Jean Sent on 11/18/2019Book them if you want amazing service and great food!
Wow! Where do I begin? I had a beyond amazing experience with Eleven Courses Catering. Staci was my catering coordinator the day-of and she was FANTASTIC! She was everywhere and nowhere at the same time! She would swoop in and help and then disappear and take care of everything! She is wonderful and the best person I could ever wish for in that position. Also, the food was delicious. My favorite things were the corn bread, mac and cheese, and chicken milanese but I truly enjoyed everything. The bartender and other staff members all had such amazing attitudes and were great to work with as well. I would recommend Eleven Courses to anyone who wants a seamless wedding, wonderful food, and great people to work with! -

Highly Recommend!
Eleven courses made our dream wedding a reality. We were truly blown away by the hard work and dedication of the whole team. The way they went above and beyond and the attention to detail from the time we had our first consultation until the end of the night on our wedding day. They made us feel so at ease and made something that could be super stressful completely seamless. The food was some of the best food we’ve actually ever had and literally had guests calling us weeks after still raving about how amazing the food was. Anyone looking for a caterer for their wedding do yourselves a favor and give Eleven Courses a call you won’t regret it! -

Can't recommend 11 courses enough. They were in constant communication with us whenever we reached out. We had many questions and food allergies, which they handled so well. They were super creative in their dish options, and the plating was so beautiful. Guests were raving about how good the food was. PLEASE GO WITH THEM. Had such a great experience. -

We had the most amazing experience with Eleven Courses for our October 12, 2025 wedding! Jim was very willing to work with us to make sure our wedding was exactly the way we wanted it, even expanding the bar package to include beers that we enjoyed and adding a third meat option for us. Braxton was AMAZING throughout the whole process but especially on the wedding day! Every time we turned around they were there with appetizers or drinks for us, they even found us outside while we were taking pictures! The food was INCREDIBLE and we would highly recommend everyone at Eleven Courses! -

I cannot speak highly enough about Eleven Courses. We used them for our wedding on 4/5/25 and it was a pleasure working with them every step of the way. They are so organized, communicative, professional, and experienced. I went into the day fully knowing and trusting that they were going to execute everything as planned. They truly go above and beyond and cover every possible need you may have. On top of that, the food is amazing. Everyone said it was not only the best wedding food they have ever had, but some of the best food they have had in general. Even as a buffet, the food was comparable to eating at a fine dining restaurant. The staff for the day of were all very friendly and helpful. They ensured we had everything we needed for a next level wedding experience even though the wedding was not a venue, it was at my parent's house. It was so nice going into the day knowing they had everything covered. I got to truly enjoy my wedding because they worked so diligently behind the scenes to make sure everything came together as planned. -

David Sent on 11/03/2024Excellent food & service!
We were thrilled with the delicious food that Eleven Courses served at our wedding! From the appetizers to the entrees and mini desserts, everything was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the flavors, and we loved seeing everyone enjoy the food all night long.
Communication during the planning process was spread across several team members, which at times made it challenging to get clear answers, they were quick to respond and always resolved our questions. Their team was professional, punctual, attentive, and ensured each course flowed seamlessly. Their presence was calm and professional, which helped us feel at ease, knowing everything was handled perfectly.
We’re so grateful to Eleven Courses for their dedication to making our day memorable and delicious! -

Catherine the event coordinator of our wedding was outstanding. She was prompt to handle questions I had even the night before our event. The food was outstanding, and the entire staff was professional, friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend Eleven Courses to anyone planning an event or wedding. -

Naomi Sent on 06/19/2024A Flawless Event Thanks To Eleven Courses!
I have very high standards working in the banquet & events industry and these guys knocked it out of the park. Eleven Courses Catering was extremely professional throughout the entire planning process. They checked on me and my (now) husband throughout the evening, but what really stood out is that they were checking on our parents AND the wedding party. The food was incredible, everyone raved about the appetizers. I know it’s uncommon to see salads being eaten, but that strawberry goat cheese salad I could have made my main course meal. Everything was out in a timely manner, the drinks were stiff (but not too stiff) and everyone genuinely seemed happy to be helping us celebrate our day and making us feel special. Charging an appropriate amount AND living up to the high standard of an event planning professional is hard to come by. I would love to work with them again on any future events we have. -

