    Hire Patrice at Elegant Events if you want HIGH QUALITY food at your event!!!!!

    Choosing Patrice at Elegant Events Catering was the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding. Her menus are expansive, unique, and DELICIOUS. Everyone at our wedding came up to us saying, "this is the best wedding food I've ever had". Yes, we know!!! After experiencing her menu tasting at our home, we knew she was the one. We were literally drooling over the food she made for us.
    Working with Patrice was fantastic, and she made you feel like family! Nothing's better than being able to fully trust your vendors for the biggest, most important day of your life. Patrice and her team provided a stunning display of food and therefore made every single guest full and happy. Her team also provided bartending services and allowed us to have our own special signature drinks which came out great as well!!
    THANK YOU SO MUCH PATRICE!!!

    Top Notch Caterer!

    Patrice and her entire team at Elegant Events are hands down amazing! As a chef, her cooking is phenomenal. As a business she is professional and so great to work with! I have worked with Patrice on about 5 events in the last few years ranging from 30 guest baby showers and bridal showers to 50-person birthday parties and most recently a larger corporate event. Every event she knocks out of the park! Her food is divine and every guest at the party with will leave telling you that! Her displays are stunning and she truly has so much pride in her work! Every staff member she has ever brought to our events is skilled & kind. I would highly recommend Patrice and her team!

    The best Catering !!

    We cannot recommend Patrice and her team enough at Elegant events and Custom Catering. All the guests at my wedding made it a point to tell me it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding and how much they enjoyed it. My Uncle from Seattle ( who is a foodie) was so impressed with Patrice’s food he made sure to get a picture with her whole team at the wedding ! Patrice is professional, fun and customizes your food just the way you want it ! 10/10 superb !! Thankyou you again Patrice and we can’t wait to use your services at our next event , love Lisa and Mike Schmitt

    Excellent Experience!!



    "We had the pleasure of working with Patrice from Elegant Events for my daughter's wedding and it was truly a delightful experience. Patrice worked closely with us to curate a delicious buffet menu that exceeded our expectations. The food was not only scrumptious but also lovingly and elegantly prepared. The service was impeccable, and many of our wedding guests commented that it was the best wedding food they had ever tasted. Patrice's attention to detail and dedication to creating a memorable culinary experience truly made our daughter's special day even more exceptional. We highly recommend Elegant Events for anyone looking for top-notch catering with a personal touch.

    Amazing!!!!!

    Patrice catered the food for my wedding and provided the bar services. We are from
    Boston and had a destination wedding in Jensen Beach, Patrice was sooooo kind to us and easy to get ahold of at any point. The food at the wedding was AMAZING. My guests were saying that not only was it the best wedding food they have had but the best food they’ve had in long time!! Patrice really cares about the food she puts out and it shows. 100000/ 10 recommend!!! We can’t thank Patrice and her team enough for making our day even more special.

    The best of the best catering

    On July 4th 2023, I attended a wedding in a private residence right on the intercoastal. Elegant Events was the caterer and Bar Service. They were excellent with the quality of food, the presentation and the staff service. Chef Patrice went above and beyond to meet all of the dietary needs of several of the guests as well. I would highly recommend this company for all of your catering needs.

    Amazing Food and Service

    I cannot express how fantastic the food tasted. The presentation was outstanding as well. We had passed hors d'oeuvres and a pasta station, salad station, sweet station, and stir fry station. We used the bartender service as well for the wedding and had a brunch service the next morning. The food taste was amazing and everything was hot. All of our guests raved about the food and how friendly the staff at Elegant Events were. Patrice met with us several times in the year leading up to our wedding and was always so patient and had great suggestions. We had an outdoor venue and there were heavy rains during most of the meal service and the team executed hot served meals without any issues. We are forever grateful to Patrice and William and the rest of the team for helping to make our Wedding very special with memories that will last a lifetime.

    Great Caterer

    Patrice was excellent and easy to work with. I planned with her for my sons wedding in Florida all while I was in NJ and she was very accommodating to all of our needs. The food was delicious! I highly recommend her for your catering needs.

    The best ever food, service and presentation

    I’d used Patrice and her team before for other events so I knew they’d be great for my wedding g weekend, but even so, they surpassed my expectations. They managed the food for my 3 day affair with expertise and amazingly excellent food for all of it - including a pasta dinner for 80, and brunch for 110, and a dinner for 120- each at different venues and menus: each exquisite. They were simply wonderful.

