References & Accolades
Everyone loves a pat on the back. And our customers are great at letting us know when we do a good job. Many of them even volunteer as references for new customers. If you want to make sure you're hiring the best, ask us for the contact information for people who have experienced our food and service.
This positive buzz is important, since A Cappella limits our advertising to the Yellow Pages and word of mouth is key to our business. Here's a sampling from our brag book. This is what people are talking about when it comes to A Cappella's food and service:
February 2009
The food presentation was so wonderful and it was all delicious and fresh.
Especially the staff were great to work with… including listening to us and providing input on the food layout and wine service to ensure that we would be able to service the 200 guests all at once, and assisting and cooperating with us when we needed to make a location change on the hot food. It was great working with them.
Just wanted to say that the food and service at my event was AWESOME! And thanks to your staff who stayed late to pack up everything. We really appreciated that. Also - lots of people said the roast beef was terrific. They also said we picked a great caterer. My aunt Jean Pare (who writes cookbooks and also used to cater) said it was great too.
March 2009
Our guests always rave about the food quality, taste and quantity. We love working with you. The service is trustworthy, which I believe is a huge factor. I rarely worry about things being missed or late. We have never had an issue with tardiness and the servers are always more than happy to follow our lead or take suggestions on how we’d like to approach the serving and clearing for the function.
Your excellent food and service is the reason we keep booking with you. You are always on time and your food ins\s wonderful.
We had some comments about the soup- people thought it was really tasty. I also enjoy the finger foods and they are generally quick to go. Personally I always use A Cappella because I like their sandwiches better than others. They have a good variety and size.
April 2009
The quality of the food was amazing. We had so many compliments on your food both during the event and the next day. The only thing perhaps better than the food was the quality of the service. Both staff did an outstanding job. They were busy the whole evening ensuring our guests were well looked after. Their service was both knowledgeable and a unobtrusive. They were a delight!
As usual, your service was very good; you had lots of staff, enabling my staff to visit with clients.
My staff is quite picky but I have never heard so many positive comments about the food.
Everything was seamless and I appreciate that I only had to make a call and it was done for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to use you again when we require the services of a caterer.
Tasty tasty tasty as always.
The thing I like best about your food is that it is very fresh and of a healthy variety.
Thank you for making this event effortless for myself and my partner.
I am impressed with the quality and variety of food you provide and there are many positive comments about your food and presentation from our clients.
Thanks again- you’re on my list of favorite caterers now!
The quality was excellent. Everyone especially liked the breads and delicious fillings. A few people said it was the best assortment of sandwiches they’d had. Lovely arrangement of the fruit and finger food.
You guys were a hit today! One guest said yours were the best sandwiches ever.
Overall I was very happy with the entire transaction, from ordering on the phone to delivery. Everyone is great.
Thank you for making it so easy for me! The service was on time and it was simple to put everything in the bin provided.
I really appreciate you guys being able to put something like this together on such short notice. We were very happy and will definitely use and recommend you in the future.
Everything tasted great and was presented very nicely. Particularly, the vegetarian and gluten free attendees were quite impressed with their portions as they both found me to tell me their meals were delicious. The service staff were punctual, extremely accommodating and were very professional and pleasant. They did everything to make the lunch run smoothly.
Everything was great. We had more than enough food. Quality was great as always. And service was again perfect; your delivery people are very accommodating and helpful.
I’ve always been pleased with your food. Service and professionalism and have every intention to continue using A Cappella. Thanks to you and your staff, and keep up the good work.
May 2009
Our event was a tremendous success and the service provided by A Cappella was first class. Your representative was professional and efficient and did a great job in designing and modifying a catering plan to meet my needs. The on site staff did a fantastic job in every way. She arrived on time and made a very nice presentation of the food before the guests arrived. Her service throughout the evening was professional and courteous. Her friendly outgoing demeanor enhanced our celebration.
You were highly recommended to us and you did not disappoint.
The food was excellent with lots of variety to suit all tastes. The staff were very professional, attentive and pleasant.
We had a post honeymoon get together with some family and friends and general consensus was you guys were great. The food was memorable on so many levels. I don't know if it was us picking good or just the fact that everything on your menu was delicious, but people loved everything. The spanikopita, kebabs, chicken and the veggies were raved about. And everybody was stuffed and had to take home left-overs. To sum up, everything was perfect and we will be recommending you to anyone who will listen.
