Customer Testimonials

“The DECO product allows the users the freedom to focus on the food & guest experience,while the
equipment adds beauty to the room. I also find that the versatility of the pieces adds flexibility.”

- Bonita Easter, General Manager
Scotiabank Convention Centre
Niagra Falls, Ontario

“Before we had the DECO Buffet Stations, we would have to use folding leg tables with linens and build our action
and carving stations for events. Now, with the DECO Stations, not only are they linen-less, but also multi-functional
depending on the needs of the event. For instance, we use the DECO F&B Station as a bar back, raw bar set-up, and
ice cream station. Guests are really wowed by the LED lights of the DECO Stations when we set the lighting on the
stations to match their themed event.”
