All of our guest loved it. Plus it came with so much we had so much food there was more than enough food we wouldn’t have ran out and we had 150 atleast that showed up. And it stayed hot and it came with all of our needs. The set up was great 2 employees came out set everything up for us and took care of everything. I highly recommend them for your catering needs and the price was very reasonable especially with everything that came with it.
