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.

Chef Lemaire has featured on several TV shows: he was the host chef of the “Taste of Haiti” episode of the "Luda Can't Cook" series on Discovery+ with award winning rapper, actor, restauranteur Chris "Ludacris" Bridges. He is also a contestant of the Food Network's hit series, Fire Masters, Cutthroat Kitchen, and Chopped.

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!!