    “Boston In The House”

    My future sister-in-law and I were planning my small wedding at her home in Stuart Florida and we happened to stumble upon Elegant Events and Custom Catering’s website. I live in the Boston area and not familiar with Stuart at all, but after speaking with Patrice Depino I knew I found the right Caterer. She and I went back and forth via email, fine tuning our menu choices once or twice. She offered her opinion, but also allowed us to have free reign with our selections. The results were spectacular! Her staff was professional and courteous and very attentive to our quests. The food was out of this world! Our guests raved over the passed appetizers and beautifully presented entrees. The Mashed Potato in a Martini Glass was a huge hit! We had people coming up to us days later commenting on how delicious everything was. Patrice and her staff made our wedding very special and memorable. Highly recommend!!!!

    Food was amazing!

    Patrice did a phenomenal job catering our 90-person at-home wedding reception. She made great food suggestions that worked for the variety of guests. Everything was cooked fresh and served hot (or cold, for those cold items). The servers not only passed hors d' oeuvres, but also picked up plates and cups and kept the reception area tidy. When the meal was served (we had food stations), all of Patrice's staff was on hand to make sure none of our guests waited in long lines to get their food. Our guests raved about the food and service for days after. I'd say Patrice went above and beyond to make sure our event was stress-free from a food perspective. She even had her staff cut and serve our wedding cake (which we purchased separately) without an additional charge. Food was an important part of our reception and Patrice delivered. I would recommend her without hesitation.

    Amazing! Didn’t have to worry about a thing!

    Patrice was the best! I planned a Vero Beach wedding from Tallahassee and wasn’t able to do a tasting before hand but all the food was amazing. Some of the wedding guests said it was the best wedding food they ever had. I heard after their truck had broken down on 95 day of but they were able to get another truck and have everything there on time. Service was impeccable. Hire Patrice and you won’t have to worry. You can trust her absolutely.

    Simply amazing!

    From the tasting to the wedding, my husband and I were absolutely blown away with the level of detail and professionalism Patrice had towards our wedding envision. Patrice made the most effort I have experienced during this trying time, making us feel secure in our decision with her and her communication was above and beyond what we could have hoped for. Patrice and her team arrived early to the venue leaving more than enough time for preparations. The food was cooked on site and guests never had to wait longer than a few seconds for a hot plate. To this day, the top comment my husband and I hear is how spectacular and delicious the food was. I highly recommend anyone to check Patrice and her team out for delicious food, amazing support and superb pricing!

    A Wedding Planner's Dream Come True

    As a planner I know how important it is to provide a delicious meal for your guests .My Daughter was married on August 7, 2021. Chef Depino truly provided all of our guests with an impressive menu. All of the food was cooked fresh on site, including an interactive Tempura Station which everyone raved about! I went to every table to greet all the guests and they all told me it was the best food they ever had at a wedding! I have attended and coordinated numerous weddings and I agree that Chef Depino is always on point with flavor, presentation and service. I wanted the best for my daughter's wedding and I got it.

    Perfection!

    Elegant Events catered my sister's wedding at Ever After Farms. All I have to say is that everything was perfect. The taste, timing and service were exceptional. The bride, groom, wedding party and guests enjoyed every bite. Chef Depino runs a well oiled machine. We are so thankful to her and her team.

    Beautiful and delicious!

    The spread was beautiful. The food was so delicious. The chicken and waffles appetizer was so cute and tasty. The beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection and the peppercorn brandy sauce accompanied it perfectly along with the garlic mashed potatoes as well as the green bean almandine. I will be recommending to all my family and friends!

    Wedding caterer

    If I could add more than 5 stars I would. Patrice was the ONLY caterer in Stuart Florida who not only returned my phone call In a timely manner but also followed through with Enthusiasm and absolute caring. She did everything in her power to make our event perfect including going to the event site multiple times in my place (we are from New York so couldn’t get to the beach site prior to the wedding), meeting with the event coordinator who she even recommended to me, recreated our menu several times And never got upset with us
    ( picky bride), calming me and reassuring me whenever I got nervous ( which was a feat in itself)! I can’t say enough about her staff and her professionalism. They also came back the next day to cook an awesome breakfast for all our guests. The food was excellent
    and we truly enjoyed having Patrice and her staff part of our special day. She will NOT disappoint!!!!
    Thanks again for everything you did for us and for making this day perfect and as special as it truly was.

