“Our overall experience with SKY was absolutely, undoubtedly, perfect. My wife and I are very detail oriented people and made a lot of demands to SKY which were executed flawlessly. The food was our favorite part: the head chef does NOT mess around. We told him we wanted something outside of the normal Beef, Chicken, and Vegetarian plus we wanted some Ukrainian flair and accents. Our menu was so incredible we could not wait to put it into print on the invite. Still, to this day, people rave about the food at our wedding.” – Nick, groom
OUR MANTRA People will forget what you did; People will forget what you said, But they will never forget how you made them feel. – Maya Angelou
