"It was heard over and over again, 'weren't those coconut shrimp to die for,' and indeed, they were the hit of the evening. Thank you for the superb gourmet hors d'oeuvres, beautifully appointed table of spreads, cheeses and the outstanding service during our first annual Santa Rita Hills Wine Tasting Gala. Your delicious food, presentation and efficient staff made this event a complete success. Your willingness to offer expert advice during the early stages was paramount in establishing a smooth plan for the event. Thank Goodness Lori was there to continue on and have everything ready to go in minimum time! We hope we can work with you in the future because no caterer can do it better."

"As a film producer I acknowledge that one of the key elements in providing a safe environment and having a flawless film project is the food. For six days in a row the catering service was in charge of providing three meal courses as well as the craft service. Lori provided our project with a varied, healthy and delicious menu. I highly recommend Lori Cordova Catering for any activity where catering is to be contracted. Personally, I will always have her company as my first choice."

"Sandi and I would like to thank you and your staff for the beautiful display of food you provided for my promotion celebration. The kahlúa pork, teriyaki chicken and pineapple fried rice was absolutely delicious. Of course, the salad was presented beautifully as well, not to mention the tuxedo brownies.
The service staff you provided did a wonderful job of setting up for the event and making sure that the guests were served and happy.  Not only did your staff arrive early, getting them ample time to set up, but they were very accommodating to my family and invited guests.
I look forward to using your services in the near future.  We will continue to sing your praises for a job well done.  By the way, our friends and guests are still complementing the wonderful menu you provided.
All of you and your company are to be commended for your skills and talents.  Thank you again for your help making as to make the promotion to Colonel (luau celebration) a memorable one.

Thanks for contributing to a great send off for our friends."

"It is almost impossible to believe it is more than a week since our beautiful day.  And, Lori, you made it even more beautiful.  Everyone who has complemented our day remarks on the delicious and beautiful food.
Everything you did was not only good, it was excellent! It was lovely to look at and a combination of healthy, succulent, and sweet and tart, and all done so quickly and efficiently, we hardly knew you were here. Tonya was the perfect help, and yes you may both be adopted if you promise to smile at me like you both did while you were here! And come and maybe bring some of those veggies and fruits.  I FEASTED for two days after it was over."
