I can't even begin to give enough praises to Carol and all the Elephant's Deli staff. My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception in the Garden Room of Elephant's Delicatessen and it was PERFECT! Everyone RAVED about the food and the beautifully decorated room. Carol was an absolute delight to work with and everything went so smoothly from the first steps of planning all the way through to the final moments of our special day. The price was extremely reasonable as well, for one price we got flower centerpieces, decorations, all the food including wedding cupcakes, chairs, tables, linens, serving staff, and an MP3 dock for our iPod. We highly recommend this venue space for anyone having a small and intimate ceremony. We had a total of 30 people in the space and it was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Carol and all of those who work at Elephants Delicatessen Garden Room were amazing. We had the opportunity to have our Rehearsal Dinner at Elephants Deli in the Garden Room and were so pleased with the service and food. It was a real joy to bring family and friends together in such a space!

Matt and Elephants Deli were great to work with. He was very responsive to e-mails and made a special appointment so that my family could come down for a tasting. He helped us make great choices for the buffet while also staying within our budget. On our wedding day, the Elephants staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Everyone commented on the food and how delicious it was. I would highly recommend Elephants Deli to cater your wedding.

Wonderful food, all the guests loved it! Very flexible with our choices, and made great suggestions. Also had them at the bar, did well but some guests told me a few of the bar staff was rude to them. Overall great service and food!

Elephants catered our wedding and did a fantastic job. I knew their food was amazing from visiting the storefront, so I was blown away when their catering quote was far more affordable than others'. We got a buffet style dinner of very local, summery fare and it was a huge hit. Absolutely delicious! They also provided the linens, cutlery, glassware, etc. and offered a full bar. They had a great assortment of local beer and wine and were flexible about sourcing preferred brands. We also had them bring an assortment of desserts to complement our cake, and those went immediately. Sadly, no leftovers. The macaroons were truly incredible. I loved that I could go in and look at/taste food or dessert on their catering menu whenever I wanted to (at the store) in addition to free tastings.

Overall they provided some wonderful food, dessert, and drink for a very reasonable amount of money. At times during the planning process, response times could be a bit delayed. Not enough to sway my recommendation, however. Highly recommended if you want an affordable caterer who can provide simple but great tasting food.

We were really happy with the food and price of Elephant's Deli, the only hang-up was that we did have a few issues as far as delivery of linens go. By the reception everything had been worked out, but it required a bit of scrambling the morning of. Aside from the one small hang-up, though, everything was great.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
