Client Reviews

Here is a sampling of what our clients tell us…

"I can't even begin to thank you enough for our delicious lunches that you provided for us over the past two days here at Tucker High School. We had several visitors from all over the east coast along with several parents of students and they were absolutely thrilled with their lunches. Imagine my surprise when there was an extra lunch with Monday's order that just said "Thank you"! I was so excited to get to have a great lunch also!! The lunches were delivered precisely on time, which meant I did not have to waste a lot of time waiting for the delivery person. Thank you for taking so much of the stress out of the last two days!!! Everything was perfect!!!... and, as long as the county will provide the funds, you can be sure that we will be ordering again when the need arises!!" Margaret Leggett

“Heather and I would like to thank you for throwing us one outstanding party. Throughout the planning process we kept looking forward to the end. Ironically, after about 5 minutes of our reception, we never wanted it to end. If it is against the rules for the bride and groom to have fun, we certainly broke the rules. To list all of the compliments we’ve gotten would take three pages. I’ll throw articulation out the window and tell you THAT WAS THE BEST DAMN RECEPTION WE COULD HAVE EVER HOPED FOR...Sincerely, Ross Debolt”

“Thank you so much for making our wedding and reception such a beautiful and memorable day. I didn’t have one worry the whole day because you were so on top of things. All of our guests remarked on how lovely the Club was and that your food was the absolute best they had every eaten! Once again, you are the best and deserve much future business—I am recommending you to all of my single friends”. Love, Emily & Patrick.

“Everyone—especially the bride and groom—thought the reception was perfect. The food was outstanding, the setting was magical, and the service was impeccable. Thank you for all that you did to make Mary Cabell’s dream wedding reception a reality. It was so nice not to have to worry about a thing! We knew that every detail would be attended to. Because we were all relaxed, we could enjoy—and remember—every special moment.” Many, many thanks!! Sydney Sherrod

“From the moment we began working with you it was obvious that you conduct your business very professionally. You were always willing to answer any questions we had, meet to discuss the plans and provide wonderful insight. You gained our trust very quickly and rightfully so because as soon as we walked into the reception we were so impressed with all that you had done to make everything look fabulous. And, most importantly, the food was delicious, too. People are still commenting on the food. At the end of the evening, we were surprised to find a basket of reception foods in our room—that was so nice! We have been spreading the work to any engaged couples to definitely consider Colony Catering as their caterer.” Sincerely, Carey O’Brien

….”All of the staff members were friendly and polite. It seemed like ours was the only event they had on their minds and this made us feel welcomed and special. The colony Club itself also delighted us. It is a beautiful setting for any event. Many guests said they felt like they were being entertained in someone’s home.” Kathleen Sullivan

“I can’t tell you how pleased we were with all your work on Susanna’s debutante party. The food was fabulous, creative, beautifully displayed and delicious. Everyone was raving about it”… Thanks so much, Sue Taylor

“Thank you so much for everything you and your staff did to make Allison’s “Camp Allison” Bat Mitzvah such a special occasion…our guests could not believe we actually had a campfire in the middle of a downtown Richmond. The yellow canoe to hold the beverages was a very creative and original idea!...you really did create a very special and memorable evening”. Sincerely, Carol Ann Callahan

“On behalf of Children’s Hospital I would like to thank you for the huge success of this year’s event. Guests are still raving about the lunches and the beautiful atmosphere you have created at the Colony Club….we couldn’t do it without you!” Most sincerely, Kerry Kent, Director of Special Events

‘Applause! Applause! Applause! So many compliments for the presentation, the staff and of course the food choices. So many said they had been to many legislative receptions before but this was the best every- they can’t wait until next year. I hope all of you could hear the compliments echoed during the night. What a team all of you make. Please convey mine, Tommy’s and Virginia Coal Association thanks and congratulations for a job well done. PS. Thanks for taking such care of me—the highlight of my General Assembly Session is to be pampered by you guys.” Betty Mundie

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The breakfast held at the Colony club was not only a successful event it was enjoyable. Please thank your staff. They were so helpful and of course, Suzanne’s homemades were delicious. …”the word on the street” is that Delegate Hall just completed another successful event. Much of that credit goes to you for taking good care of all the logistics.” With best wishes, Franklin P. Hall, Minority Leader, House of Delegates
