Bill,
Man, I have no words. You and your team are such a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much for all that you do. You make my job so much easier, and you don’t know how much that means to me. I never have to worry about food, drink or service when you are involved. Heaven knows I have enough to worry about, so thank you for being so amazing and taking those worries away.
Hope the rest of the summer goes well, and I hope to see you sooner rather than later.
All my best,
Michael S

Hi Bill,
Wow, thank you so much for your exceptional help last night. Given the glitch with the band and some timing complexities with getting the food out, your extra can do attitude and expertise made an enormous difference. The drinks were great!
With much appreciation,

Bill,
...Just know that you’ve had a large impact on me! You’ve given me tons of experience, even if I don’t use it much here; I’ll always have it and greatly appreciate it.
From starting with passing hors d’oeuvres to moving me up to bartending. I’ve had some of the best times of my life working with you and all the boys.
I appreciate all that you’ve done to help me in the past few years and I hope to see you soon...

Bill,
What a lovely job. You went way beyond what was contracted, and everything was just right. Tasted wonderful, looked beautiful, you guys had a relaxed agreeable manner that was a valuable asset. I gave a couple of askers your name, and hope to collect a few more inquiries in the next few days..... if I had to go in way over my head, couldn't have been with steadier or more gifted partners.
Thanks,

Bill, this is the first minute I’ve had free since pick-up on Friday…
THANK YOU for a gorgeous event. The weather certainly worked in our favor, but the food was delicious, you guys were so helpful and friendly and on top of it. I really liked how you directed the party, kept it on time, running smoothly, offered the drinks, took the purses (and phones, so key). Loved the improvised chai tea. I wasn’t stressed at all, and that made it so worth it. It was easy and beautiful. Not a thing troublesome or out of place. I’ve received so many notes from around town of what a lovely day it was.
Thank you thank you!

Dear Bill,
Thanks to you and your staff for a fine presentation last Sunday brunch. I was particularly pleased that you remained throughout the entire event. We have since heard from several of the participants all of whom have expressed their delight with both the food and service you provided.
Looking forward to working with you in the future.
Sincerely,
Aaron and Bruce

Bill,
I am speechless. You and your team have completely revised my understanding of what a great caterer does. You made that party such mad fun, and did so much more than I expected and all of it utterly perfectly; I really don’t know how to thank you. People could NOT shut up about how great the food was, but it was way beyond that. We could not possibly be happier or more grateful. The guests of honor were still glowing and posting on FB about what a great evening it was. If I knew how to use emojis I’d post about ten smilers here.
Truly,
Beth and Robin

Dear Bill,
Please accept our sincerest thanks for helping to make Sunday such a "perfect" afternoon. The set up, the service, the arrangement, the clean up - from start to finish all spot on. You made it all look easy, which of course is the mark of a true pro at work. You and Andrew made us feel absolutely taken care of.

Dear Bill,
A huge thank you for the amazing birthday! I had so much fun and truly enjoyed sitting around at my own house. I can honestly say I have never done that. You made everything look so beautiful and the food was fantastic. I loved the lobster rolls! It was the main thing I wanted to have on my birthday and they were amazing. I loved the evening so much and so did everyone else. Many thanks to you and Carol. I am so grateful.
