Thankful for Blue Elephant & DOMNIQUE!

Blue Elephant catered our October Wedding at Brick South in Portland and did a wonderful job! Every cocktail hour app was delicious. They had a great selection, and made tweaks to accommodate our requests & guest dietary restrictions. They even made a special “Nana’s meatballs” station to honor my late great-grandmother. We had a buffet dinner and were really happy with everything & got plenty of compliments on the food! We were SO lucky to work with Dominique as our day of coordinator, too, and I can’t say enough good things about her! She was available throughout if I had questions as I was planning, helped coordinate rentals, didn’t hesitate to hop on the phone to go over details as the wedding got closer, and kept everything on track the day of! It was a relief to know I was in great hands - and she’s just a truly kind person! Everyone was very nice and professional, we were so happy with our decision!

Fausto and his team knocked it out of the park!!

WOW what good things can we not say about Blue Elephant and their team? Our wedding food was delicious, guests are still telling us how much they enjoyed it, and we were floored during our tasting at how tasty everything was. The owner of BE, Fausto, is so skilled and knowledgeable in the wedding industry. We also hired him as our Day of Coordinator and are so glad we did - he was a wealth of knowledge for us as we planned our Maine wedding from Rhode Island, also coordinating our wedding and tent rentals. He kept the day running so smoothly - if there were any hiccups we don’t know about them! He and his team completely took care of us, my husband and I even had a dedicated team member, Toni (shoutout Toni!!) to make sure we always had something to drink and eat. In talking with friends and family after the wedding we’ve had a few people mention how nice the wait staff was, and we loved that our guests had that experience too. 11/10 - use Blue Elephant for your wedding!!
