To Deco Catering,
We would like to express our pleasure with the food and service provided by Deco Catering and it's staff at out daughter's wedding on July 24 at Camrose Hill Farm. Catering an outdoor dinner for 300 guests is no doubt a challenge and Deco outperformed all of our expectations!

From the first meeting with Soile to when the last dish was put away, your kindness and help was appreciated. We received nothing but compliments and praise from our guests about the delicious food and efficient service. We will HIGHLY recommend Deco Catering to others!

Thank you,
Patsy and Rick Morphew

Dear Soile and the Deco Catering Team,

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Our meal and wedding event on June 5th was amazing.
Your servers, cooks, and staff were exceptional. The food was outstanding and truly enjoyed
by all the guests. We had so many compliments about how generous and delicious the food was.

Kate and I were so happy with how everything went, we absolutely loved everything. Deco Catering is by far the best choice in the Minneapolis. Please use us as a highly positive recommendation. We truly thank you for how wonderful the meal turned out to be. Thank you.

Mike and Kate

Hello Heikki and Soile:

Jeff and I wanted to express our sincere appreciation for the wonderful food, presentation, and service at our wedding reception last weekend at the James J Hill Library.  We have heard from a lot of our guests that you created and served the best food that many of them had ever had at a wedding!  
 
Jeff and I couldn't be happier with the way that everything turned out - thank you so very much for all your hard work!  My mother, Linda Rudeen, will be sending a check in the mail shortly, if she hasn't already done so, along with the final invoice.  
 
We would highly recommend your services to anyone!  
 
Thanks again,
 
Jeff and Rachael Klos

Heikki,
 
You beat me to the punch as I was just going to send an email to you.  The food was absolutely over the top and we could not be happier!  My biggest concern was in pleasing our guests from Ireland and after seeing the CEO and President devour two plates of food and hearing them rave about both the flavor and presentation, I knew our choice of using The Deco Catering was a huge success!!!!  
 
I woke up in the early hours of the morning and realized that I had not personally thanked the two servers who stayed and ran the bar.  I know Jerry was one but I don’t know the name of the other young man.  They were fantastic and I want them to know how much we appreciated their professionalism and wonderful attitudes.  
 
I will definitely recommend The Deco to anyone and everyone I talk to!  
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
 
Connie
 
PS, I am having your invoice processed immediately.

"Dear Soile,

"Heikki, Soile, Maiju, Joel, Carol, Tuula, and Deco Catering:
Words cannot even begin to describe your excellence! From the first until the last correspondence you had made this process smooth, enjoyable, pleasant, and fun. You presented several options and suggested wonderful ideas while always actively listening to our desires. You not only catered the food but also catered towards our dreams for the image we desired for our wedding day. The presentation of the buffet and cake were astounding! The variety of the food met everyone's taste buds. Every person we greeted that night raved about the food! Our uncle said,"This is the first wedding I got full at!" Even two weeks later, after our honeymoon, we saw a friend and he said, "You had the best wedding food I have ever had; the only bad thing is that I got full!" Our family and friends continue to praise Deco Catering for your food, presentation, and wonderful service. Thank you for making our wedding day a wonderful experience for everyone!

To the Owners and staff at Deco Catering,
My husband and I would like to thank you for catering our daughters wedding that was held April 25th at the James J. Hill Library. Upon our arrival from the church to the Library we walked in the Library main seating area, and before our eyes was this gorgeous buffet (with a breath taking presentation), chocolate fondue dessert table (with every imaginable food option for dipping into the chocolate), tables set with white linens, the lighting and flowers arranged perfectly. Also, your professional serving staff waiting, indicating they would cater to any need we had throughout the evening. They did an outstanding job!!

Once the festivities began and all our guests were served and eating, I walked around to each table to greet all of the family and our friends, and to make sure they were happy with the food and arrangements. Every one of them told us that the food was absolutely amazing, the best they have ever eaten, they couldn't believe the variety and how much they enjoyed the "artsy" presentation of the food as they walked through the buffet line. But, their comments didn't just stop after the main meal, as the night moved on into the wedding dance and mid-evening appetizers, and people began to sample the chocolate fondue and evening appetizers, once again our guest came up to us and couldn't quit ranting and raving about how delicious everything was and how much they were impressed with the food throughout the entire evening. It felt so good to know that our daughter had chosen a caterer that could please so many guests with such diverse eating habits.

