customer feedback

"I recently had the pleasure of ordering from Green Planet Catering for a different catering option for our folks staying late to complete the month and year end closings. The food was delivered on time and in all re-usable trays and bowls. The utensils & cups were made from corn & the plates recycled fiber. No dreaded aluminum or containers to discard! The overall review of the food was "very tasty"! This was definitely a win!'

Do you have any idea how much we need a restaurant with your concept? Please consider it. There is a lot of us that will support it.

I wanted to thank you for taking time during your busy schedule to share with us at Governor’s Conference. It’s really exciting to watch what you guys are doing and it brings a great deal of credibility to our work. With examples like Green Planet Catering, we can not only talk about sustainable practices, but show folks a company that is really doing it.

Thanks again for all of your - and Eric's - hard work yesterday [Sustainability Solutions Lab 2010 at Duke University]. You made me look good and the food was tasty!

Feel free to refer future clients to me for enthusiastic praise, and I'll recommend you to anyone I come across looking for a caterer.

Green Planet Catering provided the service I needed at exactly the time I needed it. The meals were healthy, nutrititious and above all flavorful, meaning I didn't have to think, plan or worry about 'what's for dinner'. The wide range of entrees and side dishes appealed to my entire family and Green Planet was a delight to work with in meal planning. I highly recommend the packaged meal service and will use it again.

Thank you again for all your help getting all our details in line for the event yesterday at Ligon Middle School.

The event was a success and the food only made it better!

Eric was a total dear and sooo helpful and patient....he is awesome!

Jody was also great! You have yourself a great intern there. She was super helpful and a great representative of your company on site at the event.

I could not let another minute go by without telling you how many compliments I received on today’s menu. I can’t say enough, what a successful event this was! In addition of course to the many others that you do for me on a very regular basis. Thank you for the menu suggestion and as always the presentation was wonderful! This is the first event that I didn’t have ANY left-over’s (except for a few brownies – which I am eating one of right now). Thanks too, for staying within my budget. It really helps my bottom line on continuing to provide great food on a budget. I am never disappointed or unhappy when using Green Planet!

“Daniel Whittaker of Green Planet Catering is not only a professional in the catering industry, but his creativity and innovative ideas for food design and presentation make his business top notch!! He's a pleasure to work with and always has the customers needs at the top of the list! With most events that we plan I always look for the best vendors, but Green Planet Catering is more than a vendor--they are a true partner and I plan to use them time and time again. The staff is friendly, punctual and professional, and that's because Green Planet only hires the best! The food is delicious, fresh and unique and there's always something for everyone to enjoy.”

I attended a meeting on Thursday of this week that was catered by Green
Planet at Briar Chapel. I wanted to pass along my compliments on an
amazing meal - from the fresh bread and delicious grilled apple salad (I
LOVE your vinaigrette dressing)to the panna cotta and (the star of the show)
vegetable lasagna, I cannot remember a more delicious meal. I've enjoyed
reading your blog and hope that you will one day share your veggie lasagna
recipe - it really was terrific!

I highly recommend the services of Daniel Whittaker and the entire Green Planet Catering team! Daniel has catered a couple of NC GreenPower events, and I have been to at least a dozen others that utilized the services of Green Planet Catering. They are a local, sustainable organization who takes great pride in their work. I am always amazed by their attention to detail with the entire process from beginning to end. They even use food that they grow in their own garden. Green Planet provides only eco-friendly disposable products in their catering, and they leave nothing behind – even taking the food scraps away for composting!

Green Planet Catering is thorough and easy to work with, and always taking the time to discuss any concerns. I feel confident in recommending their catering services.

Hi Daniel,

Just wanted to let you know how wonderful the food was for Elizabeth's wedding reception. I have had nothing but compliments, especially about the shrimp and grits! Appears the amount was perfect and your staff was very accommodating. You were very helpful and easy to work with throughout the planning process. Thanks again for all you did. I will remember you for future events and recommend you to all.

Dear Amy,

Everyone raved about your food! It was terrific, and the event was a great success. We had lots of leftovers and sent some friends home with them. Thank you for everything! Hope to work with you again soon.

All the best,
