CORPORATE

“I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful service and spreads last night! Our event was a tremendous success, and your involvement was certainly part of it. I am sorry that I couldn't spare two minutes to sample everything, but I only heard amazing things from the guests - especially the desserts! I would love to set up some time to sample your menus, as so many of our events require catering needs here in NYC….. Your staff was also fantastic, so please pass on my sincere thanks to the group. I only wish I could've devoted more time to you and your preparations! Hopefully we can set something up soon, and I look forward to working
with you again!”

-- Lauren Sadowski, Marketing Coordinator, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“The presentation was amazing, and your employees were great. Everything was refilled before it needed to be, and they were seriously serving the clients. The spare ribs were definitely a hit (you were right), as was the chicken breast, and it was all delicious. The cookies were great also! “Overall, everything was fantastic”. Again, everything was absolutely great. Delicious food. Clients were happy. We were happy. It was perfect.

-- Jennifer Ryan. COUNTRY LIVING MAGAZINE

Fundraisers and Non- For-Profit- Events

“The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Open House occurs every year. Every year over 3500 people come to this small campus to view and interact with the 200+ scientific presentations and exhibits related to earth and environmental sciences. A complex event that is always highly successful, except for the Food Tent. Since 2002, the food tent has been a source of frustration – even when we kept it simple. But in 2007 we gave the contract to Flame Deal and were impressed and definitely relieved because we knew we had solved our Food Tent nightmare. Flame Deal was organized, professional, creative and most importantly, GREEN. We are looking forward to them joining us again and again and
again.

--Vilma Gallagher, Events Manager, The Earth Institute of Columbia University & Stacey Vassallo, Development Officer, LAMONT- DOHERTY EARTH OBSERVATORY of COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.

“The food was absolutely amazing! We received so many compliments on the quality, the presentation and the service; thank you very much for this critical aspect of the night. We are grateful for all your hard work and it really showed through the delicious spread of sustenance you provided. We look forward to working with you again next year!

-- Ethan Ruby, Founder, POKER 4 LIFE

“I too would like to thank you for your wonderful food and catering. Everyone said positive things about the food and the service. In fact I think that there are people in the office who may contact you about further events of ours. We are always in need of caterers who are flexible and can work under our hectic last minute conditions. Thanks again! “

--Douglas Mercer, DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS/Medecins Sans Frontieres

“Flame catered a number of events for us. Her service particularly was attentive and detailed. We are not the easiest company to satisfy but Flame’s dedication and commitment to pleasing did not go unnoticed.
The circumstances were not always ideal, but she always came through in a pinch for us.”

-- Jared Winley, Public and Media Relations , NEW YORK JETS

Weddings

Spring

“Wow! Words cannot describe in Awe we were of our own wedding! You and your staff really went the extra mile for us from beginning to end. We enjoyed planning our event with you because you made us feel comfortable and we loved your personality as well as your staff. Our guests loved the food... From the first tasting right down through our wedding buffet to the final cupcake! The Fun friendly atmosphere you provided was also amazing! The lighting you provided blew me away on the alter and like you said “transform the space” ….. We have been to several weddings after ours and the food has not compared …… you provided the perfect balance of taste and flavor…. We will never forget our special day and we have you to thank for that!

-- Tracey and Dan 2008 at Landmark on the Park

Summer

"You and your crew did a great job. The food was masterful and we received several comments about how "it was the best food I've ever had at a wedding." The event was flawlessly smooth - even with the act of God thunderstorm. The service was impeccable, to the point that even my irascible family members had nothing to complain about...a true miracle! And, as for decor, you took a great raw space and turned it into a truly chic experience - with a totally different feel indoors from out, just like we requested. It was outstanding. What are you doing around the time of our one year anniversary...we were thinking of a little get together...."On a Side note - my friend and colleague, Liz, was telling me today how ridiculously hot the wait staff at our event was.”

-- Matt & Dagmara 2008 at The Foundry

Fall and Winter

“Thank you for the FASTASTIC job you guys did on our reception!” People are still raving about the food and the flowers. Thank you, thank you l, thank you ! The Day definieitly would not have been as special
if you would not have been involved!

-- Tony and Roy at The Foundry

“Josh and I just wanted to say thank you for the most beautiful wedding we could have imagined. :) Even though it's been a few months, everyone still is talking about how it is the best wedding they have ever been to. I think the custom Patron ice luge you had made for us had a lot to do with it! Even other people who were married at the Angel Orensanz, like we were, and had different caterers and event production are referring your services to other brides to be. Your passion for your work clearly made a difference in the final product. After looking around for the right caterer to handle the biggest day in my life to date, I knew that you would be the only one who could get the job done. You did not disappoint!! :) Everyone else I spoke with was so focused on getting out price quotes based on typical weddings, that they did not take the time to understand what look and feel we were going for on our special day. You took all of these things into account and made it happen within our budget. It's not everyday that a tequila inspired wedding comes along, and you made it come to life without flowers. Every last detail was attended to from the lemon/lime/aloe centerpieces to the model-esque staff. And the food....WOW! I never really liked wedding food, but who can pass up Chris's short ribs and potato crusted sea bass?? The mini burgers, french fry cones, and cocktail franks were huge hits also……. We wanted everyone to feel comfortable and the whole event production catered to that, even my 80 year old grandparents were up and dancing. After everything was over, I really wanted to get married all over again because we had such a great time and we have an amazing day to treasure for the rest of our lives. You made that possible! Thank you very much and I will always gladly recommend your services to any other bride looking for the experience of a lifetime”

-- Jennifer and Josh
