"Thanks so much for supplying the china. The china was beautiful and certainly added a lot to our event. The packaging was great too & I would have no hesitation in recommending you to other potential customers."

... Susan Harvey, Senior Brand Manager, Old Fashioned Foods Group (Hansells 75th Garden Party), Masterton

"The China Cabinet willingly came to our rescue at short notice when we put together a series of high tea parties for the launch of our business. They were more than accommodating to our specific requirements, and Maureen was a pleasure to deal with. The pieces were individually gorgeous and collectively they were the talking point of our events. We were very sorry to have to send it all back!"

... Tiana, Lily & Louis PR, Auckland

"From the very first contact with Maureen, we knew we had made the right choice and were very fortunate to have found someone so special to help with our daughter’s wedding. Her warm and helpful manner, where nothing was a problem, enabled us to chose what we needed and revise the list several times before the wedding. Right up until the week before, we were adding to and adjusting the list of beautiful trios, teapots, cake stands and silverware for our Victorian afternoon tea reception. Maureen could not have been more generous or helpful – she even offered to purchase the sugar lumps when she realized that was the last straw for a busy wedding planner/mother of the bride to organize! We very much appreciated The China Cabinet being able to safely deliver the china to Cromwell, unpack and set it all out and then pack them away again at the end of the day. This saved much time and stress as we didn’t have to worry about matching up the trios or packing them away in their travel boxes. Our wedding was the talk of Cromwell for its atmosphere and the beautiful elegance of the table settings. I would recommend The China Cabinet and Maureen very highly to anyone wanting a special theme for their event or wedding."

... Anne, Cromwell

"I just wanted to let you know that our group thoroughly enjoyed the High Tea experience on the Tram (on Sunday 15/3/09). I have been to a number of different High Teas in recent years. The detail and care taken with your High Tea was very impressive compared to some I have been to. I think the The China Cabinet are a 'find'. Thank you for a lovely afternoon."

"Thank you so much for all the assistance you provided, for our special display about Women's Suffrage, held at Ferrymead Heritage Park over Labour Weekend... We had so many comments about your beautiful china. It was just perfect in our setting at the Temperance Booth- giving an authentic touch and people thought it such a treat to use! It would have been a huge task to package all the items for delivery and collection and I greatly appreciated your efforts and very friendly and efficient service."

...Carole


"Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special. We appreciated all your hard work in sourcing, organising and setting up - the table was simply beautiful. Thank you also for understanding exactly what we wanted and then making it happen. Your service, tableware and eye for details all contributed towards making our day special."

...Tiffany


"Thankyou for making my afternoon such a huge success. We had a wonderful time.."

...Loretta


"Thank you so much for your wonderful service during the whole process of hiring all the equipment for our wedding. Because of choosing to hire your gorgeous china and glass wear, the whole atmosphere of the afternoon tea was made incredibly special. Everyone was delighted and drawn into the antique feel created on the day.

The preparation leading up to the day was very overwhelming, so I was pleasantly relieved to experience such warm and friendly service from the China Cabinet that was still so professional, yet understanding."

"I hunted all over Auckland for a cup cake stand … couldn’t find one … But I did find The China Cabinet website! Just the perfect cake stand, absolutely gorgeous!!!, All of my guests commented on how pretty it looked, and how delicious the cupcakes were, service amazing, really easy, and it came all the way from Christchurch. I have already recommended The China Cabinet to a catering company and friends getting married in November.
"

...Kate, Auckland


"I wanted to thank you for providing the cake stand for my wedding. The cupcakes looked absolutely fabulous and we got a lot of comments about them."

...Sally, Queenstown



"Just wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you so much for all of your special things- it was absolutely interesting that all guests thought all the attention to detail was that of the venue and not planned or organised in as it so suited the venue to a 'T". It was perfect and all comments are that is up there with the best weddings people have attended. Even G wants photos for his albums. So well done and thanks again- it looked beautiful."

"Taste at Riccarton House have worked with Maureen on several occasions to provide exquisite functions for our clients. Maureen is efficicient and can certainly go out of her way to provide beautiful china and accessories for us. The feedback from the Mad Hatter tea party (and the many cafe guests who had the chance to view the room) was fantastic with the client extremely happy with the layout provided by Maureen and the China Cabinet.
I have no hesitation in recommending Maureen for your special function.

"Dear sponsors,
I would just like to say a huge thank you for all your support in my organisation of The Pink Afternoon Tea Party for the Breast Cancer Foundation. Without your generous donations the afternoon could have never happened and we would have never been able to raise vital funds to aid in the fight against cancer.

The Tea Party was a huge success. The hall was filled to capacity, all the china and food looked wonderful amongst all the flowers and pink decorations. Dancers performed in pink costumes and there was a lovely presentation from breast cancer survivor, Barbara Tipple. We raised $1,300 which was donated directly to the Breast Cancer Foundation.

Thank you all again so much for your support."

... Rosa Provost



"We were thrilled with all of your wonderful pieces and also your support arranging it all perfectly. It had SO many comments and it was exactly what I had hoped for."
