    Amazing food

    We’re from Dallas and choosing vendors for a Sonoma wedding was not easy. Elaine Bells food was by far the easiest decision we made. We had them cater both our rehearsal at Kunde and our wedding at BR Cohn and the food was phenomenal. They checked in on us often throughout our wedding night to make sure we had enough food and we tried all three dishes we served to our guests. They were so kind during our tasting, and through both events they catered. Their food was worth every penny. You will not be disappointed choosing them !

    Elaine Bell Catering's reply:

    Thank you, Lauren! We appreciate the trust you had in us for BOTH of your special days! We enjoyed serving you, your husband and your whole family!

    Delicious food, great experience

    We were very pleased with Elaine Bell Catering! We received many compliments from our guests on the food, both hors d'oeuvres and dinner (especially the mac n cheese balls!). The service was very professional and they did a great job accommodating for dietary restrictions.

    Elaine Bell Catering's reply:

    Thank you, Amy! We appreciate your kind words and thrilled to be a part of your memorable day. We love those mac and cheese balls also!

    Delicious and Beautifully Arranged Food with Impeccable Service.

    When looking for caterers, we were relieved to find Elaine Bell. Their food looked phenomenal (and trust me, it is!), but they also offered full services to meet all our needs and simplify our wedding planning considerably. Instead of finding a baker, wait-staff, flatware, bartenders, etc. - Elaine Bell had us covered. Their service and professionalism was phenomenal- they were consistently attentive to our guests and the ever shifting goings-on between ceremony and reception. We had a full charcuterie table, hand selected dinner buffet and 2-tier cake with assorted baked treats and every bite was beautifully displayed and tantalizingly delectable. I would go with Elaine Bell 100 times over.

    Elaine Bell Catering's reply:

    Thank you for the wonderful review. What a beautiful day, we were thrilled to be a part of your memorable day!

    Wonderful!

    Elaine Bell Catering was recommended to us by our wedding planner! We had a wonderful time at the tasting and Dustin was very helpful in making sure we were happy with our food/drink choices. They did an amazing job setting up for our big day, everything was presented nicely and most importantly everything was delicious!! We would highly recommend using them for your event!

    Excellent food and service

    I'm not just saying this because it was my wedding, all of our guests agreed, this was the best wedding food we have ever had. From the passed appetizers to mains and desserts, we loved it all. The service during the wedding was great as well. The whole team went above and beyond. We got married in a huge rain storm, which meant flipping the same barn from ceremony to dinner and then to dancing. This also meant dinner service was in tight quarters, but the Elaine Bell team pulled it off flawlessly. We are so grateful we chose them for our big day. Thank you for making our guests happy and for the excellent food and cocktails!

    Elaine Bell exceeded expectations! Look no further!

    My husband and I got married in CA on 8/7/2021 and could not have been more thankful that we had chosen Elaine Bell as our caterer! Cara was so incredibly helpful during the planning process and the day of team went above and beyond our expectations!

    Our biggest concerns were the taste of the food, wait time for both food and drinks, and kindness of the staff. They were incredible in all categories. I had so many guests talk about how delicious the apps were during cocktail hour as well as the dinner entrees! Also, there was never a time where glasses were empty. The staff's kindness was unmatched!

    We had last minute mask mandates be put in place before our wedding. The entire staff was courteous and followed these rules and made our guests feel extremely safe!

    Overall we had the best experience with Elaine Bell and we would highly highly recommend them for any catering event!

    Great food and awesome team!

    Jennifer at Elaine Bell was so great to work with. Finding a caterer for our wedding was tough as some other caterers felt too pushy, or wouldn't customize the menu as much as we wanted. Jennifer was always accommodating, creative, and also transparent with us. Our wedding was postponed one year due to Covid and she allowed us to have a second tasting as our ideas had changed for what we wanted. What we loved most about working with EB besides the amazing quality of food for our guests, was their experience really helping keep the wedding organized and flowing on-time. The EB service and bartender team were so fun and personable, several of our guests commented on how nice, great and speedy they were. And everything ran according to schedule. They even packed up some food or us to go after the wedding - which was beyond thoughtful. Thank you EB for making our wedding food and beverage dreams come to life

    Above and Beyond Catering Service

    Elaine Bell Catering did an excellent job catering our wedding. They were flexible in adjusting to our scaled-down wedding and delivered excellent quality across the board. We had an enjoyable time choosing our menu in their tasting room pre-covid and highly recommend the experience to anyone looking for a caterer for their wedding. We had a high expectation for the quality of the food and drink after our tasting, but were especially impressed with the serving staff the day of. They were professional and did a great job responding to requests from our guests. Overall, I’d happily use Elaine Bell catering again and would recommend them to any of our friends or family.

