Colorado Special Event Reviews

Qdoba Restaurant & Corporation

Dear Jay, Darren, Cheena, and the entire Crystal Rose Staff,

I wanted to thank you for all your hard work you and your entire crew put into our event. This is the first year I have not had a single compliant about any aspect of the Holiday party! You run a great crew up there. I look forward to working with the Crystal Rose again for our future events.

Have a very Merry Christmas!

Abraham Lincoln High School...

"wonderful accommodations..."

Dear Mr. Byerly,

Please accept our sincere thanks and appreciation for the wonderful accommodations you provided for our 20 year high school reunion. We heard wonderful comments regarding your facilities and staff. Compared to the ten year celebration, you made the committee's job so much easier. Our classmates were very satisfied with the evening, and the casino was a huge success! We had many people ask if we would plan our 30 year reunion at the Crystal Rose. I only hope that you are still available in ten years.

Gratefully yours,

Toni Strecker

"a success..."

Dear Jay:

We had our annual Spring Fling party at your Hampden site on Saturday night. I just wanted you to know how pleased we were with not only the site, but also the food, table decorations and ALL your employees. The DJ, Wayne, was very nice and accommodating, playing great music and encouraging everyone to dance. Joe did an excellent job managing the evening. He was extremely helpful to me. Due to his attention to detail he helped make the party a success. A good time was had by all!

We will be in contact with you when we decide to plan our next party!

Sincerely,

Judy Bently, R.N.M,
Director of Nursing

"We couldn't have asked for anything more."

Dear Trent:

On behalf of CollegeAmerica - Denver, I would like to thank you and your staff for an outstanding holiday "Casino" party. Everyone had a great time and are already talking about the "next time".

The service and food were excellent. We couldn't have asked for anything more. And on such short notice, you saved my life and now I'm a hero.

Thanks again,

Best Properties LTD...

"On a scale of 1 to 10, our committee rated your facility a solid 10!"

Dear Chuck,

Please accept a most sincere thanks from me and the entire reunion committee for a job well done last Saturday.

The food was very good - - the staff service was terrific - - and the service provided by you and Mr. Clint Wooten was just great!

During the course of the evening many of the attendees informed me that they couldn't decide on whether to attend the function but were really glad they did as they had such a great time. Several people commented to me that they never heard of the Crystal Rose nor knew anything about the Crystal Rose until our reunion.

On a scale of 1 to 10, our committee rated your facility a solid 10! Please inform your staff of our praise.

Warmest personal regards,

Howard J. Leino, GRI

Dream World Furniture...

"this was our best Christmas Party in 16 years of business..."

Dear Marilyn:

I just want to thank you personally for all the help & support you gave me while I was arranging for our Christmas Party.

As I told you and everyone that attended commented, this was our best Christmas Party in 16 years of business.

The casino, with all it's authentic gaming tables & real gambling chips from Las Vegas only added to the excitement. As you know, I had a hard time getting people away from the tables to eat. They thought they were playing for real.

The food was wonderful and we loved having a special room to be served in.

Again thanks for your help. It was a wonderful evening. Feel free to have anyone call us if you ever need a reference.

Keith Ancell...

"a big THANK YOU..."

Dear Holly:

This letter will confirm our telephone conversation on Monday. I had called at that time to express to you on behalf of our reunion group our sincere appreciation for everything you did for us. Everyone had an excellent time and for a group of that nature, we did not have one complaint registered. Everyone had a great time and had nothing but good remarks to make during and after our evening at the Crystal Rose.

I am writing this letter to say a big THANK YOU to you, Jay and your entire staff for a wonderful evening. I can only express to you the comments we received and to let you know we will be spreading the word about the manner in which we were treated. Interestingly, we did have a few people there from the Class of 1957 and it will not surprise me too much if you hear from them in regard to their reunion to be held next summer.

Again, thank you very much.

Best Regards,

Keith Ancell

Kerr-McGee Rocky Mountain Corporation...

"Never Experienced an Evening Quite as Enjoyable."

Dear Mr. Byerly:

I wanted to express our extreme satisfaction with your services at the Kerr-McGee holiday party. I don't believe the employees have ever experienced an evening quite as enjoyable at prior employee functions. In fact, by popular vote, we have scheduled the same theme for next year. I would like to know if you would be interested in providing the casino games for that event? We would also like to have Greg Rice back as our Disc Jockey for the evening. Again, my sincere thanks to you and your staff for a wonderful evening and I look forward to hearing from you.

Very Truly Yours,

Jeannie O'Neil
Planning Supervisor

Lehrer's Flowers...

"a super way to get everyone involved..."

To Whom It May Concern:

We wanted to let you know that the evenings you have produced for our company have been received with more response and enthusiasm than any party/meeting that we have had in many a year.

Your entire staff is very congenial and the service is tops. The food selections are just great for a large group. Very tasty and nicely presented.

Your "Casino Night" is a super way to get everyone involved. First time gamblers have more fun than they thought possible and those who "know the ropes" have a great time playing for "high stakes". All in all everyone has a super time and we get many requests to do it again.

You can depend on us to book your services in the future.

Sincerely,

Russ Lynn
Vice President

Colorado House of Representatives...

"the delicious food..."

Dear Jay:

Thank you again for the delicious food the Crystal Rose provided for my 39th District Nominating Assembly. Everyone enjoyed it very much. Your crew is always professional and provide exceptional service throughout the evening.

I understand you did not get the message that we had to increase the numbers the morning of the event due to so many people calling in on the last day, until very late in the afternoon. You certainly did a last minute change in great order. There was plenty of food, and the variety was terrific.

Thanks again for all your help.

Sincerely,

Paul D. Schauer

"food and everything you did were outstanding..."

Colorado Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau...

"two thumbs up to the Chef!"

Dear Jay:

On behalf of the Colorado Springs Convention & Visitors Bureau, we can't thank you enough for all of the help, suggestions, and cooperation we received from you and all of your staff that we dealt with. From the largest to the smallest of requests, everything was met with friendly assistance.

In regard to our customized Southern-Cajun buffet, two thumbs up to the Chef! I kicked myself all the way home for not asking for a doggy bag filled with the Blackened Shrimp and Creole Rice! - - We heard nothing but positive comments on how good and unique the food was.

We feel that our sales reception and trade show was extremely successful and we would not hesitate to recommend the Crystal Rose "Plantation" to any association or group looking you over as a possible site selection. Many thanks, Jay.

Sincerely,

Ms. Kem Rothe
Convention Services Manager

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

"was a huge success and raised thousands of dollars..."

Dear Jay,

I just wanted to thank you and the Crystal Rose team for the great job that you performed at our recent Speakeasy event. The event this past Saturday was a huge success and raised thousands of dollars for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The gaming tables were run perfectly by a great team of dealers who were extremely polite and professional. We look forward to working with you next year and I know you will meet or exceed our expectations as you did this year.

Your support of Cystic Fibrosis is really appreciated by the 30,000 children and adults that have this terrible disease. Crystal Rose is clearly a company who believes in helping.

Thank you,

Bob Sawdon
Executive Director
