Hi Tom,

I've been meaning to email you for the past couple of weeks! Sorry its taken so long, just to say thank you so so much for the amazing meal you cooked for us for mums 60th in New Quay! It was absolutely delicious, and made for such a special evening! (Once I had calmed down from the boy's last minute booze run...!) But the main thing was that mum loved it, it really was a fantastic way to celebrate her birthday, safe in the knowledge the kiddies were sound asleep upstairs! Perfect. 

Thanks again, and also to your lovely waitress

best wishes

Hi Tom,

I realise that Zoë has already emailed to say thank you but I just wanted to re iterate how thankful we are for the part you had to play in our perfect day.

You were so helpful in the days and weeks before the wedding helping us fine tune the reception. You completely understood what we wanted on the day. On the Friday you prepared everything and were very considerate of the pressure everyone was under. On the day the food itself was absolutely brilliant and everybody was so impressed. Also, as requested there was more than enough food and no one went hungry! 

The staff were all so friendly, we heard many stories from our friends and family saying how well cared for they and their children in particular were. If they are regulars of yours please do pass on our thanks.

Finally on a personal note Zoë and I really appreciated you coming to great us and congratulate us when we arrived at the hall. Also it was very kind of you to make sure we got a (delicious) plate to eat 

We're just in the departure hall for our honeymoon and are reminiscing about the day. Thank you so much for playing a very important part very well.

We look forward to the next time (perhaps in Lampeter when you next rent that little cafe). Sincerely,
Zoë and Vincewww.holdenscatering.com
