Marcia meticulously planned and supported our company Christmas social and dinner. Her tasty, southern style dishes more than satisfied the appetites of our employees. She voluntarily threw in extras like dessert, holiday decorations and stainless steel chafing pans. Marcia is a professional who goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her business for any size event.
