Dear Jaymie and Tommy ~
It is late and I am exhausted but I had to write you before I went to sleep.
There are not enough words to tell you how fabulous our party was and how happy Glenn & I are.
From the absolutely delicious, beautifully presented food to your amazing staff I am almost speechless but it was truly an amazing night! Your staff totally rocks. They were so professional, helpful and nice. From the minute they arrived they had everything under control to the utmost level. They cleaned until I told them to stop {even sweep out my garage!!!} Everyone was raving about the food.....couldn't stop talking about how much they were overeating because it was so delicious!!!
The two of you should be extremely proud of what you have created and how respected you both are..... the community can love ya but when your staff does.... that is the true sign.
So thank you for tonight!
Love you guys,
XOXOXO
Lori and Glenn Greenbaum
