    Kandace and Julio made our wedding absolutely perfect! The detail, communication and flexibility were absolutely amazing.y wedding wouldn’t have been near as spectacular and stress free if I didn’t have such an amazing team. I would 100000% recommend for ANY event. Would have a second wedding all over again for the opportunity to use them. 10/10

    Kandace delivered a beautiful and delicious experience

    Kandace was eager to work with us from our initial encounter. She was always warm and professional. She and her husband hosted a beautiful, tasteful, and delicious tasting experience. She was very flexible and accommodating, offering several vegan options for my main course and she also made sure I had several vegan appetizers in addition to the non vegan appetizers offered. It was hard to choose from all of the delicious options offered at the tasting. We ultimately decided on chicken and skirt steak with creamy garlic and chimichurri, respectively. I dreamt about the risotto but ultimately decided on the truffle potatoes and squash for the big day. We had 5 delicious apps as well, 2 of which were vegan (stuffed mushrooms and impossible tacos). I had a cauliflower steak for my entree. I was admittedly hungry on the big day and Kandace swooped in and saved me from the small chat during dinner. She politely pulled me away from my guests and ensured that I sat down and had my dinner. Thank you, Kandace! I will update with photos, but so far have not found any. Everyone commented on how delicious the food was and it seemed everyone enjoyed the "family style" plating which can serve as an icebreaker among strangers or long lost friends. Bar service was also incredible. Drinks were great. Guests and newly weds were all pleased! Kandace was very responsive and made it easy to discuss options, go over pricing, and she, with her team, delivered an exceptional meal on the big day. Pricing was also fair considering the quality of services provided. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Kandace for my any catering events, but especially for weddings - the woman knows what she is doing! If she had a restaurant, I would frequent it. Book her and you will not be disappointed.

    Amazing quality food and exceptional service!

    I used Elite catering for an event I was hosting and I cannot put into words how happy me and family were with the food and service that was provided. We did buffet style with a prime rib carving station and chicken. The food was the talk of the party. Everything came out amazing! Kandace and her team arrived early to prepare everything and were so adaptable with a small rain cloud that passed by. The made the whole process stress free. If you are considering hiring elite catering, stop and book them already. You will not regret it!

    Chef Kandace Pujol and her team went over and above our expectations this weekend for our daughters wedding. The food and service were out of this world.

    Amazing service!

    The entire team at Elite Catering was very kind, and the food was so delicious! The appetizers during cocktail hour were unlike anything I’ve had at other weddings, and all so good! The steak at dinner was my personal favorite, and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend!

    Excellent Caterer

    The food was outstanding! Every appetizer during cocktail hour was incredible. Every item was warm, perfectly presented and the service was top notch. Almost every conversation during the reception was about how great the food was!

    Amazing! Yummy! Professional! The best of the best!

    Kandace is absolutely amazing! Her responsiveness throughout the planning process was very quick and her food was unbelievable! You can create your own menu with her and she caters to everyone's food preferences. She gifted us mini late night donuts and they were incredible! Everyone kept complimenting how flavorful and fresh the steak and chicken were. Hands down the nicest chef you could find! Her husband Julio was also our rental and Day of coordinator from Elite Productions. Having them both work together is hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! Julio is also very responsive, attention to detail, and very professional. He gave us so many recommendations that go into planning a wedding we had no idea about. He made our day run so smooth and again one of the nicest guys out there! Highly recommend them for not just weddings but for any event! With much love The Lexs.

    Extraordinary, seamless, worry-free, PERFECT

    Absolutely thrilled with Elite Catering for our wedding!! From the first bite to the last, the food was not just delicious but a culinary masterpiece. Usually wedding food isn’t great and that couldn’t be further from the truth for mine because of Kandace, Julio, and their team. They were incredibly professional, ensuring that every dish arrived on time and at the perfect temperature. The visual display was beyond our expectations- a stunning, elegant spread that complimented the venue beautifully. I expressed concerns about a large guest list and food, and they suggested family-style serving- a perfect solution that I’m thrilled they recommended. The attention to detail and genuine care for bringing our vision to life were evident at every step. I would choose them a thousand times over again. Thank you for adding that extra touch of magic to our day and for being the one thing I knew I didn’t have to worry about at all! Truly an easy and fantastic experience- no doubt I’m telling all my engaged friends about them..

    10/10 the best decision we made for our big day!

    I cannot express enough how much I appreciate Kandace and her husband Julio for helping us every single step of the way. Literally contact them right now and book them. From the first interaction with Kandace, we knew they needed to be our caterer for such an important day. Such kind people, it really felt like they cared to make our day as special as we wanted. Then the tasting just solidified our decision, because oh my goodness that food was amazing! Even now after the wedding we have not stopped hearing about how good the food was, which is every couple’s goal. On the day of our wedding, Kandace made sure we had a taste of everything. She came over while we were doing portraits and had a beautiful spread of all the hor d’oeuvres we had chosen for everyone to enjoy. We will never ever forget that! She accommodated every single one of our wishes and made our day as amazing as we envisioned! The guests also noticed how wonderful everything was which made it that much more amazing. We couldn’t have asked for not one more thing from them and we’re so happy we chose such an amazing team! Love you guys!

    Amazing Service - Delicious Food

    I cannot recommend Elite highly enough! They catered our wedding reception this past weekend, and everyone is still raving about the delicious food! And their service was above and beyond. I can't imagine a more enjoyable experience. Every staff member I spoke with was extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you Elite, you were perfect on our perfect day!

