My daughter's wedding was amazing. Elite provided excellent food, service, vendor recommendations, and Zabrina! Zabrina brought everything together and gave us so much personal attention...couldn't have done it without her! She is a wealth of knowledge and was happy to share it with us. I can't thank her and Elite Catering enough for helping us to make such happy memories.

First I would like to give credit where credit is due. The venue was absolutely stunning. Everything came perfectly together and all our guests were wowed by the space. Second, the food tasted amazing and was cooked perfectly.
Unfortunately, where my overall impression of the venue truly declined was in the level of service we received on the day of our event.
To begin, we were assured that a security guard would be on-site to allow us early access so we could drop off décor items. However, when we arrived, no one was present to let us in, which caused a delay and set us back from our original timeline.
We were also told that staff would be available to assist with setting up the table linens and napkins, yet no one was present to fulfill that commitment. This left our decorator to handle the setup alone, which was both unexpected and disappointing.
During dinner service, several tables had still not received their meals nearly 60 minutes after service began. When I approached the manager on duty for clarification, I was met with the response, “We’re passing them out in numerical order, honey.” Not only was this response unprofessional, but as hosts, we found it extremely embarrassing to have to continuously reassure our guests that their meals were still coming.
Additionally, we were promised that the wedding cake would be professionally cut and served to guests. This, too, did not occur. After the bride and groom performed the ceremonial cake cutting, the cake was left unattended, and guests were forced to serve themselves—again putting us in an awkward and disappointing situation.
We paid over $3,000 in service fees with the expectation of receiving professional, organized, and attentive service. Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of that standard.
Additionally, when the linens and napkins were returned to us after the event, they still had food wrapped inside them. While we fully understood that it was our responsibility to wash them, the least that could have been done was to remove the leftover food before returning them. Unfortunately, because the food was left sitting in the boxes for several days until we were able to pick them up, there were bugs and ants present when we opened them. This was both unpleasant and unsanitary, and it reflects a disappointing lack of attention to basic cleanliness and professionalism.
Overall, it’s extremely disheartening that such issues occurred after what was meant to be a special and memorable occasion.

Elite catering was amazing! Everything from communication down to the food was just excellent! Zabina was truly wonderful and was very quick to answer any questions I had! 10000% recommend for any wedding whose bride and groom are foodies! 🥰😍❤️

Our guests said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had! They also prepared a kids buffet that was a huge hit, as well as special meals for our adult picky eaters and those with dietary requirements. Highly recommend.

Elite Catering was my preferred caterer and Zabrina our coordinator for my wedding 8/2/25. Zabrina did a magnificent job facilitating our catering and filtering through my many questions and requests. Elite also did a wonderful accommodating multiple guests with dietary restrictions. We had many comments about how good the food and the service was. A great business and group of people to work with!

Always a pleasure to work with Elite Catering! I own Timeless Dream Events, so when my couples come to me and ask for good quality food, I send them to Elite as one of their choices! I most recently worked with Elite back in July on a 1920s themed vow renewal and the day was perfect! Thank you to the team! Appreciate the hard work and dedication and superb food!
Alexa Keller
Great food and highly recommend working with Emerie! To be honest the first few months working with Elite was pretty frustrating and disorganized, but once we switched to working with Emerie things went very smoothly! She was easy to work with and made sure things turned out wonderfully on our wedding day. We did a plated dinner and our short rib with risotto looked and tasted great!

Elite Catering was the preferred caterer for our venue and they did a fantastic job with our wedding reception. Zabrina was the absolute best and was so easy to work with. She was very prompt with her responses and was helpful with suggestions throughout the planning process. I would recommend her as the Event Director in a heartbeat. The food Elite provided was really good and all of our guests really enjoyed everything. The staff who worked the reception were personable, very professional and provided great service. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Elite for future events!

WOW!!! Elite Catering and Team did just an amazing job with my wedding, family and friends are still talking about it. The food was out of this world! Service was OUTSTANDING! Working with this team for 14 months planning our wedding has been a breeze. Thank you Molly, Ariell, Rachel and the entire staff for making this such an amazing experience. My husband and I could not be more thankful for you!!

Elite Catering did a fantastic job catering my wedding reception on July 19, 2025 at The Estate at Sunset Farms. Emerie was amazing to work with! She was so professional, hard working, flexible and accommodating. Emerie had excellent communication throughout my wedding planning and worked so hard at my wedding. The Elite Catering staff helped me effortlessly plan delicious appetizers, dinner and dessert for my wedding. The guests raved about how tasty the food was, especially the grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters and the flaming donut bar. I highly recommend using Elite Catering for your wedding or any future events.
We used Elite for our wedding at the Steamplant. We had a great experience working with Emerie and received a lot of positive feedback from our guests about the food! Elite has a lot of options, so you can personalize your menu and your event. Our guests especially loved our appetizers, dessert table, and pretzel wall. Our entrees were also delicious and filling and came out in a timely manner. Elite is a great choice for your special event or wedding day!

5 stars to Julia Parsons, event director!! I had the pleasure of coordinating a wedding (I own CG Event Planning) with Julia from Elite on 6/21. She was amazing, the communication and organization skills made the entire event so easy. As a coordinator I was hired on behalf of the bride, so we both were communicating with Julia separately and together. The bride and I could not stop raving about how great Elite was. The staff were all so professional and so sweet. Julia had a great handle on the event, she spoke to the staff so kindly. She had great communication and our night went perfect. I hope to work with her again for an Elite event!

Emerie Elkins and her Elite catering team were great to work with. Emerie was so helpful. She answered so many questions and was available whenever we needed her. We received so many compliments about the wedding & reception. The food was great!! Highly recommend!

Elite provided catering for my wedding in May at The Steam Plant, and they were fantastic! Zabrina was so helpful during the whole process of selecting our meals, and even provided tips on how to get the most bang for our buck on the linens and other table accessories. The food the day of our wedding was delicious and the staff was so friendly! The catering team even made sure my husband and I were able to try the appetizers during cocktail hour. I would highly recommend Elite for your next event!

Elite Catering did what they came to do. They served, delivered, and slayed so hard! In other words, our event director, Julia, was incredible to work with. She is so personable, detailed, and puts quite a bit of consideration into making the wedding day one to remember. She really made my husband and I feel seen, special and loved. Not only was Julia a delight to work with, but the food actually lives up to the name — it truly is elite. I will be thinking about the gouda mac ‘n cheese for a long time. I’d only like to be married once, but if I had to do it over again, I would pick Julia and Elite Catering every time!!!
