TESTIMONIALS
Dear fabulous Art on Tap committee members,
key volunteers, Beer friends, WHNN friends and FIA staff- Great Job!!!! Thank you all so much for all of the hard work on Art on Tap! The end result was a wonderful event! I have been getting feedback from both attendees and volunteers all echoing the same thing....what a beautifully run event this was. The beer selections were top notch, the food was to die for, every detail was noticed and appreciated by many!
Thanks so much to Brad and Cowboy at Fabiano and O'Sullivan for all of your support and direction. It was great working with you both.
Cowboy and Beth, thanks for trekking to Saginaw on that early morning and for all you did to make VIP a success. Beth-I now have a case of that Longtable in my fridge!
To our local breweries-we loved having you. I hope that the experience was a positive one for you ands that it generates much new traffic for all of you.
Luis and Joan- great job on the food. Really had wonderful feedback all night. People loved it!
Scott and Johnny at WHNN-thank you so much for the wonderful promotional package and for just promoting the heck out of this event. We think the FIA is pretty special and we were so happy to have you as part of our AOT family.
Mel-thanks you for all of the hard work recruiting and organizing volunteers. That was quite a learning curve. Kathy-a pleasure to be back in the saddle with you! Thanks for all you did. It was a lot!
Natalia-I hope that you got a good, long sleep after all of this! Your ownership of the event was so evident all the way through. You went above and beyond. Thanks to all of the FIA folks who stepped up to ensure success.
We are still sorting out numbers but if you would, please take time to send either Kathy or myself a critique of the event, the planning, anything you can think of. I look forward to seeing you all at in October! Thanks again to everyone. You made my first year as Chairperson fantastic. I've enjoyed getting to know many of you and look forward to working with you next year!
Cheers!

Joan,
I have to say, you and your staff did an outstanding job. I am so happy with the level of service and the quality of food. The bartender was excellent and your staff was on top of everything all night.
I am so happy we went with Redwood for the wedding. Thank you, thank you, thank you! If you EVER need a personal recommendation for your catering services, I would be more than happy to give them.
Thank you,
Julie Sullivan

Good morning Joan and Chef Luis,
A regional meeting of a national sports organization was held at a local hotel this past Sunday.
I suggested the meeting planner utilize your catering service. I attended the meeting and arrived
early to ensure the catering arrived timely and was set up properly. I needn’t have bothered.
Your delivery staff was efficient and went right to work laying the buffet out in proper servicing format.
The presentation was wonderful and it was nice to see upgraded dinnerware. The food was fabulous and
the guests and the event planner were very pleased. Thank you, again, for yet another outstanding job.
I look forward to using and referring Redwood Steakhouse and Brewery again soon.
Best regards,

Dear Luis and Joan,
The 2013 Art on Tap was another great success! Beer Cuisine was outstanding and many many comments about all the delicious choices. Your set up look great, menu cards were fantastic, servers and Kyle were professional, friendly, cheerful and helpful.
We had plenty of food and think we only ran out of the pita chips. The sweet potato fries were a BIG hit. We don't know our numbers yet so we will see how our attendance and our guarantee matched up:-) Always a tough call...!
We so appreciate your partnership on this event--it was a great evening and event that attracted people of all age groups--potential customers for Redwood Steakhouse and catering and future FIA patrons for the FIA-- all to support the Flint Institute of Arts programing and exhibitions.
With best regards,
Kathy

My husband & I recently contracted with your facility to cater our daughter’s wedding reception. I wanted you to know what a fabulous job your employees did from the very beginning to the very end. It was nothing less than absolutely wonderful. The entire experience was fabulous. From the very first time we contacted Joan to set up an initial meeting and taste test to the very end of the wedding night, your staff was outstanding.
I cannot say enough about Joan Ruhl and Luis Fernandes. They were so very understanding and helpful throughout the process. They thought of everything – things we would have never even thought about and had fantastic recommendations on food & drinks. They visited our site twice prior to the event to ensure everything was appropriate as we were hosting the reception at an outdoor facility with no running water or electricity. They whole experience was extremely nerve-racking to my husband & I as we thought about it but Joan & Luis made us feel so relieved by their comfort level with being able to handle it all. They were amazing.
The staff they brought the night of the reception was terrific. I cannot tell you how many complements we got from numerous people about how good the food was and how very nice and efficient the wait staff were throughout the evening.
We have & will continue to highly recommend your people / facility. Please relay our appreciation and praise to your employees because they truly deserve it.
Thank you.

Chef Luis,
A final note to let you know how pleased we were with our party on Saturday night and how great the food presentation and taste was. We had high expectations and all were met. We have had so many complements on all aspects of the evening. It was great to work with you. The staff was also great to work with. Please pass on to them our thanks. I will think of you when we defrost and finish off our cucumber mango martinis. Thanks again
