2015 HOLIDAY MENUS

Testimonials“Your sales and operations team did a fabulous job for our visiting team and the all-day

and night Leadership Sponsored events on that date. The Proof of the Pudding

team was there with spot on, top notch service from early in the morning setting a

beautiful breakfast buffet, quick change over to a perfect lunch and into the evening

reception showcase event with great service and great food. I was proud to have

recommended Proof of the Pudding to handle the day, and our out of town team

were well pleased. Please pass along my gratitude to the team that took car of us on

this day and I look forward to working with you on future events.
