“This Christmas season we decided to do something different for our office party. As opposed to the traditional office gala I hosted the party in my home. Encore Catering was the ideal solution.
“Not only did our employees enjoy the excellent food but it was made all the better in that we supported a wonderful organization. Prince and Elise became an integral part of the evening as they helped serve and helped out with the entire event.
“From the tomato basil tarts to the cheddar pecan wafers it was all great. Good food, a great organization helping celebrate a wonderful season. We will call them again.”

“...What a successful evening we had last
night at Irwin thanks to the delicious food from Encore. I am sure you realized
this when you learned that there was not a morsel left over. I was really
nervous about running out when we had to start using halves of the take away
boxes for extra plates. I am so happy that you were able to introduce yourselves
and your program to the families. You ... made a great presentation which went
over very well. The PTA officers immediately started talking about using you to
cater their Teacher Appreciation Lunch in the spring. In a nutshell, the food
set the scene for a really successful night at Irwin. They had an unprecedented
turnout and many many stayed for the Parent University session that followed
dinner because there was so much fellowship going on over that good food.”
