"Good Morning Ruth,
I wanted to thank you for the excellent food and service you and your team provided at the engagement party last weekend. Everyone loved the food and commented on how delicious it was. Even the grandchildren loved the food!
The table presentation looked beautiful. All of the guests felt cared for and were well fed. Your attention to detail was greatly appreciated.
Thank you for all you did to make this a special evening for Courtney and Chris.
Sincerely,
Pat P."

Victoria's Fruit Display
One of Teatime's most beloved staffers, Victoria, was married this past October. Teatime catered her Hawaiian themed couple's shower. We wanted to do something special with our fruit display, something crafted especially for the bride and groom. This spectacular fruit arrangement features fresh pineapple, papaya, strawberries, cantaloupe melon, honeydew melon, fresh coconuts, and radish orchids made from daikon radishes. The bride and groom were to honeymoon in Maui, so the menu reflected the islands with Hula Hula Chicken Thighs, Coconut Shrimp, A Mixed Green Salad w/ Fresh Mango and Raspberry Vinaigrette, and appetizers that featured Ruth's Tropical Salsa w/ Tortilla Chips. The bride was radiant (as always)!
Holiday Parties, The Shrimp Has Arrived!
For an alternative to the classic shrimp cocktail, Teatime has created this sumptuous shrimp appetizer. An enormous shallow glass bowl with marinated jumbo chilled shrimp with garlic, fresh limes, fresh dill, olive oil. Fantastic offering for New Year's Eve party, or New Year's Day brunch.

Great Referral!
From time to time we receive a written referral from one of our past clients. I am including one from a delightful bride and groom, Mariana and Jeff, for whom we catered a wedding at Thomas Birkby House, http://www.birkbyhouse.com/ recently. A prospecitve new bride for spring 08 asked me for referrals, and this is the response from Mariana and Jeff:
"Ruth from Teatime provided us with service for our wedding in May 07. Ruth and her staff are very, very professional, the food was excellent!!! Months before our wedding we chose the menu, we told her what we liked , what we didn't like in foods in general. We came up with the perfect menu, after that we had the trial for the food, it was exquisite and immediately we decided to go with Teatime.
Ruth was working with us in every single step concerning food, tables, china, timetable, etc. and the delicious Wedding Cake! She will make the wedding cake you want. I can send you the pictures of our cake, beautiful!
They made a beautiful display of the tables and the food table was perfect, everything was at the right temperature, everybody in the wedding was very happy with the food. Regarding the price, we told her an estimated number of guests and one week before the wedding we changed the numbers and added more. She didn't have any problem, the price she gave us at the beginning was the price we ended up paying plus a little bit more for the people that we added at the last moment.
My husband and I did a lot of research for our wedding and Ruth's prices are very food for the excellent service she provides. I just have the best things to say about Teatime, and Ruth kept away a lot of pressure from us during that special day because she was soooo in charge of her part of the wedding without being put in the middle of the people. I have the best memory. I highly recommend Teatime for weddings, they help make our special day a perfect one!"
Husband Jeff also joined in with kind words, adding:
"I agree, both the food and staff were very professional. Throughout the whole planning and conduct of the event, Ruth and her staff were responsive yet out of the way when necessary. Getting food to 70 guests without the guests noticing their presence too much is the mark of a pro to me."
And I have to include here that Jeff and Mariana were two of the sweetest and gracious clients I have ever worked with. Best of luck to them both!