Eleven courses was super responsible and flexible with our wedding menu! Guests are still talking to us about the cornbread we served at our wedding. They were super flexible with our last minute signature drink, had all of our guests food allergies and sensitivities handled, and were super attentive during the day of the wedding! -

We hired Eleven Courses for our wedding and they were absolutely wonderful to work with. Not to mention they had the best pricing of any of the caterers we talked to. Raquel, Braxton, Lauryn and Grace were all fantastic. They made sure our venue was setup exactly the way we wanted and the food was delicious. We got so many compliments. I highly recommend Eleven Courses!! -

Brian Sent on 12/15/2022Eleven Courses is Phenomenal!
Eleven Courses was phenomenal for our wedding. They offered an amazing menu selection with incredible food. There are so many options so you can put together the perfect menu for you, but you never feel overwhelmed by all of the choices. For our Maryland wedding, we had so many guests compliment the food by saying it was the best crabcake they ever had! And the wedding cake they prepared was the best cake we ever had! Not only was the food tasty, but the servers and bartenders did an amazing job. Most importantly, while working with the Eleven Courses team, we felt constantly reassured that they were on top of everything and able to handle any special requests we had. They also did a great job making recommendations to us when we needed it. Eleven Courses was a major highlight of our wedding and we are so glad we picked them to be our caterer. -

Eddie Sent on 10/23/2022Eleven courses catering will rock your world!
I own and operate an event planning company called IMPACT Collective. We met Eleven Courses at one of our venue sites called Whitehall in Annapolis. Their owner Jim is a fierce and friendly leader who leads by example. You can tell that he has a passion for what he does. He is humble and loves to serve his clients. Without a doubt, Eleven Courses has an incredible staff and super delicious food. Their options are so unique and tasty, leaving our guests always wanting more. Another colleague, Kim, worked with and my wife on a private event and did a fabulous job. Her customer service and friendly approach kept our friends and family feeling like they were royalty. The apple doesn't fall far from the company tree at Eleven Courses Catering. I can't recommend them enough for weddings, corporate events and personal events! -

Eleven Courses catered the welcome party that my wife and I had the day before our wedding and they were awesome! Our budget was a little on the low end for them but they were completely professional, super responsive and helpful. Their food was amazing, we did kind of a buffet style situation which worked great for us at the AVAM cafe. They made our signature cocktails and helped us with linens. They were truly a pleasure to work with and I would 100% recommend working with them if you get the chance! -

Ashley Sent on 08/28/2022No one stopped talking about the food!
There wasn’t a guest at our wedding that didn’t mention how amazing the food was! Raquel never let my cup go empty, the chef personally checked on us throughout the meal, and the food was to die for. -

Gia V. Sent on 07/20/2022Gluten Free Dream Menu
Our entire menu was gluten free because one of us has a sensitivity. Eleven Courses, from the beginning, was knowledgeable and showed us everything that is already gluten free or can be made gluten free. We ended up with a double entree plate that was such a hit with guests and the crEATe desserts were to die for! I am still dreaming about that banana bourbon pie. We got to taste everything - even though we missed cocktail hour they had a spread of the appetizers waiting for us at the sweetheart table. They served us dessert and made sure our cup was never empty of whatever drink we wanted. The wedding was originally supposed to be Sept 2020 and these guys stuck with us through Covid until we could finally celebrate in April 2022! Amazing team and amazing experience! -

Eleven Courses Catering & Events catered for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with the wonderful, and affordable, services they provided. The food options we selected for our cocktail hour and buffet style dinner course were nothing short of delicious and the portions were plentiful. In addition to the food served, we were also impressed with the wide array of options and the day-of service for our open bar. Eleven Courses staff also helped us to create our “his” and “hers” drinks, which turned out to be exactly what we wanted and more. In the months leading up to our wedding, all of the staff (most often Raquel and Emily) were incredibly helpful and friendly whenever we reached out with questions. On the day of our wedding, Matt was also a pleasure to work with and was very attentive to guests’ dietary restrictions and other needs/requests.
In short, Eleven Courses played a large role in helping to make our wedding a perfect day. For this, we cannot thank them enough and would recommend them to anyone looking for catering for their own wedding! -

