Frances:
"Thank you again so much for the incredible dining experience you created for us last night! The entire evening was magical. It started with the table being set so beautifully, and the fantastic personally 'etched' champagne flutes. We so appreciated the delicious extra starter course, the lamb dinner was honestly the best we have BOTH experienced in our lives (and we eat at fine dining restaurants once a week!) Honestly the attention to detail throughout the evening was tremendous. The crème brûlée...mmm...The fact that you baked our children cookies too, left us scrumptious nibbles for breakfast this am, and sent us pictures of the evening today, was truly above and beyond our expectations!
We will certainly be using your services again and will be referring you to our friends!!"
