Reviews & Ratings.
For Great Performances..
We can’t thank the GP team enough for the incredible job they did for our wedding at Wave Hill this year. The food and cocktails were absolutely amazing and exactly what we wanted! People were raving all night about the passed apps and the duck frites entree, and we couldn’t get over how the bartenders were shaking the cocktails and chilling the martini glasses for every drink! We had some unconventional food choices from the Asian inspired canapes to the duck entree to an unusual specialty cocktail, but everything was executed so perfectly and it really was a dream come true for us. The GP team also provided bridal attendants who went above and beyond. They were absolutely incredible - so detailed oriented, so helpful, so attentive. They both made sure I had what I needed the whole night down to putting my martini on the dance floor in a different glass so it wouldn’t spill on me and were such troopers being helping hands when we went out for photos in the rain. We also couldn't have gotten the dress bustling done as quickly without their help! We got so many comments from everyone about how incredible the team was, they are truly the best.
I would change the "Great Performances" name to "Incredible, Amazing, Superb Performances" because they were the BEST hospitality management company I have ever collaborated with in my decade worth of experience in event management. Their staff was incredibly friendly and helpful onsite to all of our attendees. They took the time to listen and really hear us out on all of our needs. Would LOVE to work with them again and we couldn't be happier!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Great Performances for a gala of 150 guests at The Brooklyn Museum that we designed, and we couldn't have been more delighted with their service and professionalism. Alek and his staff were professional, courteous, and incredibly attentive throughout the event. They ensured that each guest was well taken care of, promptly addressing any requests with a smile. Their attention to detail and dedication to service truly made a difference. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking top-notch catering for any occasion! - The MR. HOSPITALITY Team
