Let’s start with the comments from our guests:
- Our guest of honour was highly complementary of the meal and noted that she dines frequently at Rideau Hall, with the Governor General. Your meal was highly comparable, if not better than some.
- Our out of town guests (Vancouver, Victoria, Richmond, Prince Rupert, Mission, Port Alberni, Port Hardy, Nanaimo, Cowichan, Sunshine Coast, etc.) were “blown away” by the meal and the experience
- A very large number of our local VIP’s commented very favourably and specifically asked for the name of the caterers (which we were delighted to give!)
Now, let’s get on with the experience from our side of the table:
- As hosts, we were able to be totally relaxed and confident of what was going to occur – every detail was exactly as discussed, and the last minute changes were artfully accommodated
- The organizing of an event of this scale was a huge task and it was so marvellous that we could relax on the meal and service side of the plan in the full knowledge that you were taking care of all that grief!
- The dinner and ambience and style reflected the nature and the significance of the event perfectly
- The Iona Campagnolo Annual Lecture on Restorative Justice has gained significant stature in the eyes of the community, and among our political leaders, partners and supporters
- We are already receiving “special pleadings” from those who missed the dinner and would like to be invited to the next one!
