We wish to thank the team at Classic Canapés for their wonderful efforts with our two Christmas Functions in December 2009.
From our initial enquiries through to the events, we encountered nothing but courteous, polite and helpful service. The food was delicious and presentation exceptional, with many compliments regarding the catering and caterers being received from all attendees.
We would have no hesitation in using Classic Canapés again in the future and would most certainly recommend you to others.
Thank you again – a job very well done!

Kind regards,

Dear Carly,
I have been remiss in thanking you and your staff for an outstanding function. The food, the presentation, the service and the professionalism was just perfect. People at the wedding raved about the food and the service and I hope you get more business through this function.

I would have you cater for another function for me in a heartbeat.
Please feel free to provide my name and phone number to any future prospective clients by way of a reference.

Regards,
Lee Taylor (Clarke)

WOW. Thank you again for an amazing night full of fab food & service. Your professionalism, courtesy, respect, & reliability are exemplary. I know many people expressed their enjoyment of the food served on the night, & I know several people have asked for your business cards.
I cannot wait to have another party now!

Caroline Lewis (& Garry)

I wanted to thank Classic Canapés properly for the wonderful food that you provided for my birthday last Sunday.

I have to say that you exceeded my expectations both in terms of quality and presentation – you and your assistant were so pleasant and easy to deal which made it all so much easier for my guests and I. You left the kitchen clean, tidy and again that took quite a load off…I really did / do appreciate it.

I would be more than happy to provide a reference (verbal or written) for you if you ever need one.

Once again thank you so much for all that you did – it served to make the day and I know a number of people took your card – so here’s hoping you get some work out of it – I will certainly be a strong advocate for you!

Cheers

Paul
