Dear Michael and James,
It's now Monday morning after our very successful event on Saturday evening and the whole office is still on a high. We have also now lost count of the number of people that have complemented the incredible high standard of food, service, venue decor and the overall event presentation at The Mansion.
Without a doubt the whole event was an outstanding success because of the quality that you and the team delivered to us from day one. You made the whole event planning process so seamless and your attention to detail was second to none.
You were both an absolute pleasure to work with and we felt that nothing was too much trouble. So a very very very big thank you from us and everyone at GMI.

Dear Daniel,
Thank you for sending the brilliant photos. A great reminder of the fabulous weekend. Our guests have found about every positive superlative there is in the dictionary to describe the party and weekend overall. Definitely the reception that others will strive to better, though I would venture possibly the best of 2011. We will see!?
So many thanks and congratulations to all your staff from us all. The chef must have been so relieved to get the last souffle onto the plate! Well done, an amazing feat. The seamless organisation has been noted in many thank you letters, for which we owe you personally many thanks.

Hi All,
THANK YOU so much for making Friday night incredible. We’ve had so much amazing feedback, including Neil (our CEO) who’s emailed the entire
Calling you ‘suppliers’ doesn’t feel like it does you justice as you were so much more. You really owned the event, took complete responsibility for it and went to great lengths to make sure everyone’s experience was special. Please pass my thanks on to the rest of your team for all their efforts.

Many of our guests have commented on what a lovely day it was and how wonderful everything was. We want to say a huge thank you to you and your whole team for making the day so perfect. In addition to the venue being stunning, the food and the service from your team was absolutely superb.
Thank you again for making our day so perfect.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and your team for Wednesday night, it was a complete success and I've had some excellent feedback, so hopefully there'll be more of these in the future! Your guys were excellent, very professional, the room looked fantastic. It all went without a hitch. And they really looked after me as well which was lovely.
Dear Paul
You and your team provided the most friendly, efficient and faultless service and food. The venue looked amazing, in fact, it is hard to put into words how perfect everything was. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Dine to anyone, many thanks once again for all your help personally, you have made the whole process completely stress free.
Paul and Michael
We just wanted to say a huge thank you to both of you for helping us to plan our day and ensuring it all ran smoothly. We had an absolutely amazing day and our guests have all told us how much they enjoyed it and how lovely the food was. We all loved the band, thank you for booking them on our behalf.
Dear Jenny
All your staff were very professional, well dressed and polite. They are a credit to you and the company you work for. The food and drink were excellent. I have heard nothing but praise from everyone.
Hi Eve
A massive thank you again; it couldn't have been a more perfect day for us. Dine overall exceeded our expectations, we were very impressed. People are still talking abou the food and how great you all were. I just wish there had been more room in my dress so I could've eaten more!
Dear Eve
I would like to say a big thank you for everything you did for us. We had a fantastic day and were very impressed by how professional the service was. Many of our guests complemented the food and the service, a few engaged couples at the wedding were asking for your details! The day ran so smoothly, we couldn't have had a better day. Everyone I have dealt with at Dine has been nothing but lovely. A waitress came round in the evening and asked me to point out the gluten free guests, my friend was so touched by this as she frequently has problems being able to eat out with this allergy. Thank you again and I will be recommending your services very highly to friends.

I'm writing to express heart felt thanks to you and your colleagues for the part you played in what was, for me, a perfect day. Where to start; I will not quickly forget walking out of the ceremony to see what felt like an army of impeccably turned out waiters and waitresses lining the path out of the venue to distribute fizz, I felt then that I had picked the right caterers and the rest of the day only confirmed this view.
The food was delicious, for me the stand out dishes were: the tomato soup, as good a tomato soup as I have tasted, a delicious start to the meal; and the creme brulee, in my eyes, a perfect example of what a creme brulle should be, rich, beautifully creamy with an incredibly delicate top. I love it. My favourite canape was the mini roast beef and Yorkshire pudding but they were all delicious, I was especially surprised by the goats cheese tartlet, I had stuck it in for the veggies but loved it, and had several. People were genuinely shocked by how good the food was, you don't go to weddings expecting great food and that is what people got.
The service was fantastic, wine was distributed with military efficiency and a friendly smile, a rare combination. The food arrived and left in one swoop of waiters and they all carried themselves with a great deal of poise.......................Many guests commented on the quality of the service, my favourite being one guest who asked if the serving staff knew us personally as he had simply mentioned to his wife he could use a glass of red and one of your colleagues had overhead and quickly brought him one. That feels like a commendation.
The presentation of the food was also outstanding I've been lucky enough to eat in some nice restaurants and the food would not have looked out of place in any of them. Guests couldn't believe this exquisite looking food was coming out of a kitchen that had been brought with you. I think this covers everything, I realise this is a little verbose but I wanted to capture everything. All in all I think the Dine service was an absolute triumph, thank you very much indeed!
What a wonderful day! At the outset we advised Hannah that you and the Dine team had a “can do” attitude that would serve us well during the planning & execution of Hannah & Al’s wedding.
Well you certainly did! As mentioned in my wedding speech, Hannah’s perfectionism and planning with your attention to detail ensured a fabulous day that perfectly reflected her sense of fun and their shared happiness.
All guests have offered profuse thanks to us, Dine team, the Castle with particularly favourable comments on the food.
Again many thanks.
Wedding at Allerton Castle