After researching dozens of local MD caterers, we were so happy we decided on Eleven Courses for our wedding day. We found the perfect venue with a wedding date only 4 weeks out so finding a caterer quickly was our biggest worry. Jim made this process very comfortable and as soon as we talked to him we felt at ease. Jim reassured us that Eleven Courses had the expertise and experience to put together our vision in such a short time frame and he was absolutely right. EC made the planning process smooth and fun. They had many versatile options which allowed us to customize our day of menu within our budget. Jim was accessible, responsive and shared his wedding day experience with us to make planning in such short notice much easier. Jim was direct and clear with us and when we had a small discrepancy the week of the wedding, Jim personally handled it and met us half way which we really appreciated. Nick and the head chef made the tasting experience fun and the logistics simple. The food was very good and we had so many options to select from. Matt and Jamie did an excellent job as day of coordinators and we really enjoyed having them at our wedding. They kept up with our busy timeline and worked well with our wedding coordinator to make everything come together seamlessly. Our servers and especially bartenders were personable and efficient. The entire staff helped make this a perfect worry free day for us. Eleven Courses combines expertise, day of experience, many great food options, and friendly and professional service with a competitive price. We are very happy we selected Eleven Courses and would absolutely use them again as well as recommend highly for wedding catering. -

Our guests complimented the food over and over again, especially the appetizers including bite sized chicken and waffles, fish tacos, and crab dip. The dinner food was also amazing! Everyone at Eleven Courses was an absolute please to work with and were so accommodating of our small windows of opportunity to come home for a tasting and meeting, as we were panning our wedding from across the country. For alcohol, we were able to provided our own alcohol and Eleven Courses provided the licensed bartenders. Linens were also provided. The day of, everyone was wonderful and kept our glasses and plates full while we were busy visiting with guests and enjoying the day! Highly recommend! -

Gabrielle Sent on 06/11/2021Amazing team of talented individuals
I am a Covid bride whose original date was 09/18/2020. We booked this team In February of that year and we have no regrets. When Covid hit we were allowed to move our date with no fees or penalties to 08/27/2021. Then our venue closed suddenly without any warning or notice (less than 90 days out). We only found out when our emails bounced back. We immediately reached out to Jim and his team and they were beyond understanding and left us an open window to find a new venue and again, no fees or penalties accessed. My biggest fear was losing out on the money we had paid the venue and catering and having to a have a backyard yard wedding with boxed lunches because of our contract. Jim and his team told me immediately to clear my tears and don’t stress.
Worth mentioning, the food we had at the tasting was amazing!
I have Nothing but high praises for Eleven Courses. You will not regret this decision. There are plenty of couples who are left with nothing after businesses closed due to Covid but we are beyond blessed that people worked with us when they did not have to. -

Eleven Courses catered my wedding this past October, a small(ish) 50-person cocktail hour and plated dinner. Let me preface this by saying I used to be an event planner for a hotel chain so I'm very familiar with the amount of time and detail that goes into a wedding... Or any social event... Small or large.
My husband and I reached out to about 6-8 catering companies to research menus, pricing and inclusions which was a little overwhelming. But of them all, only Eleven Courses asked immediately to schedule a call with us so they could better understand our vision for the day. That first phone call was with the owner himself. He was extremely personable, professional and made us feel comfortable like we were talking to a friend... And by the time the call ended, my husband and I actually felt excited instead of overwhelmed. We immediately started envisioning our menu as if Eleven Courses was the only caterer. The prices were comparable to the other caterer we were considering, but we already felt the connection with Eleven Courses and I was excited about the menu they provided. (They were also much lower priced than a few other caterers we reached out to, and there were 1 or 2 caterers even lower but I felt like you'd get what you paid for with the lowest priced options).
Eleven Courses offered a tasting and everything was DELICIOUS. Not only was the presentation of everything impressive, the flavors were right on point. We asked the chef to suggest an alternative option to the fish entree on the menu, and his tweaked rendition was phenomenal. They are extremely accommodating and creative. We got a ton of compliments from our guests after the wedding as well! I definitely suggest the fried green tomato slider (appetizer), the tiger shrimp crusted in quinoa (appetizer), rockfish in garlic cream sauce (entree-this was the modified item) and the truffle potatoes. Ohhhh and the milk and cookie bar 😊
Lastly, the planning and execution were not the only things on point. During the wedding, Raquel and her team were extremely attentive and checked in with myself and my husband throughout the evening... Bringing us side plates of all the cocktail appetizers since we were so busy with the photographer and family. They ensured we always had a drink in hand, and offered to bring us seconds of anything we wanted after dinner. We also were given a to-go bag of cookies to bring home with us.
Thank you Raquel, Chef, and ALL the others that partook in my wedding. You made the night feel seamless. If anyone is considering them, do it!!!!! -