June 2009
We were very pleased with your service. The quality was great, had many positive comments about all of it. The service was on time and very in control of having it out on time, replenishing and keeping everything tidy etc. All staff were very professional. Was very pleased with them all. They were very personal, friendly and helpful with everything.
The food was excellent and plentiful. Your staff was also excellent - timely and professional. We have used A Cappella Catering on numerous occasions and will continue to do so. Please pass on a big thank you to all involved - the event was big success.
The food was sufficient and great. Best of all was the professionalism and quick efficient set up conducted by your team. The young people were great! I would not hesitate to recommend A Cappella to anyone! Again thank you for making my job so easy and seeing the happy faces of the delegates.
July 2009
I had never used your catering company before but did so on the recommendation of someone who had attended a function that had been catered by A Cappella. I was very pleased and will be using your company again.
I wanted to write and let you know that everything met our expectations........the service was excellent, the quality of the food was excellent and all that was left were lettuce leaves and some bread!!!! There were many comments about how delicious the food was. Many guests asked who did the catering........thank you very much for a job well done and I will be sure to call you in the future.
Everything was great; I was afraid there wouldn't be enough food, but there were a few leftovers and I don't think anyone went hungry. The quality was excellent; my husband and I loved it and we got lots of compliments from our guests. The service was very professional. The staff did a great job setting up and clearing tables without being intrusive, and when we got there at 6:15 everything was set up and ready to go as planned. If I had to do it all over again, I would still book with your company.
I absolutely love you guys. I've started ordering solely from you, because I am treated so well! When I call, the girls are always so friendly and accommodating. The food is always excellent. You guys make me look awesome. I also wanted to put a special thank you to you all for the event you catered today. Your delivery guys are a riot! They're friendly, fun and so professional. I was able to host an event for 200 people without too much stress. They handled everything. The guy that picked up the food was also very helpful, friendly and professional.
August 2009
I would like to thank you for helping to make our company's anniversary celebration a success. The three staff members we had for the event were excellent and did a fantastic job of working with me to set everything up both functionally and esthetically pleasing. They were very accommodating to where we wanted things set up from the bar, to the bbq's and the food arrangement and made every effort to work with the company we had hired to roast a wild boar and when it was ready to be served and having the catering food prepared at the same time. The food was excellent and we got many great reviews from the clients and staff attending the event and have happily passed on A Capella's name as a reputable caterer to use in future. Thank-you all for all your efforts and we look forward to working with you again in future.
I thought it appropriate to take this opportunity to let you know about my first catering experience. I had a party catered by Acappella at my home on the 15th. I have to tell you, I was amazed at the ease of the process, but more importantly, the quality of the food. You all did an outstanding job and at a reasonable price. I thought it would be far more expensive! My guests were extremely impressed!!!!! Rest assured that I will definitely be using your services more in the future. An exquisite job well done.
We wanted you to know how pleased we were with Acappella re: our daughter's wedding. Our main contact was helpful, pleasant & patient...a great advisor & planner. The serving team were excellent in their onsite service re: food & beverage. The leader was positive, flexible, helpful & went out of her way to insure we all had a great experience & that nothing was wasted. All staff were polite & thoughtful in working in a small facility with so much "chaos" around them. The meal was lovely & we had numerous compliments from guests, many who host business events & will likely call your company in future. Others reinforced from their experiences contracting you, how good you folks are. We appreciate how much your company contributed to a wonderful day.
September 2009
We had a great time and the service, food and quantity of food was beyond our expectations. I am very glad we decided use your catering services for our wedding. Once again, we appreciated everything and thank you for being so accommodating.
On behalf of all of those who enjoyed the luncheon both on Monday and Tuesday - Thank you! It was absolutely fantastic!! Everyone enjoyed their meals - including our staff member with his gluten free luncheon. The service was wonderful. We will definitely be using your services in the future and recommending you to others.
The food was GREAT, the quality was beyond my expectations and there was certainly enough for everyone. All the guests commented on how fabulous the food was. I also wanted to comment on the service that was provided - the servers were very professional and helpful throughout the evening and the bartender did his job well. Everything was set up nicely and in a timely manner, and clean up was done throughout the night, leaving the kitchen spotless before leaving! Thanks again! I will definitely use your services again when needed and will recommend you to others.
I wanted to send this email to thank you for your help and support at this event. In particular, I was extremely impressed by the three staff you sent out to our event. They were cheerful and competent and really went out of their way to make the event wonderful. The bar and food was a hit. And they tidied up the space really well when they were done. I will recommend you to anyone who asks. And I would certainly book you again.
