Rustic Food Custom Catering ~ Thousands of happy memories, contented guests and satisfied clients since 2001
Elaine,
Thank you so much for everything you have done the past couple months. Yesterday was a dream come true and much of that was because of you. I can't tell you how many "meat eaters" complemented the chef, so please pass it on to Nikko. Not only was his food fantastic, but he was the nicest guy ever! Your whole crew was so professional and kind, the day went without a hitch... at least from my end. Thank you again for everything! We are so happy!
All Our Gratitude,
Sarah & Mike, Washington, NJ
Elaine,
I just wanted to tell you how delicious everything was. Great reviews everyone loved the food and the staff was excellent! Thank you for making my sons first birthday a memorable one! Will definitely will use you in the future for any upcoming events my husband and I may plan.
Thanks again!

Hi Elaine!
Everything was great, thank you so much! It all tasted great and even looked fantastic -- I really appreciated how pretty the artichoke dip was. The carnivores loved the chicken, the vegetarians loved the grilled veggies and polenta, everyone was happy and the whole process couldn't have been easier.
I may never cook for a party again. Thanks very much indeed! :-)
Best,

Hi Elaine,
We just wanted to thank you very much for preparing such great food for our wedding. Everyone who attended has been raving about how good the food was and how professional and helpful your staff was. It was brought to my attention that your staff was helping to take peoples coats, arranging flowers and just being extremely friendly to everyone. In my opinion, food makes a party and you certainly made the party. Gary and I thank you for making our day such a success. I would highly recommend you to anyone who wants to have a memorable day. Thank you

Elaine,
The event was a big hit as was the catering. I was very pleased with you(r) performance – it was something I did not have to worry about all night. Your professionalism and referrals were very helpful. If and when we do this again – we would use you and I will also be more than happy to be a reference. I am already referring your company to others.
Thanks again.

Hi Elaine,
Thank you so much! We received countless compliments on how delicious the food was. Everything was so good! It was so beautifully presented, and your set-up made everything so easy. The menu was exactly what we were hoping for, and we wouldn't change a thing - everything was perfect. The shower was a major success, and the bride was thrilled (and shocked - this was a surprise shower and she absolutely loved it!) and we couldn't have had a better day. Thanks for playing such a major role in the success of the shower!
Several people in attendance took your business cards, and we will most definitely use you in the future if an occasion arises. I'm so happy we found you and you were available; you provided exactly what we needed and it really made the event very special. Thanks again!

Hi Elaine,
Hope you had a relaxing weekend. I am writing because I have another event. First off I should mention that I was so impressed with the job you did last week that I wondered if you could quote me for my personal event (note I have to be much more cost conscious)
I am hosting my engagement / housewarming for my family & friends at my NYC condo and am in need to a caterer for lunch / appetizers.

Dear Elaine:
I can't thank you enough for helping to make my 50th birthday party a success. The food was definitely one of the highlights of the evening. It was innovative and delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. So many of the guests commented about how great ALL the food was. Also, the service was thorough, unobtrusive, and impeccable. All of your staff were gracious and professional. I also wanted to let you know how pleasant and easy it was to work with you. From choosing the food, to the linens, to set up and take down, it was a pleasure. So thank you so much. I look forward to working with you the next time I have an event.
Sincerely,
Jessica, Glen Ridge, NJ
Hi Elaine,
I just wanted to let you know how great everything went last night. Everything from start to finish was excellent. And I cannot say enough good things about both Bobby and Laurie. Thank you so much and you can count on hearing from us again. By the way, I come from a large family many of whom use their own caterers and as far as my husband and I are concerned, we feel that both the food and service you provide exceeds anything we have encountered before. Needless to say we have already passed your information on to them and hope that they will give you a try one day as well.
Thanks again Elaine!
Kim, Alpine, NJ
Hi Elaine:
The dinner party was a huge success!!! Bobby and Troy took care of everything. They were very professional. Don and I were really able to enjoy the party and not worry about a thing. The hors d' oeuvres and deserts were wonderful. Everyone had a great time!
Thank you and I guarantee you will be hearing from us again soon!

Thank you so much for such an excellent job at my husband's 40th birthday, which you catered last night. Our guests were raving about the food and your staff was so attentive, competent and patient! What a professional operation! I felt great that the food was not only delicious but inventive and served so nicely. I was able to relax from the get go and have a lovely time at the party!
Thank you and I will be pleased to recommend you in the future!

Hi Elaine!
Just wanted to let you know how great everything was! The food was presented beautifully and tasted delicious, and the servers were a delight to work with-so friendly and helpful! I'd be happy to write an official testimonial for your website or serve as a reference.
Thanks for everything-and I certainly look forward to working with you again!

Dear Mrs. D;
Elaine Rust of Rustic Food gave me your name as a reference. We are hosting a cocktail party next month in our home for 50 guests and I am planning to use Rustic Food as the caterer. I was wondering if you could let me know how satisfied you were with Rustic Food as a caterer for your event.
How would you rate the food that was served in terms of presentation, quantity, taste, variety, etc.? Beautiful simple trays and platter. Both the table as well as the passed trays were decorated. As for the taste, variety and quantity my guests ate until they couldn't anymore and we had fantastic leftovers for a few days
How would you rate the staff in terms of professionalism and reliability? Did they deliver what they said they would? Were they on time? Were they friendly? Did they set up and clean up to your satisfaction? The entire team from Elaine to the chef, servers and bartender were very professional, friendly and respectful of my home. They arrived on time despite a snow storm and when they left my dishes and glasses were washed, stacked and the food was in the refrigerator in marked containers with the garbage out.
How would you rate the overall value of the food and service for the money you paid? This is hard for me as that was the first time I ever used as caterer as I have always cooked for my parties. I can say however that I agree with my husband's comment - "It's like you are a favorite guest at someone else's wonderful party" I will be using her again without hesitation.
