Schmidt’s Catering

This review is for the catering aspect of Schmidt’s and not their dine in facility.
I planned my wedding at the Ohio Historical Society: Ohio Village, and if you use their facilities for a party, then you must pick a caterer off of their preferred list. At first, I scoffed at Schmidt’s, and marked it off as a «sausage and kraut» house. I mean, who wants that kind of stuff at their wedding?
Well, after a disappointing consultation with one of their other preferred caterers, I decided to give Schmidt’s a shot after taking a look at what they offered on their website.
I am so glad that we decided to go with Schmidt’s! The contract procedure, and getting everything in order went well thanks to Arlene! The only real problem we had was with the linens being pricey, or not being available, and this was like… a week, or two before the wedding, but everything worked out, and we were told by OHS management that our reception was decorated nicer than any previous receptions they had. (Not sure if it was sincere, or not, but it was still nice to hear.)
NOW, to the FOOD!
We ordered basic cold cut sandwiches, traditional potato salad, a cheese and veggie tray, and some bahama mamas (their signature sausage.) Sadly, I couldn’t partake of the bahama mamas due to me being worried of spilling red sauce on my wedding gown.
The food was great, and was just what we wanted. It was nice and simple, and everyone left with a full stomach from our early wedding.
So am I going to recommend Schmidt’s catering?
YES, YES, YEESSSS! They were so helpful on one of the most stressful things a bride has to deal with. They also made it work with our small budget for 50+ people.
I will warn you, I had to deal with a grumpy fiancée about not having cream puffs instead of wedding cake. Choose wisely!
