Hannibal's Catering Testimonials "My favorite caterers for just about 18 years now." – M. M. "Last week was the first time I have used your catering services for management lunches. The two lunches so far have been excellent and the value is exceptional. The orders have arrived in time and were set up very attractively. It's nice to be able to order a package that includes sandwiches, salad, drinks, and desert rather than having to pay for each addition. Thank you for two very pleasant experiences." – A. W. "Everything was wonderful, the customer service in all areas is absolutely great and we will be using you guys a lot more in the future. I will pass your name to other business I know for catering events. Thanks again for all your help and greatness." – J. G. "Thank you for a job well done.

The food was fantastic and plentiful. Most of all, Scott and his crew were great. They were so very accommodating and all were so friendly. Everything about the catering was superb.

We have 14 regular catering companies, and several occasional catering companies that work events at the Klamath, so we get to taste a lot of different food.

At my event, Catherine and Shawna (forgive me if I am misspelling their names) were absolutely wonderful! They set up the beautiful display very quickly and were able to incorporate aspects of my decorations into theirs. They left the areas perfectly clean when they were finished. Honestly, I don't think I could have pulled it off without the three of them! Afterwards, every one of my guests raved about the food! I couldn't have been more pleased. The quality of the food and service I received was above and beyond anything I expected! Thank you!!!" "I cannot say enough good things about Hannibal's catering, both food and service.

Jennifer Miranda "To Hannibal’s Catering: I want to start by sharing with you my mom's and my goal for the celebration of my marriage.  We had decided to have the reception at my parents house and wanted more than anything to be able to serve great food that would make us proud, especially with the reception being in our private home.  Hannibal’s fulfilled that wish and we could not have been anymore proud with the food and service that was provided.  It was nice to hear our guests compliments about how the food was the best that they had ever had at a wedding and that they had a great time.  All of our guests went home a full stomach and a smile on their faces.  Hallie was absolutely wonderful and our reception would not have been as successful without her help.  She was a joy to work with and I truly feel that she shared my mom’s and my vision!  Everything was more than I asked for and Hallie always went out of her way to make me a happy bride!  I will be recommending Hannibal’s to anyone who asks, as I know that they will not be disappointed.  I’ve attached my e-mail to Hallie for your reference and to help solidify how happy I was with hers and Hannibal’s food and service.  Thank you, Jessica" Jessica Sweeney
