We used VIP's Grand Events for the Grand
Opening of our Rogers-Dabbs HUMMER dealership. There is not enough I can say
about the work done by the employees of VIP's Grand Events. The staff was a true
pleasure to work withy. They worked hard for us and truly made our event
spectacular. The food was out of this world. Everyone who attended our event
complimented the food and decorations, which were also done by VIP's Grand
Events. It was like one-stop shopping, they took care of everything for me.
Every aspect of their work exceeded our expectations and was instrumental in
making our event a huge success. Please feel free to call me for references.

What can I say? The food and the service at our wedding was outstanding!! I
still have people compliment me on the asparagus rolls and the artichoke dip.
You and your servers took care of us from the moment you arrived, and I can't
thank you enough. The tables were beautiful, the servers were attentive and the
food was plentiful and delicious! Thank you also for the take out box - Drew and
I were so hungry that night, and it was a wonderful treat to snack on in our
honeymoon suite. Thank you for making my wedding the event of a lifetime. Feel
free to use me as a reference should you so desire. Rest assured, your name is
first on the list when friends ask me about quality catering.
