I doubt that you give your recipes out but would you just let me

know how you cooked the lobster for the salad and what the dressing was? one of our guests (who loves to cook) said it was the best salad he had ever eaten! I'm sure you have lots of references but if you ever need one, we are happy to let your clients know how pleased we were with everything.

I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for such a wonderful dinner on the beach.  It was perfect.  I know that you put a lot of effort into the menu and set-up, and it was certainly appreciated.

Hi Kim, I wanted to let you know that we've decided to move the rehearsal dinner to a local restaurant in Grayton.  I truly appreciate all the help/answers you've given me and I'm really disappointed that we will not be using Dine by Design.  However, the extra rentals/fees required to have the dinner at the Motor Court really blew our budget.  So, our decision was definitely not due to your own prices or work.  Actually, you're the only caterer that really seemed interested in doing the dinner for us.  Many didn't even respond. I would recommend you just on your responsiveness and business sense alone! Thanks again for all you help! Jennifer

Kim, Thanks for the wonderful dinner. The clams were awesome and the tuna tartare in the little cones knocked our socks off. See you next year!

Kim-
Jessie and I can't thank you enough for the delicious
food and excellent service that you and your staff
provided at our wedding Everything was PERFECT!

I've seen a couple of pictures from the wedding of me carrying a

plate full of food. Several of my married friends told me before
the wedding that I would probably not have time to
eat, or not remember eating if I did eat. Well, I
definitely took the time to eat, and I definitely
remember all of the food. Everything was so delicious
and exactly what we wanted! Many of our guests have
also told us how much they enjoyed the food and the
beautiful presentation of everything. Thanks again to
you and your staff for helping to make our special day
even more perfect.

Follow up from Lisa a year later:

 I am writing to you with a rather strange question. You catered my wedding last November at the Royal Flush in Santa Rosa Beach (11/4/06). I was wondering if you happened to have any pictures of the food you served at the wedding? I have very few pictures of the food, and it was absolutely amazing!!! I would like to include some pictures in my photo albums. If you don't have any pictures or don't have the time to email them, I completely understand...just thought I would ask. I hope all is well with you and your crew. We were planning to spend our first anniversary in Santa Rosa Beach this month, but I am unable to travel right now as I am pregnant with twin boys!
Thanks again - Lisa

Kim,

 Hello Kim,       

Thanks again for a lovely reception.  I'm still getting comments from 
people about the wonderful food and how wonderful you and your staff 
were.  It all went so smoothly, especially considering we were 
literally piecing this all together as we went.  If you ever need a 
letter, call, or e-mail of recommendation, please let me know.

I found one of your Dine by Design aprons when I cleaned up the beach 
house and dropped it in the mail to you yesterday.

 "Kim's recipes combine the best of eating healthy and enjoying fabulous foods. The colors jump from the plate and guests remember each and every bite."

Dear Kim,

If you would like to see the wedding pictures here is the link. There are some great shots of the food and of people enjoying it!  Our guests thought it outstanding, as did we.  Thanks again for your contribution and your hard work.
Trish, Destin

Your food was fabulous! Thanks for making our dinner so very enjoyable ... and we look forward to continuing our relationship with you.  

PS:  I’ve been asked by several of the girls to ask if you share your “fennel salad” recipe?

From Maureen, who got away!
I want you to know though, how much I appreciated your continued patience and all the hours you put into working with me on a menu--even when you knew I was looking around at other caterers.  You are such a professional Kim and I really respect you.  I wish you a great holiday season and and enjoyable wedding season in '08.

Kim, I wanted to thank you for providing such a delicious menu under tough circumstances. My family loved everything. Comments I heard were that everything was so fresh and good. It was a healthy menu with many choices and flavors. Thank you so much for working with me on the menu. All the Cuban sandwiches were gone later that night thanks to the college boys and midnight snacking! We loved it and I really appreciate the difficulty of delivering such great food on a sailboat on a rainy night! We will call you again for our next event in Destin.

Carol, Destin

Kim, I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful food at the wedding. We had SO MANY compliments on our food- the most popular was the Memphis Martini, the Tequila Shrimp, and the Crab Cakes. They were all so innovative and delicious. We have some really picky eaters in our family, and we pleased everyone. I was so happy with how everything was plated, how it tasted, and how much attention you paid to detail. Your staff was great and very friendly, and I can’t thank you enough. I’ll definitely recommend you to anyone who needs a caterer in your area. Thanks again for everything! You’re the best! Clare, Miramar Beach
