Responsive and professional customer service and delicious food! I loved the food so much that we ordered for Thanksgiving!

Elephants was my first and only choice when selecting a caterer for my September 2020 micro-wedding. Their customer service was responsive, professional and notified me of their Covid safety protocols. Each meal was carefully prepared with the finest quality ingredients, individually sealed and delivered to the venue promptly. The food portions were substantial for the value and absolutely delicious! My guests raved for weeks. My family enjoyed their entrees so much that we ordered our Thanksgiving meal from Elephants. Whether you are interested in a quick grab and go meal or catered ever - Elephants is the best!

We had our ~65-guest wedding reception at the Elephants Deli's Corbett Room and it was a big success! The Corbett Room is an affordable yet elegant venue that allowed us to keep our overall wedding budget modest. We had a buffet style dinner and a hosted bar and the room is large enough to accommodate several round tables for guests plus a photo booth, a small dance floor, and a DJ. The quality and presentation of the dinner buffet was outstanding and Carol, the venue/event coordinator was wonderful to work with. She was so incredibly patient with all of my inquiries and she went above and beyond to help make sure our event went smoothly. The onsite event staff were also very efficient and professional. I highly recommend the Corbett Room as a reception venue!

This was the BEST place to hire for our rehearsal dinner that we opened up to the larger family of about 60 people. The staff was pleasant and incredibly helpful - they have outstanding customer service. The price was correct and the quality of the food was amazing - we got lots of compliments, and we actually had a lot of dietary restrictions and a wide range of palettes to please.

I photographed a wedding reception at Elephants' Corbett Room in August of 2014 and was very impressed by the beauty and quality of the delicious food and the attentive service. I especially loved the gorgeous individual mixed berry tarts they prepared for each guest's dessert. Highly recommended!

Elephants Catering. We can't say enough of good things about this company. We work with them at almost 30% of our weddings that we DJ. They have amazing food and with lots of variety. Not the same chicken, prime rib, or fish options like the stereotypic meals at weddings. They have great desserts too. All of their staff is very communicative on the day of and prior to any event. They even check in with each of our DJs throughout any event to see if they've eaten, need something to drink or ask what's next on our agenda for events. Needless to say, We Love Elephants!