I wouldn't hesitate to use you again - I get great food, for a great price and it's always delivered on time. Thank you for everything once again!
I had a great experience with A Cappella Catering from the start of our event to the finish. Our contact was a great help in making the menu selection easy and she put together a proposal that definitely suited our needs. I was delighted by the efficient delivery service that was provided for every meal. The employees were professional and courteous. They set up the food and displayed everything nicely. The food was terrific and there was plenty of it. Everyone who attended our event thoroughly enjoyed the hot lunch on Thursday, September 10th and the sandwiches on Friday, September 11th. All of the snacks and meals were fantastic. A Cappella Catering helped to make our event a success! Thank you for helping to make it so easy to have a successful event!

Many people at the event commented that the food was very good. The service was great. The bartenders were quick and courteous. Dishes were picked up promptly so the tables were kept clean. The staff arrived on time and everything looked very professional. The food was ready to serve at the time requested. We would certainly recommend your company to others. I would hire you again.
I can't tell you how impressed I was with everything! The delivery was prompt and the food was awesome! I have already recommended your company to tow of my colleagues! This is the first time I have used a cappella and it won't be the last!
Everything was absolutely perfect!! Many people commented on the food and wanted to know the caterer. The food was excellent as well as the service and professionalism. My hats off to you and your staff and be assured we will be calling in the future. Many thanks for making our event a huge success!!
We were very, very impressed with the quality, amount, service, price, etc. All of the guests were raving about the food. We will definitely use you guys for future events that my school's social committee plans. Thanks very much for helping to make our evening as wonderful as it was.
I was impressed with the dress code you are using, very professional. The 3 workers were in tune with the event and had everyone thru the initial rush in a short period of time. The best compliment I can give is that they worked efficiently and added a positive feel towards the event. Well done! Our money was well spent and we are a satisfied customer of "a cappella catering"
I just wanted to let you know that everything was above & beyond our expectations! We had more than enough food, and everything was delicious! All of our guests loved everything! Your staff was superb & dinner was served on time. I will definately be recommending you to anyone I know that requires a caterer!
October 2009
The driver that dropped off & delivered was excellent, very customer service friendly.
The catering we received on the weekend was excellent. There was more than enough food and we will be eating leftovers for another day at least (we did have a few no shows). The food exceeded our expectations and many of the guests commented on how good it was. The serve staff was also excellent. They arrived with plenty of time to setup and did a great job of packing everything up. We would certainly recommend A Cappella Catering to our friends.
The catering from A Cappella was outstanding. I received a lot of compliments on the taste of the food and variety. Everything was delicious. The food arrived on time and the set up was quick and nicely displayed.
I wanted you to know that for a second year in a row that A cappella did a great job. The food was wonderful and we did ha enough. The two serves we had were great. I can't remember their names right now, but I am sure you would know the ones we had. I'm already looking forward to working with you next year.
You scored very high marks across the board as far as I could tell. We received nothing but compliments on the dinner, and found it very delicious ourselves. (I particularly liked your caeser salad, myself). While there weren't any leftovers, I don't think anyone went hungry. As well, we were pleased with the service. Friends of mine are getting married next summer and I think they'll want to hire you as well. Thanks for everything,
The food was absolutely fantastic! There was enough for everyone, and a little bit left over. My compliments also to the young man who delivered and set up - he's a great representative for your company. I'll be a return customer.
November 2009
The service was very punctual and terrific to work with.
The amount was perfect for a quick snack before our presentation. Any more food and we wouldn't have been able to get guests to leave the food tables!
The quality was good for cold appetizers. Nicely presented and excellent taste! The driver was on time and professional. We were blown away by the quality of the food that was presented, as well as the professional manner in which it was delivered.
The function was great! The food was excellent and yes there was enough. Quality and service exceeded out expectations. Thank you!
The event went over very well, your staff was excellent, professional, friendly, helpful and they left everything clean. The food was excellent and we received plenty of good comments the day after regarding the food.
I have used your services 5 times (all lunches) in the past two weeks or so - and every time the food was fantastic! Everyone at the lunches had nothing but good things to say.
