Patty,
Lunch was terrific. Thank you! And there was plenty of food. After the secretaries ate, the attorneys came in and all ate, so I'm sure there was nothing left.
They asked for your info, and I passed it along, so hopefully you'll be hearing from them; you'll certainly be hearing from me!
Thanks again,
Barbara
Parties by Patty served over 200 of my employees on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. The food was fantastic, the servcie was incredible, and my employees were happy. Patty is easy to work with and the pricing fit into my small budget. I highly recommend Parties by Patty to anyone looking for a top notch caterer.
Sincerely,

"Dear Patty,
Andrew and I wanted to take a moment to thank you sincerely for everything you did for us for our wedding. Living in Minnesota, I was so stressed about how we would manage to plan our New Mexico wedding, and knew I should hire a planner to delegate some tasks to. I called about ten different planners so that I could comparison shop before choosing one, and you were the only one that answered your phone. I left messages for the other planners and never heard back; but every time I called you--day or night--you answered your phone, devoted as much time to me as I needed, and were always very sweet and enthusiastic. That is the reason I chose you as my wedding planner, and I am so glad I did. Throughout the next year of planning, your constant availability continued, and I truly felt like I was your only bride. Andrew and my mom commented on this as well. To this day, I have no idea how you manage to give that kind of attention to all of your brides and still find time to eat, sleep, and spend time with your family!
As much as I'd like to believe that you just really took a strong liking to me, it's obvious that your constant availability and devotion to giving me a perfect wedding day was a reflection of how much you just really love your job. I think that there are certain people that are simply made to do what they do. Patty, you were made to be a wedding planner! You understood exactly the statement I was trying to make with every detail, and you pulled it off with storybook precision. You know your vendors well, and they listen to you and do what you say. Even the vendors that I chose told me on several occasions how great you were to work with, and that I was in really good hands with you. From the flowers, to the decor, to the food, and the cake, you created for us an absolute fairytale. On several occasions throughout our wedding, Andrew and I looked at each other and said, "Can you beleive this is our wedding?" And it wasn't as if this was a $50,000 wedding. You simply knew exactly where to spend money, and where to cut costs to give us the most bang for our buck. People are still telling us that ours was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to!
Again, Patty, thank you so much for making our wedding day so special. I've said it before and I'll say it again: hiring you was the best money we spent on our entire wedding! I would advise every bride to hire you because it will allow them to enjoy their day. Weddings go by so fast, and so many couples spend that time stressing over all the details. Having you with me through the entire process allowed me to sit back, take it all in, and enjoy it. We are so grateful for everything you did for us. Now all I have to figure out is who I'm going to call everyday now that you aren't planning my wedding anymore! Do you think it's too early for us to renew our vows???
We love you, Patty! Thanks again for everything!"
Sincerely,
- Andrew and Meaghan Bryan

Patty,
We certainly did think that you were an enormous help for Stacey and Donnan's wedding. You kept us on time and moving through the events of the evening. The toasts worked out well for both the rehearsal dinner and for the wedding reception. Since we didn't hire you for planning everything, it was a miracle that it all fell in place, but it did.
"I enjoyed meeting with you in February and appreciated that you drove through the 9" of snow from Albuquerque. It was helpful to go over the major plans with you then. I hope our lists helped you figure out what we wanted and who was in charge of what. This wedding was a team plan, and we tried to keep everyone in the loop. If we failed to communicate something important to you, you might want to figure out how to force people to release the information you need if you are not planning the whole wedding.Communication is difficult when people are spread all over the place, but it worked at this wedding pretty well. Thanks for everything."
- Tammy Steele

"Thanks again for doing this on such short notice (especially since you just walked in the door from vacation!). Everyone loved it. And….you know me…I will pass the word on your business"

"I wanted to thank you for your excellent care you gave to our Thanksgiving Lunch for the KNME-TV Volunteers. Some of our volunteers have been with the station for more than 20 years. We consider them to be "Our Stars".
Since I was not going to available during that lunch, I was a little worried. When I returned, I was more than pleasantly surprised. Everyone couldn't say enough about how delicious the food was. Not only was the food being praised, but the presentation of the food and the decorations you provided for that holiday lunch was over and above what was expected. Needless to say, I was more than pleased. Even those who are more difficult to please were getting in line to express their pleasure in the Lunch.
So again, I thank you. Hopefully, after the holidays we will be able to arrange another event."

"Hi Patty.
Just wanted to send you a note to thank you for the awesome job you and your staff did for my party on Aug. 09, 2008. I was very impressed with your attention to detail. All of my guests went on and on about how good the food was and also the presentation. You made my 50th birthday one to remember. I will highly recommend you to all of my friends and clients. I know you will be up to whatever challenge comes your way. Also, thanks for the tip on the Inn @ Paradise! Beautiful place. Once again, thank you so much."

"Mark and I just wanted to give you a huge "KUDOS" and say thank-you for making our luau Wedding reception/first anniversary celebration a huge success. We appreciated the fact that you were willing to come to Henderson, NV to work with our chef and his staff. Both of you coordinated and complimented each other beautifully. The set-up, decorations, and the food were thoroughly enjoyed by all of our guests. They were in awe and we received quite a few notes from our friends thanking us for inviting them to such a gala event.
Guests commented that they really felt like they were in Hawaii with our tropical patio set-up, Hawaiian entertainer and hula girl, Fresh flower leis flown in from Hawaii, the bird of paradise napkin folds, tiki torches and the traditional Hawaiian fare. Even our native Hawaiian friends commented that they were impressed on how much the whole celebration really felt like home.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and willingness to go the extra miles to achieve perfection!! We would highly recommend you to anyone who was interested in utilizing an expert party planner for their next special event."

"Parties by Patty provided our office a needed dose of fun and sociability with customized parties that included a Hawaiian Luau, an ice cream social, and a strawberry shortcake break! The parties were a great reward for our hard-working employees and allowed us to tear away from our computers and have a little fun. Parties by Patty did all of the planning and worked within our budget. So for companies looking to add a little spice to their business social functions, Parties by Patty is a way to go!"
