Lauren Zingaro and Jimmy Toth Wedding – Hackensack, NJ

July 30th, 2008

Dear Chuck & Laura,

Jimmy and I have nothing but fond memories from our wedding and also of Take Away Gourmet. You did such a fantastic job both in the planning stages and on the day of the event. You went far beyond just “catering” and made the day go smoothly for everyone (i.e. our vegetarian friends, kid friendly food for our fussy nieces and nephews and of course the high maintenance bride).

We were so impressed at how seamless everything appeared. We know that much of that was due to a lot of hard work behind the scenes with everyone involved at Take Away Gourmet. It is a rarity, even in the professional world, that someone is able to listen to requests and specifications and then follow through with them; but you were able to do just that. Everything from arranging a room beautifully for an extended cocktail party to the cutting of the cake – was exactly how we imagined it would be. You were available to communicate and discuss ideas, even when you undoubtedly had other more immediate concerns.

The staff was also amazingly adaptable and well organized; not to mention that the food was delicious.  We enjoyed our tasting back in March; of course we were wondering if it could possibly be as good the day of, and for almost 200 people. It WAS!! Chuck, you are an incredible chef; and the presentation of the food was beautiful, too.

We are so glad we hired Take Away Gourmet to cater our wedding. You served the role of a “wedding planner” in so many ways. Your organization, communication and excellent food make yours a first-class business. We wish you all of the best in future endeavors and hope to use you again.

Lauren Zingaro-Toth