    Delicious, professional & COVID bride approved

    Elaine Bell catered my micro-wedding a few weeks ago, and they made the night. The food was delicious and BEAUTIFUL, I've never seen such beautiful food. They were extremely kind and professional and helped us think through precautions needed to ensure the event was safe in light of the recent health crisis. I can't wait to use them again! I've been craving their ahi tuna tar tar since the wedding!

    Amazing Foodie Wedding!

    Dana and Elaine Bell Catering made our wedding one to remember. All of their food was beautiful and delicious. We are self-proclaimed foodies and wanted our guests to have a fine-dining experience at our wedding. Elaine Bell came through with an amazing meal. They are also very flexible in changing meals and creating new dishes for your specific tastes. They have an amazing menu to choose from but are also willing to customize everything! We would highly recommend Elaine Bell for any wine country weddings.

    Setting the bar for caterers.

    Elaine Bell Catering is a premier caterer that delivered a flawless menu for us. The style of food is California cuisine - seasonal, full of flavor, leveraging local vendors (hello artisan cheese) and beautiful on the plate. We had several food restrictions and they worked with us on a menu that would provide an outstanding meal for our vegetarian and gluten-free guests. The staff was attentive and responded to any needs that arose. I was able to enjoy the meal, from appetizer through the cake, and felt that the flow was seamless. What more could you ask for? If you want a vendor that rises above the crowd, you could do no better.

    Long overdue review of amazing caterer


    This is a long overdue review of the best wedding caterer we could have imagined. We worked with Jennifer Thompson and she was incredible. She worked tirelessly with us tweaking the menu, and continued to make changes after our tasting (which was amazing...so much good food...).

    From the first phone conversation we had with her, Jennifer was intent on making our vision and themes come to life. We wanted Mexican food with a twist for the main course and a selection of hors d'oeuvres that matched our favorite foods. The various iterations of the menu that Jennifer put together were all fantastic. The most challenging thing about working with EB was trying to decide which of the most amazing dishes to include on our menu...(including drinks. who knew lemonade could be so delicious? We chose the maple cayenne but the jalapeno peach was a close second).

    Now, on to the wedding day. As far as I, the controlling bride, could tell, everything went perfectly. The guests loved the food (my co-workers stationed themselves by where the apps were coming out :)) and the staff made sure that my husband and I ate plenty during the cocktail hour. Dinner was somehow even BETTER than the food we tasted in our intiial tasting. We had our own doughnuts and doughnut wall, and the EB staff set it up beautifully.

    As if EB couldn't get any better....the day after the wedding, my husband and I noticed a beautiful EB cooler in the pack of items that came back from the venue. It included a full picnic set with silverware, wine glasses and plates. They packaged doughnuts for my husband and me and also gave us snacks like cheese and pate. We use that cooler regularly.

    All in all, I would hire EB again and again. One year anniversary party?? :)

    Thank You!!

    My stomach is growling as I write this. Elaine Bell catered our wedding on 6/14/19 and we simply could not have been more pleased with their service and FOOD. I mean, just check out this menu:

    - Salad of Baby Organic Greens with Balsamic Roasted Black Grapes, St. George White Cheddar, Spiced Black Walnuts, Fuji Apples, Balsamic Apple Cider Vinaigrette & Basil Oil
    - Greek Roasted Chicken with Lemon, Garlic & Oregano
    - Seared Salmon with Leek Pea Puree, Sweet Corn Fennel Ragout, Pickled Mustard Seed & Popcorn Shoots
    - Tagliarini Salad with Pine Nuts, Lemon & Zucchini with Fresh Herbs & Lemon Herb Dressing
    - Whole Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Honey Thyme Glaze
    - Rustic Artisan Breads with Sweet Butter

    Guest after guest told us it was one of the best meals - and not just wedding meals - they've ever had. We also got RAVE reviews on the cheese display we had out during cocktail hour. The one minor complaint my husband had was that it took a little longer than expected to get the main courses out after the salad (we did plated salads and family style for everything else), but it didn't seem to bother anyone else.

    We worked with Cara and she was organized, kind, and so responsive to our needs - no tomato for me, no meat for him, vegetarian for the cousin, add passed apps, take away passed apps, etc.

    Thank you, Elaine Bell staff, for everything! Highly recommend!

