I cannot speak highly enough of Joan and the Elegant Affairs team. As someone who hosts events for clients and friends frequently, my standards are relatively high and they exceeded even my wildest expectations. The food was legitimately delicious (get the carrots, trust me!) and even more importantly, the service was impeccable. The team made everything run smoothly and I actually got to enjoy my wedding rather than stressing about details. If you are on the fence about a caterer / event planner, Elegant Affairs is the way to go.

I reached out to Elegant Affairs about 3 weeks before our wedding at the suggestion of our jeweler (they catered her wedding, and she had nothing but good things to say) for our small backyard wedding. I spoke with Stephanie following an online inquiry, and she was quick to call me to discuss the wedding. Following an initial proposal, she came out to survey the location and review our selections. Stephanie offered a variety of linen options.
The day of the wedding, the crew showed up on time and quickly met with me to talk layout and any requests I had. They were fantastic - the service and food were great (my mom said its the best wedding food she'd ever had), they took care of everything and made sure to remind me I wasn't working as an event planner that day (one of my previous jobs). I'd recommend them to anyone I knew who was looking for catering.

I recently used Elegant Affairs for my daughters sweet sixteen. Food was incredible. The planning process was easy and my daughter was thrilled. They left my home spotless. The staff went over and above. I loved their Lobster Rolls. The best I ever had.

I recently ordered an elegant Affairs surf & turf box. We entertain a lot at home and it is usually a lot of work for my wife and I. First the delivery people were exceptional. The box itself was impressive and the food was top quality. My guests were raving. 5 stars here.

My daughters wedding was canceled due to covid so we did a smaller wedding at my Southampton Home. It looked beautiful. Steph & Pete were amazing. Food was seriously top notch. They didnt miss a detail. I would recommend this company without thinking twice.
