Phenomenal wedding planners!

We used Blue Elephant as my wedding caterer and also had Fausto as my planner. I was also blessed with having Nicki and Dominique for the whole day! Nicki and Dominique are the Maid of Honors, and Fairy Godmother's, you didn't know you needed. They never left my side and constantly checked on me. From helping me get my dress on, to holding my dress up and running in the rain to the venue, styling my dress for pictures and bustling, Nicki and Dominique are angels and exceptional at what they do.

Fausto is the best planner I could've asked for. He went above and beyond to ensure my wedding day went smoothly.
Fausto's attention to detail and passion for his craft is unmatched.

We can't thank you enough for all you've done!

Portland, ME - Catering and Wedding Planner

We used Blue Elephant as our caterer and also had Fausto on our team as our planner for our wedding in May 2024. From top to bottom we could not have asked for a better team. On the catering side, the food was out of this world! The cocktail hour is the first thing people experience at the reception and Blue Elephant absolutely hit a home run on first impressions. Not only did we have a ton of hors d’oeuvres to choose from, they also let us taste a lot of them when we did our food tasting. As soon as we got to the reception we were taken to a room to relax while guests mingled, and Fausto had the chef bring us drinks and a sampling of all the passed apps as well as items from our display boards. The food for the entrees was equally as amazing, and one thing we really appreciated is that the chef came over to us and told us she wouldn’t remove our plates unless she knew we were done eating. You get so distracted in conversation that you keep forgetting to sneak in bites of dinner, but our table was set until we were done eating which was amazing. Towards the end of the party we had asked Blue Elephant to do a late night snack, and so they brought out home made pizza and everyone was loving it.
On the planning side we were equally as grateful. The two of us do not live in Maine so we knew we needed to have someone to help us with all the on the ground logistics. Blue Elephant’s price to add on a planner was beyond reasonable considering all Fausto did for us. Throughout the whole process he listened to us and gave us exactly as much input as we wanted at any time. We didn’t necessarily need help with the big picture of our wedding and Fausto never over stepped exactly the amount of involvement we wanted. Their relationship with our rental companies came in clutch more than a few times. Once we got to the actual reception Fausto was anticipating all of our needs. His eye for the design of the whole reception was spot on to what we envisioned. Any time we needed something he was there before we had to ask, and everything went off without a hitch. Each section of the wedding was meticulously planned and flawless. At the end of the night he gave us the gifts and cards he had collected and he had even numbered all the cards to help us keep track.
If we had to do it all again we wouldn’t change one thing about what Blue Elephant and Fausto did for us. Our whole night was beyond perfect thanks to the incredible team we put together, all anchored by Blue Elephant.
