And on the big day, the food and service was fantastic as well!  We have received many compliments!  I have a great picture of one of the wait staff dancing – wish I could remember her name – she took such great care of us, and her dancing with my friends is one of my greatest memories!  It was a great moment.  Thank you for all of your hard work.  Everything was great and we are so appreciative!  P.S.  We would be thrilled to recommend you to any other bride and groom-to-be!"

"Our guests have still not stopped raving about the food from our November 19th wedding.  But, it wasn’t just the food – it was the whole package.  From taking care of our chair covers, to making sure our chocolate fountain as flowing surrounded by trays of cookies.  Everyone just loved it and so did we.  Thank you for making our day so memorable.  It was just great.  All the Best."                

Karen & Andy L.
Dear John,
"Just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with your catering for our daughter’s wedding reception and day-after-wedding brunch.  The food was fantastic and the presentation was beautiful.  Many of our guests complimented us on the food and many guests also mentioned how friendly and accommodating your staff was.

I always had great trust in your abilities to make it all work and you certainly did not disappoint us.  I would not hesitate to recommend you in the future to anyone looking for a top-notch caterer.  You and your staff certainly fit the bill!"

Dear Manager,
"I wanted to express my appreciation for the extra care given to me during the dinner held at your facility by Beta Phi Mu.  I am a vegetarian with food allergies, which can make eating out problematic, but your banquet manager, Cherie, provided a wonderful meal of Portobello mushrooms and even a fruit cup for dessert.  That thoughtfulness has never been offered anywhere else.  Please commend her for going beyond expectations."

Chris & Frank D.
Dear John,
"In the month since our daughter Susanna’s wedding, we have heard rave reviews of the food served at the wedding from many of our guests.  They amplify what we feel, that the food and service, as well as the presentation, were superb!  The food looked beautiful, was delicious, and the waiters were attentive, yet unobtrusive.  For the first time at any of our children’s weddings, Gene and I were actually able to enjoy our meal without it being removed before we were finished!  Our only regret is that we don’t have any more weddings to host for which you could cater!  It was a pleasure to work with you and benefit from your artistry and organization."  Gratefully Yours, 

Debbie & David C.
John and Staff,

Dear Carnegie Catering,
"My husband and I would like to thank you for making our daughter’s August 1st wedding at the Greystone Castle such a memorable evening.  Everything was done to perfection!  All our guests were taken care of in elegant style and we are so very grateful and thankful to all of you.  We have one daughter, so not having any experience with planning a wedding, we sought the experts and you did an outstanding job!  The event is over so quickly after all the planning and preparation but you folks made the evening memorable, delicious and enchanting.  Thank you all so much."

Dear Bill,
"I can’t thank you & your staff enough for all you did to make the Kevin S. concert a success.  We received many compliments about how delicious and beautiful the food was.  Please know how much we appreciate your generosity.  The “Meet & Greet” with Kevin would not have been possible without Carnegie Catering.  Although Kevin lost his voice, the evening program was an inspiration to all who attended, and especially the Wish Kids & their families.  Thank you again for everything – we are truly grateful!"
