The best wedding food ever!

Where to begin, Elite catering was a dream to work with! Terri from the start helped make our vision come to life. I am a foodie and my wife is a plain Jane. Terri made sure everything fit both sides of the spectrum! The day of the event went off without a hitch! The food was even better than our tasting, our guests raved about the food afterwards and we enjoyed every second of our wedding! We already talked about hiring Elite to redo our wedding menu for our anniversary! Elite will be the only catering company we will use, and have already recommended to our friends!

Stellar Team That Helped Every Step Of The Way

The entire Elite team is A+! I first used them for a company holiday party in 2024. They were so easy to work with, and our employees raved about the food, that my husband and I decided to hire them for our wedding.

Melissa, John, and Brooke couldn't have been more helpful. From the tasting with our parents to the small details we wouldn't have thought of, they ensured we stayed on track to have the best night ever. For our cocktail hour and dinner, they helped incorporate different food items that represent where we're from (Puerto Rico).

In addition to the amazing catering, they helped coordinate the entire day. Brooke ensured that all our vendors were up to date on the schedule and that everything proceeded seamlessly. From tent and table/chair delivery to cleaning up at the end of the night, the entire Elite team made our night worry-free.

We would 100% recommend them, and will most likely use them again for both personal and corporate events in the future!

Thank you!!

We can't express our gratitude and appreciation enough for everything you and your staff did for us on our wedding day! Everyone really went above and beyond, checking on us and bringing us food and drink so we didn't have to worry about anything. Everything was delicious and exactly what we hoped and dreamed for! I'm so glad to hear that they had a great time as well; all of our guests were so delighted by the food and service!
Thank you again for helping us bring our vision to light and crafting the perfect menu for our perfect day! If we ever need you again, we will absolutely reach out!! 💜 Catherine & Kyle

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.

Elite events was great to work with!

Melissa and the team at Elite Events were so great to work with from start to finish. They were responsive, helpful and gave practical insight into how to make our dreams come true. They were not only open to our ideas, but would give suggestions based on their years of experience on how to perfectly curate a menu and drinks for our wedding. We did a tasting as well, which was an awesome private experience with the full effect of what our guests would be served on that day. If you need a personal touch to your catering, definitely choose Elite!

November 9, 2024 wedding reception at Cuban Club

We had a menu tasting with Elite Events – Terry. We had gone to a few menu tastings for our wedding, but NONE OF THEM even spoke to us. No lie – Just a ‘hi, thanks for coming, and we hope to hear from you, let me know if you have any questions.’ That did NOT happen with Elite Events. Terry made it an event; she talked to us about the menu and was interested in our off the menu suggestions and ideas. The food was fantastic. It was a no-brainer to go with Elite Events for our wedding. Everyone talked about the food. Melissa’s staff was extremely professional.