Nikki Sent on 09/22/2020Best Caterer Ever!!!!
Eleven Courses went above and beyond for our wedding on August 29, 2020 and the food was AMAZING! They stuck it out with us after having to postpone from March 21, 2020 and having to change venues 3 different times due to COVID. They didn't complain once, attended walk throughs at each of our 3 venues and was happy to do anything to make our day happen and to make it special. COVID caused a lot of issues with venue changes and plans, but they stood by our side throughout the whole process. I am very thankful for our point person Raquel! She made sure that our day went smoothly and made sure we were taken care of all night. She truly went beyond her job description to make sure our day was perfect. I would highly recommend Eleven Courses!!! -

2020 has not been easy for any brides, groom, or vendors. We have needed to move our wedding twice now, and it's been a stressful ordeal. My fiance and I appreciate Jim, the owner, calling us personally to discuss options and working with us during these rescheduling moves. Can't wait to let you know how the big day goes! -

As the wedding venue owner of La Banque de Fleuve, we are always looking for excellence in concept to offer to our clients. Eleven Courses fits that bill completely! Their food is imaginative when asked for and simple when desired, but always beautiful and delicious! They arrive with a smile on their faces, take excellent care of our guests and venue. We love having them in Havre de Grace at both our waterfront and historic venues. Looking forward to seeing them in the upcoming 2020 wedding season!

The creativity, quality and presentation of their food is superior. We had tried two other catering companies for comparison and quite frankly there was no way to compare. After our tasting we were incredibly confident they would deliver. The trayed apps were a hit, particularly the korean tacos. We did a dual entree of beef and salmon which were both amazing. We did a small cake and mini dessert bar as well. Our guests complimented every aspect of the food delivered. We could not have been happier with our experience with them. Thank you to Jim and your staff for a happy and well fed crowd! -

Eleven courses is INCREDIBLE. Their passion for food and genuine care for their clients was evident at every second of our tasting, wedding day and everything in between. They were so flexible- they put us at ease when we had to find a new caterer, always willing to call us despite the CA time difference and even drove to our location 2 hours away on a holiday. GENUINE NICE PEOPLE. Janae was AMAZING every second of planning she even helped the events run smoothly the day of and actually made sure we ate the day of. I get compliments on our wedding food and creative late night snack every day! Thank you SO much, we will continue to recommend them for every future event!! -

I had contacted Eleven Courses for my fiance and I's wedding for next year and Staci was able to fit us in for a tasting that same day due to some scheduling conflicts on my fiance and I's part in not being able to come in sooner.
The food we had for the tasting was absolutely delicious and Jim the owner, as well as Staci answered all of our questions and concerns that we may have had about or potential menu. They made us feel confident about having them host food for our wedding and we booked them on the spot.
I couldn't recommend them enough! Their food, as well as customer service has been nothing short of amazing. -

Samantha Sent on 08/15/2019Delicious and Interesting
When we started to plan our wedding, we knew we wanted interesting and delicious food. Eleven Courses is fantastic at both! Their menu showcases their expertise at a wide-range of styles: from comfort, to cultural, to fancy. There are plenty of options to build the perfect menu and they are willing to work with you if there’s something you want not on the menu. At our wedding, we could not stop eating and people couldn’t stop raving about how much they loved the food. Our guests devoured the crab dip, fish tacos, fried green tomatoes, and chicken and waffles during cocktail hour. During dinner, we enjoyed perfectly cooked steak and salmon, a potato melody, seasonal vegetables, and the perfect sweet corn bread. Everything was seasoned and flavorful.
Also, do you and your guests a favor, get the cookies and milk dessert. The snickerdoodle was the best cookies I have ever had and I loved the sea salt toffee flavor. Everyone, from the smallest toddler to the elderly guests, were enjoying warm cookies and shots of milk. It was the hit of the party.
Not only is the food delicious, but everyone is so darn nice. At our initial tasting, the owner and chef, Jim came out to talk to us about the food and our vision. While planning, Janae answered our endless questions with patience, helpfulness, and knowledge. At our wedding, Chef Shaun came out to personally check on us twice and was willing to make us a fresh batch of the chicken and waffles appetizer because it was so delicious. Hannah was our day of coordinator from Eleven Courses and she constantly made sure we had drinks and food. She even came out to Frederick for our final walk through a month before the wedding. Hannah was so organized and thoughtful, helping the day run smoothly. Every single person at Eleven Course helped make our wedding a delicious success. It was the best wedding food I’ve ever had! Seriously, do yourself a favor and get some of those cookies.

