as per I no get money for food. See bad market. Ewu! Ewu! Ewu!
ReplyDeleteMinerals ke? It's been long u heard that. Where u born in the 70s? What happened to *drinks or sodas*? Lmao
DeleteOne can imagine how hungry you guys were b4 bringing the minerals.

ReplyDeleteThis is what is called satanic disgrace
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine, God forbid bad thing mbok.
ReplyDeleteLmao! Stella, photographers are worst. I didn't get to see any picture of my baby's naming ceremony. Thank God for phone! Haaaaa! These people ehn, they can kill joy too much oooo.
ReplyDeletei DO. Mine was my wedding cake. i got to the reception only to be told that my cake has crashed and she brought it to the reception that way. The funniest thing i met the caterer on SDK blog. But what will i do now, nah to thank God say no be me crash on that day.

DeleteYours is even better it crashed, my cousin's cake vendor never showed up, when called she kept saying she was on her way till wedding ended. Shaa she was arrested afterwards...
DeleteLmao...ur cake crashed I can't stop laughing mehn..very funny
Delete@Muah serves you right. When you give bad service you get bad service. I really like karma.
DeleteMogbe, o ti to.....bwhahahahahha
ReplyDeleteAction!!!
One caterer distribute half of the meat to her neighbors and family member, she just came with few meat swimming in a pool of stew...
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahahaha. Very funny. @swimming pool of stew
DeleteRotflmao.
DeleteWahala dey!
#WhiteDiamondOut

DeleteThis is so funny.
Smurf, walahi u b comedian... which one b swimming & pool again? Inside stew?
DeleteHahhhhhhaaaa
DeleteHahahahahhahaha
DeleteU people will not kill me with laughter dis night....swimming pool bawo,,,hahahahaha
DeleteThat caterer that would forget the date of an event is unserious and unprofessional.
ReplyDeleteIt cannot even happen because I called all vendors weeks and days to the wedding so if you do it, though it has happened o, you will be arrested plus you'll return every dime I deposited.
ReplyDeleteSimple. I'll collect every dime.
DeleteAnd u had to inckude the WMF pots ish?
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed
Lol...i will sue every human sueable...
ReplyDeletewell,i'm not sure wat i'll do...I reject it IJN
ReplyDeleteInfact,do I need a caterer wen I hav my mum and fellow ndi nne?...
my baby's child dedication loading ....
I experienced one in a wedding the wedding started by 1pm and everybody was already getting angry they forgot even their wedding programme and even the cake people were nowhere to be seen but finally sha they arrived very late when reception has started
ReplyDeleteI can't forget what my caterer did during my wedding in 2006,she was supposed to be in charge for the traditional and the wedding day,but some how she said she was not not cooking for the wedding again just because my mum caught her and her people with 2 small coolers of meat that they have stashed for themselves,it was a very embarrassing scenario and apparently she couldn't stand the shame,so my sisters and their took over in less than 24hrs and they actually did an excellent job.
ReplyDeleteI recently attended a big wedding with about 7 catering vendors contracted yet food didn't go round. Not because people were too many, but because the caterers decided to hoard food. None of them wanted to be the one whose food finished first, neither did they want their plates and other utensils used by the next caterer. In the end na the mogbo moya people standing outside na in chope all the food.
ReplyDeleteThat day na KFC crispy chicken, chips and ice cream we come go buy at last... I concluded there and then that it's never really about how much money you put into making your wedding day great that matters. It's prayers and God's grace that will determine if things go smoothly or not.
Hian!
DeleteNdi mmadu sef!!
Finally that's true. Though money plays a very important role, while planning for an event, doing it with the right people, matters a lot.
#WhiteDiamondOut
Flakkie I sight u. Yea its by God's grace.
DeleteHehehehe Aku baby! Me I sight you too. Hello from the other side :-)
DeleteHmm,Stella can relate to every story.Anyway,I don't even want to imagine it.Although I've always told myself that I wouldn't let anything get me worked up on my wedding day.Absolutely nothing!! I'll make sure the ushers do their job.Then my friends will also make sure the guests are well taken care of.That's all.You can't please everyone abeg.
