“It was a delight to work with Diane from beginning to end. She came by to see my home to talk personally about what I wanted and the type of guests I was inviting. She suggested several menus that included a wide variety of hot and cold Hors D’oeuvres. She was organized and attentive to my needs. The food was delicious and freshly made – it was so good that there was very little left over and everyone commented on how much they enjoyed it. The staff was courteous, professional and a delight to have in my home. Diane took care of everything from the time she and her staff came into the house, allowing me to actually enjoy the party and have time to talk to my guests. It was delightful”. – Gay F.
