I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful service and spreads last night! Our event was a tremendous
success, and your involvement was certainly part of it. I am sorry that I couldn't spare two minutes to sample
everything, but I only heard amazing things from the guests - especially the desserts! I would love to set up
some time to sample your menus, as so many of our events require catering needs here in NYC Your staff
was also fantastic, so please pass on my sincere thanks to the group. I only wish I could've devoted more
time to you and your preparations! Hopefully we can set something up soon, and I look forward to working
with you again!

-‐Doherty Earth Observatory Open House occurs every year. Every year over 3500 people come to this small
campus to view and interact with the 200+ scientific presentations and exhibits related to earth and environmental
sciences. A complex event that is always highly successful, except for the Food Tent. Since 2002, the food tent has been
a source of frustration even when we kept it simple. But in 2007 we gave the contract to Flame Deal and were
impressed and definitely relieved because we knew we had solved our Food Tent nightmare. Flame Deal was organized,
professional, creative and most importantly, GREEN. We are looking forward to them joining us again and again and
again.

Wedding Testimonials

Spring

extra mile for us from beginning to end. We enjoyed planning our event with you because you made us feel
comfortable and we loved your personality as well as your staff. Our guests loved the food... From the first
tasting right down through our wedding buffet to the final cupcake! The Fun friendly atmosphere you
provided was also amazing! The lighting you provided blew me away on the alter and like you said

to thank for that! -- Tracey and Dan 2008 at Landmark on the Park

Summer

"You and your crew did a great job. The food was masterful and we received several comments about how
"it was the best food I've ever had at a wedding." The event was flawlessly smooth - even with the act of
God thunderstorm. The service was impeccable, to the point that even my irascible family members had
nothing to complain about...a true miracle! And, as for decor, you took a great raw space and turned it into a
truly chic experience - with a totally different feel indoors from out, just like we requested. It was
outstanding. What are you doing around the time of our one year anniversary...we were thinking of a little
get together...."On a Side note - my friend and colleague, Liz, was telling me today how ridiculously hot the

and the flowers. Thank you, thank you l, thank you ! The Day definieitly would not have been as special
if you would not have been involved! -- Tony and Roy at T he Foundry

Even
though it's been a few months, everyone still is talking about how it is the best wedding they have ever been
to. I think the custom Patron ice luge you had made for us had a lot to do with it! Even other people who
were married at the Angel Orensanz, like we were, and had different caterers and event production are
referring your services to other brides to be. Your passion for your work clearly made a difference in the final
product. After looking around for the right caterer to handle the biggest day in my life to date, I knew that
you would be the only one who could get the job done. You did not disappoint!! :) Everyone else I spoke
with was so focused on getting out price quotes based on typical weddings, that they did not take the time to
understand what look and feel we were going for on our special day. You took all of these things into account
and made it happen within our budget. It's not everyday that a tequila inspired wedding comes along, and
you made it come to life without flowers. Every last detail was attended to from the lemon/lime/aloe
centerpieces to the model-esque staff. And the food....WOW! I never really liked wedding food, but who can
pass up Chris's short ribs and potato crusted sea bass?? The mini burgers, french fry cones, and cocktail

year old grandparents were up and dancing. After everything was over, I really wanted to get married all over
again because we had such a great time and we have an amazing day to treasure for the rest of our lives. You
made that possible! Thank you very much and I will always gladly recommend your services to any other
--Jennifer and Josh
