Sweet Somethings From Happy Clients

“I can't thank you guys enough for ALL your work last weekend! Everyone had a total blast thanks to your wonderful food and staff service. I received such amazing feedback about how accommodating you and your staff were and the food, well, let's just say people are still talking about it! So thank you again so very much, I can hardly wait to do it again with you guys!”

I do not know how to say thank you for providing a flawless afternoon-to-evening party. You and your staff did an outstanding job that was executed with perfection. You were able to put Fred and me at ease to concentrate on our guests as 12th Street Catering concentrated on the food, drinks, and cleanup. I do not know how to fully thank you for a great experience. ...shout from the highest mountain top, circulate flyers, go door to door. You made the night a perfect night for us. Thank you.

“I could not thank Michele and her team at 12th St. enough for providing our guests with fabulous service at our event. Attendees could not say enough about how helpful the staff was and how delicious the food and beverages were - we even had people posting photos of the food on social media throughout the day. Everything from helping me conceptualize our layout, creating a signature cocktail, choosing linens, and on-site execution was flawless. I'm looking forward to working with 12th Street Catering again in the future!”
