I threw a bridal shower this weekend and Kim was amazing! She was responsive, friendly, on time and very professional. She arrived 5 minutes before drop off time and set up quickly. The food was piping hot but she also supplied sternos which kept the food hot until the very end. She then cleaned up everything and supplied serving spoons and To-go containers. Which was unexpected but wonderful. The food its self was also amazing!! My guests and the bride raved about the food all night - I had the Italian menu- salmon piccata and chicken in a creamy lemon sauce. Salmon was so yummy I ate a piece for breakfast the next day. I will definitely be using her services again! Thank you so much for bringing calm to a hectic day!
