"Dawnelle, Thank you so much for making my little get together with friends so special. Lots and lots of comments on how beautiful and wonderful the food was. The six of us managed to polish off most of the food -- lots of hearty eaters (seems to be a trait of some of us Kentucky girls). Glad my pantry had a few supplies because the only things left from last night's party were the muffins, a little bit of cheese and cake. Thank you again for such a wonderful and professional service... "

The food was set up at 11:00 and we ate at 11:30. The food was warm and delicious. I asked the staff what they thought and everyone responded that it was very good. I want you to know that the next time we are looking to have a luncheon, we will be calling on you again. Thank you so much for the great food and service. Stephen "

Debi Meier
Wedding Reception
"We hired Personal Touch for our wedding reception for a hearty appetizer buffet. Our guests keep raving about the food three weeks later!!! They had enough to eat, but the food did disappear. Akhila was great to the groom and I, saving us a plate with a bit of everything on it while we were out taking photos. I especially recommend the beef tenderloin and smoked salmon. The only recommendation we have for Personal Touch: stock the open bar deeper and if you run out of a bunch of drinks during the party, at least replenish some. We ran out of beer, red wine, tequilla, and TONIC. We are a group of partiers but nothing extreme. Our NY and NJ guests loved the Buffalo Trace Bourbon. "

Belinda Settlers

"We just wanted to say thank you to you all for the great job you did for our celebration. And also we want to compliment Cynthia. She did a fantastic job. Really, she was perfect.

We'll be sure to recommend you to all our friends in the area. Sincerely, Belinda and Michelle"
