Elegant Touch Catering was perhaps the best decision we made for our wedding day!! My husband and I were married on July 6th, 2024 at an outdoor venue. Kim and Deb were able to help us navigate switching our caterer just a few weeks before our big day. As you can imagine, this was a stressor for me and my husband. However, Kim and Deb's professionalism, eagerness to help and guidance made this transition not only smooth but enjoyable. I am truly thankful we were able to have them apart of our special day! The food was outstanding, delicious and memorable. We still have guests talking about our appetizers and dinner spread to this day. We've even had multiple family members ask us to send over Elegant Touch contact information so they can look into using them at their next event. Thank you Kim and Deb for a wonderful experience! read more

I've seen their work. I've tasted their work. But, when I contacted them about catering an event for 100 people this coming January, I was greeted by an email that put me off a few days, which I get, I'm not always in my office, I understand. I reached back out after a couple weeks, both via telephone call and an email, got no response. Which is to bad because their menu is beyond comprehensive and amazing. So, in the end we went with another caterer who answers emails and messages. read more

My fiance and I hired Elegant Touch to cater our wedding and they did a fabulous job. The meal was tasty and beautifully presented (we opted for a big cheese and crudite board and passed apps during cocktail hour followed by delicious salmon, salad, and their popular marinated flank steak for dinner). The dessert was a particular highlight -- a sumptuous spread of amazing fruit pies, several types of cookies, flourless chocolate cake and more. Additionally, we were able to work with their team to upgrade our wine selection and serve some of our favorite natural wines, along with a high end champagne. A big thank you to Chef Kim, Deb and Kathy for putting together a delicious and memorable meal for our special day! read more

What "delicious" professionals! From the wedding menu planning and first tasting to the final dining experience, Elegant Touch was attentive, engaging, patient, and hit the mark in all respects. Taking advantage of the seasonal produce--peaches in particular!--found their way into the multi-course menu; the dessert table was abundantly amazing, so much so, that we took home the remaining pies--no way could they be left behind! Particular shout-outs to Kim, Debbie and Kathy, but truly, their entire team, for their focused efforts to making our daughter's wedding so wonderful! We highly recommend them for ANY celebration! read more

Hiring Elegant Touch was the worst decision I made as a bride. My husband and I are supposed to be enjoying life as newlyweds. Instead, we are dealing with phone calls, texts, and emails from wedding guests and vendors who did not get to eat at our wedding because of the services they failed to provide. 1) They ran out of food at both stations and did not serve any of the vendor meals we paid for. Wedding guests and vendors had to heat up leftover lasagna from our rehearsal dinner because Elegant Touch ran out of food. 2) The food they served was drastically different than what we were served at our initial tasting. Instead of scallop ceviche, they served some kind of raw tuna mush with avocado. The duck buns they served was hard as a rock (both the meat and the bun). My mother in law went into the chef tent to complain and was told a new tray would come out. The tray never came. 3) They were rude, and defensive during the entire wedding planning process. After the wedding when we approached them with our complaints, they played the blame game...pointing fingers at our wedding planner, the venue and anyone else they could. They also tried to tell us they "donated" our leftover wedding food to a local church group. I would love to know the name of the group because they were probably served better food than the guests at our wedding. 1 star is generous for the amount of pain this catering service caused us. I'm including my phone number here for anyone who wants to contact me before hiring Elegant Touch. Cell: 714-757-9449 read more

Elegant Touch catered our daughters wedding at our home a second time. We had them Cater our other daughters wedding in 2012. I am so grateful to Deb, Kim and the staff for doing such an awesome job. The food was great, the set up was beautiful and practical and they were so warm and cordial yet very professional. (Also Thanks guys for accommodating to our Dietary restrictions too).I would definitely call them again if an occasion arises. Thanks again read more

I hesitate to review my wedding caterer because it seems like the service would be so personal and involved for each customer, versus a store or restaurant where they are pumping out the same thing all day long, but I feel it is appropriate to offer my endorsement. Elegant Touch catered my wedding reception, and they were a class act. From the first time we contacted Deb and were given a sample menu (which we ended up using because it looked so good) to the actual day of the reception itself, they were nothing but helpful, kind, and professional. The food was delicious, everything was where it should be on time, and they handled us and our guests with care. We even had a couple of curveballs in the form of 50 bottles of Jones Soda and 30 lbs of candy for a candy bar, and they put all of that together perfectly. read more

The owners, Kim and Deb, are very particular about how they like things to work. They seem to operate kind of like your wedding planner. The guests of our wedding said that they were happy with the food. I thought for what we paid, that the food was not up to my standards (Dull colors, over seasoned, minimal displays). We made one special requests, light salt, due to dietary needs. We were assured that they would be light on the salt. There were many dished that were almost inedible due to the salt content. My groom and I were advised that a member of the staff would be attending to us throughout the event, we were introduced to a member of the staff at the beginning of the event and that was the last time we saw her for the whole night. We paid a separate charge so that the children could have a different menu (chicken fingers and fries). The kids were not served chicken fingers or fries. read more

This is the most unprofessional place that I have ever delt with, ever!!' We used elegant touch for our wedding on lake George this past July... The staff was incredibly rude and unprofessional! My guests who ordered prime rib were served chicken! When my guests said they had received the wrong dish they were given attitude and told there was no more prime rib!!! Which is impossible especially when the whole wait staff was in the back eating the prime rib that was meant for my guest! When my wedding planner told them they needed to give my guest the prime rib, the waitress brought it to my guest and basically threw there plates in front of them!!!! We had Italian meats and cheeses as some if our hors de vours and the cheese was not even cut nor were there any utensils to cut it with... There were no napkins or plates provided for the hors de vours either! Not only this, if you think they will caterer to the bride and groom your wrong... In fact husband and I didn't even get a chance to taste anything except a meatball!! (We were taking pics) They didn't even set some aside for us to eat later!! It seemed to be a big deal when we asked them to bring us a drink! At the end of the night they didn't leave any thing for any of my guest to drink not even water! So for two hours my guest were thirsty ( very hot in July) not to mention we paid for these drinks and watched them pack them up! they didn't clean anything at all!!! After everything was over my husband and I had to clean up after our own wedding!!' Nice to know when you get married in a castle and pay top dollar for a caterer you have to do their job at the end of the night! To top this all off my guests heard the waitstaff call our family white trash!!! I'm sure white trash get married in a castle all the time!! This is the worse place ever I wouldn't recommend it to my worse enemy! Let me say one good thing, the food tasted good and that is all!!' So if you want to deal with one big attitude all night and the wait staff eating the food you paid for your guest to have, I suggest this place!! Absolutely horrible! read more

Elegant Touch Catering Co - a bride and groom - Caterers Near Me - Altamont, New York

Elegant Touch catered our wedding down in Connecticut in 1997. They used to have a restaurant and that is how we became familiar with them. We were frequent diners with them and never thought they would want to travel so far to cater but we asked anyhow and were very pleased when they accepted the challenge of traveling some 2 hours away! On the day of the wedding and prior to the start of the service, they still hadn't arrived! Ugh! Then came a phone call indicating they had gotten lost. Remember this was before GPS navigation was prevalent. I went into the ceremony, not knowing if we would be having food available afterward! During the ceremony, they arrived and must have kicked it into high gear in order to be ready for the reception. I don't know how they did it! You would not have known that any kind of wrench had been thrown into the plan. The food and service was excellent! I would highly recommend them! read more
