Buffet for Resource Consulting Group function

“I have had the pleasure to work with Kim Pearson both as a client and consultant. I’ve been in her kitchen, watched her work and seen the fresh ingredients that go into everything she prepares. As a Johnson & Wales culinary trained chef, she can make food taste incredibly delicious. But what can’t be taught, and what Kim has, is genuine passion for what she does and who she serves. She listens, communicates, creates and comes through with more than you expect – every time! If you are looking for that “special ingredient” to make your event, large or intimate, most memorable, call Kim. I did, and will never use anyone else.”

I had a very important and special event coming up for my daughter, her graduation. Pearson’s catering was who I chose to cater the event not only because of the gourmet options and price but because of her professionalism and attention to detail.

I was extremely satisfied with the entire event from setup to clean up and would recommend Pearson’s catering to anyone.

“The Women of Wellesley”, an organization that puts together social functions for the Wellesley Condominiums in College Park, FL has used Pearson’s Catering & Gifts for our last 5 parties and have had excellent service at each and every one. In an effort to keep our costs in line, whenever we have to choose a caterer we try to get different bids from various catering services that our members have heard good things about. Bottom line is, we always come back to Kim Pearson. The food is consistently delicious, the selections are diverse, and her prices are the best. She’s conscientious, professional and will work with you if you need something “special”. We look around every time we do one of these parties but Kim is the one who gives us the best quality for our money. We highly recommend her.

Sincerely,
Lourdes Fernandez

Hi Kim,

Carmen and I just wanted to send our thanks for making our jobs easier and making us look good, too! Everything you make is professionally prepared but has that flair of homemade goodness! You take on all of our challenges from a tasteful reception on a limited budget to a prime rib feast with less than 24 hours notice.

We really enjoy working with you and look forward to our next event caterered by Pearson’s Catering!
