"The dinner went really well.  Thank you so much for the delicious food, the amazing
desserts and the impeccable service.  Our faculty and students were all praise for
the food. The only reason there were leftovers was due to the fact that our students
ran out of containers in which to pack it for their lunches the next day.  I would
like to personally thank you for going the extra mile to accommodate the dietary
requirements of one student. I also appreciated your time and patience and the extra
care you took to plate and present the food.  All in all much of the credit for the
success of our dinner goes to you.  Many thanks from our faculty, students and
myself."

"Our event went very well and the food was wonderful!  We weren’t sure how the guys would react because they are used to barbecue lunches, but they all LOVED the wraps and the salads, delicious homemade chips and desserts.  Many, many glowing reviews!  My personal favourite was the couscous salad.  Best I ever had! 

 Thanks for a great spread, good service and excellent prices.  We will definitely use you again."

"I hired Jazz Cats Catering for our school staff party in June as I had had great experiences previously with Jazz Cats at other functions that I had attended. I gave Joanne approximate numbers and a budget and she was very accommodating to the requests and needs of our staff. I received many compliments on the quality, freshness, and presentation of the food. There was lots of food to go around! I would highly recommend Joanne and Jazz Cats Catering to others and look forward to when I can have them come and do another function for us. Thanks Jazz Cats, you did a wonderful job!"

"M
y name is Chris Thornley and for the past few years my sons have taken me down to the Cellar Jazz club as my annual father’s day gift.

This year we decided to do something for Mom. What a great afternoon - Fun and Classy at the same time. The room looked great, tulips and soft lighting.

We started with a Pink champagne cocktail followed by a sampler of finger foods and deserts topped off with great music!

Well done Joanne!"

"We recently contacted Joanne at Jazz Cat's Catering to provide food and service to a Birthday/Anniversary party to be held in our home. Over 80 guests were invited and the event was to be both indoors & outdoors.  As it was to be an afternoon event, we opted to utilize Joanne's English High Tea with menu items both passed around and self serve on a table.

We received many compliments on the quality and presentation of the food items as well on the friendliness of the servers.  Half an hour after the party ended, Joanne and her team left and the kitchen area was spotless.

A job very well done!  We would highly recommend Joanne and Jazz Cats Catering for any function that you are planning."

"The combination of fabulous food, great live music and courteous efficient service made this special birthday party a once-in-a-life time experience. We can't thank Joanne & Jazz Cats Catering enough for taking our dream and making it happen. It was all we hoped for and more.  We received many calls thanking us again and again for the wonderful party....but it's Jazz Cats that deserves the credit."

"Joanne came all the way to Saskatoon to cater my mother's 90th birthday afternoon. It was a wonderful time with 100 people celebrating this happy event. The food was spread out buffet style. Initially guests circled the table, admiring the beauty of it all, but it was not long before everyone was savoring the wonderful food."

"Many thank-yous are coming in, and all of them mention the fabulous food we had. Thank-you so much for taking over and making it a very successful party. I kind of like the "abdicating all responsibility" form of hosting and may have to make it my new modus operandi! I was able to relax and enjoy myself as much as possible knowing everything was in very capable hands. We were all grateful. Well done!"

"Jazz Cats Catering is a delightful new food experience on the Vancouver scene.  Joanne can make everyone happy with her original creations and flexibility.  Responding to my plea for her help to plan a family function, she provided great ideas in advance, and was there on the day to ensure an event that impressed everyone.  I recommend "Jazz Cats Catering" with great enthusiasm! "

"Jazz Cats Catering made my Canadian citizenship party such a special event. The unique menu you created based on the produce and cuisine of our provinces and territories was a hit with all my friends. The food was not only extremely delicious but also exquisitely presented.

Your high standards of planning, organisation and attention to detail never cease to amaze me. Knowing you were taking care of the food relieved me of much of my usual party stress, leaving me free to celebrate with my guests. Needless to say, I'm recommending Jazz Cats Catering to all friends."

"Joanne and her crew outdid themselves last Sunday.  The food was amazing, plentiful and beautifully presented.  Great staff took good care of us all.  The Jazz Cats Trio (Cory Weeds on tenor sax, Bill
Weeds on guitar and Doug Stephenson on bass) added singer Melody Diachun for the afternoon and they were outstanding.

I was delighted with the afternoon and so were my guests.  I recommend both Jazz Cats Catering and the Jazz Cats Trio without reservation."

"
I
think I was one of the first to benefit from Joanne Clifton’s Catering events back in August, 2004.    I was retiring from my job and wanted to thank all those I had worked with over the years.  I consulted Joanne, who I knew was an excellent cook,  and solicited her help.


I gave Joanne an approximate number of people,  i.e. forty persons, and a budget.  She provided me with an innovative proposed menu for approval, which I accepted in its entirety. 

On the day, Joanne arrived in plenty of time to prep and lay out.  The fact that it was raining did not phase her.  We rearranged the inside furniture to accommodate all the dishes etc.


In summary the menu, presentation and serving were all excellent.   I would have no hesitation in recommending Joanne’s services."

"I hired Jazz Cats for a party I was throwing and was absolutely thrilled with the results. Not only was the food delicious, it was different than what you get at other catered events.  The food was very refreshing and a lot of time, care and passion went into the preperation."
