"Every person from Parties That Cook, from the person who coordinated our party, Beth, to the chefs at our party, were absolutely stupendous. I would HIGHLY recommend PTC to all my other recruiter friends who plan parties!"

Marietta Dixon
Howrey LLP

"Everyone really got into it. It was a fun, interactive evening, and I have heard nothing but raves about the event! Tanya was the lead chef, and I loved her fabulous energy and enthusiasm for her craft. It was very contagious! I was looking for something different for my group. I am tired of the same old boring dinners at restaurants. I had a hunch that this would not only work for this group, but that it would be a hit...and it was! Bless you for creating PARTIES THAT COOK!!!"

"We really had a great time! You were tremendous! Very well organized and completely worry-free for me as the organizer for our group. Professional website, and when I called, Rosie was very responsive and gave me assurance that I wouldn't need to worry about anything. I was
looking for a teambuilding experience and it was perfect! Our group had only met for the first time that morning. When we left, we really had a great sense of togetherness."

"The event really helped our team get to know one another. It let people let loose and get involved with one another. This was the most successful event we have done! We loved the chefs! They were fun and kept us laughing. Our team was really tired by end of day, but once we
got cookin' the whole party lit up! All morning today everyone was thanking me for such a great night. Thanks again!!!!!"

Ashley Miller

"Parties That Cook offered the best price, best quality and, most importantly, Christina responded to my inquiries right away. Chef John was entertaining and informative, and everything flowed quite smoothly from the time we arrived to our departure."

Denise Malatesta

"We're a very competitive team so it was the perfect opportunity to get to know each other better instead of doing it over a stuffy sit down dinner. Everyone was so great at the event and SO patient. We're a rowdy group and kind of hard to keep in check and they handled us beautifully. Loved that they asked beforehand what type of work we do (sales & marketing), so they knew how to handle our group (loud and to the point)."

Sarah Parkington

"Our party was absolutely fabulous. My customer service staff enjoyed and benefited from every minute of it. The staff was professional and friendly; the food was outstanding; the organizational aspect was perfect; and the fun was abundant! Congratulations to your organization for providing to us an exceptional, outside-of-the-box, event. Worth every penny!"

Rita Houston, Executive Director
Willow Creek Association

"AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!! We've never seen so much interaction among our clients during an event before this one. The staff was EXCELLENT. It's obvious that the PTC staff really enjoy themselves and it was infectious to the rest of the group! I have already been singing
your praises to friends and colleagues!"

Michael Feeney
Minkoff and Associates

"Everyone thought our cooking event was creative and engaging. My group raved about it and had a wonderful time. It was especially nice for those quieter members of our group and partners and spouses as a traditional cocktail party or dinner can be awkward if you don't know anyone. They really appreciated having a "task" and learning something new while getting to know the group! Thanks again, you and your team were terrific!"

Lynn D. Lieber, CEO
Workplace Answers, Inc.

"We had a delightful team event last night and your staff did such an outstanding job. THANK YOU, Tanya & the entire staff for taking good care of us!!! The food & presentation topped any high end restaurant I've ever been to and I have been to many. My team members all share the same sentiment and again, we can't thank you enough for such a great time! You guys are on my recommended list of events NOT TO BE MISSED!!!"

They both had terrific energy, a sense of humor and really created a festive, energetic environment...Of the parties that we've done over the past few years, this was the best yet. Our guests had a fantastic time and will remember this party for months to come. By the way, the menu you helped select was a total hit! Thank you and I look forward to doing more business with you in the future."
