Amazing!!!

Our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without the amazing team behind our catering from Elite Events Catering. From start to finish, they were so flexible, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making sure the food and drinks reflected us as a couple.

We had some pretty specific ideas and requests—both with our menu and our drink selections—and they never once made us feel limited or boxed into a package. Instead, they worked closely with us to create something that felt completely personal and unique. Whether it was crafting custom cocktails, offering alternatives for dietary restrictions, or adjusting portion styles to fit our vision, they handled everything with patience, creativity, and professionalism.

The food and drinks were incredible—our guests are still talking about it! But beyond the taste, it was the care and attention to detail that really stood out. We felt so supported throughout the process, and on the big day, everything was flawless.

If you’re looking for a catering company that truly listens and goes above and beyond to make your vision come to life, this is the one. We’re so grateful for their part in our celebration!

Truly a work of art!

The Elite Events Catering team is a MUST for any event you have in the future. This team was nothing short of a dream to work with during our wedding. From the moment I met Melissa I was blown away by the planning, service, detail and taste of their amazing food. I felt so much comfort in knowing that our catering was taken care of with this team behind the planning and executing. If I ever have another party or event again, this will be the first place we go. Thank you so much for making our experience truly one of a kind.

Melissa is a class act!!! Such an amazing company. We did not have an easy venue in terms of set up full kitchen etc. and Melissa and her team didn’t complain and made the most delicious food! We got so many compliments & truly she is so thoughtful. Would use many many more times!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
