” Our parties are smaller than many you cater, but all of you treat our event as extra special and we truly appreciate the care you put into our events.
Thank you again, as always, for making our Oscar Party a super success! Everything was perfect and our guests loved all the food and the beautiful setup! The lamb chops were superb, as always! All the food was great! The desserts were fantastic! Especially the chocolate covered strawberries and the cheesecake. Panache is always consistently excellent. We can always count on perfection.
They’re just aren’t enough words to express how much I love all of you and Parties by Panache. You are the best of the best! Phil, Jen and I look forward to hopefully many more parties together in the future.”
” Thank you so much for helping make our annual Laguna Folk Dance Festival a success! The entire Panache staff, was prompt, professional, friendly and thoughtful. The food was presented so beautifully and tasted delicious, from the salads to the scrumptious desserts! We heard so many compliments about your meals throughout the festival. Thank you for your time and care in preparing a special meal for one of our dancers with celiac disease.
We would like to reserve your services for our next festival in 2026!”
“Wow! You’ve done a lot of parties for us and this big 90 one ranks up there with the best. The food was phenomenal. I won’t single out any one dish because they were all great and hot dishes WERE HOT. And the portions so generous. My refrigerator is so packed I won’t have to cook for a month. The cake was unbelievably delicious. As for the staff –the ladies were delightful. Two of our guests who used to live in this building commented on the wonderful dinners they ordered from Panache during the pandemic. It is so amazing how you weathered that time and are now strong and continuously thriving.
Thank you, thank you for all the wonderful catering you have done for us over the years.”
” Best year ever!! I was literally getting compliments on the food in the middle of the event. Many were asking for your information! The vegetarians were HAPPY. Your server in charge did fantastic. Guests LOVED the beef… so tender, loved the sauce. As well as everything else and especially the appetizers and dessert! The big hit was the honey/goat cheese appetizer… seems like we nailed it this year!”
” We can’t thank you enough for all your work that was the backbone of an unbelievably successful dinner party. Our guests raved about the food. Rose and Valerie’s service was exceptional-efficient, unobtrusive (hard to pull off with everyone literally in the same room!), and gracious. I truly appreciated the small extras (like putting gifted flowers into water and setting them out) that made me feel like a guest at my own party. Please be sure to let them know how much we appreciated them.
We’re now officially spoiled. I’m not sure we’ll ever be able to have a dinner party without you again! “
” We ate the sea bass last night… tonight the short ribs. Everything was delicious! What a treat! Thank you. Oh, and the chocolate cupcake was so good. Loved it all!“
” Wanted to send a note to thank you and your staff for yesterday. It was all great. Lots of compliments on the food and especially your staff. They were all so very attentive and that was very much appreciated by us. We look forward to you catering another event for us in the future. “
” I just wanted to drop you a note letting you know how wonderful last night was. As always your food was delicious, but what really made the evening were your servers. I cannot express to you how fabulous they were. They were professional, courteous, timely. They managed everything so superbly that I didn’t have to worry or oversee a thing. I have had many chef dinners at my house, but this was by far the best especially due to the staff. Thank you for helping make last night a perfect evening and we will definitely be using you in the future. “
