You showed professionalism, organization, your presentation was great and you adapted well to your surroundings. I hope I will be in the position soon to use your services again.
Thanks so much!
Yours truly,

On behalf of the social committee, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for a fantastic and well-organized function.

My compliments to your food preparations, the hamburgers and hot dogs were delicious and very much satisfying. Your game organization was very creative and enjoyed by all age groups.
Big thanks for providing us with a little bit extra in both food and games. It gave us great satisfaction to know that you and your staff really enjoy what you do. It shows in your style and performance.
Nicholas, thanks again, and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Royal Bank of Canada - BBQ Catering Event
Dear Nicholas & Jason,
When one thinks of having a bar-b-que, images of leisure, fun, relaxation and grilled food come to mind, however, when these images are combined with a wonderful menu selection, great tasting food, excellent service and professionalism, it takes the bar-b-que experience to a new plateau of exquisite enjoyment.
All our staff members enjoyed the bar-b-que that your company catered. Every detail made a difference, your uniformed staff, the well organized menu board and the most outstanding feature... the visually appealing and deliciously tasting food servings.
Thanks to Simply Barbequed Inc. the event exceeded the expectation of everyone and was a tremendous success, with and overwhelming number of requests for an encore. Being in the banking industry, we are particular about the quality of service that we provide our customers, therefore we are very much aware when we receive quality service. The service that your company provided was of a very high calibre. Thank you once again, we look forward to having your team again for future events and I would also take pride in recommending your company to anyone seeking to enjoy a bar-b-que or catered event with quality food and fine style
Sincerely,
Royal Bank of Canada

Labatts Breweres **- BBQ Catering Event
Simply BBQ;
Today, Sept.12, we had a BBQ for approx. 110 people and I was incredibly impressed with the two gentlemen who catered the BBQ I just wanted to say that the entire experience was so smooth. I organize our social events and will be sure to use Simply BBQ in the future.
First, Nicholas Pratile who dealt with the sale was great to deal with. He answered all my questions (and did so in a timely manner) and everything was planned quite easily - even on the short notice. Then, these two gentleman showed up on time, if not early, and were all prepared and set-up for the time we had needed them. Although we ran late and were not able to get to the BBQ until an hour after the original start time, they were quite courteous and patient about this matter and kept the food hot during this time. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was fast, and the two gentlemen were very courteous to the group. Everything went over so smoothly! They also asked us how to deal with the food afterwards (because they saw that we would have a lot of food left over) half way through the BBQ which gave us enough time to pack up any excess food. I was very pleased with how they handled everything.
Please extend my gratitude to everybody involved in organizing and catering this BBQ. It was perfect.
Once again, an amazing team and an amazing time because of the team! It has always been a good experience working with everyone - from the initial contact with Nick to the team working the barbecue. This makes such a difference as everyone is professional and friendly. The employees enjoyed the barbecue and this is in large part due to Simple Barbequed being such a good company to work with. I would recommend the company to anyone. Thanks to everyone for a wonderful barbecue and see you next year!

Multiple Event Customer
Hi,
This email is long overdue but I wanted to comment on how excellent the Simply BBQ service was for our event held at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine last August. Nicholas Pratile responded immediately and helpfully to every question I had and helped us organize the event on relatively short notice. He was accommodating of our specific requirements as well, even adjusting the price when there were certain products we didn't want to serve for ethical reasons. On the day of the event, the staff were prompt, organized, friendly - I can't say enough. It could not have been a more pleasant experience, from the planning to the event itself. I sincerely want to thank Simply BBQ staff and Nick in particular.
Best regards,

Excellent BBQ again this year. Thank you for being so accommodating to all of our special requests (biodegradable utensils, no sausages, extra chicken and veggie burgers, dairy-free ice cream options, whole wheat buns). We have a very pick crowd but all 450 of them were very pleased! See you again next year.

Hi,
I wanted to comment on the excellent service Simply BBQ provided for our event that was held at the Canada Post Fleet Management Vehicle Service Depot May 28th 2009. Nicholas helped us organize the event on relatively short notice. He was accommodating of our requirements, even adjusting the price when there was an issue with 2 hours extra time. On the day of the event, the staff was not only prompt, but organized and friendly - I can't thank all of you enough. It could not have been a more pleasant experience. I sincerely want to thank the Simply BBQ staff.

I am just dropping you a quick note to let you know that our luncheon last Thursday was flawless. There is nothing that you could have possibly done better. There was a great amount of food, it was cooked to perfection, outstanding selection, food was hot and everyone was delighted. As usual, your service was delivered perfectly. I heard nothing but raves and not one single complaint (which for the record is unheard of!!!!!)
I look forward to utilizing your services again because what you do, makes me look good.

In the past, we usually do our own BBQ's but after using the services of Simply BBQ, I don't think we'd ever go back to that format. Everyone enjoyed the food, the ice cream and the music and the Simply BBQ team were very friendly and made it a stress-free occasion for me.
