The staff on site was very courteous and went above and beyond to ensure that our celebration for our employees was a success. The chef hat, professionalism, the food, and positive attitude will be remembered by our management team. The food venue was a big hit and one of the senior managers present indicated that we had set the bar for an event of this type. We recommend Bennett Curtis for all catering needs!!

Bennett Curtis House Went Beyond Our Expectations
Very good value and availability to review the details of our event, and most importantly the Bennett Curtis House delivered on those details. Very flexible. Very beautiful outdoor and indoor setting; enjoyed by all. Great value; not sure if there is anywhere else where you could have such a nice wedding reception in such a unique and beautiful place with a modest budget.

If your stressed about the wedding the B/C is one stop shopping with the "ULTIMATE PACKAGE" all you have to do is in one day say please take care of my wedding. They will.... from food tuxes cake and photography. Go there it's worth the drive!
