Testimonials

Tony and Lucy,

I can't thank you enough for your creative work in support of our parish's first major fund raising event. You took a fine public space and made it over into an elegant dining room for 400 is almost no time whatsoever. The appetizers were beautiful to behold, and lovely start to a great night. Dinner was absolutely delicious and served by a pleasant, helpful and accommodating staff. My parishioners and friends are still raving about the evening. Your professional expertise and flawless execution of a difficult dinner in a new space contributed greatly to the success of the entire evening.   See you next year!

Dear Ahern:

We wanted to write a note to thank you for the wonderful job you did at our wedding reception. Everything was beautiful and your staff was incredibly professional. The #1 thing that people tell us about the wedding is “the food was SO good!” We can’t say thank you enough, or tell you enough how impressed we were with the service. We even made a few small last minute changes the day of and it was clearly no big deal. The staff was extremely courteous and everything was ready to go on time. We received several compliments about the cake being boxed: people just seemed to love that they could take it home and eat it later. We were 100% satisfied with everything from start to finish: your company is extremely easy to work with, and we just wanted to say thank you for being such a large part of making our reception a huge success! We will definitely be recommending you to all our family & friends!

Thank you!

Dear Lucy,

Thank you to Ahern for such a great job on the North Olmsted 50th reunion but a special thank you to you for your help. I genuinely appreciated the way you approach your job. You made the planning fun and kept my stress level down. Thank you again for contributing to the success of my reunion. We had so many compliments on the food and everything went so smoothly.

Dear Lucy,

I just wanted to drop a note to thank you for the outstanding reception you catered for our daughter's wedding on May 5th at the Irish Heritage Center.  The food was superb, and we received several compliments on it. The groom's father told me that it was the best food he'd ever had at a wedding!  I think they were impressed with the beef being carved at the table, but my favorite was definitely the bourbon chicken. It was wonderful.  The service was excellent, also. Friends asked me if there were any glitches at this wedding, and I couldn't think of even one. Thanks so much!

Dear Tony:
I find it necessary that I contact you to inform you of how pleased we were with our event held at the Irish Heritage Center on 12/10/05. It was our Hospital Christmas party, and we had approx 200 guests. Many, many people have contacted me to say how great the event was. The food was hot & delicious, the staff was very professional, and everyone very much enjoyed themselves. Especially helpful was Lucy who was instrumental in the set up and organization of the event. She was very much a pleasure to work with! We look forward to doing more events with you and your group in the future!

Dear Earl,

This note of appreciation is somewhat slow to arrive, but is most sincere. Thank you so much, Earl, for creating such an incredible menu for Jack Kahl's retirement celebration. The hors d'oeuvres looked fabulous, and tasted even better than fabulous. And the assortment was excellent, something for everyone's taste.

I know you and I were both disappointed to see many people leave after the program. However, I can tell you that those who enjoyed the fare were quick to tell everyone the following Monday how wonderful everything was. I think quite a few who left early regretted their decision to do so.

Earl, working with you was very enjoyable, and your imagination and food presentation is super. Thanks for everything you did to make this event memorable. Also, I send both my and Manco's wishes to you and your family for a lovely holiday and a happy and healthy 2001.

Sincerely,

Dear Earl, Therese, Tony and everyone at Ahern's,

Thank you for everything you did to help make our wedding day special. The food was the best I've ever had at a wedding and I'm not just saying that because it was our wedding. Geri and I had so many compliments on the good food and nice people at the reception. We had a cookout/party the following day and served the leftovers, which were still quite good. We have definitely recommended you because everything turned out so well. Thank you again for making our wedding day so memorable.

Sincerely,
Maureen and Geri N.


I recently attended the Wagner-Sweeney wedding which you catered. I wanted to tell you it was the BEST wedding food I have ever had! Excellent salad and entrée and the green beans were outstanding! Good job!

Dear Tony,

I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful reception on Oct. 28. You have a wonderful staff - Sherry was always helpful on the phone. Lucy was so pleasant during dinner and Paul McHugh at midnight when we were looking for the cake topper.

The hall looked so nice and I thank you for making the cake table so elegant with the fern and baby breath.

You had many, many compliments on the food - the beef was excellent - and how efficient your staff was in serving so many in such a short time.

Many guests commented on how well the bar was run. Everything was great the whole evening and I'm sorry I didn't get to thank you in person.

Sincerely,
Ellen D.


Thank you so very much for the absolutely wonderful job that you did at the Goetz/Gaba wedding on April 20. Many of our guests raved about the food and said it was the best they had every enjoyed at a wedding (I agree!) Your staff did a marvelous job in setting up the hall, it looked great!

Most of all, Lucy Balser was delightful to work with and made my anxieties disappear!

Thanks again,
Birdie G.


Dear Mr. Ahern,

Thank you so much for taking my phone call at home on Dec. 14th and responding so graciously to our needs. The food delivered to the Presidential's party room after the funeral of my mother-in-law, on Friday, Dec. 15th was wonderful and perfectly suited to the size of our group.

We are most grateful for the extra effort it must have taken during such a busy season for you.

Thank you,
The Ziegler Family
