Gloria
Wedding Reception for 250 Guests
“We want to thank you and your staff for the wonderful service and delicious food we received for our picnic. Everything was perfect. We received nothing but complements from our employees. There were very impressed with your organization and promptness, and several asked that we continue to use your service instead of the others we had used in the past. They love your food.”
Judy
Company Picnic for 400 Employees
“Just a short note to say “Thanks” for a splendid job on Saturday night! It was a pleasure to work with all of you. The party was by far the most relaxing one we’ve given – you all made it so easy. I could go on and on about the presentation (outstanding), your professionalism (top-notch), and the quality (A++), but I will suffice it to say that it was FUN and hope you realize that is the greatest complement of all.”
