Dear Marc,
Just thought you would like to know that people are still telling me that the birthday party that you did for my wife in May 2000 is still the best party they have ever attended. Every time we have a small gathering people ask if we are having Rincon Beach Club and catering do the food.
Last weekend we went to a wedding which was very nicely done, but 10 or 12 friends came up and said that it didn't hold a candle to the party we had at Rincon Beach Club.
I love to cook and barbeque, and we entertain frequently, but ever since our party at your beach club, my friends and family have taken special interest in my health. They often say that I look tired, or are working so hard, why don't I just have Rincon Catering whip something up. I guess my friends and family prefer your cooking to mine.
Best regards and wishes to you, your family, and your wonderful staff.
Sincerely,
Jeff Rapport

Dear Marc and Melissa,
Please accept our sincerest thanks for your generous donation of wonderful desserts for the Carpinteria Education Foundations Fall Harvest fundraiser on September 17. Approximately 200 people were in attendance, and the delicious food was commented on quite prominently! We succeeded in raising over $20,000, which will be directly allocated to providing grants for teaching innovations, classroom supplies and school equipment for all size schools in the Carpinteria Unified School District.
As Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." Thank you for your help in making a positive change for Carpinteria's kids!
Sincerely,

Dear Marc -
You gave me and my guests the most spectacular dinner party I could imagine! It was a magical, mystical, delicious evening. Thanks can not be enough to tell you how moved I feltby the beauty of the evening you and your staff created. I wish I had a photographer to capture the evening. But perhaps it can only be captured by the heart and held as a treasured memory!
With deep gratitude -

Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce 47th Annual Awards
Girls Inc of Carpinteria
[300 Guests]
The Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce held its 47th annual Community Awards Banquet on January 15, 2005. The entire event was very successful with great thanks to Marc and Melissa of Rincon Beach Club and Catering. The entire meal was excellent with superb service by the waiter staff. They were efficient and friendly yet unobtrusive. I personally heard many positive comments from banquet attendees complimenting Rincon on both the food and the service. We look forward to working with them again next year.

Equity Office Project
Dear Marc,
Thank you so much for all the enormous effort you put forth for the Equity Office project. We are fully aware of the hard work you did on this and can't thank you enough. Gratification came the moment we realized that the guests simply adored their dinners.
Vikki's funny story:
Needing to be watchful of dinner progress so I could have the buses waiting when the crowd was ready, I peered down from the staircase of the Reserve Room to check. The plates were bare, so bare that I needed to investigate further. I walked down the stairs and walked right up to the dinner table. I couldn't believe my eyes! The plates were not just bare, they were spotless. There wasn't even a drop of sauce left on them. The sight brought laughter to me which I shared with the diners, " You people have positively devoured this dinner!" I said to the guests within earshot.
"Well, it was simply delicious!" replied the guests.
After telling them that their actions were highest praise to the caterer, I retreated and returned to my role as coordinator.
It really is the highest compliment, Marc. Your dinner was delicious and beautifully presented and flawlessly served. Thank you so much. Special event planners are only as good as the vendors they find to work with them. We have often reflected in the last few months about the circumstances of finding you and Lisa. There must have been an angel involved.
Many, many thank for a job - extraordinarily well done!
Very truly yours,
Ms. Victoria C. Frank, CMP
Principal
Thanks, too, for the wonderful job you did at Friday's wine four lunch. I heard several comments about the ceviche! Just sorry we had so many "no shows" on Saturday. Everyone decided at minute to lounge around the pool!. They simply don't know what they missed

Hi Ashley,
I just wanted to thank you and your team for doing such an amazing job last weekend. Everything was perfect (as it always is when I work with you guys). The décor, food and of course the service were all outstanding.
Both the party and the BBQ were huge success and Patty was absolutely floored by it all. I saw her yesterday and she is still floating on air!

Hello Melissa!
Corey & I just got back from our honeymoon and wanted to say thank you to you, to Mark, and to the Rincon staff for an unbelievable wedding. People are still RAVING about the food! The dinner really exceeded all of my wildest expectations. The Butternut Squash Ravioli as well as the Potatoes Au Gratin were to die for! We could not have asked for a more beautiful day or for better catering service. You guys really, really impressed us. I cannot tell you how happy we were to have chosen Rincon over our previous caterer. There is really no comparison! And I wanted to let you know that I am currently pursuing a career related to event coordinating and design; Should I ever have the opportunity for another event in Santa Barbara/Santa Ynez area, I will most definitely choose Rincon! :)
Thank you so very much for everything. Happy Holidays to you!
Sincerely,
Melanie and Corey Knowlton

SURPRISE PARTY
PRIVATE RESIDENCE, PASADENA
Dear Marc:
I just wanted to say thanks again for the help on Lisa's party. It was spectacular and you went above and beyond any expectations that I had. Everyone who came has called us to tell us what a great time they had and how wonderful the food was. Lisa is floating on air. I think I will be considered the world's greatest husband for about a year. Several people have asked me for the name and phone number of your company.
Thanks again!
Barry.
Hi Angie and Marc!
I wanted to touch base and give you our latest update. After a long tiresome search we finally chose a date and location. We've decided to get married in Pismo Beach in September. We found a place that suited our budget and allowed all of our guests to stay in one place without having to worry about driving and shuttles. That was a huge factor in our decision since all of our guests would be coming from out of town.
Out of every place that we looked, you were hands down my favorite in terms of service, personality, and all that you could offer. I am still thankful to this day for the kindness and patience you showed Craig and I. I am sure that all the couples that have chosen to get married at Rincon will be so happy and are very lucky!! I will spread the word about you to my friends and who knows, maybe we'll have a chance to do something together in the future. I loved those snacks we had and haven't seen a better menu in all my tours and estimates! I told my friend who is an event coordinator about you guys and cross my fingers that our paths will cross !
So thank you again, it was truly a pleasure getting to know you. Have a great wedding season!!!!!
Sincerely,
Glynna
