Pam,
We had rave reviews about the food from last night! Everyone was highly impressed and really enjoyed it, I made sure I told everyone that it was by Catering Works.
Also, the guys that came and set everything up and kept the food filled were amazing! Pleasant, professional, and helpful.
I can not say enough good things about the food and service. Y'all were so accommodating and helpful (especially with the last minute vegetarian addition), I can not thank you enough!

First, let me start by saying King did an absolutely fabulous job both days. He’s very kind and considerate and very professional. We really like it when he takes care of us. Today, wow, what an experience. King barely got food on the tables…nothing even unwrapped and the drinks were still in the van, when the meeting broke 20 minutes early for lunch. They didn’t tell me it was happening, no notification, nothing…. King just rolled with it. 50 rather tall men just came pouring out of the meeting room into the tiny food vestibule we have and King, myself and the receptionist were in there pulling plastic wrap off of the food! King didn’t crack under pressure… he handled things really, really well. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated his “calm in the storm” today. He was simply fabulous! Please thank him again for me.

I just wanted to send a quick note to thank you for working with the Rotary Club of Crabtree over the past year because the food and service were consistently superb.  I will be looking for opportunities to call you for future events.
Thanks again,

EW,
Everything went more than well, everything was fantastic! It is amazing and reaffirming to reflect on our pleasurable process of planning a wedding with Catering Works. While we have worked together for years, Catering Works never ceases to amaze me! We met twice, e-mailed a couple of times and the result was: a beautiful venue, gorgeous flowers, scrumptious food, professional servers and service, entertaining music with impeccable timing, a delicious beautiful cake and 200 exuberant guests ~ not to mention the ecstatic bride & groom! I can’t thank you for your coordination of a very special evening.

The Catering Works relationship, is what drew me to consider The Woman’s Club as a wedding reception venue. The central location to RDU & great Crabtree hotels worked perfect for our numerous out of town guests. As I always say, Catering Works, you & Jill are the best!

Please thank Scott for being so very attentive to ALL the details – he adds new meaning to: “service with a smile”. Please thank him for being one step ahead of us all night long!

Joseph was pulling out of TWC as Steve & I were pulling in. We were sorry to have missed him. Please tell Joseph that the flowers were beautiful both at the Church and The Woman’s Club. Carrie gave him very little specifics on what she wanted (knowing he was the expert) and we were so pleased with his artistic creativity.

Please don’t hesitate to use us as a reference. My phone keeps ringing from guests that are anxious to tell me their favorite part of the evening. The really wonderful part is, everyone loved something different, from the cake, to the food, the flowers, the potato bar, to the flexible venue and the entertainment. Thanks for making Carrie & Andy’s wedding celebration so wonderful!

With gratitude and care,
Nancy & Steve Dilger

PS Carrie & Andy called from the Miami airport and asked me to thank CW for packing the champagne & food for their midnight snack ~ so very thoughtful & appreciated!

I just want to compliment the caterers (Catering Works) for WinterFest. Their Shepard's Pie on last Saturday was just delicious, and their deserts -- the Pumpkin Cheesecake and the German Chocolate Squares -- were to die for.   It was quite a struggle not to go back for seconds!!!
~ Scott Davis, Executive Producer, UNCTV

November 2011

Hi Jill
Wow! Thank you so much for a perfect evening. I thought the food was extremely yummy and so did my guests. I particularly liked the beef short rib and the deserts were to die for. Please pass on our compliments to Chef. Your staff was extremely accommodating.

Joseph laid a gorgeous table and the flower arrangement is so pretty. I had a lovely time and I know my guests did too. Thank you for making my evening such a success.
Kind regards

It couldn't have been lovelier! Perfect in all respects. The food was out of this world and everyone was raving about it and the manner inwhich it was presented, the service was superb and the servers very friendly, the tent and lights and everything worked without a hitch. The dance floor was packed the entire evening - so thankful you were able to get another section put in. If you ever have another nervous or difficult MOB or bride, send them to me and I'll set them straight! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Lorin and Jill,
     Thank you so much for partnering with UNC-TV for Festival 2011.  In these tough times, we raised $1,800,610.
     During the drive, we had 91 organizations that brought in 2005 volunteers to answer phones.  As always, Catering Works wa a big hit!!  Not only did we speak highly of your catering, but the volunteers and corporate sponsors cheered loudly everytime I made my spiel about the delicious menu.
     Thank you and your entire staff - and especially Pam, Jamie, King and all the delivery and setup team - for all you did to make Festival 2011 a huge success.  I appreciate it more than I can say.
Warmest Regards,
Jackie Miller

