Review of Merri-Makers Catering & Specia...

Dealing with Merri Makers was a complete nightmare...

Dealing with Merri Makers was a complete nightmare. Unfortunately, we were forced to use them because of the location we chose (Bonnet Island Estate).
Let me start with the owners, Rick and Cindy Bott. I have never witnessed such unprofessionalism from business owners in my life. My husband and I ordered the platinum menu along with five other stations. However, this still was not enough for them. They squeezed us for every nickel and dime they could get out of us. The worst of it all: THEY DO NOT FOLLOW THEIR OWN CONTRACT. My husband is a lawyer, he reads contracts every day for a living. Any ambiguity in a contract goes against the drafter. This made a difference of a little over $300. After all of the money we had already given them, he (Rick Bott) aggressively argued with us over this error in his contract. OWNER, RICK BOTT, THREATENED TO CANCEL MERRI MAKERS' SERVICES TWELVE DAYS BEFORE OUR WEDDING. Because we were exploited by this threat, we were forced to pay it.
I highly recommend staying as far away from Merri Makers as possible. Rick and Cindy Bott clearly don't play by the rules. They will take as much money as they possibly can from you. Save yourself the stress and aggravation and go elsewhere.
