Teacher at BVSD

Olivia and EFS catered our wedding at the River House in June 2011. Guests are still raving about the food and display. Olivia was just wonderful to work with. My husband and I planned our St. Augustine wedding long distance from Colorado. Olivia made that incredibly easy on us! Thanks to Olivia's flexibility, consistent communication and reassuring attitude, we were never nervous about the way our reception was going to go. The best part is that it turned out better than we could've ever imagined! Thank you, Olivia and EFS! We are so grateful for your hard work, wonderful and professional attitude and most of all the GREAT RECEPTION you helped to create!

Joan Whittemore
Sales Manager at Marineland Dolphin Adventure

Olivia is a bright, charming, enthusiastic professional with whom I have had the pleasure of working on several occasions. Her can-do attitude in any situation makes her presence invaluable in times which could be quite stressful. When recommending her services I can trust that my clients will be responded to promptly, with warmth and consideration for their particular wishes and circumstances, and that they will be delighted with all interactions with her from the beginning through the final product.

Jennifer Miller
Accountant II B at Florida Blue

My Fiance' and I hired Executive Food Services to cater our wedding at the River House on May 01, 2011. We worked with Olivia Gonzalez the entire experience and were both pleased with the results! The food was amazing and the staff that she brought was courteous and professional. I only received good responses for the food and have actually passed on her information to many new brides looking for a Wedding Caterer. Olivia personally was a pleasure to work with, she is super fun (which is awesome and number 1 for me) and professional (which Timothy loved). She was early to every appointment, even when we weren't due to life events and baby violet on the way. A complete pleasure to work with!

Nancy Harrison
Speech Language Pathologist

I hired Olivia for catering my rehearsal dinner buffet for 100 guests and for my wedding reception for a plated dinner for 300 guests. She was very easy to work with and met all my needs for both events. The food for both events was fresh, elegant and more like gourmet cuisine. My guests were really treated to an extravagant meal that fit my budget. I really recommend working with Olivia for all important events. She delivers!

Greg Voss
Vice-President of Operations

For our most recent event I hired Olivia and Executive to provide the catering services. They stepped up in a big way and worked with us to create an event that will be difficult to match moving forward. She and her team took my priorities and made them their priorities. I have used them in the past and I will most certainly use them moving forward. Highly recommend!
