Highland Park Host Testimonials
"Just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you SO, SO much for everything last night. Dinner was perfect. Really and truly.
Luis and Elianah were both absolutely incredibly in every way – we were SO lucky to have them both. Please pass on our praise and thanks!!!
My parents, who have been to countless WKC-catered events over the course of 15 years now, both agreed that last night’s menu was their favorite EVER and that the food itself was the most delicious WKC dinner to date. Countless compliments on staff and food from the guests. Wendy – I had more than one person say they would have eaten five of the salads if they could!!!! Awesome selection!!!!!
Thank you again. We are so looking forward to many, many more events with you all!"