Amazing food and wonderful service!
Eleven course was amazing for my wedding this past weekend! The quality of food and the price was exceptional! We went for a tasting and had the short rib, boscaiola chicken, chicken and waffle appetizer and fried Mac and cheese appetizer. They were all amazing and we decided to go with everything we tried for the wedding. Janae was amazing to work with! She was so helpful through planning the whole wedding and helped me choose linens table setup. She made everything go so smoothly for the wedding! The hors D’oeuvres were amazing! I wish I ate more! The bacon wrapped scallops, chicken and waffle and fried Mac and cheese were the best hors D’oeuvres I have ever had at a wedding! We got so many compliments on how great the food was! For your wedding don’t hesitate to hire eleven courses! We will be using them for any future events or we have! -

Caitlin Sent on 08/04/2018I can’t say enough great things about Eleven Courses! They were the first caterers we sampled and after trying a few others we just knew no one could top them. Jasmine and Janae were my main points of contact throughout this process and they were both so amazing with having all the answers for me anytime new questions came up. After talking about budget and what types of foods, I was sent an estimate with a menu that had a huge variety of choices. We wanted a Southern theme since I am from GA and my husband is from Southern MD and it just fit our personalities. The appetizers were chicken & waffle bites, fried green tomato sliders and bbq pork wontons. All were amazing! One thing I really loved about Eleven Courses was that while my husband and I and the wedding party were getting photos taken and missing the cocktail hour, a catering staff person made sure to bring us our signature drinks and trays of the appetizers to us all while doing photos. That was so amazing and helpful to stay fed throughout the process! When we got to our table at the bride and groom place settings, our food and signature drinks were there waiting for us after the first dance. We had a buffet so it was nice that we didn’t have to go through the buffet line! The entrees we got were Chicken Milanese and Braised Short Rib. I highly recommend both! We got rave reviews from our guests about the food and are still hearing how good the food was! We went with the full bar package and it was totally worth it to not have to worry about acquiring liquor, beer and wine and then having to take whatever was leftover so if your budget allows for it, I highly recommend going this route. My signature drink was a peach sangria and the bartenders made it perfectly! My husband doesn’t drink so he chose a bottled cream soda, Stubborn Soda, and that was the only thing we purchased separately. Their professionalism and quality of food and service is unparalleled and worth every penny! -

Ashley Sent on 09/09/2017I couldn't be happier with using Eleven Courses for my 9/2 wedding. When my husband and I tasted the food, we knew we wanted Eleven Courses to cater our wedding. They were so accommodating of our multiple requests, especially wanting to use an alternative dessert option (donuts and cookies) and keeping up with the many detail changes that happened as we needed to move our wedding indoors. My guests are still raving about the food and the service was top notch. The best part was that one of the waitresses continued to seek my husband and I out during the wedding to make sure we got to try all of the food, even when we were taking pictures. Thank you Jim and Eleven Courses! -
![Alessa]()
Alessa Sent on 10/11/2016All I can say is WOW! Jim and Melissa from Eleven Courses went above and beyond all of our expectations. Unlike other caterers, they did not nickel and dime us the whole way through. They were very willing to work with our budget and offered suggestions for how to keep it in check. They even offered options and advice outside of their services to help us. They met all of our special requests and made special exceptions for what we needed. The day of- boy, did they deliver! Everyone raved about how fantastic and unique our food options were- like buffalo chicken egg rolls and mini chicken and waffles! I heard so much about how delicious everything was all night. The Eleven Courses staff made sure my husband and I were satisfied throughout the entire evening. Jim Benson, who was very familiar with our venue, even helped organize other aspects and put out a few fires for us (that we didn't even know started!). Above all, what sets Eleven Courses apart is that they CARE about the people they serve. They wanted us to have an amazing night and did whatever they could to make it happen. THANK YOU Eleven Courses. If you are thinking about hiring this professional and outstanding team, don't wait. You won't regret it.