Dear Ms. Laxton,
Thank you for providing your very tasty food for the volunteers delectation.  Everything was very well presented.  It was a visual feast as well as a feast for the taste buds.  I don't say this without a frame of reference, as a restaurant goer from D.C. to Richmond to Philadephia and throughout Virginia, I feel I can say this with a  degree of expertise.  Sincerely,

Dear Jill,
Ever since your wedding I refer you and Catering Works to every single bride I meet (whether I am working with them or not). I just loved you and your sister and your food, of course.

You guys run a top notch service (like I need to tell YOU)! I think you catered a wedding we did last year too with Jessica and Hackney at Haywood Hall. Besides the best food on the planet you guys amaze me with your floral work which is some of my favorite to photograph.

I look forward to another beautifully executed wedding catered and flora'd by you guys!

Hi Lorin,

We (finally) put our last wedding guests on a plane yesterday! I've been meaning to write you since the wedding to say thank you for all that Catering Works did to make it a great day! I thought the day went off without a hitch, and I know we have you and your great staff to thank for so much of that. Everyone had a wonderful time, and we got a lot of compliments about the food and service. Thanks so much for everything you did to make it a perfect day. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you--you are a consummate professional, a lovely person, and you always made us feel like our little wedding was as important as a 200 person gala. We have so many lovely memories of that day to cherish, and are so glad we chose Catering Works.

Thanks so much Beth! It was an AWESOME event and your staff was outstanding! Susan stayed on top of everything...King was quite the beverage supplier and cleaner up and Dan ran himself silly! Cindy handled the food well too! You should have seen King's eyes when I showed him my tupperware storage...he LOVED it! Ha! Please extend my thanks to all of them for allowing me to just be the hostess! I can't tell you how nice it is for the party to be over and for me to walk into the kitchen with EVERYTHING all cleaned up and the food put away! The BEST! Sorry you couldn't make it...you would have enjoyed seeing the house all "prettied" up! All the folks asked who the caterer was. I'll be in touch.
Thanks again,

I just want to say that the food was "DELICIOUS!" Everyone enjoyed every meal.
The Dinner was out of sight! I do not believe we could have made a better selection with each menu.
Thank you for all of your help in making our conference a success. As you know,
everyone looks forward to eating when attending meetings of any sort. Everyone kept saying: "this is some good food!"
Again thanks,

Dear Lorin and Joseph,
How can we ever thank you enough for helping to make our wedding such an amazing day. It was better than either of us imagined it to be. The food was spectacular (we even had one friend tell us it was the best meal he's ever had). The flowera were so simply beautiful. The entire day was exactly how we envisioned it to be. Thank you for working with us to let the day be unique and a reflection of us, while at the same time being respectful with our parents wishes too. They had a great time and were very pleased with the way it all turned out. You have both been a pleasure to work with and we thank you.

Dear Ms. Lorin Laxton:

I was delighted to learn that Catering Works has agreed to cater another Festival-because I know that once again, you will live up to your mission of exceeding expectations. UNC-TV's hard-working volunteers and staff always enjoy the best food, service, and presentations, and our corporate sponsors love those delicious full-sheet cakes made specifically for them........

(Just love Terry, always have to get a hug when I see her.)

Please send our heartfelt thanks to everyone who played a part in the wonderful luncheon today. Thanks again for everything.

Beth, Jamie and Pam-

Many thanks to all of you for answering questions and making suggestions regarding the March 12 luncheon. Everything was delicious and I received many compliments.
I have worked with many caterers for work related events but never for a personal gathering. The ease that you all provided this weekend has mademe rethink an upcoming bridal shower.

Thank you-

Thanks Lorin!

Yes, we just got back from our honeymoon. After hiking around a volcano, riding ATVs through the rain forest, and waking up to the howler monkeys outside our hotel window in Costa Rica, I am sad to say we are home. . . but, we have only just begun reminiscing about our wonderful day last weekend. Catering Works is who really made the party for all of our guests go so smoothly. We have had endless compliments on the food, flowers, table settings, and service, and I definitely had no worries knowing you all were in charge!

