Testimonials
“Thank you so much for all of your help the night of the wedding.
You truly made our dream wedding a reality. Barbara was
amazing with all of the details in planning and as usual the
food was amazing! We can thank you enough for our “to-go”
meal. Such a nice touch! We devoured it after we got to the
hotel, starved from dancing all night! Thanks again!“

number of comments from attendees
all positive -- regarding the quality
of the dinner and overall experience.
One attendee made a specific
point to tell us “The beef was
the best I have had so far
in my entire life!”
