Kelly & Betty B.
Dear Personal Touch Catering,
This was my Mom and my first year without my Dad. Our first year not having "Thanksgiving at Home". Mom and I had Thanksgiving at "Events on Broadway" last Thursday. We did not have a reservation, but we were welcomed warmly by your awesome staff:) The food was amazing! Staff was very friendly & awesome. I can not express enough how much better our holiday was because of your wonderful catering services. I will be telling others about your service. Thank you so much for making our holiday so much brighter!
Denise W.- Coastal Womens Health
I would like to say "thank you very much" for the excellent buffet of food. Everyone loved it and it was the talk of the day. All the food was hot and was delicious. I gave your name and number out to several people and gave you rave reviews. Thank you again and Happy Holidays!
Patti S.- Curtis Thaxter Attorney at Law
Thank you. I have to say that people have NOT stopped talking about how excellent the food was, the service - everything. Pam, Andrew and Mary were great as well. A number of people have asked me for your contact information. Thanks again to you, Kevin and your staff!
Stephanie D. - Sacopee Valley Middle School
To whom it may concern:
My students were tasked with describing their favorite meals focusing on the writing trait of choice. Your restaurant inspired some descriptive language from this student, and I though I would forward you the essay for your enjoyment.
Thanks for serving a meal that elicits such descriptive language! I got hungry just reading this essay.
Brittany: The Mystery of The Chocolate Chip Pancakes
For some mystery with your meal, try a triple layer of chocolate chips, with chips popping -out of the pancake. Our heavenly chocolate chip pancakes have three layers of chocolate chips, on bottom, in the middel, and an extended layer if requested on top. The pancakes themselves are fluffy, and bring joy to the faces of the customers. The average number of pancakes per meal is two. These mighty pancakes are the size of the plate,
The pancakes will feel fluffy, and joyful, in your mouth. To balance out the fluffiness, you should include either hot fresh sausage, or crispy, sizzling bacon to the meal,
Peter S. - Batmitzvah
Thank you for your assistance in providing an excellent cook-out for our daughter's Batmitzvah party last month in Freeport. The food got rave reviews all around and the service was professional & courteous. It was great being able to attend to our guests knowing that the food was expertly taken care of. Our best for continued success and we look forward to working with you again in the future.
Katie R. - Wedding
I wanted to say a HUGE Thank you for everything. I can't believe how well everything went. I threw you guys a lot of curve balls and I totally appreciate you working to accommodate all my wacky ideas! People are raving about the food. I get an email or phone call at least once a day from friends and family telling me how they had so much fun and that the food was the best wedding food they have ever had. The appetizers were incredible and plentiful and the dinner wasjust amazing. Can you please pass along a HUGE Thanks to the Chef that was there for her amazing work. You and your staff did such an amazing job and my family and I are so appreciative of everything. You made us look really good! I know the island may have been a bit of a trek for you guys. There are usually 2-3 events a year that require catering and I will happily recommend you if you would like! Please feel free to pass along my info it you ever need a reference. I can't say thank you enough, so I will just say it once again, THANK YOU! You guys are the best.
A new recommendation for THE ROOST has been published on Eventective!
I attended a wedding at THE ROOST last August. Do not judge this venue by the outside! The interior is very rustic with lots of wood, and a balcony going all the way around a dance floor that can also double as an area for more tables. In our case, we had the tables all around the dance floor, and everyone was able to focus on the bride's dance with her father, as well as the rest of the dancing that took place. I forgot who the DJ was, but it was easy for him to set up and sounded great. All in all, I'd recommend THE ROOST to anyone that just wanted to have a great time with family friends for an event like a wedding reception. It's a very versatile hall, and the catering is done on-site.
Rev. Francis - New England Bible College
Recommendation: After taking too long to locate a space for our annual banquet, we began to panic. Eventective found a nearby but relatively unknown spot for us in South Portland called "Events on Broadway". Our initial meeting with the owner was favorable, and we were impressed at their willingness to craft a menu that fit our budget rather than giving us a list of food options. On the night of the event, everything went perfectly! The meal was on time, the food was excellent, and the service was superb. We would highly recommend Events on Broadway based upon our experience!
Rhonda G.- C.M.P.
I hope you all survived Irene without too much damage. I just want to thank you for your services last Friday. All were very happy with the food selection and flavor. Mary and Andy were wonderful and friendly ( I had a few laughs with Mary myself). Those two just went to town when they arrived and couldn't have been more pleasant. We will certainly keep "Personal Touch Catering" in mind for future events. Thanks Again!!
Elizabeth S. - HM Payson
Just wanted to extend a thank you from HM Payson for your services at our event last night. Everyone had a great time. Thanks Again!
Sybil R. - Wedding
Once again this event was a huge success. The food was excellent, the staff, wonderful and the whole event perfect!! The addition of the big tent made it very comfortable for everyone, they could move around easily, it was shady, and of course we had the wonderful ocean breeze to cool us off.
I know it was a very busy day for all of you, and I personally appreciate the way this event went so smoothly. You are good!
I also heard about "Phat Boys Diner". I have a summer camp in N. Waterboro, and love Cornish. I will see you there some time soon.
David & Katie C - Wedding
I just wanted to thank your for everything!! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and everything was exactly how I imagined it. I had the best time and can't believe it's over already. You guys were amazing!

