Parties By Panache

We never thought we could get so excited about a caterer, but then we met Hollis from Parties by Panache. We held a dessert reception for our wedding in September 2008. From the initial phone call through the entire event, they were wonderful! I found Parties by Panache randomly on the internet and was a little skeptical at first, since I hadn't heard of them (we live in LA, Hollis is in Orange County). The first phone call was enough to convince me -- while other caterers asked me exactly what I wanted and seemed confused about doing a dessert reception, Hollis immediately shared my creative vision and started throwing out fantastic ideas for how to make the event beautiful and fun without costing an arm and a leg. Our ceremony and reception were held at our synagogue, and Hollis is very experienced at working with "blank canvas" social halls. The desserts were great, everybody loved the stations she set up (especially crepes suzette), the room looked beautiful and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Hollis and her staff went above-and-beyond, even setting up the table centerpieces that I had purchased and picking up the linens I had rented from another company! No complaints, only praise!
