I had been planning my wedding in Bali for over 9 months and had everything organized apart from locating a suitable caterer.I found by chance over the internet a company called Preferential treatment owned by a Californian man, Christopher naylor.

After having spent numerous hours arranging with chris naylor suitable cuisine and courses for my wedding I finally gave chris the go-ahead to proceed with the booking and forwarded to preferential treatment the sum of 13,300 USD as the deposit payment for the entire wedding catering.The final 30% was to be payable once I arrived in Bali- 4 days prior to the wedding.

After being contacting by chris naylor prior to departing for Bali and having been assured that all had been 100% arranged including all requested menus and drinks, I felt that I could sit-back and relax and enjoy my last 5 days in Bali prior to the big day.

After arriving in Bali I was contacted by chris and forwarded the final 30% payment (5,700 USD) to his account as the final payment for all the catering by Preferential treatment.I was again reassured by him that all was 100%

The night before the big day I was preparing for my stag-do and was feeling a little nervous thinking what my friends had in store for me.I then received a call from chris saying that the police has raided his alcohol storage facility and confiscated all the champagne ordered for my wedding.I asked why this had happend and he said something about "tax evasion"... I then asked him to please change the drink menu if the champagne could not be served to a red wine, merlot.Chris naylor said that he could not because he had spent all allocated funds on the champagne, over 4000 USD and did not have sufficient capital left to purchase more beverages.At this point I asked for a complete refund as I did not feel secure dealing with christopher naylor anymore... he refused and said that he could not give a refund as stated in our contract but out of "good faith" would refund 35%!

At this point I agreed as did not have any other choice....the down side of my situation was that my wedding was totally ruined, it had to be cancelled in fact.My fiancee was distraut , not to mention the fact that I had wasted over 40,000 USD flying all our wedding guests over to Bali including their accomodation expenses.

After having experienced the worst few days of my life I received a mail from christopher naylor apologizing for any inconvenience caused.....

It has already been 3 months from the ordeal now and I have never received any deposit back from preferential treatment and chris naylor.

Please do not do business with this man, he is incompetent and unprofessional and has totally ruined my wedding.

Ive known christopher naylor for over 16 years

AUTHOR: Jason California - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, October 06, 2009

I would like to add some important information to this report.

I have known chris naylor for over 16 years.We both took the same catering and cuisine course together.

He is a great chef and waiter but I have to say that he never had the ability to manage or run his own business.

Preferential treatment is a fine example of this.The idea behind it was great and the business started off fairly successfully- christopher naylor was catering to some big names in Hollywood and slowly getting a good reputation.

However his "extra curriculum activities" had adverse affects on preferential treatment.Chris naylor's love for smoking pot made him lazy and paranoid and finally turned him into a disfunctional mess.

He avoided paying tax bills and would sub-con out important "catering parties" to third parties to avoid the stress of organizing an event himself.

His lust for young handsome men drove him to holiday in places such as mexico and Indonesia where he could afford to solicit underage boys to cater for his increasingly lustful appetites.

He would often leave the states for over 3 months at a time holidaying in these third world countries leaving preferential treatment in the hands of associates that were incapable of managing with a view to sustaining the companie's future.

The last time I met with christopher naylor he was a complete mess- he had just spent over 9 months in Indonesia, was heavily in debt and owed a lot in unpaid taxes.He just wanted to leave the states and get away from his problems but was now in a situation where it was difficult to raise the required finances in order to do so.

Im sad to hear that he has stooped so low as to having to rip people off to survive.He did initially have a lot of potential in his early days but various vices had obviously taken control and shaped his life for the worst.

He is now living with his parents back at home in California and trying to sort his life out.I wish chris naylor the best of luck and hope that he can change his ways.

Christopher Naylor con artist and fraud

Richard.. your ordeal sounds terrible.
I organize conferences here in Bali and have heard of christopher naylor and preferential treatment... he is basically a one-man-band... owns no company based here in Indonesia and does not pay tax, does not surprise me that the police confiscated all his beverages!

An associate of mine had a client ripped-off in a similar way by christopher naylor here....chris and preferential treatment took a deposit from him and then were never to be heard from again.Avoid doing business with this man- he is out for himself and should be reported.

It really gives a bad reputation for all us legitimate business people here.
My advice to the consumer is to fully check out companies and individuals such as chris naylor before doing business with them.

Are you saying that you actually cancelled the wedding because there was no champagne or other preferred alcohol? I mean, the guy sounds like a ripoff for sure. But he was within his rights to refund only the alcohol portion of your payment if that's all he was unable to provide. If you cancelled the wedding, it's on you.