ReplyDeleteHow can you bring up a topic like this and say people shouldn't call out names? If I call names finish, abeg block me from your blog. Mtccchhhheeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
DeleteLol...call name o. Stella is trying to protect someone
DeleteI dont know what I will do....na imaginationsha
ReplyDeleteNa shame ohh.. especially in yoruba land...Haaa na serious trouble oh
ReplyDeleteI dont even wanna think whst will happen ooo.
ReplyDeleteAtttended a wedding in ph. Caterer didn't show ip till 5pm. I felt for the bride dat day. N it was a big wedding . The had to substitute food with snacks and drinks. By the time caterer showed up, hall was empty.
ReplyDeleteThe caterer must finish the food in my presence o
DeleteHahaha...same thing happened to me during my traditional marriage. The caterer we contracted was nowhere to be seen, dis was about 10am and we agreed on 7am. I almost fainted, they kept deceiving me that she was around and she only went to buy something.God so kind her house is not so far from ours, a kind woman decided to take me to her house. Na so we waka reach there only for us to knock on her door and she stylishly came out and asked us "wetin happen" my people she was still sleeping! She hurriedly checked her watch and shouted "Mogbe" by dis tell ehn all my body Don dey shake oo. But at the end everything was successful. Some caterers are evil.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen such.
ReplyDeleteYeeepa!!!! Nah serz gobe be dis ooo. Gps nearest mama put joint. no time to check time
ReplyDeleteGod forbid evil, not my portion. How will a caterer forget such, abeg that person wicked haba. Can't even imagine the scenario.
ReplyDeleteOMG!Can't even imagine it.
ReplyDeleteStella you and this your WMP pots sef. Hian
ReplyDeleteWill seat and read comments
ReplyDelete*sit*
ReplyDeleteHappened to me at my wedding. The caterer came with so few plates for over a thousand guest. Nah so i dey boil for were i siddon. After wedding them dey give me two cooler of rice without meat. Abeg tell me wetin i wan use am do.
ReplyDeleteA similar thing happened to me on my wedding day, the owanbe musician, that my mum contracted failed to show up. He claimed that he thought my wedding was the next weekend, even after being reminded severally by my planner.
ReplyDeleteThe funniest part was that my mum made such a big fuss about us paying for DJ to also come on the wedding day...she reported me to family members, that my hubby n I are wasting money cos the musician was the best ever and that we just didn't appreciate her effort despite all the millions she had spent .
Thank God we didn't listen to her n got the DJ despite everything, cos he did a fantastic job....my wedding would have been without any music.
My mum was so upset, she took police to arrest the musician on Monday...so many pple including me n my hubby had to beg her for days before she let him go.
Now anytime she remembers she follows us to thank God that there was a DJ cos she says her friends would have laughed at her otherwise.
The caterers on the other hand were 2 (one for local food like amala on d spot, pepper soup,ofada rice n things like dat n d other was for Chinese, small chops n other oyibo food) were both fantastic and Tulips my cake lady was wonderful...her cake was the highlight of the whole wedding. It was gigantic with crystal chandeliers n plenty bling bling..sigh! I wish I could get married all over again...lol
Ndi egbe onu. .. akuko a bu onye dere ya?
DeleteLol@ndi egbe onu(liars abi braggart) But you believed people that their cakes crashed abi?
DeleteLol
Amy George. ..owee gi iwe isi n'ike taa aru!
DeleteUsu michasia gi onu
Anony, nya imacha atari igbo etua lol, nne biko mee ebere na akuko gi a, too much unnecessary details. Amy George kwulu eziokwu biko o.