Thanks for being so personally helpful along the way planning too, especially since my mom was so far away. Tell Joseph his flowers were STUNNING. I am in love with my bouquet and it is hanging upside down right now, trying to be pretty for as long as possible.

Thanks for making my day SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO amazing!

I wanted you to know that today was a HOMERUN!! I actually got a call about how good the soup was. I love feedback like this and wanted to share it with you. Like you I have so many occasions where I'm not present for the lunches/meals that I've set up and sometimes have to wonder if it went over well enough. I've already been asked if I can use you next time. Thanks again!!
~ Sara Clifton,

February 2011

Wow! I cannot say enough about how well the event went last night!!!!!! This is in VERY LARGE part to your staff and the food! I had so many compliments on the menu (especially the filet). But I actually had even more compliments on the staff… they were great to work with and the guests were very impressed with their ability to fade in to the crowd but still be there at the same time when needed (I should not be surprised since you are so AWESOME!). They were professional and personable. It was wonderful! Best catering experience I have had! I told Scott as much but please share with him again. Thank you so much! I am very excited about our partnership… looking for to Friday!

This was my first experience with Catering Works and certainly not the last! My clients were very impressed with the superior level of customer service, presentation, professionalism and absolutely how tasty the food was.

You really outdid yourself! The flowers were gorgeous for the wedding.
I just came from church and even the senior minister told me that they were the most gorgeous flowers on our altar that he thinks he has ever seen. I've had two e-mails so far from church friends who told me how pretty they were, and a few others at church mentioned them, also.  The flowers at the reception, the wreath for the paschal candle, the bouquets--everything was really lovely. Thank you so much.
~ Wilda Whitley, Bride

October 2010

Everything went really well over the weekend. I am always impressed with Catering Works' professionalism, flexibility, presentation and quality of food. You are easy to work with and you always seem to get it right. We got several compliments related to the catering of the conference.   Thanks for helping to make us look good!
~ Jean Marie Livaudais, NCSU

October 2010

You two ROCK! The 47th annual NC Awards ceremony last night was a huge success. I am so glad I let you two guys talk me into all that crazy and beautiful furniture and lighting. The response was tremendous and everyone noticed that we stepped up the show by several notches! The tables were stunning – EW, your flowers were beautiful and John – your creativity and fabulous furniture did not go unnoticed!  EW – everyone loved the shortrib/mashed potato station and I loved what I saw on the buffet station. The limes were beautiful and the buffet presentation was lovely. No complaints there at all. Next year we need to have more desserts – but otherwise, I couldn’t be happier.  EW, I am only in the office Tuesday and Wednesday so as soon as you get me a final bill, I will have our office cut you a check and it can be ready in a day.  Many thanks again to two of my favorite guys. Never again will I question or doubt your creative genius.

We're about to leave for the airport but I had to say a HUGE thanks for a freaking amazing event. Everyone raved about the food - especially both stations! I can't thank you enough for all your time and effort to make Saturday the best day of my life. The staff was unbelievable, I had no idea they'd be so awesome. Lisa made sure we had food and drink all night!  Krysta who helped w the cake was amazing too. Quinn was so helpful too, he got us both flavors of cake and kept bringing strawberries! The rest of the staff was amazing too. Anyway there's more to say but you get the point. Thanks again for an amazing job!

I wanted to thank you for helping me with the event on September 30 at my home. Everyone raved about the food. Most popular were the Kentucky Bourbon Steak Bites and the Artichoke and Parmesan Dip. Cindy and David were professional, helpful and warm. David, in particular, is an asset for your organization - personable, solutions-oriented.  I look forward to the next opportunity I have to use your services!

September 2010

Hello,
I just wanted to write to say thank-you for the job you and your staff did on our conference this week!
The food was wonderful and we heard many of our guests commenting that it was the best fare they’d ever received at a conference. I really appreciated the creativity and details that went into the catering- from the beautiful flowers, to the cheerful table coverings that perfectly brought out our “theme” colors, to the way you incorporated so many fresh/local/healthy foods beautifully into the menu. Also, we as a company really appreciated the many ways your company works to be earth-friendly and supportive of charities in the local community as these are values we share as well.   Best of all, we get all of this at what I think are very competitive prices.   If asked, I would highly recommend your services to anyone I know looking for a great catering company!!
Thanks again for working so hard to help make our event a success!

