"It was such a pleasure to work with Leslie and her staff at the Budding Gourmet for the Timothy Dwight Elementary School 2006 Spring Auction. Their enthusiasm, professionalism, and creativity brought our event to a new level, and helped us raise a lot of money for the school!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Leslie’s party planning business, and her truly fabulous store...except perhaps that Budding Gourmet has and does it all!!!"

     "I just wanted to tell you how wonderful you all were at Jane's wedding on Saturday. Even with people crowded around because of the shift from outdoors to indoors, everyone operated with efficiency and grace. And you were a remarkable presence, guiding and directing everyone with a calmness that left us feeling as though nothing could go wrong. The food was delicious. It was truly the best catered food I have ever had. Everything was spiced perfectly and there wasn't anything that was mediocre. It was all outstanding. Thank you to you and your crew for a celebration that will be long remembered."

"I just wanted to thank you again for all your help with our recent cocktail party. Everything went so smoothly. The food was wonderful and our guests really enjoyed themselves - as did Michael and I! We couldn't have done it without you!  We look forward to working with you again."