Angie L. - The Woods at Canco
Kevin,
I just wanted to tell you what a WONDERFUL time my residents has at last night's Sunday Night Jazz Buffet with the Edith Jones Project. I myself was unable to make it, so our other bus driver took a group of eight who were just thrilled with the whole evening. Unfortunately, it hadn't made our calendar, so I think a few people missed out that would have liked to come. That being said, I would love to plan another outing in April and am just now making up my calendar....do you by chance know who your artists will be for the month of April? I look forward to hearing from you, and to meeting you myself(hopefully) next month!
Thanks!

Again- The word buzzing around the department by people who worked the event and attended the event, is that you came through in a huge way......as always! People are EXTREMELY happy with the Hannaford presentation at the events, and you were a MAJOR part of that.
I am glad that this business relationship has grown to a true level of comfort between us. You do incredible work, and you and your staff as always, professional. Top Notch!

Peter M. - Executive Chef, National Contracting Food Service Company
I know I told you this yesterday, but I think it bears repeating. Your catering at my niece's wedding was superb, and it made me proud to be associated with you. You nailed the theme and intent of the event, presented your food wonderfully, and everything was delicious. Working in many venues I have seen more elegent weddings, more lavish weddings, but never have I seen any that so captured the essenses of the people being married. I know my sister was well pleased, and I heard several compliments among the guests. You can be very proud of your staff and all that you have accomplished to build your business in the manner in which you have. I know first-hand the labor hours and planning that goes into these events. Thanks so much.

Thank you, all involved with the luncheon for our Board of Trustees! There were many compliments about the delicious food; the roasted vegetable and cheese torta received rave reviews. I was present for the luncheon and was very pleased with the offerings and the taste of the food. I was not present at dinner but I heard that it was even better than lunch! Everyone was very pleased. Thank you again and we will certainly call you again for our next event.

Sorry about the mix up with the napkins and the 4" vs 6" plates, you handled it like a pro as usual.....I hope the rest of the event went well for you.
Superb customer service all around, I cannot tell you how relieved I was to hear that you guys were back on board again this year - your team makes this event as far as I'm concerned!!

Dear Friends at Personal Touch Catering,
Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job at our Building Dedication Ceremony. Everyone loved the food and the cake was perfect. You are a terrific team to work with ---Thank you
Kally M.- TD Bank
On behalf of the TD Bank Conversion Team, we would like to express our thanks for an excellent job this past weekend. The bank consultants were extremely pleased with the presentation, and quality of your food that was prepared. There was nothing but rants and raves on how great the 3 Cheese Lasagna was and spinach appetizers. Desserts were above and beyond our expectations. Our consultants were working the entire weekend and overnight hours and food was an important factor in keeping them going. Working an entire weekend is stressful enough, but having good food really relieves the tension.
We appreciate your flexiblity and pulling this together. Special Thanks to Sundae for working with us on menus and being flexible with the delivery times. She was really a great help to me in making the ordering process run smoothly, no matter how many changes we had.
Denise I. - Maine Center for Cancer Medicine
I just wanted to Thank you for making the reception go so well. The food was fantastic. The scallops were a big hit, great recipe. Everyone commented how delicious the food was and asked who catered the meal! Thanks again for another terrific event.
Carol C. - Champagne Energy
Thank you so much for providing a wonderful BBQ for our employee party last Saturday. The food was great! The "Fall-of-the-bones Ribs, BBQ Chicken, very tasty baked beans, salads, and all the rest of the food was absolutely delicious! A+ on the desserts! The presentation was beautiful - the staff was very professional - they came in on time, set everything up, served and then cleaned up. We wouldn't have even known they were there except for our full bellies! Thanks again!
Annette W. - Wedding
The food and staff you provided for Jeff and Ashley's wedding was outstanding! The food was flavorful and perfectly cooked. My young niece and nephew (4 and 6 years old) both devoured the ribs at the rehearsal dinner - WE ALL DID!! The haddock at the wedding was amazing. I can't believe you were able to feed us haddock at a buffet and not have it over cooked. My nephew Scott is a vegan and there was plenty for him to eat with the salads and grilled vegetables.
Your staff was professional and friendly and very responsive when we brought anything to their attention. It was a wonderful wedding to begin with, but it was greatly enhanced by your wonderful food and service!!
James H. - Mad Horse Theatre Company
Just wanted to say "Thanks" yet again for letting Mad Horse Theater use Events on Broadway for our benefit. It was a good learning experience for us, plus we managed to raise about $1000 toward the repairs for the Hutchins School. Lots of people remarked to me how nice your venue is and I wish only the best for its continued success. You may even see me at one of your "Jazz Buffets"!

Linda S., Yvette G. & Roger G. Jr. - Funeral at Events on Broadway
We had an after funeral service luncheon at Events on Broadway. It was a bitter cold day and when we arrived at the hall, there was a coffee/tea station all set up for the cold attendees of the service. It was a great idea. The food was ready and warm and plentiful. It was also very good. We were pleasantly surprised as we did not know about this new function hall. The staff were great and made us feel like family and at home. They anticipated our needs and were superb. Thank you for making a difficult day a bit easier by taking care of all of our guests.