Once we returned home, I have told many people about the meal, dessert table and evening appetizers and what an outstanding job you and your staff did. It is still the talk of our friends and family in every phone conversation and social get together. (We all wish we could do repeats of the food, now even days after the wedding!)

My husband and I wish to extend our sincere appreciation for transforming my daughter's wedding into an experience that we will all talk about and remember for some time to come.

With our appreciation and gratitude,
Bob and Michele Laidlaw
Parents of the Bride

To the owner and staff at The Deco Catering,
I had to write and tell you how pleased my family was with the food (and service) you supplied for my daughter's wedding at the Weismann Art Museum on Oct. 18.

A large number of guests told us that the food was the best they have ever eaten at a wedding, and I have to agree. It was fabulous!!! No only did it taste great, but it was presented so beautifully.

Also, your staff/servers accommodated every request that we had for them concerning the table setup and meal delivery. They did an outstanding job.

I have told many people about the meal, and I have highly recommended you to several people I know who are planning weddings in the next year.

My daughter Rachel, who worked as an event planner, was the person who recommended we use your company. Boy, did she give good advice!! Thank you so much!!! -- Carol Johnson

Dear Heikki and Soile,
Tamara and I could not end our relationship without letting you know how outstanding the food and services were, and how very much we enjoyed working with you for this very special day.

Heikke, you were entirely right about the peapods - they were exquisite! And Soile, your creativity and culinary skills are so apparent - I now know why your services are so in demand. All of the food was superb and the servers and Maiju were so accommodating -- I even got a second piece of wedding cake!

Heikki, thank you for all the time spent on the phone and your continuing reassurance. And Soile, you are magnificent. You would not believe the number of compliments and accolades we accepted on behalf of you and your staff.

Please let me know if we can ever assist in writing or speaking with potential clients on your behalf.

Thank you again - you helped so much in making the day very special for our families.

"Soile Anderson and Deco Staff,
We would like to thank you for providing your catering service to our daughter and son-in-laws wedding reception on May 19, 2007.

The food was beyond our expectations. We heard many favorable comments during the course of the evening. The guests loved the salmon and chicken. The fruit was another item that we talked about "I can't believe the size of the grapes.

The buffet table was a work of art. Maiju and her staff did a commendable job in setting it up. People were astounded when they went through the buffet line. Most had never seen a buffet table set up like that.

A "hats off" to your staff at the reception. Maiju, Cody, Lynn and Tony in the office. We would not hesitate in recommending your company for catering."-- Again, thanks, Ted and Sue Zoccoli

"Dear Solie,
Thank you so much for making our Kiddush Luncheon one to remember. Many of our guests have written or called letting us know that the whole day was so magical! Kenny did a great job with his Bar Mitzvah preparation and you rewarded him with the most wonderful and elegant buffet luncheon. The room looked so beautiful and the food was so tasty. I'm sure that I had enough to feed another 100 people. I know that our choice to have you do the luncheon was a great decision and therefore we will have wonderful memories. Unfortunately the synagogue does not allow us to take pictures on Sabbath, but if by chance you have any pictures, I would love copies.

Again, Mark, Kenny & I thank you for a wonderful luncheon. It left people talking about it for days"
-- Sincerely, Heather & Dr. Mark Stesin

"Dear Soile,
We thank you so very much for planning, creating and serving our daughter's party/reception on July 20th. It was above and beyond anything we expected. The presentation was really beautiful. All the food was creatively displayed and delicious!

Your "charcoal chef" touch added the unique piece to an already great culinary fete - all on such a terrific summer evening.

Without a doubt, we will highly recommend Deco and you as the BEST available and most accommodating planner and event server - food "EXTRAORDINAIRE!"

Please thank Maiju and Vuokho for their terrific help. They are both delightful, cordial and marvelous workers & tip included for them both."-- Gratefully, Richard & Kathy Skinner

"Soile,
We can't thank you and your staff enough for all that you did to ensure that Caleb's Bar Mitzvah weekend was a smashing success.

All of our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and your presentation!!! It equaled the food's delectable taste. You are truly masterful!

Please let your entire staff know that they were a pleasure, and equally wonderful, always so cheerful and full of energy." -- Have a wonderful week, Christine, Seth, Caleb & Sasha
