Levan's Catering

What a disaster Levan's made my reception. Where shall I start? How about the o'devours hour not starting on time and the staff not offering my husband and I anything when it was finally ready? We had our wedding at Leu Gardens and you cannot start anything before 5:00 pm. I asked Duane if we could start the o'devours at 4:30. He assured me they did it many times. I repeatly confirmed this with him and did so right before ordering my invitations. BIG MISTAKE. I should have not went behind Leu's back and had everything start at 5:00 like it said in my contract. They noticed it and would not let them heat anything up until 5:00. My poor guest were sitting there hungry and wondering where the food was. It was so embarassing and I felt so bad for them. When the food finally came out, it tasted completely different than the tasting- it was overcooked, greasy and a different flavor. I had 100 chocolate favors and only 59 guest. My father noticed the staff gathering them before the end of the night. He didn't get one so he went in the back and asked a staff member for one. She said she they were all gone. He looked at her OPENED purse and saw TONS of MY favors inside them!!! So he pointed to them and she rolled her eyes and gave him one. The staff STOLE my favors!! I was so upset. We only had 59 guest where did the rest go? Hmm! 200 of my butterfly flower pieces were never found either. They were expensive. I ordered them from England! The room was a mess and all wrong. I had to point out that my butterfly lights were not lite, there were no candles or confetti around my cake, there were no flower arrangements on the bridal table or confetti. I couldn't relax and was heartbroken when I walked in the room. They left my cake topper at the office too and I didn't even get it for a month! It was stale and we had to throw it out. The staff was so rude too. I kept asking them if my husband and I could get some food. We never even tasted some of the o'devours! It was like pulling teeth to just get a drink. Talk about unrelaxing. I just gave up because the worker was so rude to me when I asked for anything.My cake set was ruined- it has dents all over it because it was carelessly thrown around. I was digusted when I went to pack it away- it was COVERED in old, dirty cake! I had a staff worker tell me he cleaned it and put it away for me that night. I was so devasted and SHOCKED at the service we recieved. I felt very confident in Levan's before this. My whole reception was ruined and I spent many sleepless night crying and thinking about how the staff stole my favors and my family NEVER got one. Of course I told Duane about this and he said it was most likely one of their temp workers they had. I wish I would have known they were going to have those there. They're not going to care and they were probably the ones that stole my butterflies and favors. In the end, I learned that Levan's talks the talk but CANNOT walk the walk. My day was completely ruined because of this. They TRIED to blame it on the other vendors but I spoke to them individually and got conflicting stories. I just wanted the darn night to end and was miserable. I hate looking back on the pictures because it reminds me of all the things that went wrong. I'm writing this review because I cannot go back in time and redo everything. So hopefully I can save a future bride from heartache. I don't want to see this happen to anyone. I too read all the great reviews and thought I made the right decision. Boy was I wrong.

Levan's is by far the best catering company in Orlando. Every member of their staff that we came into contact with was wonderful. They took care of us from start to finish. The food was wonderful and I still have people saying how great it was.

Levan's knows exactly how to take care of their clients. They are very flexible with their meeting times and go above and beyond with the services they provide, and who can forget the great food, too!

They did an AMAZING job at our wedding! Not only was the food even better than expected (and we were expecting the best!), but the service and setup was better than I ever imagined! People were amazed with the food at our wedding, and they were a *much* lower price than all the other caterers we went to. They had a fabulous choice in menu selection. it was difficult to choose out of all the wonderful things they had to sample! Highly recommended!

Greg and Duane and the entire LeVan's family are without a doubt the BEST caterers in Orlando (and anywhere else)! They were the only caterers to say "yes" back in 1992 for CENTAUR's very first Red Ribbon Ball and remained the only caterers of that event for the next 11 years. Gary and I recommend them to all of our friends and co-workers and anyone else in need of catering services. They are THE BEST!!!

Levan's did an incredible job at our wedding. Duane is great and their superb professionalism was evident throughout the whole reception. We were initially worried because it rained the day of our wedding, but every nerve was put at ease when we showed up and realized Levan's didn't skip a beat and our guests didn't even realize the reception was supposed to partially be outdoors. Levan's were very attentive to our personal needs throughout the reception and I couldn't have asked for more in a caterer.

The food was awesome and the service was over and above what we expected. EVERYONE at our wedding loved the food and service and we had a very diverse crowd, which are very hard to please when it comes to food. My wife and I were treated like Royalty all night and everything they promised us, they delivered on and then some!!! Number One Hands Down!!