    Overjoyed!

    You know a wedding can be the most stressful event you'll plan. And the decision to hire Elite Catering for this special day was the best thing we did. Kandace is a pleasure to work with. She helped with our food choices, elevating them to perfection. We are still receiving compliments on the food, from appetizers to dinners. And we also hired their wedding planner to help with the day of chaos. Julio cared for every detail and gave me peace of mind to enjoy my daughter's wedding. I can't thank them enough!

    Great Caterer!

    Highly recommend Elite Catering for your next event. Kandace was so thorough and responsive from a year out until the day of our wedding. We had a delicious tasting with her a few months before our wedding which got us so excited. Our guests raved about the food and even more so, the late night bite of donuts and cheese fries that Kandace came up with. She brought cocktail hour appetizers to me and my husband while we took photos so we were able to eat before our reception started. Thank you Kandace for all of your hard work and sweet and caring attitude! ♥️

    Amazing and most wonderful Day!

    Elite Productions is amazing. From the food to the decor. They made everything exactly how I imagined and i didn’t have to worry one bit. The food Kandace make is so fresh and so flavorful everyone actually sat down to finish their whole meal. Julio helped me coordinate everything and I couldn’t have walked for anyone better. He was punctual with everything and made sure that my husband and I had everything we need through out the whole night. It was truly a dream come true what they both did for us on our special day.

    Vizcaya Museum & Gardens Wedding Event

    From start to finish, Kandace from Elite Catering was an absolute joy to work with. She catered our wedding at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens and everything was truly perfect. Throughout the planing process her communication was excellent; she responded to my texts and calls promptly and was always enthusiastic about brainstorming and discussing the details of our event. The level of care she put into everything was amazing, and her genuine desire to make sure we were happy with the outcome was clear from the start. Ultimately she went above and beyond to ensure that everything was not only delicious (which it was!), but also displayed beautifully and elegantly. Some standouts to note were the ahi tuna cones, the shrimp cocktail, both entrees consisting of salmon and skirt steak which were perfectly cooked even for 160 guests. We ended the evening with late night fried chicken sandwiches & fries which she made for the first time upon our request. I’m getting a craving for one now just thinking about it! We also want to thank Kandace’s team and the waitstaff who were prompt and attentive. As the bride I can tell you that I did not have to go up to the bar once since the waitstaff kept providing me with my drink! Huge thank you to Kandace and team for a perfect evening.

    Great food & service!

    Kandace was one of the first vendors we booked after securing our wedding venue and date. Elite Catering was included on a list of “Preferred Vendors” for the venue; from our first chat, I knew I wanted Kandace to cater our wedding. She is attentive, detailed, and an overall pro. Our guests loved the delicious food and stocked open bar, and we truly appreciated the great service. Kandace personally delivered my husband and I drinks and appetizers during cocktail hour and made sure we were served each course first at dinner (“My couples always eat!”). Thankful for Kandace and the entire Elite Catering team for making our wedding day so special.

    Absolutely AMAZING!

    Words cannot express how amazing Kandace and Julio truly are. This dynamic duo will for sure put a smile on your face and all your wedding jitters to ease. From the very first phone call, you could tell they love what they do and are rockstars at it!

    Kandace will blow your tastebuds away with her talent and wish you were a guest at her dinner table every night. Our family and friends could not stop raving about the food and neither could we! (P.S. - Get the candied bacon and churrasco steak.. we’re still dreaming about those!)

    Julio is the sweetest person you will ever meet! He’s attentive, patient, and amazing to work with. From the rentals, to the day of coordination, and being the main man in charge, he does it all!

    If we could be adopted into this family, we totally would! But in all seriousness, if we had to redo our big day over and over again, we would choose them every time!

    Thank you Julio and Kandace for your support, love, and encouragement throughout the process and for treating us like family. ❤️

    **Phenomenal, Making Dreams Realities**

    Words cannot describe how grateful I am to Julio and Kandace. What an incredible duo that truly made my vision come to life for my wedding at the historic walton house. Not only are they wonderful people, they are masters in their craft and will turn your event into one to be remembered. My wedding was beautiful down to the detail of the tables, plating/presentation of food, utensils etc. It ran so smoothly as they were so attentive throughout the reception. The food was top quality- a menu that Kandace helped us craft. When I tell you months later our wedding guests are still raving about how delicious the food was including how tender and tasty the steak and vegetarian/vegan dishes were. We opted for family style that was the perfect blend of elegant event and coziness that we were hoping for, but even if that isn't your vibe Kandace has a lot of different options to work from including being very inclusive and understanding of dietary restrictions.

    Throughout the whole process from day 0 to wedding day they always were ensuring we made progress with my vision, helping me with their wisdom/expertise and truly made our wedding day the best day ever. I promise if you are having a wedding in south florida, this is exactly who you are looking for.

    The best experience!

    We’re so happy that we chose Kandace and Elite Catering for our wedding. Kandace is so passionate about the work she does and has a way of making the process feel positive and stress-free. From initial conversation to tasting to picking our menu to wedding day, everything went smoothly, felt easy, and was fun! On wedding day, the food looked amazing, but more importantly tasted amazing! We also can’t say enough about the professionalism of her staff. Kandace along with her husband Julio (who did our planning and rentals via Elite Productions) are a power couple, and we will recommend them to everyone we know! Thanks for making our wedding the best day ever!
