What our clients think of us!

Debbie,

I can't thank Lori and Rick enough.  Their service to our club was outstanding.  We have been doing a roast for years.your presentation and food was by far the best ever.  Rick is a true master at pulling pork.  There was no fat..just great tasting pork..the sides were killer.  Lori was a whirlwind making sure that nothing ran out and everyone was happy.

Please give them my thanks or show them a copy of this email.

As the new Commodore of the yacht club it will be my recommendation that we use you again for next year.  From the Sunday morning feedback I don't think we'll even have to vote.

One condition...I must insist that you allow Lori and Rick to be our servers.  Those two are on top of their game.  Thanks so much.  I'm putting your card in the Yacht club folder.

Cheers, Glenn Gera
Commodore, Spring Cove Yacht Club

Debbie,

I wanted to thank you for being so gracious and accommodating yesterday evening at Tara and Ray's reception when the extra guests took our seats.  :)

We've photographed many weddings, and you were extremely helpful and courteous, not to mention amazing a la your cooking!  The food was delicious, your staff was superb, and the service top notch.  We hope to work with you again.

Take care,

July 15, 2009

Hi Debbie,

Now that I'm back in my routine and can breathe a little after the wedding and I wanted to send you a quick e-mail to say THANK YOU for everything. The food was delicious and everything was displayed so beautifully. It was definitely the best food I've ever had at a wedding and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We're still getting compliments about how great the food was - I actually heard today from someone who wasn't even at the wedding asking for the info for our caterer because one of our guests had told them how delicious our food was!!!

So thank you so much for everything - it was definitely above and beyond what I could have hoped for. You definitely out did yourself!

Debbie  & Staff,
 
I am sorry it has taken me so long to write this email.  It has been crazy getting back to “normal” over the last month but we are finally organized and back to our regular schedules.

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful job that you and your staff did for our wedding in May.  I cannot express enough what a great job you did and how great your staff is.  I have gotten so many compliments on the food and just the organization you brought to the day.  I cannot imagine what it would have been like using someone else.  It felt like you guys really “cared” and weren’t there just for another wedding.  I don’t know that I can thank you enough.  It was an awesome day.
 
I know your business is referral driven and I will do all I can to send everyone I know to you.  It is great to watch you succeed and I hope you continue that success in 2009 and the years beyond.
 
Again, our deepest heart felt thank you on an amazing job!!  If there is anything you need as far as a future reference or anything please feel free to pass my name and contact information along.

Complimentary note - April 11, 2009 - Kurley Wedding

Hi Debbie,

Received your nice note today.  Spoke with Karen tonight. 
She mentioned that my son, Joe, told her that the food on the

Have a great day!

Hi Debbie,

Thank you for doing such a wonderful job with everything at our wedding. 
We have gotten a few photos back and you are smiling in the background in
many!  The food was wonderful, the layout beautiful and we are looking
forward to eating the top layer of our cake next year.  We both enjoyed
getting to know you through all of the planning and the wedding day was
better than we let ourselves hope for!  We can't think of a thing that went
wrong, it was so much fun and we were so relaxed.  You feeding us and making
sure we had beer really helped us to relax and enjoy ourselves!

Hope all is well with you, your family and catering group.  We appreciate
all of the time, energy, thought, creativity, cooking, planning and
everything that went into make such a wonderful day and night for us!

Love,
Sara & Dave Rosen

Debbie, Tina and Gang!

Wonderful event this past Saturday at Woodlawn!  Mary (the client) was so tickled with everything!  The presentation, the food, the service!  Everything was perfectly displayed, and all the staff members were courteous and attentive to the guests needs.

I especially appreciated working with a caterer that was so efficient and prepared.  That makes all the difference in the world when you are a planner!

I look forward to our May 17th event, and many more to come!

Thank you again,
Jennifer Kraus

Special Olympics St. Mary’s County would like to express our gratitude to Ms. Deborah Hamann and Expressions Catering for her contributions to our annual Golf Tournament. This year was the first year that Ms. Hamann catered our event and we were extremely pleased.

The day went very well;  Ms. Hamann arrived in a timely manner and prepared to set up for the event. The decorations that she brought with her really presented outstandingly on the banquet tables. Ms. Hamann and her staff worked very effectively displaying the food and serving the food as well. The food was prepared superbly. After the golfers had been served all was cleaned up in a very short amount of time.

Overall we appreciate all that Expressions Catering and Ms. Hamann did to make our 16th annual event a huge success.

We are looking forward to working with Ms. Hamann again next year.

