Outdoor wedding

We got rave reviews on the food from all of our guests. Service was amazing. The staff was able to be flexible and adjust schedule when we had to change the timeline at the last minute due to the weather and the boat arrival of the wedding party! They were right on time for toasts and they did an amazing clean up job! We also used them for a happy hour we had the day before - again - reliable and delicious food - right on track with what we wanted!

Five Stars!

We could not have been happier with our catering experience! From start to finish, Patrice and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with—professional, attentive, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process.
The food was incredible and received endless compliments from our guests. Everything was beautifully prepared, delicious, and exceeded our expectations. It meant so much to hear how much everyone loved the meal—it truly added to how special our wedding day was.
Thank you to Patrice and the entire team for your hard work, care, and amazing service. You played such an important role in making our wedding day unforgettable, and we would recommend you without hesitation!

Hire Patrice at Elegant Events if you want HIGH QUALITY food at your event!!!!!

Choosing Patrice at Elegant Events Catering was the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding. Her menus are expansive, unique, and DELICIOUS. Everyone at our wedding came up to us saying, "this is the best wedding food I've ever had". Yes, we know!!! After experiencing her menu tasting at our home, we knew she was the one. We were literally drooling over the food she made for us.
Working with Patrice was fantastic, and she made you feel like family! Nothing's better than being able to fully trust your vendors for the biggest, most important day of your life. Patrice and her team provided a stunning display of food and therefore made every single guest full and happy. Her team also provided bartending services and allowed us to have our own special signature drinks which came out great as well!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH PATRICE!!!

Top Notch Caterer!

Patrice and her entire team at Elegant Events are hands down amazing! As a chef, her cooking is phenomenal. As a business she is professional and so great to work with! I have worked with Patrice on about 5 events in the last few years ranging from 30 guest baby showers and bridal showers to 50-person birthday parties and most recently a larger corporate event. Every event she knocks out of the park! Her food is divine and every guest at the party with will leave telling you that! Her displays are stunning and she truly has so much pride in her work! Every staff member she has ever brought to our events is skilled & kind. I would highly recommend Patrice and her team!

The best Catering !!

We cannot recommend Patrice and her team enough at Elegant events and Custom Catering. All the guests at my wedding made it a point to tell me it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding and how much they enjoyed it. My Uncle from Seattle ( who is a foodie) was so impressed with Patrice’s food he made sure to get a picture with her whole team at the wedding ! Patrice is professional, fun and customizes your food just the way you want it ! 10/10 superb !! Thankyou you again Patrice and we can’t wait to use your services at our next event , love Lisa and Mike Schmitt

Excellent Experience!!



"We had the pleasure of working with Patrice from Elegant Events for my daughter's wedding and it was truly a delightful experience. Patrice worked closely with us to curate a delicious buffet menu that exceeded our expectations. The food was not only scrumptious but also lovingly and elegantly prepared. The service was impeccable, and many of our wedding guests commented that it was the best wedding food they had ever tasted. Patrice's attention to detail and dedication to creating a memorable culinary experience truly made our daughter's special day even more exceptional. We highly recommend Elegant Events for anyone looking for top-notch catering with a personal touch.

Amazing!!!!!

Patrice catered the food for my wedding and provided the bar services. We are from
Boston and had a destination wedding in Jensen Beach, Patrice was sooooo kind to us and easy to get ahold of at any point. The food at the wedding was AMAZING. My guests were saying that not only was it the best wedding food they have had but the best food they’ve had in long time!! Patrice really cares about the food she puts out and it shows. 100000/ 10 recommend!!! We can’t thank Patrice and her team enough for making our day even more special.
