Hardesty Haven Catering

There is a reason you can’t find reviews for HHC on the wedding websites. When my husband and I first met Dee, she was sweet as pie. Combine that with their rock bottom prices (the cheapest in Calvert County that we’d come across) and we were sold. We ended up booking with HHC over 12 months before our wedding. They told us that they weren’t able to do tastings (weird, right?) and that if we wanted to try something on the menu, we’d have to come to an event where that particular item was on the menu and they would make us a to-go container. Communication from Dee was few and far between; it would take weeks for her to respond. When she finally did, she told us she’d be catering an event at the firehouse, and we could come grab a to-go box. We thought finally we’d be able to try the chicken! We showed up on time and Dee was nowhere to be found. Actually there wasn’t any kind of event going on at all. The next day she brushed it off like no big deal and told us she’d let us know when chicken came back on the menu. I had to follow up regularly because Dee never reached out to us. Long story short, two months before the wedding we hadn’t even tried the chicken (big part of a dinner menu) so I asked again, when we might be able to try it. Dee responded that she was cancelling on us and we were forced to find a new caterer. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because their food (the little we tried) was absolutely disgusting. Their beef was so dry and leathery, and their broccoli was seasoned with something that should NEVER be put on broccoli. I couldn’t even eat it. Aside from that, their “big hit item” is just cheesy potatoes with corn flakes crumbled on top…... but again, they are cheap. Just be prepared to not be able to taste any of their food and possibly be cancelled on two months before your wedding. Beware.

Absolutely delicious home cooked food.. Very good customer service and always willing to work with you.. =)