    Unbelievable Food!

    As people who consider themselves foodies, we were looking for the furthest thing from wedding food, to the point where we wanted the food to be the star of the show (secondary to us of course). Too many times we would attend a wedding to only push food around the plate as it was mediocre at best (yes we are a bit judgmental).

    Enter Elaine Bell!

    Due to being on the East Coast, we had to go through online reviews and word of mouth to figure out who we would talk to. Eventually we narrowed our choices to 3, and set up phone calls with all of them. Dustin was our contact at Elaine Bell and he was flexible, able to work within our budget, and provided excellent descriptions of what Elaine Bell could offer. We thought his attitude towards the food was exactly what we were looking for, and signed on (pre-tasting as we couldn’t jet set across the country before choosing). What a great decision!

    When we did finally make it out there to taste after going back and forth over email about menu items, the food was OUTSTANDING. Definitely one of our favorite meals to date in the Napa area (and we eat for a hobby). Left the tasting pumped and overly full (and likely pleasantly spoiled our dinner 5 hours later)

    Come wedding day, our tasting food showed up to our event, no different than the tasting- same exceptional quality :) Our guests unsolicitedly came up to us all night exclaiming about how fantastic the food was and my NYC foodie friends declared it was “not wedding food” (which is a HUGE compliment to us). Dustin even came over to make sure we were happy and we could not have been more thrilled. My wife was only disappointed that she couldn’t eat more in all the excitement. To top it all off, they sent us with a little cooler with our key-lime pie cupcakes (which they specifically made for us at request and were AMAZING).

    Best decision ever (besides marrying my wife

    Our daughter got married at the Secret Garden in Bodega Bay, CA. A magical venue for such an occasion. But what made the event truly amazing was the outstanding quality of food prepared for this event. Everything from the three beet salad to the 48-hour braised short ribs, cedar plank salmon and the amazing sweet pea risotto, to the delicious mini chocolate mousse and crème brulé, was of absolute top quality. The 19-member service staff, whether manning the bars or serving the tables, everything was first class. I would highly recommend this amazing caterer to anybody wanting a guaranteed successful event. Jennifer was a star to work with.

    Elaine Bell Catering was wonderful for our wedding. From the moment I spoke with Liz at EBC I felt at ease and excited to plan our wedding food. We worked with Jennifer for most of our planning and she was also superb! We came up with a menu that was fun and creative and that suited our California and Southern backgrounds and they really worked to meet our budget. The mini chicken and waffles were amazing and so perfect for our wedding! Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the food. Jennifer also went above and beyond to help execute my vision for our cheese display for our cocktail hour! They sent us home with the cutest cooler filled with goodies for munching on the next day too. I was super excited about the cooler and will be using it for all kinds of picnics in the future!

    Amazing start to finish

    I found them online and actually booked before we taste tested since we live out of state. One of the best decisions I made. Richard was a dream and so much fun to work with. One of our wedding themes was travel, so I was determined to do stations around the world. We had Spanish paella, a taco bar, dim sum, and southern comfort. Southern comfort was for our less adventurous guests and I was not as excited about that station, until I tasted the food. Best fried chicken and mac and cheese I have ever had. The day of our wedding I barely ate with nerves and being busy, so was so so glad we had taste tested everything and it was all, without fail, delicious. Amazing. Having had plenty of work chicken dinners, I was determined some something different and they did not disappoint. Excellent quality of food, and our venue was a barn in a vineyard so it did not have a kitchen, they brought all the infrastructure they needed with them. Beautiful presentation as well, and tons of food. People still talk about the amazing food at our wedding.

    After looking at what seemed like endless caterers, my husband and I went with Elaine Bell for our wedding at the Bently Reserve this past June – and between the food and the service, we could not recommend them more highly.

    Our catering manager, Stephanie, was incredible. She worked with us tirelessly on our menu, offering suggestions and making adjustments until everything sounded perfect -- and everything we tried at our tasting was even better than they sounded. We genuinely loved every single appetizer and entrée we tasted (we highly recommend the tuna tartare cones and the mini cheeseburgers, in particular).

    Even better, we found that the quality of the food remained consistent and tasted just as good at the wedding itself, something our wedding planner told us is not always the case. Our guests raved about everything they served – especially the mini donuts they made on-site for dessert. Brides and grooms, do yourselves a favor and GET THE DONUT MACHINE. It was such a fun, unique treat for the wedding; and it kept serving hot, delicious goodies well into the evening to keep our guests happy all night long.

