I thought a lot about whether or not I was going to write a review about my experience with Elite, and I finally decided I should, because if I had known what was going to happen, I would have chosen another caterer.
I had contacted other caterers, and Elite seemed so professional and thorough that I thought they were the best option. We spent a long time going over the menu and deciding what we wanted, on top of spending a lot of money for dinner/appetizers/bar. My husband and I are both vegetarians, and we were really concerned about having a vegetarian meal that was going to be filling and enjoyable for everyone. Elite assured us that this wasn't going to be a problem, and finally we decided on a goat cheese roulade that was delicious. On the day of our wedding, the food that arrived was not at all what we had purchased, and I was mortified. Instead of a goat cheese roulade, they served some kind of soggy eggplant that I would have been embarrassed to serve (and I was embarrassed that everyone thought I would have chosen that!) as well as serving hard, mixed vegetables when we had ordered something totally different. I had to walk out of the dining room at one point because I was so disappointed and was about to start crying. The buffet they had set up was just a mess! My mom and I, as well as our wedding planner, had spent an entire year planning this once in a lifetime event. We were so careful with every detail, and Elite nearly ruined that with their carelessness. I would have gone with someone else easily, because Elite is not the only show in town. I wasn't going to write a review, but six months after the wedding I still look back on my wedding day and think "it was a lot of fun, but the food was terrible and embarrassing!". We ended up getting half of our money back, but that won't make up for the awful meal and mortifying experience. Elite needs to take their role more seriously, and realize that people put a lot of effort into planning their weddings, and they need to take better notes! read more
