I just wanted to drop you a thank you note to express our gratitude for all that you did to make our daughter's babtism event so special.  You were quite a pleasure to work with; you were very professional, creative, organized, personal and your creativity was amazing!  We enjoyed seeing your "work" come to life and the food and presentation were perfection.  Thank you for giving me the gift of enjoying our special day.  The guests loved your food and we were proud to have you a part of our home.  We look forward to working with you again.  Fondly, Amie and Brendan L.

Thank you SO much for all the FABULOUS food last night-it was truly amazing!  Above and beyond what I had imagined.  All night long I heard rave reviews from my friends and family about how good the food was.  And I got several emails today from folks raving about how awesome the food was....as well as a few calls from family.  Your service was OUSTANDING!  Tip top!  You and your staff were just incredible, cannot say more about how friendly and efficient they were.  I cannot thank you enough for all you did to make my 40th birthday one of the best nights of my life.  I'm still reeling over how much fun I had last night!  Thanks again-Anne C.

Joseph, Chuck and I were so thrilled with how the evening turned out.  You said "This party is going to be such a hit!" It truly was for us and all our guests.  You and your staff were outstanding on every aspect of the evening.  Don't be surprised if you get more business from this group as so many of them asked "who's your caterer?" AND I will definitely be in touch when I have an appropriate work event to enlist your wonderful services.  Cheers, Anna M.

OMG, really!  Do you have any ideas how many calls I have received today to rave about the FOOD!!!  You did an absolutely incredible job!  Thanks so much for making it a really fantastic day.  How did I luck out to have YOU and perfect weather all in the same day!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Till next time...  Cheri J.

Thank you for the wonderful work you and your associates did helping us with our cocktail party.  You made everything look so easy but I know that you were kept very busy both with the advance preparation and the food and beverage serice at the party.  The food was excellent and the staging and decor were the very best.  Your servers really did a great job "delivering the goods" ot our guests.  So much so in fact, our guests raved about the event for several weeks afterward.  Once again, thank you for helping to make our event memorable. Sincerely, J. Michael W.

This is to let you know that I was very pleased to have you cater our dinner party in honor of the Minister of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade of Brazil at my residence.  The service was impeccable and the food, according to all the guests, delicious.  Everybody had a great time and I am looking forward to seeing you in a future opportunity.  Sincerely, Georges L.; Consulate General of Brazil; San Francisco

We would like to thank you sincerely for catering two of our company parties for Kurt Orban Parnters, L.L.C., Specialty Steel Trading.  We sought your services a second time, as our first experience with you was superb.  While our guests complimented your presentation, they more significatnly enjoyed (and devoured) all the hor d'ouevres.  Your famous "secret" brownies were a special request for the second event.  I particularly appreciated the fact that you took charge-and just made the party go smoothly, without interruption, I was able to entertain guests.  I also appreciate the particulars, such as you and your team-taking the time to discard recycling appropiately.  We were all pleased with the entire presentation, food and clean-up.  In essence we were pleased with your perfect professionalism.  Thank you again, and we will be seeking your services again in the future. Tina Jo O.- Emerald Hills,

Thank you so much for the fabulous job you did for our party and for taking so many extra steps to ensure a beautiful presentation and even great party flow!  I really appreciate it! See you soon, Mariam from San Francisco

On behalf of the Junior League of Palo Alto and Mid-Peninsula, I would like to thank you for your expertise and professionalism with our annual Sustainer Cocktail Party on June 3, 2005.  It was the most successful event the sustainers have ever had.  With almost 200 guests attending the event, we were able to showcase our theme "Under the Country Sun" with a special venue that had not been offered in the past.  your food preparation and table decorations were outstanding.  Not only were the guests offered something different, but they were able to taste fabulous food prepared by a professional chef.  Your spicy peanut noodles in spoons and marinated tuna on wonton crisps were the hit of the evening.  Not to mention the strawberry topiary trees that you assembled!  Everyone was so impressed.  You and your staff were wonderful to work with and so well organized.  You are a true find and I look forward to having you at several events in the future.  You offered so much to our event both in food preperation and personality.  Thank you, again, for all of your had work and supporting our league. Sincerely, Susan M.-Chairman; Woodside

Just wanted to thank you again!  It was a fabulous party and my only regret was that I didn't have a bigger plate so I could eat more-everything was absolutely delish!  Thank you for helping make my birthday a truly memorable one!-Karen from Burlingame

Wanted to get in touch and say thank you for the stellar performance Friday night at our small company party.  I was most impressed with you and your servers.  Everyone agreed the food was fantastic.  Everyone raved about the brownies...we divided them up at the end of the night in bags for guests to take home...they asked for them!!  I intend to use you for our housewarming event!  If you need a recommendation, please don't hesitate to ask. Regards, Tina -from Emerald Hills

Thank you for catering our wedding.  We had a great experience and were delighted with your creativity and the food.  It was appreciated by everyone!  thanks again, Eliza & Jerry from Castro Valley

We were reffered to Butler For Hire by word of mouth.  Our company was approaching its 20th year anniversary and we wanted to celebrate it in style. Based on the resounding referral we received, we hired Joseph to cater an open house.  The food was plentiful, delicious, and presented with an eye for elegance and beauty.  joseph's staff was professional and gracious.  It became obvious that Joseph is passionate about food, service and style.  From set-up to clean-up, Joseph and crew were attentive, competent and professional.  In fact, we asked them to come back and cater a retirement party (another success), and we will use their services again with confidence at the next opportunity.  I have no reservations recommending Joseph and his staff for any occasion-Meredith S.: Whitlely Burchett & Associates; Walnut Creek

Joseph at Butler For Hire is a delight.  His food is excellent, prepared and delivered with panache.  He has many menu selections, if flexible and easy to work with in crafing the best menu for that party and that mood and season.  He adapts to the kitchen easily and by the second time, he makes it his own with no direction.  He has responded to last minute panic calls as well as to well planned and scheduled ones.  His serving help is excellent as well.  If you hire Joseph, and I urge you to do that, you will be the most honored guest at your own party.  We entertain relatively often, have used a number of catereers, including large well known firms from the city, and enjoy what he creates, his devotion to detail and predictably top flight service best of all.  Joseph was recommended by a friend who engaged him as well as another friend who attended a party that he had catered.  All were well pleased.  Yours truly, Nancy F.
