"On behalf of (our) family I would like to thank everyone at Above & Beyond for helping us put on a spectacular party for our parents 50th Wedding Anniversay last Sunday. The entire experience from planning with Andrea to the event day was fun due to your willingness and desire to accommodate our needs. The food was top notch in the presentation as well as how it tasted. Kevin and I thought it was the best reception food we had ever had so thank you for that. I would also like to mention how patient and accommodating Joan was in helping us with last minute changes and last minute items we needed. Joan and the staff were very pleasant and went about their jobs professionally. They should be commended for a job well done. The setup crew was equally as helpful and friendly.
