Report
We hired Elite Catering for a backyard bbq and were very disappointed with not only the quality of the food but with the lack of professionalism from the team they scheduled to work our event. They showed up 40 minutes late, guests were already arriving and nothing had been set up. Once the food was served, which was awful, servers stood around and did not help with any clean up. Guests were cleaning up their own plates and garbage. Not the level of service we are accustomed to. I will never hire them again.

What an amazing experience! Elite Catering Company & Dining Services exceeds all expectations. From ideation through the execution of our event, Elite Catering was outstanding! I highly recommend Jennifer & her entire team. They are professional, they are detail-oriented, and they know what they are doing. Plus, the food was spectacular! Five stars is an understatement! What a great team!

Went to a close friends wedding and was absolutely appalled by the food quality at his wedding. The rice was similar to that of a precooked microwaveable rice packet you would buy at a grocery store. The meat tasted like it came out of a can and the food in general had no flavor at all. And to top it off, it was all cold to the bite. Only food the majority of us enjoyed were the cheese and crackers they served before dinner.

From start to finish Elite Catering exceeded our expectations. We had our wedding in the Belle Isle Casino on 12/15/18 and Paul helped us arrange not only the appetizers, dinner and bar but also the linen services as well. Everything went fabulous, our guests all raved about the food, the service from the staff and the professionalism exhibited by all parties involved. I would highly recommend Elite Catering for your event, especially in a venue like the Belle Isle Casino where Paul's knowledge of the facility led to a memorable and great night for us and our 180 guests.

2 stars only because of Paul. We hired Elite caterings through Marygroove college for our wedding. We had a tasting couple of weeks before the wedding but the actual wedding food was nothing like the tasting. I mean it was horrific and didn't have any taste or flavor to it. Didn't expect it to be so bad but it was definitely not something you'd expect after paying thousands of dollars for it. Paul was very accommodating and easy to work with. But I'm not so sure about the quality of food
