"This is just an email to say thank you to you and your team for the excellent work you did on Friday. The committee has received a lot of praise about the food, in particular the fajitas and falafels (which were exceedingly popular, as I'm sure you know!). Dan and I couldn't be happier with the high level of service you gave us, and I would particularly like to thank you for saving me from potential disaster with the chocolate fountains! The fact that you came and helped us despite the fact that it wasn't in your contract is a testament to your company and yourselves. Friday night was an all-round success and it certainly would not have been possible without Crucial's help. On behalf of the 2010 committee, I would like to say a massive thank you and let you know that I will definitely be recommending you to next year's committee."

Please pass my thanks on to Justin and his team for such a great job on Saturday. Everyone so enjoyed the buffet and the fondue which really enhanced the theme. The party was a great success and a good time was had by all thanks to the good food, good staff, a good band and good company. We will recommend your services with much confidence and we will certainly use you again in the future.

“Just a quick note to say how wonderful you and the team were on the big day. Thanks also for all the advice you gave us leading up to it. Everyone said how wonderful the food was (In fact the best wedding food EVER!) I particularly loved the crepes – great idea!
Thanks again - you helped make our wedding celebrations truly special.”

“We are just writing to say a HUGE thank you for making our wedding day at Anstey Hall so very special. I think you know how much we enjoyed all the special stylish touches, from the delicious canapés to the whole wonderful menu with its balance of flavours, textures and colours – a whole visual culinary feast. The chocolate cake was – without exaggerating – the BEST chocolate cake we had ever eaten – so rich and so light. Thanks again,"

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you to yourself and all of your team: thank you for all of the help in preparation (and for putting up with numerous changes along the way!) before the Ball; and on the night you were all fantastic! Everything went like clockwork, and the food and service was amazing. I hope you are now fully recovered from May Week (I know it must have been a long one for you!) I'm really happy that I got to work with you, and would like to wish you every success for the future. Thanks so much once again."

"I just wanted to say a big thank you to you both, and also to all your staff who were involved in our May Ball on Friday. It was a pleasure to work with such a brilliant company, and one who provided THE most concise technical requirements and H&S forms! I felt that I could completely rely on you during the night which made my evening slightly more enjoyable! We have had so many positive comments about the food."
Alison - Homerton College May Ball 2009
"Thank you so much for all your hard work during, and before, the ball. Everyone I have spoken to had a wonderful time and the food went down a storm - especially the sausage & mash and the fajitas which people raved about in particular. It all seemed to work really smoothly too, with everyone being served quickly, and it was great for me knowing you were there overseeing everything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to next year's committee in my report. "