    And on top of the excellent food, the service we experienced with Stephanie and her team, both throughout the process and during the wedding itself, was truly unparalleled. Everyone was super professional and genuinely seemed to care about the work they put into the evening. They were definitely a huge part of making our wedding perfect!

    Oh wow, I don't even know where to begin with Elaine Bell. Just hire them! They were a dream to work with, so easy, flexible, and low-stress. their food is incredible, our guests are still raving about their meals, and their staff is professional, prompt, and so pleasant to work with. We live in Phoenix, AZ so we needed to hire a caterer that could work with us long-distance and work with our wedding coordinator and venue. When we met with Cara for our tasting, she was professional, nice, and very informative. She made planning our wedding so seamless and easy, it took a lot of stress off of us and let us enjoy the weekend. They are true professionals in every sense and they provide you with the highest quality food and service. Our wedding was amazing and a dream come true, and a lot of that can be attributed due to Elaine Bell. I would hire them again in a heartbeat for any type of event, and I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer in wine country.

    Absolutely perfect. 6 stars if I could. Food was like fine dining, service was incredible.

    Debbe was an awesome account manager, and was very helpful in selecting my menu, making sure we had a strong set of dishes that worked well together. I'm a foodie, but planning for a ton of hors d'oeuvres and courses was difficult, and Debbe did a great job helping me through (and dealing with my waffling).

    Our tasting was really nice, they have a great location and great service, and really made us feel like we'd be taken care of. We had notes on some of the dishes (add more cheese to this, a little more soy here) and they delivered.

    The Food - Amazing. Everyone at our wedding raved about the food. "Wedding food usually sucks, this was like fine dining!" they said. The crown royale braised short rib entree was just out of this world. It was one of my favorite things I've eaten since living in the Bay Area, and I was just so proud (as a food snob) to have had it at my wedding. We had 5 hors d'oeuvres and all were awesome.

    The Service - Perfect. During cocktail hour, they sent servers to bring us appetizers to make sure we were well fed (they knew we'd barely have any time). Service was excellent during dinner - our guests said they could tell who were the pros vs. the venue staff. And finally, after the wedding they provided us with a beautiful picnic bag full of snacks, cheese, desserts, and a whole tray of pate that was used in my wife's favorite hors d'oeuvre of the night.

    Elaine Bell did a fantastic job.

    My husband and I just got married in August, and after 11 months of planning I could not be more impressed with the day of execution. From the awesome staff, to the perfect presentations and timeline to the amazing food, the day could not have turned out better. We worked with Richard throughout the whole planning process, and having been born and raised in the Napa Valley, and knowing exactly what I always wanted for my special day, I have to say he was a complete dream to work with and his dedication showed through. It was truly an incredible day and I have to say a majority of that was due in part to such perfect catering. I will definitely be using Elaine Bell again in the future, as will my guests that lived in the area, the food left that big of an impact. THANK YOU AGAIN EB TEAM!!!

    Everyone raved about the food! Chad helped us and just took care of everything. He went well beyond expected. We loved the mini cheeseburgers as the late night snack. Perfect!

    I loved working with Emily at Elaine Bell catering, and I couldn't have been happier with the food at my wedding. Emily was reliable and full of good ideas. She helped my now-husband and me come up with ideas for a scotch-bar and even suggested special ice cubes and a fun display. And the food at the wedding was so good that my wedding guests are still talking about it three weeks later. The baby rack of lamb hors d'oeuvres and the ice cream sandwiches were the biggest hits.

    Absolutely delicious food, beautiful presentations, and a fantastic staff and event coordinator (Richard Earl), we couldn't have been happier with Elaine Bell Catering. It was very important to me and my husband that the food at our wedding be excellent, and that is exactly what we got with Elaine Bell. After several tastings with various caterers in the Bay Area, they stood head and shoulders above the rest with regard to both the taste and visual appeal of the food, and also the ease of communicating with them - it made our decision easy, and the fact that their food and ingredients reflect our love of Northern California's cuisine and its focus on local and organic made us even happier. Working with Richard Earl throughout the wedding planning process was a pleasure - he was unfailingly responsive, helpful and pleasant, and very, very knowledgeable. We came into this without the first idea of how to plan such an event, and knowing that a great deal of the success of the afternoon and evening rested in the hands of the Elaine Bell staff gave us peace of mind. During and after the wedding we received many compliments on both the food and the professionalism and kind attentiveness of the staff. The latter I particularly noted, as well, even in the midst of what was an incredible whirl of a night. We highly recommend Elaine Bell Catering!