    Fabulous and flavorful!

    Elegant Events was so professional, courteous, and helpful. The food was outstanding, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I used them for both a rehearsal dinner and a welcome party for my son's wedding. I recommend them highly - delightful and delicious!

    Absolutely Amazing Food and Service

    Food was fabulous, everything we wanted. My friends and family are still commenting that they have never had food this good at a reception before. Everything was exceptional from the pasted appetizers to the main course. Their team was professional and took care of all our requests. Would definitely hire again in the future.

    Flexible, delicious food, accommodating

    Elegant Events and Custom Catering was wonderful to work with. We didn't have a large group so they were able to accommodate a few dishes we could eat in the morning as well. They were very personable and very flexible with our schedule. Fun, lively energy!

    Did I mention the food was delicious!?

    Highly recommended!

    Outstanding from start to finish!!!

    We first contacted Elegant Events & Custom Catering 3 weeks before our wedding. Pauline the event co-ordinator is simply the best. She sent me exquisite menus, buffet selections and stations to choose from. I had looked at a few other catering companies before hand and EE&CC's menus blew every other catering company out of the water. A week before our wedding i met with Pauline and Chef Dupino at the location of the wedding to go through logistics and they were amazing and so professional. No job was too big for them. Pauline went above and beyond for me designing menu cards for the tables and they turned out spectacular. On the day of the wedding Chef Dupino and her team were simply magnificent. All of my guests complimented the food and presentation countless times. We were all so impressed. From start to finish the servers and bartender were on top of their game and delivered an exceptional dining experience to my guests all evening. They had a fresh drink in front of them at all times and left with full bellies. We were unbelievably happy how everything turned out on the day and it simply would not have been the same had Chef Dupino, Pauline and their team not been apart of our day. I have never hired a catering company before this and i will never look no further than Elegant Events & Custom Catering again.
    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you did for us. You are all truly amazing and we'll look forward to working with you all again in the near future.

    Outstanding!

    I booked Chef Depino (Elegant Events and Catering) as I was planning my destination wedding to Florida. There is always a certain amount of anxiety when planning an event from a distance, but after researching and reading her reviews, I knew Elegant Events and Catering was the company I wanted to go with. My husband and I are Foodies, and it was extremely important to us for the food to be SUPERB-- and IT TRULY WAS!! Not only was the food incredible, but the staff was professional and courteous. Chef Depino and her team created beautiful displays as well. I can't say enough about how absolutely delicious everything was. My guests are still talking about it. Chef Depino and her team helped make it an unforgettable night!

    Superb! That’s the best way to describe Patrice’s food and her team. With the groom being a professional chef and most guests coming from out of state, the food HAD to be fresh, creative and delicious. We were not disppointed. The guests raved about everything- from the delicious passed d’oeuvres and bar service to the delectable entrees. I would hire her again in a heartbeat as it was one of the best decisions we made for this event.

    Elegant Events & Custom Catering made our Wedding Celebration Spectacular!

    Patrice and her staff made our three day Wedding Celebration unforgettable. The staff is organized, professional, and most importantly friendly. Patrice's extensive menu, affordability, and flexibility allowed me to create with her a variety of menus. They delivered, set up, served, and cleaned up. They even packed up all the left overs and put them in the refrigerator for us. All of our guests raved about each meal from breakfast, lunch, brunch, appetizers, and finally the reception dinner. Everything was amazing, especially our wedding dinner
    which was served right on the beach! If you want your celebration to be fabulous, then you want Elegant Events & Custom Catering!

    An exceptional Wedding

    We were so impressed with the food, professionalism, and quality that we received. Patrice knew exactly how to make our wedding absolutely perfect. The beef tenderloin was amazing. The passed hor d'oeuvres were a huge hit. I wouldn't have chosen anyone else to make this day so special. The staff was on point the entire time. I didn't have to worry about anything. 100%! 5 stars!

    Patrice at Elegant Events was more than just a caterer - she went totally beyond her responsibilities meeting with us at our venue multiple times, recomending other vendors and being a sounding board for our entire wedding. We greatly appreciated her knowledge and advice.

