“We first discovered El Pampeano Steakhouse through a wedding decorator and were blown away by their catering for our wedding in November 2024. Seeing them now on Zola reminded us of the wonderful experience we had, and we wanted to leave our review. Everything was flawless: the food was delicious, the service attentive and professional, and Leo, the grill master, and his wife Lore were always on top of every detail.

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!”

“To start Mrs Tiffany & crew were asked at last minute to cater my son’s wedding. Literally 2 weeks prior. Throughout the short timing she kept in constant communication with the bride & us. 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.”
