Testimonials

“This wedding was a great P.R. event for Louisville. Most of our guests came from out of town – New York, Seattle, Portland, Austin, Chicago, Columbus, Dayton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Fort Lauderdale, Washington D.C. and London, England. They were blown away by the food and service they received…I really can’t say enough complimentary things. It was just the best all around experience – all and more than we hoped for. The bride and groom were ecstatic.”

Wedding Reception, May 2009 - Anne Maron

“Between my wife Lee Ann and I, we have had an opportunity to plan and execute events for three American Presidents, English royalty, entertainment & business legends, and ordinary folks during our 20+ year in the hotel business. I hope some of them left their events feeling as special as we did after our rehearsal dinner on May 23! From the initial planning stages with Amie, to the final menu planning and execution with Lindsay, there was never a time when we did not feel we were in the hands of professionals. Many, many thanks for giving us a night to remember.”

Rehearsal Dinner, May 2008 – Dimitri & Lee Ann Sarantis

“Several years ago, I was introduced to Clements Catering by a mutual friend. At the time I had no idea that our business relationship would continue for well over 20 years. In all of this time, I have yet to be disappointed. Consistently you have given us the best you have to offer in every regard, whether it’s the food, service or personnel. Thank you, Steve, and all who work with you and for you, for many years of excellent service and fantastic food. I look forward to many more years to come.”

Sara Ray – Golden Brands

“Thank you so much for an absolutely wonderful evening! The delegates from the International Association of Fairs and Expositions Zone 3 had an excellent time touring the museum and dining in the round room. The President and CEO , the Chair and the 2nd Vice Chair of IAFE were all in attendance. Needless to say, they were so impressed with your facilities, your food and your service! Comments like “this was a world-class evening” made all of the Kentucky State Fair staff proud to host this group. We are fortunate to have a place like Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby Museum in our city. There is no place in the world where you can go and have an experience like the one we had Saturday night!”

Friends and family members commented every day since the wedding how very nice the reception was. They specifically mentioned the quality of food, the variety of the food choices and the service. The staff was very helpful in the planning of our event from our first inquiry to our call with our final number of guests. Thank you so much.”

“Thank you for your help planning my 89th birthday dinner. It is most valuable and I would have been lost were it not for you and your staff. Almost everyone of the guests has responded either with a glowing note or by phone with comments on the food and service. Steve Clements is most fortunate to have such capable personnel. I would not hesitate to recommend your organization to anyone should I be asked.”
