I ordered catering from Fork It Foods for my husband's retirement reception, and overall I was very…read morepleased with the experience. While the additional fees made the total cost a little higher than I had originally budgeted, I felt the food itself was reasonably priced and well worth it. The food was delicious, and all of our guests were very happy with it. Several guests even asked where I had ordered the food from, which says a lot about how much they enjoyed it. The employees were professional, delivering the food on time and setting everything up beautifully. The presentation was elegant and added a special touch to the event. Overall, I would recommend this catering company for special occasions. The quality of the food, excellent service, and attractive setup helped make my husband's reception a memorable celebration.

I've been here for multiple events and always have a great time. This year, I decided to take my…read moremom to their Mother's Day event, Blooms, & Bubbles. It was a little confusing at first, since when we walked in, there were tables throughout the room. We weren't sure if we were supposed to sit down at one and be served or if they were just random tables where you could sit anywhere you want it. However, once we got our bearings around the event, we had a great time. We started shopping the makers market, which didn't have a lot of vendors, but had enough of different things to make it interesting. Then we had charcuterie cups filled with crackers, nuts, chocolate, fruit, salami, and cheese. A bit overpriced for what they were but glad to have something snackie. We also had a flight of mimosas, and finished off the day by making a beautiful Bouquet of fresh flowers. They did have pancake vendor as well. I didn't try it since I wanted a savory snack. I wish the food choices were advertised better. It was a small sheet of paper on a table. I didn't even know that the 3 additional food options existed until someone told me where I had to go to find this piece of paper. Other than that, it was a great time had by all in my group.

Element's pieces made a statement, that had our whole family and friends in awe. I knew we had to have Elements Preserved pieces for the Wedding day as well. It is absolutely worth the effort to go in person and see the warehouse in its entirety. Beth's eye for detail and creative mind really is present in the beautiful space. The moments in her warehouse alongside my-then Fiance brought the most excitement and warmth when choosing which items to rent. Truly fine-tuning our aesthetic,our personality, our love story and finding items that reflected who we are. Throughout our wedding we had moments with each other where we could look over and see those pieces scattered through our cocktail hour and reception that made the biggest impact. I could not have imagined our wedding day without those gems form Elements Preserved. Thank you Beth for your guidance and passion. It would not have had that loving essence anchoring us. We thank you for your part in our journey!
