Wow! Panache was there how & when I needed them to be with pricing that was fair and appropriate. They also honored us in special ways being a repeat client. We have worked with Parties by Panache for celebrations and recently for my mother's memorial. They have the capacity as professionals to match the service, food & details of an affair with the people who hire them keeping mindful of the budget that defines the cuisine.
Highly recommend Parties by Panache for all types of occasions to honor any stage of our lives, from birth to death. We've worked with them, as I said, for each of those and more.
Thank you PANACHE!!

Hollis,
We were thrilled with everything last night! Your team was excellent, Kellie, Ashely and Andrew scored a huge 10 in all areas of service. Your responsiveness and willingness to work with our needs and budget was also wonderful and appreciated. Thank you for everything!

Hello Gary,
I want to thank you and your team for the great job you all did at the celebration brunch I had at my home last week. I appreciate the attention to detail you had in the planning process, every step of the way you made sure me and my guests would go without want. All the food was great (we especially loved the sundried tomato frittata) and Kellie our event Captain was superb in her ability to anticipate our ever need. All my friends want Parties by Panache catering their next event. Thanks Again!

Hi Hollis,
I wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the party last Friday eve. Food was great. The servers were especially kind and very hard workers. I have had only nice comments from those who came. I will recommend Parties By Panache to others and hope to use you again myself!
Merry Christmas!

Dear Hollis,
This thank you is way overdue. Originally, I wanted to send this to you and your staff last September after Ariel's Bat Mitzvah. Your creativity and flexibility made it so very special. You may not remember, but we were the ones you made special recipes for - peanut, nut & egg free. Everything was so delicious and the Chocolate Fountain was an incredible hit, and the dance floor!! Well I could go on and on.
You also made everything so flexible for my mom. We didn't know if she would make it there or not. As it turned out, she was not there, but you changed the seating in a flash & no one except family knew what was going on.
And then when mom died and I wasn't sure what to do and I needed to make sure with all the commotion that everything was safe for Ariel - well you more than came through.
Hollis, I will never forget everything that you and your staff have done for our family. I know in the scope of your business we have contributed pennies. yet you and your staff made us feel like royalty - as if we are the most important people in the world.
Please let your staff know.
Happy Passover and God Bless You and Yours

Dear Hollis:
What a spectacular presentation and memorable evening you put on for the wedding celebration for Marie-France and me. It was superb and everybody really enjoyed the entire evening.
The food was fantastic right from the sushi, the cheeses, the wonderful passed hors d' oeuvres, and then the crepes, the carved meats and side dishes. Of course, the chocolate fountain was fabulous and was a real hit with the guests.
If I could tell everybody what a great job you and your staff did I certainly would! Please feel free to use this letter as a recommendation or you may also contact me for a specific recommendation.
Again, you and your staff did a superior job and Marie-France and I are truly thankful.
Best regards,

Dear Hollis,
On behalf of the Tustin School Management Association, thank you! We enjoyed our partnership with your wonderful company in catering our annual Community Recognition Dinner.
This year's theme "A Learning Odyssey" certainly defined my new role. Your suggestions, outstanding staff and service ensured a lovely evening for our guests.
We look forward to continuing our relationship with you and the outstanding staff at Temple Beth Shalom as we hold other Community events.
Sincerely,

Dear Hollis,
What a joy it was to work with you on the dessert reception for Shimon Peres. Our planning meetings were very pleasant. In fact, there was not one moment of apprehension for me.
Your magnificent presentation and the delicious pastries and fruit were the talk of the evening and greatly appreciated by all those who attended. I found you warm, flexible and very much in charge, which is a gift for any event chairperson.
The Shabtais were also impressed with your presentation and grateful for the immaculate condition in which you left their home.
On behalf of the Norman Schiff Scholar Lecture Committee, I want to thank you for your superb work. You are a special gift to the Orange County catering community and we are fortunate to have had the pleasure of working with you.
Please thank Beverly, also, who was most helpful any time I called.
Sincerely,
Winnie Ross

Dearest Hollis,
Words cannot express how amazing you are! It was an incredible experience and we are sad the planning is over. We had so much fun and it's because of you and Leslee and your wonderful staff. Hollis, you are so creative and incredibly talented! People are still raving over the food, and the martini's set a new standard. In fact you raised the bar for everyone that night.
Thank you for your attention to detail and your unending enthusiasm, not to mention your willingness to do something different. The food exchanges we had were wonderful; you are a master chef. On behalf of the entire Schwartz family, thank you for creating a beautiful day for all of us. I can't wait to see what's next!
Much love and appreciation,
Mike and Elaine
Dear Hollis,
Thank you so much for making my Bat Mitzvah the best ever! I loved every part of it! I had no idea how awesome it was ! The food was outstanding and the decorations were amazing! Thank you for all of your hard work and time! I am sad that it is all over! Thank you again!
Always,
Juliet
Dear Jerry & Panache Caterers:
Thank you for the great luncheon this past Tuesday at the networking meeting. It was wonderful. I might say, it was the best luncheon we ever had for the group. Your presentation was inspiring! I hope others will take the initiative to market their company as you are handling Panache.
Sincere best wishes,

Hollis,
The party you did for us on June 20 was wonderful. Everything was perfect. The food was delicious and the staff was excellent. Not only did they have everything set up when we arrived, but it was set up beautifully. They served dinner on time, were friendly and helpful, kept the drinks chilled and everything cleaned up as the party progressed, and left the house in perfect order. We cannot thank all of you at Parties by Panache enough for making our rehearsal dinner a big success.
Sincerely,
Tom and Donnette Guiltinan
Dear Hollis, Tori, and all the friendly and competent people at Panache,
Thank you for another fabulous shindig at Randy's house. You always outdo yourselves! And of course everyone thanks me as though I made the party so wonderful. At first I told them that all I did was pick up the phone and Panache did the rest. But then I got to thinking. I can take credit for knowing what number to dial for a great evening of amazing food, super service and beautiful presentation.
Thanks,
Michele
Dear Hollis,
We want to thank you for all you did to make Tyler's Bar Mitzvah celebration such a success. Everything was wonderful. The food was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. The room with all the wonderful decorations looked great. The time table worked out very well too. Hollis, it is such a pleasure to work with you and I appreciate how you always take the time to work everything out with me. Once again you did a terrific job. I so enjoy working with you and look forward to it again in 2005!
Thanks for everything,
Joy, Hank and Tyler
Dear Hollis,
You and your staff have outdone yourselves! Thank you, thank you thank you! Where can I begin?
The party Saturday was a huge success and everyone raved and raved about the superb and unique food. Tori and Inga worked tirelessly to give impeccable service, to clean up and to leave as little as possible for me to do. I felt like a guest at my own party and I just loved it. I cannot say enough wonderful words of praise for all of you. You are the very best!
Till next time.
Fondly and sincerely,

Hollis and Elizabeth,
Thank you for all your efforts for my dinner party last Friday night. The food was delicious and Sherry did a fantastic job. Everybody commented that she was extremely pleasant, but not intrusive. That's just about perfect in my book. I appreciated your help in the menu choices ... Everything was a huge hit. The appetizers were out of this world! The dinner party was a grand success and I enjoyed being "queen for the day" and not having to do anything except the fun stuff!
Thank you again. I hope I'll be able to enjoy a Parties by Panache in my future too!
