"My shower was perfect in every single way!"

"One of the best parts was how relaxed and involved my mother, maid of honor and bridesmaids could be. Marylyn made it easy for them to focus on enjoying the party (and the delicious food she prepared,) by stepping in and taking care of it all on her own. Not only was the food a smash with all of the guests, but the presentation was beautiful and added such a personal touch to each plate. We both highly recommend Marylyn

Just as one small example, whenever I asked a member of the Just Hors D'oeuvres team about what they were serving, they were able to answer in a well-informed and complete manner, which, for a crowd that included vegetarians, those with food allergies, and others with specific needs, was incredibly helpful...

"The food was delicious, elegantly presented, substantial, and truly crowd pleasing at a reasonable price. Marylyn was there every step of the way, in advance, to guide us through with countless professional recommendations. The staff could not have been more helpful, welcoming, or accommodating to every need - I had several needs myself and each was met with above-and-beyond service.
