"I found working with you to be an absolute treat - there was great communication and attention to detail. On the day of our event, everyone that I encountered from the Cunard Centre staff were helpful and professional. The manager during the event was attentive and every request was handled efficiently and with ease. As you know, with events, the devil is in the details and there have been many, many comments from our guests on how cozy the venue was, how nice everything was, how delicious the food, how seamless, etc. Those remarks would not have been possible without your excellent support! "

Sara Colburne, OTANS, Pioneer Dinner, May 2011

 

"Each year just when I think RCR has created a new standard of customer service that can't be topped, your team outdoes itself again. Everyone leaving the brunch last Sunday was smiling, and raving about the event. I took the opportunity to speak with your team as they sat together for a bite to eat (only after the last patron was gone) to tell them how important their role is to the event's success and to simply say thanks. However, it really does bear repeating. The high quality of service your team consistently delivers is quite remarkable."

Adrienne Malloy, Halifax Harbourside Rotary Club, Mother's Day Brunch 2011

 

"We want to thank you for your partnership and support in the hosting of Atlantic Canada Night. Hosting the event at Pier 21 National Historic Site was a great opportunity to showcase an important part of Nova Scotia's historical tourism product. The culinary experience facilitated by your team, highlighting the Atlantic Canadian product, was exceptional. Our sincere appreciation for all your efforts in working with us to make this a special night."

"The evening was spectacular and our customers, who were visiting from across the country, were overwhelmed by the dinner, ambience, history and overall experience of the evening. The attention to detail and superior execution were critical to the overall success of the evening and the graciousness and professionalism throughout was greatly appreciated. Chef Tahir Salamat and staff performed beautifully and gave our guests an evening that they will remember for a very long time. We are delighted that we were given the opportunity to share the rich culture of Halifax in a splendid setting and we are deeply grateful for your dedication and assistance in making our 2010 Gala a success.

"Thank you for helping us have a fantastic trade show and Lobster Dinner. Best lobster I've ever had!! You've got a great venue there. Take care and see you again in 2019."

Nancy C. Coll, CMP, June 2009

"Thank you again so much for your guidance, your wonderful suggestions and your calming influence on me while I planned my first mega-event. It was very comforting to know that if I didn't know what to do, you'd have the answer. The event was a massive success and I'm still getting emails from employees all across the province who were so touched by the night. They keep mentioning that everything was perfect at the Cunard Centre and that everything was seamless. I truly could not have done this without you. If we ever have to plan an event like this again, you and the Cunard Centre will be my only choice. Thank you again for everything you and your team did to make the night a huge success."

Angela Blencowe, Nova Scotia Power, May 2009

 

"We had a truly wonderful time at Pier 21 -- we loved the venue and our guests raved and raved about the food!  Thanks for being so patient and helpful to us throughout the process.  No pictures yet, but I promise to share some when we get them."

Maala & Dan, Bride & Groom, May 2009

"Over the last number of years I’ve been involved in Kosher catering in Halifax, specifically Koshering Industrial kitchens in hotels and restaurants. Koshering industrial facilities denotes taking on enormous responsibility which involves numerous detail and much work. As such I want to let you know that my experience working with the RCR Group and staff at Pier 21 headed by Chef Tahir A. Salamat at the Israel @ 60 event on May 8th has been extremely positive especially the respect they all have displayed towards our laws and customs in every detail, beginning with the preparation 48 hours prior to the affair all the way through plating and serving. I look forward to working with you again in the future."

"…Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the outstanding service, quality of food and that amazing ‘yes we can’ attitude that you all seem to live by!"

"That was truly a gourmet experience… Thanks for your hospitality and genuine professionalism during our event."

"…cannot thank you enough for the impressive feast we were treated to at our Christmas luncheon. Everyone here is still praising the amazing buffet and commenting on the attentiveness of the wait staff during the meal. It is obvious why the RCR Hospitality Group tops the field in event and catering planning."

"Pier 21 was absolutely the perfect venue for our off site event and the food was wonderful… it was a pleasure planning this event with you…"

"The venue was marvelous. The staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. And the sound was spectacular…"

"Judging from the laughter, smiles and positive feedback received from that day it gives me great pleasure to tell you your efforts made our event a huge success."

"The room looked fantastic, the service was second to none and the food was amongst the top I have ever had in my 20 plus years in the business."

"The words I heard constantly throughout the day were ‘Best Ever’, ‘I can’t believe this used to be a cargo shed’, ‘the last time I was in here it was full of flour’, ‘this is fantastic’… the Cunard Centre has fast become a great venue we can all be very proud of."

"The versatility and size (of the Cunard Centre) offered us so many options and the finished event was so successful."