Sincerely,

Mary Lu Bucci

Hello Debbie:

First, I would like to THANK YOU and your staff at Expressions Catering, for a job well done!  Second, I would like to apologize for waiting over two months to express my gratitude and appreciation. The staff was very courteous and professional.  They went out of their way to make sure that everything was taken care of.  And, of course, Chef Richard was the best!

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to eat, but I received numerous compliments on the food as well as the presentation.  Again, thanks to you and your wonderful staff, for helping to make my mother's 60th Birthday Celebration a great success.  I look forward to working with you in the future.

Sincerely,
Chonita O'Bryant 

P.S. Please express my sincere thanks to Donna, Chef Richard, and the rest of the staff!  :-)

Hello, this is just a little letter to once again say THANK YOU for the wonderful job on Saturday June 2.  My wife was very surprised, and very pleased.  I received many compliments on all of the food and service.  Your staff was helpful and courteous all night.  If ever I or anyone I know ever needs a caterer, you can believe you will be at the top of my list.  For my wife and our family I would like to thank you again for the wonderful evening you and your employees provided.

Subject: Saturday's party :)

Hi Donna & Debbie,

I wanted to tell you that we were very happy with the food and service for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. The food was very good, beef tenderloin was delicious as was the salmon and potatoes...we got compliments ..so I made sure to tell the few who asked who the caterer was - who you are. And also, thanx for apparently throwing in the surprise glass plates! I don't know if I got you worried with my questions about size but the size of those and their looks were perfect and the serving size of food was also perfect. So ...I'm very happy I went with your company and wouldn't hesitate to refer you all on.

Thanx,
Deniz

Feb. 21, 2007 RE: Wedding on a Shoestring

Debbie/Donna,

I want to thank you for making my daughter's wedding party 'extra' special :)  Everyone raved about the delicious food!  My husband's teenage niece even commented on how good the green beans were.  I have to say Donna is the best!  From the initial phone call of placing my order to personally taking extra time to help me set up, I just can't tell you how grateful I am.  She was so helpful!  Without a doubt, she made the evening less stressful for everyone.  I've attached a picture of the food and appetizer tables.  I also want to let you know that the 2 yellow tongs Donna loaned me for the appetizers are with my mother-in-law who is going to give them to Donna's mom at next Friday's bingo.  My mother-in-law will be out of town this Friday night.  I hope that's ok?

Thanks again,
Sherrie Thompson & Family

I just dropped a note in the mail telling you how wonderful and perfect you made that event for my parents. You, your daughter and the rest of your team are true professionals, but more importantly, just very sweet folks! Everyone raved about you and you’re hired for anything we do in the future (once we fully recover from this of course). My only requirement is that you agree to be guest in our home and stick around until the bitter end. There were a lot of great memories made on Saturday and you were definitely part of that success. Thank you again so much for making our parent’s 50th anniversary such a success and for helping us show everyone the love we have for them! I hope to see you soon and wish your daughter the best of luck with her residency. Oh and for helping out with those mai tai’s!

Everything was wonderful!!  Your staff was a huge help in making sure the entire evening ran so smoothly for us.  I really thought they went above and beyond what Michelle and I expected of them!

We have already passed on your information to the sophomore class officers and sponsor, as they will be in charge of prom next year!  I strongly urged them to use your services!!

Thanks again for everything!!

Dear Debbie:

I just wanted to just say BRAVO for the exceptional food Expressions Catering provided yesterday to the Huntingtown Fire House Business After Hours. Your arrangement and presentation at each station was excellent, and I particularly enjoyed the scallops and chocolate desserts. They were absolutely fabulous! I shall remember your services whenever I am either asked for a recommendation or in need of catering for myself. I wish you much success in your business and am confident you will in no time be among the county's leading Caterer. 

Also I'd like to welcome you to the Chamber as a member, and look forward to seeing you again at other functions in the future.

From:               Trish & Scott Westcamp

Hi Debbie,
 
Scott & I just wanted to take the time to thank you for the awesome job you and your staff did catering our wedding. From beginning to end you where not only very professional, you where friendly and you made us both feel like part of your family. As soon as I meet you I knew you were the person to handle such an important event for us. 
 
We where very impressed by the way you and your staff ran the entire reception, not once did we worry about what was going to take place. You made it possible for us to simply relax and enjoy ourselves. Hats off to the chef, everyone raved about how great the food was and you and your staff did a beautiful job setting up everything from the tables to our wedding cake.
 
Scott & I where looking at our wedding picture's the other day and noticed that in the pictures that were taken with you in them you had a huge smile. It made us feel good that we will be able to look back at them to see that.
 
We highly recommend you to anyone for any event that they have and we will defiantly hire you for any catering events we plan in our future.
 
Thank you so much,
 
Trish & Scott Westcamp
