Some comments from our customers
Corporate
“Wow! Thank you so much to you and the team for providing great food and great service. Right from the get-go, people were impressed with the buffet lunch. We ended up having enough left over to feed all our volunteers. People were surprised at how good the food was and how much we had. The food played a huge part in their conference experience! Can I also say, your delivery skills were impressive! We were able to run tea time smoothly and lunch smoothly because Sylvia was always there early and saved us so much time setting up. We have requests from our hospitality team to have you guys cater again for our next super visitor event!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
