Thank You

Hi Alan,

 

Thank you so much for everything you did to make my daughter's wedding a success!

 

We will be eternally grateful to you.

 

Jennifer was wonderful as well as all the staff. The food was exceptional.

 

I have the questionnaire you emailed and will fill it out promptly and return it. 

 

Words can never express my heartfelt thanks.

Thank You

Alan,

I'd rate Ultimate no lower than perfect.  I had never once eaten at a wedding where the food was mouthwatering at every single course, until my wedding. And I don't just think it was my bias from an adrenaline rush! Your food, the service, patience, attentiveness, decor, and timeliness truly helped set the tone I've ways imagined my wedding would be like. I thank you tremendously and will certainly write raving reviews after returning to NYC.

Thank You

Alan,
Thanks so much for all of your help with my husbands 60th Surprise Party on Friday, February 17th.  It was a huge success and your staff was spectacular.  My guests commented how helpful, professional and courteous they all were.
Please extend my warmest regards to all of them. 
Should I need to cater an event in the future, you will be my first call.
Regard,
Monica

Thank You

Jennifer and all of Ultimate Caterer,

Thank you so much for the generous donations you provided for our Mad Hatter Party and Opening Reception this past Friday! We received nothing but compliments and were able to provide hors d’oeuvres for over 400 guests with your help. This was our largest attendance yet at an opening and we were fortunate enough to receive donated services from your business and others to help make it an enjoyable experience for all. We did make sure that we put your information by each donated platter so our guests would know who it came from, and where they could find something so delicious! Again, we could not be more grateful and we are looking forward to continuing the Preferred Professional relationship with Ultimate Caterer for the remainder of 2012!

Butterfly Ball Raises Funds for Ashley Lauren Foundation

LONG BRANCH, NJ - The Ashley Lauren Foundation's Inaugural "Butterfly Ball" Honoring Jim and Linda Spinella (Colts Neck, New Jersey)- Nearly 300 guests enjoyed being part of The Ashley Lauren Foundation's Inaugural Butterfly Ball on Saturday, January 21, 2012 at the Ocean Place Resort and Spa in Long Branch. All attendees enjoyed an evening of fine food, drink and entertainment, while raising funds and increasing awareness of The Ashley Lauren Foundation's mission of providing Hope & Help for Children with Cancer in NJ. Funds raised from the event will go toward supporting the many programs of the Foundation.
The Honorees were local business leader, Jim Spinella and his wife, Linda. Jim is the Founder and CEO of HDlogix Inc. and lives in Colts Neck with his wife Linda, their two sons, James and Christopher, four Huskies and two Clydesdales, Ace and Jock. They own Yellow Brook Farm in Colts Neck where children of The Ashley Lauren Foundation share memorable time with their horses.
The Ashley Lauren Foundation's "Tree of Hope," placed prominently at the event, was adorned with paper butterflies that contained many needs of the children. Attendees could choose a butterfly and sponsor that need. The tree will be planted at Yellow Brook Farm with a plaque honoring the children of The Ashley Lauren Foundation.
Monica Vermeulen, Founder and Executive Director of the Foundation, says, "We have been anxiously awaiting this event for several years and are so please with its success.

Everything I expected plus a little extra!!!   posted 12/5/2011

First off, when we arrived to cocktail hour I was excited and intrigued by the elegantly designed drink table with a mixture of wines and various martinis. Alan the owner sold it to me during our meeting to speed up the bartending service during the initial rush of cocktail hour. It was brilliant because with in 15 or so minutes the drink table was empty and it seemed all the guests had drinks in hand. The staff were surprisly nice, because most people in the food and bev industry seem a little bitter over time, but this staff was pleasant and smiled everytime an appetizer was offered. The Bartenders were efficient and knew all the common drinks that would be served. We went with the Buffet package because we did not want any guests to complain they did not eat enough. We had delicious Penne Vodka (def recommend it), a Carving station with crab/spinach stuffed pork loin and london broil, a light salad with some vinagrette dressing, an assortment of dinner rolls and pecan encrusted salmon. The food quality alone is worth the price, along with straight forward sales process which Alan and Jennifer helped guide me through. We had an amazing time and I am sure my first daughter to wed had just as memorable an experience. I would definitely recommend them to my son whenever he decides to settle down. My favorite part of this caterer was that they personalized a package for my event and traveled to my remote location of the party. To top off the night, they passed warm cookies with cute little milk shots to wash them down. To my surprise the young lady passing the cookies was still smiling 5 hours into the party. I was shocked and tipped every server after the party for a great job. Thank you Ultimate Caterer and keep up the great work!!!  

Dear Alan

We can't thank you enough for the fantastic job you did in catering our Celebrating Our Dreamers reception.  Your set up and food were wonderfully elegant and your staff went above and beyond to see that our guests were well cared for, even accommodating special requests in a magical fashion.

Alan, you truly exceeded our expectations.

Thank you for everything,

Lee, Gail and Don
