Our main concern for catering was service. We wanted no one to be waiting on anything, and things to feel seamless. Oddly, we started the conversation with Elite Events Catering saying we’ve never had good wedding food, so the food wasn’t our primary concern; we cared most about service. They assured us the service would be excellent, but the food would be as well, and it certainly was.

Their team was incredibly helpful during the selection, planning, and execution. Everything was delicious; it felt like an incredible dinner at a highly rated restaurant, and they pulled it off in an art museum. They were very helpful and creative when working with us to come up with fun passed apps for cocktail hour that played off our favorite foods.

Elite Events Catering consistently outperformed expectations across the board. They were there for us from walk-throughs to rentals, and honestly, just to pick their brain for ideas.

Our wedding menu inspiration was really to be something everyone could eat, regardless of dietary restrictions. Being the big foodies we are, we wanted delicious food, served hot. The live-action options were a hit. We had a carving station, a pasta station, and even a Rainbow Caesar salad! But most importantly, we ended the night with a banana flambe.

We hired Elite Events Catering for the initial connection we had with Melissa Misgen and her team. The moment we walked in for our tasting, we were treated like royalty, with a glass of wine to pair with each dish, and we got to know Melissa and her husband and how they started their business. We had a personal chef who tailored her menu to our preferences. It was a very personable experience, and the food was outstandingly delicious.

I wanted something that everyone would love and that was traditional. My favorite was the mushroom tortellini.

I hired Elite Events Catering because I loved the food we tried during our tasting. They were flexible with items we wanted and could make changes where I wanted them. Their staff was attentive and polite. The food was great. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

We loved partnering with Elite Events Catering because Melissa Misgen spent time with us on the phone learning about our favorite dishes and creating a custom menu within our price point. We bounced ideas off each other, and she didn’t miss a single detail. She took so many notes, and she went so above and beyond by our first tasting that we immediately felt relieved and knew our guests would be blown away.

Melissa thought of dishes that spoke to our roots and where we’re from but also used local ingredients native to Florida that our guests would love to try. Our favorite dish was our Spicy Florida Yucatan Shrimp pasta. Everyone at our wedding was passing this dish around so even the guests who didn’t select this item got to try it!

I had heard from numerous sources that Elite Events Catering always overdelivered and had amazing food. It was an easy choice to select them as our vendor, but what absolutely blew us away was the perfectionism, level of detail, and expertise that this team can deliver for a wedding of nearly 100 people, all while having the best attitudes and biggest smiles on their faces.

This is a family business, and I felt the love they put into our menu and couldn’t recommend them more.

Catering was really important, and I wanted the food to be more than just sustenance. I wanted it to be an experience that contributed to the night’s essence. We chose to move away from the traditional approach and make it more interactive, so we opted for stations rather than a plated or buffet meal. It allowed guests to move around and choose from different options.

I came to Elite Events Catering with some pretty crazy ideas! From our very first meeting, Terri listened to my ideas and helped me execute exactly what I envisioned. We came up with creative hors d’oeuvres like custom pizza boxes representing my time in NYC, Pittsburgh-themed pierogies, and cigar spring rolls with burnt edges served in cigar boxes. I felt completely at ease knowing Elite Events would handle everything from start to finish. They are extremely professional and polite and felt like family by the end.

We wanted a caterer that didn’t offer just the typical wedding food and where we could customize our meal choices. We had some guests with dietary restrictions, and we wanted to be able to have meal options that were vegan and gluten-free, for example.

We did a tasting with Elite Events Catering, and we fell in love with the food and the owner, Melissa. She was super helpful and was able to customize everything exactly how we wanted. Our guests loved the food on the wedding day.

We looked for a caterer that had a variety of foods we wanted to have at our wedding.

Elite Events Catering‘s service and food were amazing, and we chose them because the food was amazing and the pricing was great!

“Our team at Elite Events Catering has become like a family and working together with them is just amazing! We didn’t have much of a choice when it came to choosing because the whole team insisted on being apart of creating and executing our wedding. Choosing our wedding menu wasn’t easy at the beginning, and the menu went through many, many revisions. Of course, we wanted to show off a bit, but at the end of the day, we went with a more simplistic approach. We had a lot of fun creating a menu that was relatable and comforting while still having fun with presenting it in a creative way.”

“We wanted food stations that would offer variety, but also provide everyone with something they liked. We ended up doing three different sliders, tacos, and a big salad buffet! It was such a spread. Working with Elite Events Catering was amazing! We wanted a specific menu, and they told us from the beginning they would make it happen! Melissa was always on time, and truly went above and beyond to make Tyler and I feel special. We were more than pleased with the service and food, and it made everything even more special that the ingredients that they used are local and farm to table!”

“I was so overwhelmed with all the choices of food and places I could choose from. I knew I wanted chicken while my husband was all for beef. Elite Events Catering was like a one-stop-shop! I loved it. The company was amazing with both their services and food. I received so many compliments on the food from my guests.”

We are both foodies so we knew we wanted a lot of yummy food with Florida and Caribbean flare and a steakhouse menu vibe. We struggled to decide between buffet and plated, but ultimately decided on plated to have some planned sit-down time. We had shrimp cocktails and Cuban-style pork appetizers passed, along with a beautiful cheese and charcuterie display with all the accouterments anyone’s heart could desire. We love the wedge salad from Ulele so our caterer replicated that. For the main dinner, we gave our guests a choice of mahi or filet and even a filet Oscar-style upgrade option. We love the Florida Keys so for dessert we had key lime pie shooters. We also had mini ice cream cones because that’s basically a must-have on a warm Florida night.

We looked for reasonable pricing, the ability to completely customize our menu, and all-inclusive services such as bar service and linens, plates, cutlery rentals, etc. Elite Events Catering was amazing, and I highly recommend them! It is a husband and wife and woman-owned business. We had an initial tasting and the food was so good. They were very communicative throughout the whole process and were always very accommodating with our change requests to the menu, including some last-minute additions. Alex was adamant about having a Ulele-inspired wedge salad so the owner Melissa even went to Ulele and tried the salad to get her inspiration. She and her husband were such a joy to work with. They delivered everything we discussed!

We looked for a caterer who could create a menu that reflected our culture. My mother is Colombian, my dad is Jamaican/Chinese, and the groom is Italian/Venezuelan, so this was no easy task.

Elite Events Catering was recommended by our good friends, whose wedding we had attended prior. We loved all the food we tasted at their wedding, and they were at the top of our list of most wanted vendors while planning our own wedding. Our wedding menu inspiration was to incorporate as much of our culture as we could into the food. Some of the food highlights were the mini Jamaican jerk tacos and the late-night tequeños! Elite also amazed us with how delicious all of the food came out. They perfectly drafted up menus based on our cultures, prepared all the food amazingly, and had great bar servers that made such delicious signature cocktails.

We are both big foodies, so we wanted to ensure our caterer could not only meet our expectations but exceed our goals! It was important that our caterer could capture Caribbean flavors and provide our guests with a meal that embodied a home-cooked family meal full of flavor and heat.

Elite Events Catering captured our admiration and attention from our first interaction. Their attention to detail, customer service, and professionalism made our experience with them truly extraordinary. After our tasting, there were a few things we wanted to change before the wedding day. Melissa and her team made it possible for us to have a second tasting of our final menu, this was so special to us. Our menu highlighted Caribbean flavors with food such as crab empanadas, maduros (fried plantains), coconut rice, and jerk chicken thighs.
