My company was hosting a private business dinner were we'd be showing our product to a select number of potential buyers. We knew we didn't want to just rent a room in a restaurant and take out chances. For the expense versus for what we'd get, we weren't sure we'd have the privacy and quality control.\r

I heard about Saveurs from a friend of mine and decided to host the event at a private house with a elegant setting. Not only did Saveurs help me find the right house, but the chef, J.C., designed the perfect menu. We wanted great food and wine but we also wanted the food not to take away from the product presentation (spaghetti would take too much effort to eat and take out Chinese would be too cheesy).\r

We started with appetizers and drinks in the backyard, which had a lovely fountain going into a pool. It was a wonderful setting for mingling and getting to know everyone. Every time the waiters came out with a tray, they didn't get but two feet before the tray was empty. J.C. had plenty of food and he kept it coming. Inside, the five course dinner was a smash and the duck, well just unbelievable. We had some very picky entertainment executives. We knew they had been wined and dined by the best. By the end of the evening we had two executives who wanted to hang with us in the kitchen munching on the tiny leftovers. It became more like a small dinner party than a stale, boring product presentation. Oh, and before I forget, J.C. picked out the perfect wine. We also had him introduce the dinner to the guests. It was the little touches that added that something special.\r

I have to say that I've done these types of events and general holiday parties before. I've had some great chefs, but no one has been as creative and easy to deal with as Saveurs. They even came with us to help pick out the rental furniture, plates, glasses and other tableware that we needed. Thank you for helping make our product preview such a wonderful success
Pros: Everything was perfect; food, wine, service, attention to detail, cleanup
