Everything was excellent. The food was extremely tasty and loved by all. I would highly recommend this company and definitely have them cater my next event. When guests talk about my daughter's bridal shower and how much they enjoyed it, the delicious lunch we served was mentioned by all.

On Friday April 5th we had a small wedding reception in my back yard. Leonard not only provided the ental furniture but also cooked everything to perfection on site. We had to hussel to get everything set up after the rain, but everything came off well. I got rave reviews on the food from everyone. Thank you to Leonard for helping us host a great event!

Leonard has catered two separate events for me, a birthday party and a family reunion. Each time he was very professional, and at each event my guest raved about how excellent all the food was. Will definitely hire him again for any upcoming events!
