We had arranged for a catered funeral meal of Turkey and roast beef. The food was good and the servers were professional. We had a major problem getting information about the total price until 2 days before the service. Elaine was always busy and promised to call back. I felt as if there was some deceit there, as our cost per person was almost doubled. We could afford the meals but in such a stressful time I feel that most people would need more guidance and be given more information about all of the prices. The web site price is incorrect.

Trash food. Sent my friend to the hospital. Wouldn’t eat if I was lost at sea with Tom Hanks.

Would not recommend. Food was not seasoned well. Breaded chicken was dry. Best foods at our party were made by us rather than catered. Automatic gratuity applied to total. This was not disclosed until the final conversation, the day before the party. Additionally, I had to call to confirm all details. As someone who formerly owned my own business, I would always call to confirm with clients (not the other way around). No follow-up call to inquire how food and services were. Pass on this one.

Elaine was very pleasant and made my decision to hire her as my caterer very easy. I noticed her and her staff at another wedding and was very pleased and their professionalism. And knew I had to talk to the owner to interview her for my wedding

After paying over $3200/50 people for catering for a post funeral luncheon, our family was very underwhelmed by Elaine‘s catering. Most of the food was store bought. The chicken noodle soup had no chicken in it, the food was flavorless, very bland. We were quoted $12 on table cloths that were purchased by us for under $1. Overall we feel we were cheated by this company. If you do use Elaine‘s catering get an itemized list before you pay her. I would also recommend you get samples of the food before you order it.

Great food, right on time and generous portioning. Excellent experience all around.

I hired Elaines catering for my wedding and from the beginning it was wonderful. She took heavy notes during our 1st few meetings and gave me everything I could have hoped for with my menu for the reception for 90 people. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has food needs!!!

I had Elaine cater a celebration of life memorial for my granddaughter.I found Elaine very easy to work with, she was very responsive to my needs. She provided guidance and suggestions for menu.Her staff showed up on time and was very considerate to the fact that the service had run longer than planned. Kyle was very professional and set food out quickly.The guest raved about everything. We had turkey and ham wraps, barbecued chicken with slider buns. Broccoli salad, potatoe salad and mac and cheese for sides. Along with cheese and cracker tray, fruit tray and vegetable tray. We had a assorted dessert tray. Lemonade and tea for beverages. The crowning gem was the cake!Many of my guest were very familiar with the bakery and they loved the cake. She supplied all needed condiments and paper ware.With all sincerity I highly recommend you contact Elaine’s Catering, Lebanon, PA. for all your catering needs!Thank you Elaine.Velda Brewer
