catering and food. We can not express our delight and satisfaction enough because we chose Michael Forbes for this service. We had chicken marsala, brisket, cheesy corn, salad and a few other selections that were absolutely delicious. Well prepared and we had so many guests complimenting us on the food!! HUGE success! And I must point out that all of this could not have happen without the support and guidance of Rebecca Harvey at Michael Forbes. She was excellent, working with us on the menu, answering questions, follow up and being there for any need!!! She was one of the BEST vendors we worked with for this wedding...and that is saying a lot when you have so much stress going on. So, no doubt, we highly recommend Michael Forbes catering and their staff for when considering this responsibility. Cheers to you guys!!!!!!!!!!!
