I've converted

by Swong66 at Citysearch

So I've never been a real big fan of Indian food. I just never cared for the curry and the spice. I've pretty much avoided it.

But we got together at Royal India, despite my protest and now I'm converted.

The restaurant itself was easy enough to find, the parking was good and the decor was nice.

We were attended to immediately and the service overall was very good.

I avoided the curry when I ordered, but I had some of my friend's curried potatoes and they were delicious. The thin bread there that they serve was to die for. I had their tandoori chicken and it was equally scrumptious.

It was a great event

by fan150 at Citysearch

Dear Jason Peltier, I just wanted to drop a line to you and commend Julie Palomares for going above and beyond the call of duty. She made the extra effort to come by to meet with ours and your client Yvette Madueno prior to her wedding at the San Diego History Center on March 27th even though she was not a client Julie was obligated to meet with. The client and the client’s family immediately took a liking to her and felt very reassured by her expertise and helpful information. Julie also then made the extra effort to come by on the day of the 27th to make certain that everything was going smoothly and well. The client and her family asked me to make certain to thank Julie since they felt that because of her extra effort and care that they had received the best personal care and service from your company.

Julie is certainly an outstanding member of the Ranch Events team and she has made working with your company an enjoyable experience.

We look forward to doing many more events together with Ranch.

Thank you so much

Dear Rhonda,

Thank you so much for your constant guidance, patience and support for our wedding! Saturday night was the best night of my life, due in large part to all your efforts!

Michael and I would never have been able to achieve such a magnificent evening if it were not for you and the professionals at Ranch Events. Everything was perfect – well organized, beautiful, and delicious.

Best wishes, Corey and Michael