    The food was also perfect, she developed a great menu of food multiple times throughout our wedding. Everything was perfect. The servers she uses were great, and she manages them extremely well.

    This was awesome. Patrice was willing to do anything we wanted. She came to our venue twice prior to the wedding reception. She also came for a tasting in my home so that we could pick the passed hors d'oeuves that we wanted. For this tasting, she did the final preparation in my kitchen as some of the items were to be served hot/warm. Everyone raved about the food at the reception and about how well things ran. Residents of our community are picky and we had 50% of the seats for the wedding reception available for our friends in the community that we did not fill with family. We had about 100 adults for the reception. Presentation was beautiful and the plate color was gorgeous - a riot of color! We had several food stations - beef and pork tenderloin, Italian chicken, pasta, salad stations, mashed potato in martini glass (they raved about that) and a dessert bar - we didn't want wedding cake.

    Patrice was very fast to respond, and willing to offer numerous options to customize our wedding. Other places we checked out told us the guests all had to have the same dinner. The value against the cost was amazing. If you need catering, do yourself a favor, and speak to Patrice about the options she offers. Thank you, Patrice!!

    Patrice catered my wedding in December 2016 and the food was phenomenal. I was actually able to sit down and eat on my wedding day, and I was so pleased with everything. The roast beef tenderloin with horseradish cream sauce and Demi glace' was cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes tasted home-cooked and were so yummy. I cannot tell you how many of my guests came up to me after dinner and raved about how delicious the food was! Thank you so much!!

    I highly recommend Patrice with Elegant Events and Custom Catering. I knew the moment I talked to her over the phone she was going to be the perfect fit for us for catering our wedding. When we did the tasting with her, we could see her passion and love in what she does. Her food is beyond amazing. Her and her staff went above and beyond to make my wedding perfect. She knew exactly what I wanted and needed. No matter what food you have her prepare for you, you can't go wrong. Her staff cleaned up everything like their wasn't even a wedding. PERFECTION!
    Definitely will hire again for any catering needs.

    Truly appreciate all your hard work and making our wedding perfect.

    Thanks
    Mr and Mrs. Russell

    We have been to plenty of weddings where the food has been marginal at best. I wanted to make sure this was not the case for my daughter’s wedding.

    I was looking for a caterer with amazing food and great customer service. Well, we found it! Patrice and her staff at Elegant Events more than met our expectations. From my initial inquiry on the website to the last minute of them being at the venue, they offered non-stop service and professionalism.

    Wedding planning was challenging at times as this was a destination wedding with my daughter and I living in two different states. Luckily, we had a great wedding planner and Patrice, who was more than accommodating with our travel for the planning details. I felt like Patrice was definitely the one for our wedding but our tasting sealed the deal. Her food was over the top amazing.

    We knew we wanted to go with food stations and she had more choices and options than we knew what to do with! We ended up with the perfect combination of food options. Our guests raved about the presentation and how absolutely fantastic the food was.

    If you are looking for a caterer for your wedding (or other similar event), look no further. Patrice is hands down the best!

    It was such a pleasure dealing with Patrice. From our first consult to to follow up everything was 5 star. The menu we chose was Luau style and boy did she go above and beyond our expectations. Our guests loved everything and all wanted several of her recipes. Her staff were all wonderful and took such good care of our guests. Our only regret is we didn't get to enjoy more of her food. We would holy recommended Patrice and her amazing staff. We hope to use her again for our next big party or our 1 year Anniversary dinner. Her coconut chicken and pulled pork was out of this world.

    We had a small same sex wedding at my parents' home in Port St Lucie, FL. A total of just 27 guests. Patrice provided fresh, delicious food. Everyone raved about the beef tenderloin, I loved the salad with pistachios and strawberries. The mac and cheese was great. She's very particular about her food and wants everything just so. My main focus was on fresh good food, I was not disappointed in that regard and we got lots of compliments.

    Since my mother and step-father to be run businesses and work full time, I, the food hound in the family got the responsibility of selecting a caterer for their engagement party. I got so frustrated with this task that I created a menu with a few ideas of what we wanted and emailed it out to about 15 caterers.

