Avoid this caterer at all cost! Poor professionalism in the extreme, and weak food. They nearly sabotaged my wedding, and the only reason they didn't is because I found another caterer in time. The food is mediocre at best, but a lot of their stuff just tastes really bad. I think they use a lot of frozen items. My fiance (now husband) and I were referred there under the impression that we'd save money with them. Business-wise, things went smoothly until Teri Leiter herself decided to take over our event. This is truly a person who has no business running a catering company, and I'm shocked they've stayed in business this long under such poor entrepreneurship. She was flaky and inattentive. When I sent her an email of our budget, instead of working with me and making suggestions, she waited a month to respond to our attempts at contacting her, only to tell us she wouldn't cater our wedding unless we spent more money. Caterers have minimums, I understand, but it's clear that she was trying to back us into a corner so we'd have no choice but to pay her, given that she waited until a month before our wedding to impart such vital information, and most other companies need more notice than one month. Fortunately, we weren't stuck with them and were able to find a wonderful caterer with organic delicious food for much less money - The Savory Spoon Catering Company in Frederick, MD. I gave Savory Spoon our budget and within 24 hours they came up with a lovely menu for us that fit our budget. I learned you don't have to settle for substandard just because you have a budget, and believe me, Leiter's so-called "fine" catering is definitely substandard.
