A Tented Wedding for 300

Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP
Dear Mark,
What can I say except simply perfect!!! We have received tremendous
response to the wedding everyone is raving about the food even still. And
yes, I won my bet with Judith and I actually sat down and ate my dinner at
my own wedding!
Mark, you did an amazing job. Jon and I are so very happy with every little
detail you obviously put so much thought and effort into. Everything from
the tables, to the bars, to the flowers, the fresh lemonade (which was a
major hit), the little fruit sorbets which were personally delivered to me
on the dance floor, and of course the most gorgeous wedding cake ever!!!
I just wanted to thank you for your hard work, thoughtfulness,
professionalism and attention to detail. You exceeded all my expectations
and I am certain that many people will be contacting you when they are ready
to cater their own parties, as many of our guests asked about you. You did
a tremendous job, Mark. Thank you so much for making my and Jon¹s day
simply a fairytale.
Fondly,
Jodie
A Family Dinner Celebration in Westchester
Hannah Lewin
Dear Mark,
The party last night was the best I have ever given at home. Jim and I
really had a great time along with all our friends and family. The Susan
Lawrence staff, as you promised, were so professional and efficient yet so
warm and friendly they did become like family. They were on top of
everything. Guests always had a drink in hand food was constantly being
passed, and used plates and glasses were whisked away. Somehow I kept
losing my glass and your staff kept finding it or seeing I had a fresh one
immediately.
The food was absolutely delicious the selection perfect. And the
presentation beyond belief the fruit and cheese platters works of art my
dining room table truly a garden. You did make our home feel like a garden
in the rain! So many people thought the cake was a gift box definitely a
masterpiece and sinfully delicious. So many guests said it was like a New
York City party lots of people small space yet plenty of room to move
around and mingle. Your staff was like beautiful background music always
there but unobtrusive.
Mark thank you for coming here to meet with Jim and me ahead of time
your guidance was excellent with respect to menu and layout. And a special
note of appreciation for coming here the day of the party and spending so
much time seeing to the set up with the staff. Jim and I hope to have the
occasion to work with Susan Lawrence in the future.
Sincerely,
Hannah Lewin

Dear Mark,
I like to give written praise; it always seems worth more than verbal.
Thank you for taking away my Thursday night jitters. Once you and your crew
got here, I didn¹t worry about a thing other than Geoffrey Holder showing
up. Everyone raved about the food, so you may have picked up a few
customers.
Sincerely,
Margaret Casey Gould

The entire Susan Lawrence staff deserves a standing ovation for a truly
spectacular reception at Hoff-Barthelson¹s Richard Goode Benefit Recital.
You transformed an ugly duckling room into a graceful swan. Exquisite taste
was reflected in every detail and ensured an unusually successful event.
My heartfelt thank you!
All the best,
