“The biggest rave of the day from our guests came from Lakeland BBQ! They did a massive grazing table for our cocktail hour (at my request and they delivered TENFOLD - it was almost gone by the time of the reception) and we did an Italian buffet for the reception. During the tasting, we absolutely loved loved loveddd their food and tried out all sorts of cuisines they offered. Melissa, the catering manager, was very nice and super helpful throughout the process! All of my guests loved the food and there was plenty of leftovers for our vendors (and us) to take home a few trays. I truly couldn’t be more grateful to have found Lakeland BBQ - they met all of our needs while staying within our budget. I cannot sing their praises enough; they’re a must!”

The meals were prepared with precision and displayed vibrant colors as well as delectable protein. I've experienced the Laselle events product on several occasions and I'm happy to say that the offerings are consistently excellent. The meals provided a party for my mouth :-). I'm certain that the meals were prepared and delivered fresh, and I could taste the difference in the quality of the dish and just when I thought they were done they delivered an elegant glutton free option for dessert to complete the evening. Hiring Laselle Events was the best thing I could have done, and my wife appreciated the meals as well. My friends are still talking about the meals. Well done Laselle Events!”

Her presentation & the esthetics were far beyond what we could imagine. My son is in his honeymoon in Jamaica & still asking is there any more chicken left. The bartenders were top notch as every adult was very pleased. Tiffany went well above & beyond recognizing that the young couple didn’t consider a few necessary things. She went from Chef, to wedding planning, checking off all things needed. Im definitely using her again for future events.”

“100 % recommend this company! I spoke with the owner about how I wanted to offer a pre-ceremony snack for my 130 guests when they arrived at the wedding venue. My ideas were meats and cheese, but with Covid I didn’t want a buffet where guests helped themselves and potentially touched someone else’s food. From that, the owner José came up with lots of creative solutions- he included me in every step of the process to ensure that I would be happy with the finished product. My guests raved about it! Beautiful presentation, high quality and delicious food. Jose is a true professional and takes pride in excellent customer service. I got married at Paradise Cove 6/2021.”

Welcome! Our focus when dining with Ez Eats is to deliver an unforgettable food experience. Everyone who dines with us is considered a guest, not a client. We bring the fun, a vibe, and most importantly, amazingly delicious food!

“From our first conversation with Eli at Ez Eats, we knew we had found our caterer. He was clear about what he could do, responded quickly to our questions, and stayed friendly throughout the whole process. What really impressed us was how he worked with our budget to create a meal that felt special without breaking the bank—something we were honestly surprised by. The food itself was incredible, from the plated rehearsal lunch with options for everyone to the buffet spread on our wedding day, and he even stepped away from the dinner and brought us (bride and groom) appetizers during photos so we didn't miss out. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was, and our photographer told us it was the best wedding food she'd ever had. Eli's talent, kindness, and willingness to accommodate our needs made our day feel seamless and special. We can't recommend Ez Eats highly enough.”

“Our wedding was planned in approximately 10 months and from the moment I sat down with Melissa at Dade City BBQ I knew it was the perfect choice for us. First, she was kind, always answered any and all questions we had, no matter how small they were. We met for a tasting (delish!) and fell in love with her even more. In addition, we tasted all the meats and sides for a BBQ buffet. We chose pulled pork, chicken quarters and added brisket. Our 3 sides were mac & cheese, collard greens and potato salad w/ cornbread. They were ALL delicious. Our guests raved about everything and especially the greens! We also opted for a grazing table for our guests. It was beautifully presented and absolutely beautiful and delicious. Our guests were in awe! She even made us our own plate because she knew we were busy talking with our guests. I would highly recommend this caterer! VERY FAIR prices, large portions and happy guests. I am 100% pleased. Thank you Melissa and your amazing staff!!”

She answers all inquiries in a timely fashion. Her menu is vast, so many delicious options to choose from! We did a tasting with her and everything was so good. It was hard to decide what we wanted to taste because she has so many options and during the tasting it was hard to pick what we wanted to serve at the wedding because everything tasted so good! Lastly, you will not find better prices than hers. She’s extremely competitive and you’re getting home cooked style meals for her prices. You’ll be pressed to find someone who has better prices, especially someone who makes food as good as hers. She has a talent and passion for her work and has been nothing but wonderful to work with.
