They ruined my wedding and took no responsibility for it. They did what I asked them not to do and then ignored all the requests I did make, simple things that should have been done were lacking such as champaign toast when we made our speech.
If you want to remember your event in a positive way then hire someone else and if you want your special day to feel like a black hole in your heart the Saffron 59 all the way.
Pros: appetizers
Cons: They do not listen

We were so lucky to have had each of you to help plan our wedding, and cannot tell you enough just how much your efforts meant to us and that yes, a year later, our friends and family continue to comment on the breathtaking atmosphere, the awesome music, the delicious food and the unique checker cab. The pictures and video truly captured that day and all the emotion present.
Thank you all again for all that you did and for providing us with a lifetime of memories...
Hope you're all well.
Fondly,
Chari Corpuz & Scott Rossillo

Dear Saffron and the team:
You and your Saffron 59 colleagues did a wonderful job on the food and atmosphere for my party. Your food was exquisite and the several wines that you chose were great. I especially appreciated the lovely ware that the passed hors d'oeuvres came around on and the splendid service your colleagues provided. Many of our guests said they were quite blown away with Saffron's catering. We hope you will be willing to cater our housewarming and many other parties soon

Here it is finally, our heartfelt recommendation of your great team!!
"Working with Saffron 59 is a dream, for the palate and the spirit! From a truly inspired wedding banquet of 250 to an intimate wine dinner for 12 at our home, we have always been impressed beyond measure by their delicious, wonderfully creative and visually stunning creations. True to her Southeast Asian heritage, but always finding new ways to interpret those flavors, Irene never fail to surprise and wow a crowd. Always thoughtful of our needs and special wishes, Saffron truly embodies catering par excellence. And Saffron's remarkable team puts our minds at ease knowing that our affair will be run smoothly, professionally and one to talk about and cherish long after. We are looking for a reason to call on you again - soon!"
All best/Estelle
