Hi Russell,
I intended to send this email a week ago, but it has taken me a week to truly recover from the party.
I want to thank you and your staff for all the hard work and delicious food. I think that everything went extremely smoothly and I was very pleased. Bonnie definitely had a good time at her party.
Thanks again Russell,
Wendy

Dear Russell & Flavors Catering Team:
Our heartfelt thank you for providing the catering for the Starr King School for the Ministry’s “Loving Our Earth” Symposium.
You made great efforts to accommodate us in our budget, special dietary needs and the late increase in attendees. I want to thank you so much for the delicious food, beautiful buffet set up and your wonderful staff. We received an enormous number of compliments of the overall service you provided. You all did a fantastic job! Thank you again for assisting in making the Symposium a wonderful and tasteful success.
With much appreciation and best wishes,
Dee, Coordinator of Academic Programs, Starr King School for the Ministry
Hi Russell,
Hope this finds you well,
Thank you for catering the memorial event for our dear friend Cathy. The food was perfectly delicious and your willingness to pick up the desserts was enormously helpful. We were all coming from various locations and coordinating everything would’ve been a nightmare otherwise! Your kindness and patience were much appreciated during this very difficult time and was more like working with a friend than a vendor.
We wish you the very best and much continued success. Hopefully the next time we need your services, it will be for a happier event.
Sincerely,
Joette
Hi Russell,
We both want to give another big THANKS! for all the amazing work you and your excellent staff did for our wedding. From helping us find the location of the Berkeley Yacht Club (which was perfect!), to working with us on the menu to keep within our budget, to coordinating the various rentals and through to the end of the reception, you were always a pleasure to work with.
We really appreciated your responsiveness and we definitely got the feeling that you truly cared and only wanted the best for us. To top it all off, the food was absolutely amazing! All our guests raved about the creativity of the meal and quality of the service.
So, thanks again and best wishes!
Courtney & Aaron
