Words That Inspire Us Daily

Pear Tree Catering did a fabulous job, as always, with the food, the presentation, etc. Our management team members that were in attendance said it couldn’t have been a better event! Please pass along our thanks to all of your team and let them know we appreciated what an awesome job they did! We will definitely be calling again for future catering needs.

Regarding our recent event, the service food display and food were sensational. Your staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. They get an A+ from start to finish. I would recommend your company to anyone planning an event and look forward to using your services again.

We can’t thank you enough for the extraordinary job you and your staff did at our party last night. The food was absolutely delicious and every item was truly terrific. Two of our guests have celiac disease and were thrilled to eat the (gluten free) food you provided. I hope you heard how people were raving—we continued to get calls the day after the party with the highest compliments to the Chef! With much gratitude and appreciation, Margie and Mark

I have been to events Pear Tree catered and knew the food was always delicious. I knew I would use Pear Tree for my son’s graduation. The day of the party was PERFECT!!! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. My favorite part was how the nicely kicked me out of my kitchen and told me to enjoy myself—which I did! The Chef and serving staff were very professional. It was the best party ever held at my house. Thank you Pear Tree!

The food and staff are amazing! From the first phone call to inquire about our party to setting up, it was a wonder experience. Every item we had on our menu was devoured and raved about by our guests. Thank you so much for making my daughter’s wedding shower a great success.

We had wonderful service and food from Pear Tree on Saturday for a large adult birthday party. Everything was delicious, the server and bartender were excellent and the manager of the event was very friendly and very competent. After they left, not one thing was out of place — they did a great job cleaning up.

I just wanted to say thank you for such an amazing event last night! We appreciate all you did to make it so impactful! The food was probably my favorite that I’ve had at this type of event and I know the other guests were loving it! I would really love a chance to work with you again and utilize The Birchstone in the future and hope to see your teams at more upcoming events!

I wanted to reach out to personally thank you and the entire team for our event tonight. I couldn’t wait to tell you how grateful we are for you and the team’s hard work and efforts from start to finish. I do want to shout out Kathryn as she was fantastic in leading the team and the evening flowed so well. The team also made it SUPER easy for set up and it was absolutely beautiful – our execs and teams were blown away by the experience at our very own lounge!

A Perfect Party
We just hosted an 80th surprise party for my aunt. When the planning began I knew that I wanted to enjoy the party with the rest of the guests so I called Pear Tree. After giving them some ideas of what we wanted the feel to be they planned a perfect menu within our budget. I cannot say enough great things about the team that came out to relieve me of my normal duties. They were gracious, on top of every detail, so warm and caring to all our guests and Chef Jesse is an absolute wonder. The food was incredible. If you are new to Pear Tree then let me tell you that their presentation skills are unlike any I’ve ever seen. They will create a beautiful scene working within your budget and the food is delicious. Very high quality in every way. If you are looking for a local caterer, call them! I have received so many compliments on a surprise party that went off perfectly and was enjoyed by all 60 of our guests. Thank you AGAIN Pear Tree! “
