Dear Ms. Keeler:
Thank you for allowing us to book your dining facility for the rehearsal dinner on May 15, 2015. The room was the perfect size to accommodate our guests. And your hotel is attractive and clean. All of the staff were helpful and very polite. Kevin was a tremendous help in your absence.
Your facility was recommended by Gary and Carol Shepherd, the owners of Carefree Catering. I might add for your information that they are great caterers for a variety of reasons:
1. The flexibility. Working together, we easily created a menu to complement the evening's "Caribbean" theme, including the groom's favorite cake. In fact, food selections were added to the menu at their own expense. Also, they strived to give us what we wanted within our financial budget. And, we were outside the original time frame that we provided for food and champagne service; they were unruffled.
2. The presentation. The large island in your conference room/kitchen was perfect for the buffet service we wanted. The caterers dress the island and presented the buffet in an appealing manner.
3. The service. The owners and two waitstaff (we had a full-service bar) where are the absolute best – effortlessly serving all the guests without showing any pressure. All were courteous and friendly.
4. The food. Each item served was delicious and plentiful.
5.The extras. I'm sure I can't recall them all. We needed a centerpiece for the sweetheart table. Without hesitation, Carol said she could do that. Not only did she provide a beautiful centerpiece, she incorporated the wedding colors. Drink dispensers were provided to accommodate our wishes. Cleanup was spotless. We didn't lift a finger.
Again, thank you for your role in this special day. You and Carefree Catering make a great team!!
Sincerely,
Sandy Lynch
