HeavenScent catered our recent 60th Anniversary Party and they did a wonderful job. They arrived on schedule and had everything set up and looking extremely welcoming when our guests arrived. The food was delicious and everything was made from scratch. They promised we would never run out of anything and we didnt. They even took the leftovers, at our request, to Stone Soup where we hope everyone enjoyed the treats. We would certainly recommend them but you have to book early as they only do one event per day, and are already having to turn down requests for certain dates in 2019. Thanks again

Previously left a negative review due to reckless driving by this company's employee. The business owner called to apologize and let me know it had been taken care of. Clearly this is a company that cares about its public image and the safety of the community. I would recommend using this company if you want to know you're in good caring hands. Thank you for taking the incident seriously, Heaven Scent!