DeleteOmg Tulip is amazing , bukky is a fantastic baker , she never fails to deliver . Had the opportunity of training with her , her cakes are exceptional . She is simply the best out there
DeleteHaaaaa. I don't want to imagine it. Photographers are the worst. They'd tell you that your pictures got burnt..like were the cooking it? I nearly cried. Lolzzz
ReplyDeleteI havent had such experience before,I followed my caterer bumper to bumper,i was always calling her like person till a day to my wedding o,even backed it up with prayer sef.lol
ReplyDeleteMine was my cake baker. My family friend o! My reception started 2hours after the scheduled time. Twas embarassing. As if that wasn't enough, the cake was unattractive. Totally different from what I told her to do. People harass me tire that day. Her dad almost beat her up if not for intervention.
DeleteMy wedding went excellent surprisingly so because I'm a 1man mopol an all my family are abroad so I planned it all myself with my phone and NAIRALAND yes, I said it nairaland!
ReplyDeleteCake,food,decor,djay every single thing I dnt leave my house except to fit my clothe my sis abroad thot I was crazy and they are all scammers. Dearies they all showed up it was perfect no glitch I was vvery happy, maybe I was just lucky.
Wow!
DeleteNice one
Abeg can't jt imagine it
ReplyDeleteNa heavy gobe e go be ooo
ReplyDeleteYou get what you pay for. If you hire a yeye caterer, you will get yeye service. if you pay yeye money, you will get yeye service.
ReplyDeleteAlways ask for references before hiring anyone for a wedding to avoid stories that touch. If someone has a reputation of getting to the reception late or cutting corners, chances are they will do the same with you.
I will wake up cos it must definitely be a dream. Stellz dear biko when is d next episode of S&M? Boredom wan finish me for here.
ReplyDeleteI wud rather not think abt it
ReplyDeleteoh Dear!
ReplyDeleteWhat I will do?
hmmmmm
I won't do anything because I know say the caterer that will cater for my wedding no fit try am!
"The beauty of any wedding is in the jollof rice"
I havent had such experience before,I followed my caterer bumper to bumper,i was always calling her like person till a day to my wedding o,even backed it up with prayer sef.lol
ReplyDeleteAs I be d only girl in my family,I will call my four brothers and they will assemble in d hall,after taking off my wedding gown,we re heading straight to her shop/house then we will beat her prupruprapra she will see herself by herself.
ReplyDeleteI almost dropped to the floor laughing
DeleteHahhhhaaaaaa
DeleteHahahaha....@prupruprapra.I don die for here.
DeleteHahaha lol @ after taking off ur wedding gown. You r funny
DeleteI'll just drop the phone calmly. And walk into any eatery I see and start shooting in the air (I will get a gun of course) and cart away all their food loool. It won't be enough but the guests will manage hahhhaaa
ReplyDeleteewooo shoot in the air?? maka why? food...haba talo onje bee
DeleteYou obviously like action filmd
DeleteYou don't wanna know....all these so called caterers charging based on area of contracting client. Stupid caterer said food was finished by 3pm when we had just arrived from Church after being paid for 1k guests meal. Swallow name only 20 with some village people looking forward to having swallow....Luckily, we had other couple of smaller caterers. And decorator, total disaster. Sent her pictures to give ideas only for her to turn up with nasty couple's sofa and I had to ask for the chiffon to cover her stupidity...aisle runner was so dirty and disgusting after paying so much but luckily photographers cleaned them out in pictures....a day I wished I didn't have to go through. And videographer took almost a year to deliver his job after so much hype. As much as I would love to recommend him, that single act is a turn off.
ReplyDeleteI heard of a bride who paid her friend ( a bride's maid) to bake her wedding cake. Only for the lady to call on the wedding day to say she did not have transport fare from Abuja to Lagos, hence, cannot make the wedding... After receiving payment for the cake, way before the wedding .
ReplyDeletePs, she absconded to Abuja two weeks to the D-date and kept feeding the bride lies.
I had my child's dedication on Sunday. Informed the caterer, that mass will end by 11 am and reception follows immediately at our residence. We agreed she came an hour earlier. Babe did not pick calls but eventually arrived by 1:30 pm, keeping my guest hungry. I was really embarrassed and angry at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAfterwards, everyone forgot about the delay and moved on. Thank God for the success, eventually
