Testimonials

Dear Maureen,  Well you have done it again!  This past Friday was the third time we have used your catering service for our evening functions and it was fabulous.  I am amazed at the creativity, the promptness of your delivery, and the ease with which you prepare a menu for each function.  From a simple sandwich tray and salads to the more sophisticated hors'deourves, all your food is first class in flavor, presentation and creativity. I am glad we found you & look forward to many years of working together to have the best functions possible for our members.

Dear Maureen,  During the past few years we have had the pleasure of using the services of Gourmet Catering.  We have for many years used your company for our corporate luncheons and Board of Director meetings because of your professionalism and business ethics. As a business owner, you understand the importance of quality & commitment.  For without these, neither you nor I would be in business. Please feel free to use the Kinney Group as a testimonial to your excellent service and superior food.  Keep up the good work!!

Dear Gourmet Catering,  Just a note to thank you for the beautiful spread you put out for our company Christmas Party.  Everyone loved the food, and there was plenty of it.  Got to actually send some home with the single guys (which they loved).  It was definitely "gourmet".  Thanks for helping to make our holiday event a success.

Dear Maureen, Thank you so much for all you did for my wedding.  The food was absolutely fantastic!  The spread you made was beautiful and all the guests raved about how great the food was...especially that chicken salad.  Thank you so much for doing such a beautiful job and adding little touches like the flowers.  You did an amazing job.  I will definitely refer you to others.  Thanks again for helping to make our wedding on a budget beautiful!!

Dear Maureen,  I thank you so very much for the lovely and delicious job you did in catering our two recent cocktail parties.  Almost every thank you note, of which there were many, commented on how good and different the food was. It was a pleasure to work with you. Allow me to express our appreciation to you and your staff on the outstanding effort you gave on our behalf.  We both noticed how hard you worked to please us-and we were pleased indeed. We wish you continued sucess and hope to again have occassion to availe ourselves of your services in the future.

Dear Maureen, I can't tell you how much we all enjoyed the anniversary celebration. Every thing was as effortless as we hoped it would be, and more.  The dinner was not only perfectly prepared, but visually stunning.  You and your staff were at all times congenial and professional in every way.  I've shared with many friends on the West Coast how lucky we were to have engaged a caterer whom we'd never met, communicated with cross-country only by phone and/or email, and scored such a big hit!  If ever we have the opportunity to host another party while visiting Orlando, we'll give you a call and place it in your very capable hands.  Thank you so much for your part in creating such a special evening we'll long treasure

Dear Maureen, Chef & Staff:  I cannot say enough good things about Gourmet Catering.  I have had the pleasure of working with Maureen and her staff on many occasions for more than 7 years.  They have always been professional, courteous, punctual and creative.  Maureen and the  Chef have always met my menu challenges with amazing results.  My guest lists have ranged from over 200 to a small gathering of 35 and they have always raved about the food and its presentation. I trust Maureen and her staff to such an extent that when my husband and I planned our wedding in our home four years ago, even though there were many decisions to be made, we never once thought of using anyone but Gourmet Catering.  And as usual we were delighted with their service.  Maureen helped to make our wedding day a memorable one. My husband and I wish Maureen and her staff success, and look forward to many years of using Gourmet Catering for our events.
