"Hey guys! I want to thank everyone soooo much for the best day of our lives. I can’t tell you how many compliments we received about the food and the staff. Everyone was raving! The whole day went without a hitch and it wouldn’t have gone that smoothly without the tremendous effort from all the Octaviens staff. Thank you so very much!

"I just wanted to tell you I had a great experience when I had met up with the owner (Carol) September 10th. I didn't catch her name, but she was, I think, exactly the type of person we need for our wedding! She fits right in and I think can make our wedding into OUR WEDDING! "

Thanks and Happy New Year to the staff of Octaviens:

Just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for the wonderful Christmas dinner on December 5th. Everyone raved about the food and the event was a great success for us - so much so that staff are already talking about next Christmas! We will definitely keep you in mind for our dinner again this year.

We would also like to extend our thanks to Kelly. She was very helpful and we appreciated all of her efforts in making our evening a success!

Dear Carol:

I have to thank you for such wonderful event on Saturday at the Saucy Willow! Everything was just as my clients had imagined, and the food was delicisious.

I had a chance to spend a lot of time watching Ana, Tony during the set up. What a professional team. From start to finish, the whole staff, including the serving crew, were pleasant and efficient. It made me feel like a guest at my own inn! That was great!

She did an amazing job with the staff. How lucky for all of you to work together. Congratulations on organizing such a powerful and professional company.

Thanks again, Carol. I won't hesitate to refer you to my clients and friends".

All the best,

 
Penny Johansen, Innkeeper
