What Our Employees Say....
We Love and Miss you Jack & Evan! Good Luck always!
My time working for Susan- whether it was under the name of Catering by Dale, CBD Events, or Copper at Dorset- was one of the most fun working experiences I’ve had. Whether it was serving, prep cooking, or bartending, I could always provide a quality and efficient service to the customers while still being able to be myself and have fun while still working. Susan always treated me with the utmost respect and consideration and consistently put me in a position to succeed in whatever position I was working in, regardless of my experience. I learned so much about myself, others, food service, and how to have fun working for Susan. It was an unforgettable experience! Jack Robbins
I had a great time working for CBD and Copper at Dorset. There was a sense of friendship between all of the employees and the employer (Sue). There was always a relieving feeling that all will be well even in the most stressful events, because Sue gets it done the right way. I always wanted to give my best while working at CBD because I knew that the customers were expecting high-quality work. All in all, it was a fantastic experience and I've learned a lot from it. Thank you to Susan, Katie, Aaron, Jeanie, Jason, and Jack for all of the good times. Evan Simonds

My experience working for CBD Events has been remarkable. From the age of 14, I have been given opportunities for leadership and felt valued. These last 4 years, Susan's fairness, respect and belief in my abilities have fueled my growth. The fantastic pay, fun work environment with great people, and diverse jobs have made every day exciting. The lessons I have learned about leadership and running a business will undoubtedly shape my future. I am proud to have been a part of the CBD Events team and am eager to continue this journey with Copper.

I have so many great memories working for CBD Events these past 4 years. My place in the company has been more than a job. Susan and my coworkers have become like family. My favorite memory is of a beautiful Shelburne Farms wedding we did last year. The atmosphere was magical, I had so much fun working with my coworkers and I was fantastically compensated for my effort. Whether I am running the food truck, serving at a wedding, or prepping amazing food at the kitchen, I always have fun and learn great insights into the catering industry. The skills I’ve gained have helped me to become a more confident leader and problem solver in my day-to-day life. I am grateful to CBD Events and Susan for having me as part of the family.
