"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." Linda

"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." Christie Smith Events, Advertising and Sponsorship Coordinator Long &
McQuade, Vancouver August 19, 2011 "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!" Alana
Stone Burnaby, BC June 2011
"My 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!" Chris
Thornley President, Thornley Hayne Creative Communications May 2011
"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." Graham & Lee Laxton Greystone Bed & Breakfast Vancouver, B.C. September

"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." Heidi and Andy Rose Vancouver January 10, 2010
"Thank-you for the terrific dinner.
Everyone said it was the best Christmas dinner yet." Dawn & Paul Vancouver December 18, 2009

"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." Monica Jones Vancouver, B.C. August 29, 2009
"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!" Mary Finley West Vancouver, B.C. August 23, 2009
"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! " Barbara Fudge Vancouver, B.C. August 16, 2009
"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." Amanda Jones Vancouver, B.C. July 19, 2009
"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." Joan Mariacher Burnaby, B.C. July 16, 2009 "The Mother's Day Tea was absolutely splendid. The food was to die for! Andy and June were raving about the whole thing in the car on the way home. June thinks you should be giving
lessons to pass on how its done...." Heidi

"Everything
was so outstanding. I might never cook again. I couldn't believe how much everyone ate - not even enough
leftovers for dinner tonight! The appies were a hit as were both lasagnes - the vegans really appreciated
having such choices. I just can't thank you enough." Jan Manson Vancouver, B.C. March
29, 2009 Sit-down dinner for 13 "Just
want to say thank you so very much for the delicious carrot cake you made for my sister's (Doreen) birthday brunch.
I am a carrot cake fan and it was truly the best I ever tasted. Everyone loved it" Colleen
Watson Toronto, Ontario March 29, 2009"We were very pleased with
the quality and quantity of hors d'oeuvres provided. Joanne's team has a knack of making fantastic vegetarian
stuff......this is high praise coming from an Alberta carnivore like me!" Wayne Davis, Director of Administration University of
British Columbia, Department of Surgery December, 2008
"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." Cory Weeds, Burnaby, B.C. November, 2008
