Testimonials
Irena,
If John and I were to get married again we would be faced with a very difficult decision…hire you as our caterer or invite you as a friend. From the day we met you we knew we were going to have the most memorable wedding and we quickly learned that your incredible culinary skills were equally matched by your warmth and thoughtfulness. You went above and beyond for us and it showed. You captured our vision perfectly in the food and the room but more importantly we did not worry for a second about a single detail. Thank you for being such a wonderful spirit and for making and wedding exactly what we imagined.
Love, Leanna and John
Bonjour! Paris was wonderful! Simply being away with John after such an
amazing wedding (thanks in large part to you!) was so special. The city,
food, sites and sounds of Paris was icing on the cake (or the
croquembouche!). Thank you to you and your staff for putting on a
flawless party. The room was gorgeous, the staff was so friendly and the
food of course was impeccable
Much love,
Leana

Irena,
The food, service and staff were exceptional. I received many complimentary remarks about the food and inquiries about your catering group. It was a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to coordinating future events with Azafran.
Best regards,

Dear Irena:
Thank you so much for agreeing to do our lunch on what I can imagine was a very busy day for you. Everyone loved the food and a number of our students who know your Cafe were especially pleased that you had provided the lunch.
Cheers,

Dear Irena & Azafran Staff,
My team was recently selected by NASA to pursue the technology needed to build a new generation of space telescope-a facility that will follow JWST and will allow us to definitively determine if there are life-bearing earth-like planets in our Galaxy, amoung many exciting problems. This took a lot of hard work and your excellent food helped sustain me through many long proposal writing days and nights! You also provided a delicious breakfast for our entire team back in October. Such stressful periods often mean sacrificing good food but with Azafran I know this will never be a problem. Thanks for your part in helping our team get good work done!
Cheers,
Marc Postman
"We worked with Azafran on a gala event at the American Visionary Art Museum, and we received rave reviews from everyone. The food was fabulous and beautifully presented, and Irena created a wonderful setting for the tables and serving stations, including drapes and flowers. But to me, the best part of the event was the chance to work with Irena, who has such a creative spirit and is a joy to work with. She went way beyond my expectations of what a "caterer" offers. I would recommend her highly for any one (or organization) seeking to put on elegant, delicious, and creative event."

"Bring your tired and weary tastebuds to Azafan! Inspired cookery with a Latin American flair, consummate professionalism, and a serious attention to detail have hallmarked every event, large or small, that Azafran has catered for me. My only concern when using Azafran is being able to confirm my date. The rest is cake*and I mean EXCELLENT cake!"