Oh Beth! Everything was wonderful! The staff was excellent and so helpful and the food was wonderful as always! A couple of us took home leftovers and my husband and I ate it for Dinner and he loved it too. That salad was one of the BEST I have had from Catering Works. Delicious. Even five hours later, it was perfect!
Okay, I’ll stop gushing now! I just wanted you to know how VERY satisfied we are! Thanks again!

Beth,
I cannot tell you what a pleasure it was to work with you—how much I appreciate your advice and your willingness to help us come up with a menu for all tastes. As you can imagine, the food was totally enjoyed, some platters licked clean, and the few leftovers munched on and sent home with the Raleigh resident sister.
And equally delightful to work with—your associates, those darling sisters (whose names I’ve obviously lost, please don’t tell them, or if you do, tell them I’m a disaster with both names and keys). They were so totally professional, thoughtful of all ages and whims, perceptive in what was needed, anticipated the wishes of special needs, totally conscientious.
Everyone was so pleased with the weekend, that we are talking about having a family reunion at the same hotel next year and at about the same time. If this works out, we’d like you and “the sisters” to do our foods. Maybe then I’ll get a piece of that chicken! You were so right about its being popular. And the amount of food was just fine. Most people did have their evening meal while others did a snack and probably “ate dinner” on the road home.
I especially appreciated that you and Madison were able to work together for smooth planning.
Many, many thanks,
Carolyn Holmes

Thank you so much for all your work for our wedding! Everything turned
out perfect - it could not have been any better! The food was
delicious, the bar looked amazing, the decoration was perfect, the staff
was very nice, the cake was beautiful and delicious... there was not a
single flaw! In fact, several people approached us to ask who was our
caterer, because they were so impressed with everything! My mom asked
me to send you a special thanks for being so nice to her and working
with her on all of her ideas. She loved the cake and how you arranged
the docinhos! It was a pleasure working with you EW, and both Todd and
I are very grateful for all your work!

I just wanted to pass on the raves I received from the luncheon today.

The Teriyaki Beef & "Greek" Grilled Chicken were a big hit with the staff.
They also loved the Macadamia Nut Rice.

When I placed the order for this menu, I was not at all sure our people would care for it.....but received even more compliments on it than usual!

Thanks to you and your staff for doing a great job - as always.

"Wanted to thank you and your staff for doing a fabulous job with the Hatcher reception! The food was delicious and the staff couldn't have been nicer and easier to work with. Please let them know I appreciate all their hard work. It was very hot as you know and I didn't hear one complaint from your staff. They worked non-stop all night. Tara was always there for me and did a fantastic job of keeping everything on time. She was one of the best if not the best catering leads I have ever worked with.  Thank you again for making me look good to my client! Hope to work with you again soon."

Dear everyone at Catering Works,
It has been a very busy year for me at the Museum of History.  Thank you for helping me through this hectic time. Your creative menus, delicious food and superior service made me look good, time and time again, this year. For that I am truly appreciative. You are all such a joy to work with and I know that there are many of you behind the scenes I have never met that work very hard to make my events a success. Please know I appreciate all that you do and have done for me. I am still in amazement of how special you all made me feel for my 40th birthday. It means so much to me to have the respect of those I work with - THANK YOU! I know that last month was very busy at Catering Works, therefore, I am especially grateful that you made me feel so special on my birthday during your busy season. I appreciate all that everyone has done for me and the Museum of History at Catering Works, you're the BEST!
Kind regards,
Billy Wilson

“Please pass along my message of sincere appreciation to everyone who played a part in last night's event. From the decor to the food to the service - it was all exceptional. This is a really hard to please crowd, so that I received so many compliments and questions of "who is the caterer" because the food was so good, I'd say that is better than I could have ever hoped for! Truly, you guys out did yourselves.”

Just want to tell you that I will certainly be recommending you and your company. The food was delicious. I cannot remember how many guests asked me who the caterer was, because they loved the food. All in all the whole experience was delightful working with all of you at Catering Works. From the first call to Catering Works to the end of the party was seamless. I was able to enjoy the day with my family and that is priceless. Thank you for making this special mile stone in our family’s life, one to remember with pleasure.”
