Hi Mark and Christine,

Sorry I missed getting the chance to say good-bye Saturday - you quietly packed up and left!

Thank you for an amazing day. You guys are awesome! The food was absolutely delicious - we had so many comment on how yummy the food was. So thank you so much.

Thank you too for making everything run smoothly, the tables looked beautiful and your team were great.

If we ever ran another event I certainly would not hesitate in calling and booking you guys again! Thank you!

Blessings,

Tania

This review just came in from Mr and Mrs Bray whose wedding we catered for Saturday night!
"Thank you again for a wonderful spread of beautiful food . Guests are still talking about it today. All of the food was excellent and the highlight was the lamb Korma and tuna pasta �. Hubby loved the seafood. I can't compliment the food enough. It made our special day all the more memorable."

That pork crackling... amazing... crispy... perfection. The whole Denby Catering team provided an amazing dinner and went to great lengths to create the perfect reception. I've had many of our family and friends complimenting the dinner we had. Especially the citrus couscous and apricot chicken. 10 out of 10.

Denby Catering went way above and beyond to make sure my wedding was perfect. Logistically our wedding location was a bit of a nightmare. We were attempting to plan a New Zealand wedding from Alaska. Not only were we planning the wedding from across the world, but the location of the wedding was a remote property in Northern New Zealand that had limited electricity and no kitchen. Denby Catering accommodated us at every turn. They drove for hours to get to our destination, didn't mind when they had to use the neighbor’s kitchen, and then drive all the food from the neighbors to our property. Furthermore, the food was terrific, my husband’s only request on our wedding day was good food, and he describes it "as the best food he has ever tasted". All our wedding guests were impressed with the delicious cuisine and the wonderful staff. On a stressful day, Denby Catering made everything more relaxed. Every time we introduced a new hurdle, they said they would find a way to make it happen. I cannot recommend them enough. We will forever remember them and they amazing job that they did.

Thank you so much!

Sincerely,

Alex and Jenny

P.S. So sorry this took us forever…

Good Morning Mark

Once again thank you for an amazing dinner on Saturday night, James and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Love that custard! And oysters so fresh! Yum! We wish you all the best, and have been told Elaine will get in touch with you once she has business cards available for her lovely venue　:-)　In the meantime, if you hear of anyone interested in a boutique venue like that, her email address is:

Hi Mark,

I’ve forwarded this on to our accounts and we will try our hardest to process this & get you paid over night tomorrow but we may have missed the boat just due to bad timing and our National office closing.

Many thanks again for wonderful food, your staff did a fabulous job and there were heaps of compliments made regarding the food and service

Thanks again

Kind regards

Hello Mark,
We called in Tuesday and dropped off a large serving
spoon and a container of stuff left behind on Saturday.
The product was kept in the fridge so should be OK.
The balance owing has been paid over.
Thanks so much for a great lunch, all comments
positive.
regards Margaret
