"Jimmy, Just want to thank you again. The Fabulous Fifties Hall was the best place to have
my husbands surprise 50th birthday party. He was very surprised. The food was great and I
just want you to know the hostess (Carrie) that did the running around and the food did a
most excellent job!! With no other help she was amazing. A lot of people has said she was
very good and cordial. About 98% of the people that I invited did not even know your place
existed. I hope this brings more business for you. Enjoy the decorations."

with us for June 2009******
We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Fabulous Fifties Hall in Tacoma
that was catered by Taste of the Town. Everything was amazing. The food was
indescribably amazing and the staff was very accommodating. We are still getting calls
and compliments for the location, theme and originality of the wedding that couldn't
have happened without the help of Jimmy and his staff. We were able to have a couple
days to prepare and set up and our relationship between the staff was laid back, cool
and professional. Everyone has an dream image of how they want their wedding to turn
out and this by far bypassed all expectations. Thank you some much for everything
and we will be back for several more friends weddings who have already told us this will
be the place for them. We will never forget Jimmy and his staff because they played a
huge role making this dream wedding surpass our dreams.

Good day!
I attended a wedding at the Fabulous Fifties this weekend (
June 20th 2009 )and I believe your meal was definitely one of
the best I have tasted in quite a long time. Great catering/great
service/great food! What more can one ask for?
I left my card for you on Saturday and wanted to talk about the
possibility of your business catering an event that I have
scheduled on Thursday, Sept 17th for approximately 60
persons
