We were planning our wedding from states away which made some logistics difficult. We were not able to do our tasting before officially signing on with them, but our initial conversation with Shannon and looking through their sample menus were so in line with what we wanted, we felt confident in choosing them. Our decision was affirmed when we got to do our private tasting because WOW was the food and drink delicious! Even better, Shannon and the bar manager were so accommodating and provided such an incredible experience. Specifically, we cannot thank Shannon enough for being such a huge help in the planning process from that initial call to the final walk through. She answered countless questions, made several swaps, and remained so friendly throughout it all. Even when we were getting stressed, she was there to calm our nerves. The day of, everything came out so smoothly and our guests were so pleased with not only the delicious food and cocktails, but also the service.

      “Elegante Cuisine is one of the higher end catering companies in the area, so this was a splurge for us, but one that we do not regret. Good food and good music are two of the biggest factors in the guest experience, so it was worth it to us. Our tasting was awesome; their menu options are extensive but all the dishes seemed to be executed perfectly. They had catered at our venue many times, and seemed highly competent. During and since the wedding, many of our friends and family have raved to us that it was the best food they’ve had at a wedding. Our entrees were the chicken asiago and the stuffed peppers (sooo good!). On the wedding day, Elegante staff took great care of us, even making sure we had hot, full plates and an assortment of our cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres ready when we entered the reception space. We worked with Trisha, who at times did not respond very effectively or efficiently to our questions/concerns/requests, but overall we are very happy with the services we received and us and all the guests were certainly well fed.”
