APPRECIATION

What People Are Saying

We place a huge value on strong relationships and satisfied customer feedback is vital to helping us provide pleasurable, tasty and memorable events.

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!”

Lunch & Dinner, March 2025

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.”

90th Birthday Lunch, February 2025

” 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!”

Santa Ana Zoo Gala Dinner, August 2024

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!

” 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. “

Bridal Shower Brunch, February 2023

” 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. “

Christmas Holiday Party, December 2022

” I just wanted to send a quick note of thanks. Yesterday holiday tea was so delicious and the service from the team was outstanding.  I look forward to using Parties by Panache in the future. “

Michelle D. (Newport Beach, CA)

High Tea Party, December 2022

” I wanted to make sure you knew what an amazing time we had on 9/24. Rose and Kelly were AMAZING – they attended to
our every need and then some. The food was excellent and it was so nice to not have to set up, clean up, etc. The ladies even took care of my kids! I have a 13 and 15 yr old who we were going to order in for, but since we only had 10 guests instead of 12 they set my kids up with the extra and I didn’t need to even think about it. I wish I could dine like that every night!

Please let the ladies know how much I appreciate them and enjoyed meeting them – they worked their butts off! When they left I was outside and wasn’t able to give them a proper goodbye so it would mean a lot if you can pass along my message.
Best wishes – I’m a big fan! “

5 Course Wine Pairing Dinner, September 2022

  •   I can't praise parties by Panache for their incredible job they did for our hundredth year gala at Temple Israel of Long Beach. Hollis was exceptionally professional and a joy to work with. She tentatively listen to all my needs and insured. The event was elegant and flawless. A committee. Member of mine made us significant air in the table set up, but Hollis, with her King attention to detail, caught the mistake and saved the night. From start to finish, Hollis promised was executed to perfection. The evening couldn't have been more perfect, with 250 attendees joined beyond delicious food served hot and an incredible staff that cater to everyone's needs. If you're thinking about planning big or small event, parties by panache should be the only company you call. Hollis will make your evening memorable, and a delight to attend. Thank you Hollis for all your hard work you put in to making our event a huge success, I couldn't have done it without you!

  •   Outstanding! I used Panache for a dinner party at my home. The food was amazing and the service even better. They were easy to work with from start to finish. Booking and scheduling was a breeze and when they showed up for the event it was obvious they are truly a professional catering company. The service staff were over-the-top accommodating. My guests raved about how thoughtful and considerate the servers were. I will definitely use Panache again and whole heartedly recommend them for all of your events.

      We had our family Hanukkah party catered yesterday by Hollis and her amazing team. It was amazing. They didn't miss a beat! The set up, service and food were all incredible. Thank you for such a wonderful experience and great food. We will be using them every year from now on.

      We have a few parties and holiday meals catered by Hollis and the Panache team, and we really can't say enough about the amazing food and service level. Everything on the catering menu and holiday menu is always amazing. The food quality, creativity and portion size is always perfect and all details covered so we don't have to ever think or second guess about the meal. Just did the last thanksgiving holiday meal again and followed the reheat instructions and was blown away on how moist and tasty the turkey was. All the sides were fantastic and the bread stuffing (always a family favorite) was out of the park home run!

    Thank you Panache for all exceeding our expectations!

      As one of the hosts of a virtual bridal shower we were so fortunate we found Parties by Panache! They were absolutely fantastic. We had numerous guests in the local area as well as many joining us from several states. We wanted everyone to be able to enjoy some tasty treats as well as champagne to toast the bride. Parties by Panache made it happen!

    Their sweet and savory boxes were amazing! Everything tasted fabulous and the presentation was wonderful! On top of that, every single person received their boxes on time with everything intact. No broken champagne bottles, no crumbled goodies - just delightful, delicious, nibbles and sips for our guests.

    Working with Hollis was a wonderful. She made the entire process an enjoyable experience. I give them the highest of ratings! 5 STARS!!

  •   I employed Panache in 2017 for my 25th Wdg Anniversary and I still can't say enough about the service I received. Not only was the food incredible but from the moment I stepped into Panache and met with Hollis, I knew that I was in the right place. Hollis and her staff made our event so special with the way they decorated and made sure that my husband and I were happy with every little detail was beyond what I was expecting. Not one thing went awry. I highly recommend Panache to everyone. If I ever have the chance to host another large event, I would not look any further than Panache. I have two kids to marry off in the future so I know where I will be looking for my catering needs. I hold Panache in high regard!

      This is a very long overdue review from July 2019.

    I just wanted to thank you for making my mother in law's memorial service as pleasant as a memorial service could ever be. Every interaction with Hollis; over the phone, in person meetings, follow up emails and subsequent visits to the venue until the day of the event was handled with white glove service and absolute care. She took the pressure off of an emotionally overwhelming day. The staff was extremely professional, helpful and their attention to detail was a reflection of Hollis. It was impressive to see how she holds her staff to such high standards and they held each other accountable for perfection which stems from her leadership. True teamwork! The food was by far outstanding in presentation and taste. We had many compliments by the attendees and were fortunate to have the remaining food boxed up for our family. My husband I didn't eat anything during the event and it was so great to be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor afterwards. Parties by Panache surpassed every expectation we had.

    They are not just a "catering company", they are "The Best" catering company I have ever worked with. They handled every detail for us, from arranging the flowers, linen/rental placement and food/drink set up. They truly are perfectionists and it is definitely apparent in their work.

    Should the need ever arise for us to cater another event in the area, hands down, I will be reaching out to you again.

    Thank you Hollis to you and your staff for the tremendous amount of attention to detail, care and perfection that went into making our event so memorable.