The quantity of food was perfect for the amount ordered. It met our needs perfectly without the need to worry about being short-handed with possible customer drop-ins at the event. The customers and staff-alike, enjoyed the meal. The serving stadd did a great job of getting everything set-up and keeping the tables full! I'd like to thank you for letting us keep the serving dishes, etc. beyond the allotted time. It gave us the extra time we needed with the customers that wanted to stay a little longer without sending them away hungry. Much appreciated. :)
Everyone was super impressed with the quality of the food and we had more than enough - there was enough left over for half the staff to eat for lunch the next day! All of the dishes were SO good. Delivery and pick up was on time and very efficient. We will definitely be calling you again in the future!
The food was delicious and fantastic. There was definitely enough food to go around and the service was top notch. Thank you so much for making the day flow smoothly for us. I'll be sending my friends your way if they inquire about catering, and I am planning my wedding for this summer and plan to call you up in the future. :)
The food was very good and all arrived in good order a the right temperature. All the guests were very happy with the meal. Your staff was very great...organized and on top of things.
After asking the office for their feedback the consensus is that yes there was more than enough delicious food and our guests could not say enough wonderful things about the food. We would recommend A Cappella Catering to other people and I would not be surprised if you do not get additional business from some of our guests as we handed out quite a few of A Cappella's catering cards. Additionally, both the setup and pickup staff were very pleasant and timely and did a fantastic job. Thanks so much for making our event memorable.
The serving staff and the rest of your staff were very professional. I thanked them a few times throughout the evening, the wine was set up very elegantly and served, the food was set up nicely and they ensured it was topped up when needed. I have had compliments on the food and the service, so, thank you. I will absolutely call upon you in the future should we require catering.
I would like to thank Acappella Catering for the excellent job you did on catering our luncheon today. Everyone was very pleased with the soup and selection of sandwiches and that definitely helped make our presentation a success. Please rest assured that we will definitely be using your services again and will also recommend you to others.
The quality of the food totally met expectations and the food was on time and everyone we dealt with from the first call was totally professional. My staff was very impressed and asked me to email the caterer's name.
We had enough food, it was delicious, it was on time and the people who set up etc were amazing! We are extremely pleased with A Cappella Catering.
December 2009
The food was great! Feedback was great, the chili had a good level of spice to give a bit of a kick but not too much. Many people complimented the thoughtfulness of the set-up - presentation of the cutlery, the basket for. Overall, everyone was very happy.
Our association was pleased with the food and the quality. There was the perfect amount. Your professionalism helped make our fund raising event a success.
This is the second time now that I have used A Cappella Catering, the first time for a breakfast meeting which I was in attendance for (the food was great then too). You are definitely at the top of my list the next time I require catering.
The food was delivered on time and set up in the requested location which was very important to us and we are very grateful. The food was wonderful and everyone loved the sushi & brushetta. We had more than enough food.
I would just like to say that I have been getting nothing but good feed back about your food and service! The servers were prompt and professional. The turkey and beef was moist and tender. We will definitely be using you again for future social gatherings.
It was excellent. It was the best catered meal I've had in years. Let's stick with this company; they really know what they're doing.
The response for everything that A Cappella provided was nothing but positive. From the quantity of food, the service and most of all the variety and taste of everything that you provided with the foods that you sent us.
I just wanted to send you a quick e-mail to thank you and your team for a wonderful experience. The team you sent out to us were very professional and we thoroughly enjoyed them.

Everything was great! We really appreciate all you guys do! You have never let me down.
We always appreciate the food that A Cappella prepares and this event was no different. Everything was delicious. We had more than enough and appreciate being able to take home enough for a least one supper. The service was on time and very professional. Thank you so much for the excellent job again.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Acappella for the wonderful meal that was prepared for the dinner in my home.

I was very impressed with how easy it was to work with Acappella and will definitely call you next time we are hosting an event. Thank you again for assisting in making the dinner a success!
This was the best meal that we've received so far. That pork in hunter sauce was phenomenal. Everyone loved it. The food was all hot and fresh and delivered in a timely manner. The girl that delivered the meal was very pleasant and set it all up for me and also the salads were crisp and fresh and also very delicious. Thank you so much for meeting our needs. We aim to impress our guests when they visit and today was a good impression.

The high quality of food is always consistent and dependable.
Thank you to the staff (especially the chefs) at A Cappella! You were able to increase my order on last minute notice and I greatly appreciate it!!

Everyone at the event, guests and members of the staff, commented on the quality of the food as beyond expectations. The service arrived on time and done in a very professional way. Thank you for the excellent service and we look forward to our next event served by the one and only one A Cappella.