    Since we wanted about 4 different passed hors d' oeuvres and surf and turf for the dinner portion for only 35 people most caterers wouldn't work with me. They wanted to sell me quantity not variety, and they also wouldn't allow us to take left overs we purchased home. They were not upfront about where they purchased their fish and if it was frozen or not (big deal to us) and wouldn't work with us on cuts of meat either.

    Patrice called me in the evening, I knew it was a caterer, I didn't feel like speaking with another or getting gouged again but I'm glad I answered.

    Unlike every single other caterer I spoke with, she didn't rush me off the phone. She listened to everything I told her, then asked plenty of questions. We stayed on the phone for an hour and a half! She even allowed me to find my own fish, fresh, never frozen cobia from a friend of mine and cooked it perfectly herself. Everything for my mothers event was personalized, her staff was wonderful and the food was to die for! I had so many compliments on Patrice, her services and her wonderful food.

    I really can't express enough how personal of an experience Patrice makes catering. I felt like we had a friend in the kitchen cooking for us.

    When dinner was through they bagged all the left overs for us and cleaned up everything spotlessly.

    If I ever get hitched I will be calling Patrice for my own without a doubt!

    There are not enough words to describe how AMAZING of a person Patrice is. She is more than a caterer. She was there for me for everything! Her food is fantastic and people are still raving how delicious her spread was. She was very professional, kind, and cares so much about what she does. She truly made my wedding a memorable experience and it wouldn't have been the same without her. From the moment we did our tasting to the end of our wedding she was there every step of the way. I can't wait for our next event to have Patrice cater for us again. I couldn't have imagined having anyone other than Patrice for my wedding food. You definitely will not be disappointed! Here's to Patrice for making my wedding truly a dream come true!!!!!

    I can not say enough about catering by Elegant Events Catering. Look no further if you desire a caterer in the Stuart area. Patrice and her crew are the best. Great food and attention to presentation were noted by all guests. There was a great assortment of items to please everyone! The staff were professional and courteous! Call Patrice...you will not be sorry!!!

    O my goodness, I do not know where to begin. I will start with Patrice. She is fantastic, creative, and wonderful all rolled into one person! The food was beyond delicious and all the guests commented on the food and how delicious it was and how beautifully it was presented. Tyler, our chef was absolutely great and stayed with us to make sure everything was done as we liked it. The staff was wonderful and attentive and did a great job. I knew when I first met Patrice that I wanted her to cater the wedding. And I am so glad that I met her and that she was available for us. The food was just what I wanted and it was so fresh and plentiful. I could just go on and on. It was a great, great experience and my wedding was magical and wonderful largely due to Patrice!!! I will stop now but .....

    Patrice and her team were very efficient and professional. They worked well with us making menu suggestions and other details for the evening. They recommended the correct amount of staff so that al the guests were passed food and it all ran very smoothly. They also got here early enough to get everything set up without a hitch. The team worked very well together. Everything was just perfect! The food was absolutely fabulous and we received many many compliments on the catering. I would definitely recommend them and tell you that you will not be disappointed.

    Patrice was a gem to work with! From start to finish, I was highly impressed with her professionalism, flexibility and overall performance. At the start I was looking for items to serve that would have an 'Aussie' theme for my husband to be. Not one caterer was willing to veer off their menu, but Patrice accepted the challenge quickly and impressed us with her choices. The food was fabulous!!! She not only became our caterer, but helped with all the final table organization. Even helped me find a wedding cake. I will have Patrice do all my future events!!!

    Patrice Depino (Elegant Events and Custom Catering) catered my husband's parents 50th wedding anniversary. It was wonderful! I couldn't have been more pleased especially that I was planning this event from out of state and I had never met Patrice before! But after corresponding with Patrice via phone and email I was certain that she was the right choice! And she proved me right! I wanted an elegant event with great food - and that's what Patrice delivered! Patrice and her staff were marvelous! Patrice also helped in finding the right rentals company (and they were awesome too!). The day of the event, Patrice and her staff arrived on time and with much enthusiasm. The food was fabulous! And their service impressive! I must mention that after seeing how Patrice and her staff worked together, one gets the feeling that her staff is an extension of her - they are not just employees simply doing a job; they really shined through! I would hire Patrice Depino again in a heartbeat!

    My son and beautiful daughter in law chose to have their wedding reception in my backyard. Patrice and company were chosen to be the caterers. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was professional. My kitchen was left cleaner than it was before they arrived! In addition, all left overs were refrigerated, and we enjoyed them for the next couple of days. Well done, and thank you, Patrice!

