I would like to thank the folks at Friendship Gardens for the wonderful party we had there Sunday. It was my Grandfather's 90th birthday. The Gardens' people were very friendly, they trucked our family members back and forth in the golf carts, were very accomodating and enjoyed mingling with my family and guests.

The location was beautiful and we all got riding tours of the gardens. My family enjoyed the party very much as well as the hospitality of the staff. I thought the price was a little steep, but in the end it proved worth it. The gardens looked great, despite the crappy weather we've been having and I was very proud to have the party there. We had guests from out of state and they were thrilled by our choice of location.

Also, I would like to thank Elite Catering for the wonderful food. He (I'm sorry I didn't catch his name) was very professional, the food was prepared on-site and was simply delicious.

All in all it was a wonderful event made so much better by the folks from Friendship Gardens and Elite Catering.
