We sent a list of the kinds of meals we would make for our friends if we were cooking for them and Diane took our list and created a custom menu using the ingredients and flavors she saw on our list. We had beautiful food that people are STILL talking about.  The staff were warm and attentive to us and to our guests – five star, professional service, but approachable (not stuffy).  On my wedding day, the food and service were the last things on my mind because I was so confident in the ladies from LadyFingers! ” – Heather W.
