Nicki and Ryan G (Birthday Party)
"The service and the good was excellent, as we expressed to the staff last night, and which Ben and I heard from many of our guests. We also heard from one couple that they are already planning to hire your company for their 40th anniversary next spring, at the same venue.
Thank you for helping to make Ben's birthday such a success."
Karen K (Birthday Party)
"The event went extremely well. My guests and I enjoyed ourselves. Your team did an outstanding job! They were so organized, well equipped and set up a beautiful table. I didn't know they were going to bring the decorations, lovely.
They picked up immediately on things I said to them and didn't need any reminders. All of them are such nice people.
The food kept coming and no one went hungry or without enough beverages. The party turned out just the way I hoped it would, as did the weather.
And I had no work to do, just sat around and enjoyed myself. They moved some heavy chairs for us and at the end, moved everything right back to where it belonged. They left the kitchen clean and tidy.
Thank you, thank you! It was the best birthday party I've ever had."

"I wanted to give you a HUGE thank you for all the amazing catering last night! Your team did an excellent job through and through. The food was DELICIOUS!
Everyone was raving about the pizzas and everything else. I wish you could have heard all the praise.
The staff was terrific making sure everyone had drinks and that there was plenty of food all the time. They also did a great. job with the clean up. I have never catered a party at my house and I am SO happy that we did and that it was your team that did it. Every aspect of it was truly excellent."

"Your whole team was absolutely amazing on Saturday. We can’t wait to hire you again, possibly in February for a work event my husband is hosting at the house. He doesn’t have a date yet, but I’ll be sure to reach out once he does.
My house was left spotless, which was amazing!"

OUR COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY
When you choose Anaviv for your event, not only do you get high-quality catering services, you also invest in the lives of under-resourced young people. A portion of all our event proceeds goes toward support of the Plant to Plate Internship Program, a non-profit organization that mentors and prepares low-income youth to advance their employment opportunities through training in gardening and the culinary arts.
Inspired by Jewish values, we are committed to doing our part to help repair the world (Tikkun olam) by using our kitchen as the hub of the program.
We cherish and welcome your partnership in our commitment to empowering the youth of our community. To learn more about the Plant to Plate Internship program and meet our interns, click here.