    We hired Patrice to be our caterer for around 70 people at a backyard wedding reception but got so much more. From the first contact to clean up Patrice and her staff at Elegant events went above and beyond.

    The food. Delicious. From day one of wedding planning we decided that, if nothing else, the food at our wedding was going to be amazing. We called countless places and went on many tastings and nothing even compared to Patrice and Elegant Events. She came to our house for the tasting and brought everything with her, all we had to do was sit back and enjoy. Everything came out delicious at the reception. From the prime rib and turkey to the amazing anti-pasta station (seriously, get the anti-pasta), everything was spot on.

    The service/professionalism. The staff was very professional and helpful throughout the entire event. They showed up nice and early and set everything up and stayed late to take everything down. They even packed up all the leftovers and put them in the fridge for us! I can assure you we thoroughly enjoyed those over the next couple days.
    I can also not say enough about Patrice. Not only did she provide top notch catering service but also helped us figure out our rentals and advised us on what we needed as well as things we didn't need to save us money.

    I highly recommend Elegant Events and assure you that tyou will not be disappointed!

    Patrice makes wonderful food.She puts her own signature on the classics and has some very creative ideas. Everything was garnished and presented beautifully.
    Our guest have all given us positive feedback on how delicious and beautiful everything was.

    My only regret was that we did the bar ourselves which means supplying all the ice and coolers as well as lemons,limes, etc.. There was a lot of leftover liquor and wine which is ok with us, but
    if we did this again I would recommend letting Patrice handle the bar as well.

    I would highly recommend Elegant Catering and Events if you aprreciate good quality and beautiful presentation.

    Patrice and her staff provided a quality meal and responsive service to the 40 or so people who attended our home-based indoor-outdoor wedding under threatening and noisy skies. It all starts with the "customer" which she demonstrated by preparing various foods for us to to test and then select for the final menu. How successful was she? Wedding guests spontaneously applauded her as she came to the head table to greet us. Throughout the meal, you could hear comments (including our own) about most everything that was served, from the hors douvres to the salads and entrees. The salmon was especially well-received as were the various canopies and other pre-entree delicacies. We can't fail to mention that the serving staff was responsive without being intrusive. A final indicator of the food was that there no leftovers to take home!

    Fabulous food, below average bartending

    We used Elegant Events and Custom Catering for our wedding and the food was truly amazing. I made sure to try everything and everything was scrumptious! Patrice's food was a hit with my guests who all gave rave reviews. There were a few glitches with the service and the bartending which may have had to do with poor planning, but I can only rate what I see. The problems revolved around missing items like no lemons for the bar, few plates for the beautiful charcuterie display and no plates the dessert station. I'd recommend making certain you or your planner are extremely organized, especially because it's a fairly bare bones operation which doesn't provide much of its own cooking equipment, plates, utensils, glasses etc. My planner handled the majority of the communication with the company so I didn't know they were planning on using plastic glasses until a chance conversation 3 days before my NYE wedding. We did end up getting glasses but there weren't enough of any kind. I also cannot understand how one stocks a bar with limes but no lemons. Was the entire town out or did they forget? I'm afraid that it's difficult to make lemonade when life gives you limes. I honestly don't know if I'd use them again as I feel details that went unnoticed by my planner (a review best left for another time) should have perhaps been pointed out by them and addressed. That being said Patrice went out of her way to costume her staff for the Wonderland theme, providing decorated hats akin to the Mad Hatter's which was a pleasing touch!

    The food was exceptional. All of the guests raved about how it was some of the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Patrice was on top of calls and emails. She created a menu for us very quickly based on our desires. She was also very responsive to any questions that I had (and I had a lot). I would have liked more appetizers to be passed, as many people said they loved them but didnt get to eat as many as they would have liked. There was also confusion about the cake and where it was supposed to be positioned for the cutting and some confusion about if the children were supposed to be served the same food or not as the adults. I suggest putting everything in writing to avoid all confusion. Most of the other things that I asked for that were in writing were done (with the exception of having the candles in the hall lit before guests entered, my wedding planner and friend had to do that). My wedding planner said there was a scare at the end of the night and they thought they were going to run out of food, but we ended up having just enough! It was well worth the money for the delicious food that they provided.
