What Our Customers Say

Wanted to send you a huge Thank you for both your patience and very kind delivery yesterday and for the AMAZING food! All the passengers loved it, we had nothing left! If we are lucky enough to have another trip to Edmonton you will definitely we hearing from me again.

I just wanted to take a minute and give a huge thank you to your team for everything they did on Saturday! Not only did we get endless compliments on the food, I had multiple of your staff come up to me throughout the night and compliment me and the wedding. You couldn't have better staff!! I was slightly hesitant when Paul originally said he brought tables up to the buffet himself, but WOW that was so efficient and quick!! I don't know why every caterer doesn't do that?! Also, when we put out our late night lunch, your staff watched the platters and kept the area clean, which is BEYOND what we would have expected and that little bit of added work just blew mine and my families minds. That was so awesome to see!! I am very glad we switched to your services, it was an amazing experience and I thank you!!!
- Alyssa & Todd
We would just like to give the Sawmill Team a huge thank you! You have all been great to work with for setting it up and the actual wedding day itself seemed to run smoothly. The staff that came to help set up were all friendly and set up quickly. We received many compliments on how delicious the food was. Everyone moved through the line quickly and efficiently. The chocolate fountain and taco bar were both amazing. The serving staff and bartender were all amazing. All this contributed to making our wedding day less stressful and run very smoothly all day from front to back. We didn't have to worry about anything on your end as it was all taken care of. All your hard work was much appreciated.

Everything was wonderful for Mother’s 100th birthday Celebration! Amanda and Erika were fantastic. They had all the delicious food out on time and replenished it when required. They cleaned up and left the kitchen tidy. They even helped us take family pictures. Thank you very much for helping to make it such an incredible day.

The Sawmill team did a great job at the dinner last night. What a fantastic job getting that 1000-person group dinner in an efficient and timely manner. The ladies directing the lines at the tables were lovely, they were doing such a good job directing people and were super friendly while doing so. The food was terrific as always. Please let your team know they do an exceptional job. We attend a lot of events and they impress me every year.
