"I just wanted to drop you a little thank you note for everything and let you know how FANTASTIC everything was!  Our guests RAVED about the food (the smashed potatoes were phenomenal).  I also heard numerous times (and agree myself) that the filet was one of the best I've had.  It was one of the most tender filets ever and it melted in everyone's mouth!  The food was truly icing on the cake and completely made our special event!  Thanks again for your help and patience and understanding with all my questions.  You were a pleasure to work with and I will definitely recommend y'all to everyone I know for their special events, although, I'm pretty sure the food did the talking for me!

I cannot tell you how well my party went on 12/26.  I could not tell if this was my party or Jonathon’s party.  He did an exceptional job.  His detail to the food and the bar are beyond reproach.  Thank you so much for working with me this year and I look forward to more parties going forward"

 "Ryan (and Gary and Catherine),
We just wanted to send a quick note to thank you for making our wedding perfect for us. The food was beautiful and delicious (We didn't eat much at the reception, but we devoured the to-go boxes at the hotel!) and everyone keeps raving about you guys. The food definitely helped make the party "us," and added to all the fun that was had. Plus, everything went off without a hitch, which we can imagine is a difficult task when you're dealing with 300ish wedding guests. And to Catherine, our wedding cake was STUNNING. It was even more amazing than I had envisioned, and I can't wait to see professional pictures of it! Again, we sincerely thank all of you and your team for your hard work and for pulling off a fantastic event that was so memorable for us and all of our guests. We'll definitely recommend you guys any time we can. "

"Just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the catering for our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding October 23.  The presentation was beautiful, the service and attention by the servers was perfect, the food was fabulous and almost every bite was eaten.  Thank you so much for a stress-free catering job.  Since you have done so much catering for us at work, I knew this would be one thing I would not have to worry about, and I was not disappointed. Thanks again for the wonderful job.  I will always recommend you when the opportunity arises for me to do so. "
    -J. Crowson, Oct 2010 
"Thank you so very much for everything.  The food was amazing and the service was great.  Thank you for working with me on such short notice and for allowing me to tweak the numbers to what would work best for our people.  The amount of food was spot on with very little left over. I've already had several folks ask who the caterer was, so I'm sure you'll be getting some more business....along with mine."

"Dear Drapers, especially Gary,    
I just had to write you and thank you for the wonderful job your staff did at my daughter Jessica's  wedding Friday night at the Botanical Gardens.  They were so professional and thorough both setting it all up and taking it all down.  We heard many compliments on the food..the pasta, sauces, dips, fruit, and especially the brisket.  My husband was so excited and busy that he didn't even get to taste it but heard all about it from everyone else.  Thank you for being as good as I thought you would be.  I will recommend you to everyone.  Thanks again!  Let me know when you are baking cheesecake again..I want to just drop by. "

 "Dear Gary,
We would like to say “Thank you” to you and your staff for the catering and cakes at our July 30, 2010 wedding.  The fantastic hospitality we received from the tasting to the day of the wedding. Everyone thought the food was fantastic. My nine year old nephew thought the pasta station was the best idea ever. Thank you Cathy for the wonderful cakes… that were so beautiful. Your serving staff were very professional and did an outstanding job from the presentation to the responsive bar staff  and making sure that everything was cleaned up with no questions ask. Thank you again, for making my dream day a success!"

The purpose of this note is to say "Thank You" in every language on earth for the very fine job Draper's Catering did in covering my daughter's wedding on June 24th, 2010 at the Cadre.  Every aspect working with Draper's was a joy, from my initial contact with Ryan, to the food tasting with Dianne Trammell and you, and finally the event itself.  The food was delicious, the presentation beautiful, and the service impeccable.  Please thank your fine staff for everything.  Because of the care and nurturing you put into your business, in a hands-on way, there can only be great things in store for you."

My husband and I were so very pleased with the rehearsal dinner last Friday night.  Draper's did a perfectly wonderful job.. Matt and Jon really went above and beyond to make it a success, and we really appreciate all they did. The food was EXECELLENT! So many of our guests went back to the food tables again and again for more... all comments A+. If I thought it would arrive safely, I would have you send some vegetable lasagna and tiramisu (and a coconut creme pie) for our dinner tonight. Yum!! Thank you for your help and for making the wedding weekend a success!"
