About

The food, the decor, the presentation - each element is carefully planned and put into place. No detail is left undone!

I started the catering business in 1999 when my husband and I got married and had a difficult time finding a caterer that could provide good food and an elegant presentation. Our families had been in the restaurant business for years and we knew what we were looking for...but with each caterer we met, we grew tired of being talked out of what we wanted and presented with a stale package. I knew I wanted to provide a custom approach to catering..hence Elite Catering.

My husband and I enjoyed working with Elite Catering from start to finish. We were able to choose a handful of salads, entrees and sides for our tasting before we decided on which foods we wanted to serve at our wedding. We met with another caterer that only offered a plate of cut fruit and cheeses. It wasn't bad but didn't really provide any insight as to what the actual food tasted like. We met and worked with Luanne, Jennifer and David. All of them were great and made us feel like a priority. Our questions and concerns were responded to in a timely manner. Jennifer even got back to us after hours on her personal cell phone to discuss some changes and details that we had during the week prior to the wedding. Everything went off without a hitch (at least to our knowledge). The set up looked amazing and the food tasted great. All of the servers and bartenders were nice and friendly. Our guests enjoyed the food and had a great time at the open bar. Thank you to Luanne, Jennifer and David for an amazing night. Everything was wonderful! Elite Catering is the way to go for any event, especially a wedding!

Elite is amazing!

Elite Catering was absolutely amazing on our wedding day!! Thank you so much for everything, everyone absolutely loved your food from the cocktail hour, to dinner, to the after party tacos. Your team was amazing and we did not have to worry about a single thing working with Elite!!

Ariell you were so awesome to work with and we are so thankful that you and your team were with us on our wedding day. We loved the food and received so many compliments on dinner.

Hire Elite Catering, they will handle everything from A to Z and make your day stress free, and will bring an incredible level of service to boot. They were even helping to clean spilled drinks off the dance floor during the night. We were so impressed by Elite and their professional team.

THANK YOU Ariell and Elite!!

Elite Catering does an amazing job. The work they put into every detail was noticed by so many guests. The food was more than we could have expected and every person at the reception still talks about how great the food displays were and how amazing the food tasted. Great to work with too!
