Melissa is the best communicator, professional and so nice! They did our rehearsal dinner and wedding and not one single issue except all the questions I’m getting now about where the food was from :) their food is incredible!!!!! The bbq for rehearsal was the best I’ve had in my life (you MUST get the greens as a side) and the Italian for wedding was to die for. They even did a GF option for my mom. Use them as your caterer- you will not regret it!

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.

it is my pleasure to write a review for Laselle events, I'm completely satisfied with the presentation of the meal. 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!

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!!
