"Hey Bill, I would like to take a moment and personally thank your team for their work with us Friday night in the swamp. We started off with a logistically challenging task ahead of us, and then the rain set in. Jerry and the team dug in with me, and turned the impossible into seamless. Our clients said that it was one of the most impressive dinners they have ever been to, and could not believe that it was happening in the middle of the swamp. They were all given a once in a lifetime experience, that they will never forget. We could not have pulled this off without the hard work and support of your team. I am proud to be associated with you, and look forward to many more successful events with Bill Hansen Catering. Please extend a special thank you to Jerry, and each team member involved."

We can not thank you enough for all that you and your staff did to make it happen. Thank You!"

If you find any other wonderful venues like the Alfred Dupont building, let me know and we can book 2010 right now.”

"Dear Janet and Bill Hansen Catering Team,
I wanted to extend our gratitude to the miracles you were able to achieve for us at our October Bentley Car Launch at the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami.
Janet McDonald personally walked us through every nook and cranny of the museum to familiarize our team with the whole operating system of the historic site. Based on their numerous experiences at the museum, she gave us detailed suggestions of ideal locations to be utilized for our car launch right down to the placement of our car! She never once flinched at our constant changes and multiple questions throughout our planning process. More importantly the catering team’s patience and responsiveness to us as we finalized details right up until a half an hour before the launch is a quality of service to be admired and respected!
Janet and the whole team treated us like family and cared for every aspect of our event. They continuously went above and beyond their call of duty and such work cannot go without commendation and great appreciation.
Thank you for working side by side with us to produce a fabulous car launch!"
