Amazing food

We’re from Dallas and choosing vendors for a Sonoma wedding was not easy. Elaine Bells food was by far the easiest decision we made. We had them cater both our rehearsal at Kunde and our wedding at BR Cohn and the food was phenomenal. They checked in on us often throughout our wedding night to make sure we had enough food and we tried all three dishes we served to our guests. They were so kind during our tasting, and through both events they catered. Their food was worth every penny. You will not be disappointed choosing them !

Delicious food, great experience

We were very pleased with Elaine Bell Catering! We received many compliments from our guests on the food, both hors d'oeuvres and dinner (especially the mac n cheese balls!). The service was very professional and they did a great job accommodating for dietary restrictions.

Delicious and Beautifully Arranged Food with Impeccable Service.

When looking for caterers, we were relieved to find Elaine Bell. Their food looked phenomenal (and trust me, it is!), but they also offered full services to meet all our needs and simplify our wedding planning considerably. Instead of finding a baker, wait-staff, flatware, bartenders, etc. - Elaine Bell had us covered. Their service and professionalism was phenomenal- they were consistently attentive to our guests and the ever shifting goings-on between ceremony and reception. We had a full charcuterie table, hand selected dinner buffet and 2-tier cake with assorted baked treats and every bite was beautifully displayed and tantalizingly delectable. I would go with Elaine Bell 100 times over.

I have been so fortunate to work with Elaine Bell and her team on several occasions. Not only is their food incredible and innovative but their staff goes above and beyond your typical catering staff. I tell all of my clients that the caterers are one of the most important aspects (if not THE most important!) of their wedding day and what they provide is a lot more than the food. You really can't go wrong when working with Elaine Bell. They make my job easy and I know I can rest assured on the big day that my clients are in good hands.
