Katie

19 Dec 2018

David was great but the set up fell short of our expectations and quality for the amount we were spending on the event. We had to use camping stoves, there was no place to sit and eat our meals together , and very little cooking instructions so the event felt not well put together. Maybe soemthing you would expect for a $50/head person not $150.
