    Wedding Caterer & Decorations

    We worked with Karla at Elegant since they were the exclusive vendor through our wedding venue South End Raquet Club in Torrance. We booked them pre-pandemic and worked with them through our multiple postponements. They were flexible and understanding each time we had to postpone.

    Because we weren't flower people, our vision for the centerpiece and room decorations wasn't the typical affair. We brainstormed with Karla and provided her a few ideas through Pinterest and what we had in mind, and she was able to execute our vision with a perfect unique candle and greenery oriented centerpiece and decorations for the reception room. The venue had an oddly placed doorway located by the dancefloor, and per our request she was able to conjure up an amazing looking backdrop to where you wouldn't even know it was there. The uplighting they set up was also amazing looking and complemented the existing color controlled ceiling lights.

    The catering was delicious and the servings are huge! All of the appetizers were delicious, but the bruschetta and cheeseburger sliders were our favorites (coconut shrimp, bruschetta, cheeseburger sliders and mini quesadillas). We added two additional appetizers on top of the two appetizers the package came with so our guests could have more variety. For the entrees, we selected the steak, which was cooked perfectly to medium and parmesan crusted chicken that took up half the plate. For the sides, they were able to provide our request for roasted vegetables to pair with the rice pilaf. Safe to say all of our guests left full and happy. Karla and her team worked efficiently to serve all of our 170+ guests in a timely manner. They are reasonably priced and the service is exceptional.

    My now wife had found Elegant Events while looking for local wedding vendors and I am so glad that she did.

    Carlos, his wife Rosa and their team are amazing. They took a seemingly overwhelming task of a wedding and made it easy. When speaking with him you can hear the years of experience in the industry. He made great requests for other venders and even helped us find our reception location.

    They met with us several times leading up to the event and answered every question that we could come up with. Rosa was able to take the almost random thoughts from my fiancé and create the beautiful arrangements and decor. Carlos was able to create a menu to combine our Mexican, Cuban and Irish cultures in such a way that it worked well together and was absolutely delicious.

    They took care of everything they promised and met every one of our requests. Everything was taken care of on time and without issue. The church and reception hall were beautifully decorated exactly as my bride had envisioned. The flowers were beautiful and fresh. The food and service were perfect and everyone had a great time.

    We couldn't be more grateful for everything they did for us! I highly recommend that anyone planning their wedding go through them.

    A one stop shop for Elegance -- Carlos, Rosa and crew made everything so simple and so elegant! The food was delicious, the set up and decor amazing, the flowers perfection. South End was a perfect venue for our son's wedding and we could not be happier with everything. Carlos takes care of it all! And his rates are extremely reasonable. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! #LoveElegantEvents

    Sincerely

    Happy Mom of the Groom

    Carlos was amazing! He made us feel that our wedding reception was in great hands. The dinner was very tasty and many of our guests still talk about it. He gave us exactly what we agreed on and had no unexpected surprises. The presentation and decoration of the entire venue was breath taking. I can with all honesty say that everything turned out just how I imagined it. Thank you Carlos!!!

    Top notch in every aspect! We had our annual awards banquet and it was amazing from start to finish thanks to Carlos and his staff. Classy, friendly and flexible are the three words that come to mind about Carlos. Every detail was covered and the room, the food and the audio/visual services were perfect. We look forward to working with Carlos and his company for years to come and if I ever need a caterer for my own personal events I will most definitely be calling him for that as well.

    Carlos and his team were absolutely amazing from the very first meeting to the end of our wedding reception. When we started talking about food he asked "well, what would you two want." I expected him to have a set menu (which he does have but he also asks if we had anything in mind) and list of decorations but if you have an idea and tell him he will make it happen. He had many great ideas and brought in an item that I really wanted to fit with the theme of my wedding . I would hire him again in a heart beat and probably will never go to another company again for my event needs.

    Elegant Event Decoration Services gave me an amazing service. They help my "dream" invitations come true. But besides that they made my banquet hall soooo beautiful. My theme was 1950's Hollywood. When I enter my hall, I felt like a Hollywood star, literally! The food was delicious. All my guest were very pleased at how my sweet 16 turn out to be. Elegant Event Decoration Services made my Sweet 16 a night I will never forget!.

    We are so pleased to recommend Carlos De Alba and his team for YOUR special event! They executed every detail of my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding reception flawlessly. From the first visit, he made us feel so comfortable!! Everything that was important to the Bride and Groom was of utmost importance to Carlos. As their special evening unfolded, I realized he had made note of every bit of information discussed, because we did not have to ask for anything. All of his staff was so amazing and attentive to the needs of our guests!! Everyone loved the appetizers and the delicious meal! They are still sending compliments about the meal!
    Thank you Carlos & Rosa! The room looked so beautiful, everyone commented on it, and I sincerely appreciate your attention to all the details. A grand time was had by all and we couldn’t be happier with your services!!

    The major thing I loved about my caterer, was the fact that they could provide as little or as much as you need for your event. They can handle all the of the linens, the flowers, the decorations, the planning, the food and there's no nickel and diming for every little item. You want chair covers...included, you want real plates and utensils...included (you'd be surprised how many caterers try to charge you for this). I told him what I wanted...one price...done!

    The day of I didn't have to worry, I knew everything would be set up beautifully, the food would be great, and I could trust them to create the vision that I wanted. My only concern is that I'm a detailed person, and they aren't exactly the type of people that sit there taking down every single thing you say. Was it a problem? Not really, a couple of things weren't EXACTLY how I asked, but in the end it all fit the vision I was looking for and I did tell him I'd trust him to make it beautiful. The decorations were beautiful, the staff helpful, and Carlos and his wife (amazing florist!) are a fun couple to work with.

    As for the food, I'll premise this by saying we had a VERY large menu, with an extremeley large variety of items including dance hour snacks. However, I was a slight bit disappointed in the food the day of. The food was good, everyone loved the variety, but I have to say the food I had at the tasting was so much better than the food the day of that I was expecting the same thing and my expectations weren't fulfilled. Granted I have to give them a break...when you're cooking that many variety of items...I have to be flexible enough to realize that large quantities make a difference, however the food tasting can be a bit deceiving because the day of my biggest problem was that some of my favorites items were a bit overcooked.

    Still overall a great company to work with and I would definitely hire them again.
