We were planning a holiday gathering for family and friends when I learned about Lillian Judith…read moreCatering. Thank goodness!! Stephanie worked closely with us to determine the menu. Because our guests had a lot of food issues - gluten, nut and dairy it was a real challenge! Stephanie carefully curated a menu that hit all of our requirements. In addition, because we live out of town for most of the year, our decorations, holiday plates and whatnot were quite limited. Stephanie put my fears to rest by assuring me she'd take care of all the details. As the day of the party dawned, we had the place all cleaned up and ready. Stephanie and Mary arrived about an hour before the guests and set to work transforming our little place into a festive, inviting party spot. We had holiday cocktails and mocktails, delicious heavy appetizers and desserts that were out of this world. Stephanie literally thought of everything. All the food was labeled so our guests could choose foods that were best for their food sensitivities. At the end of the party they gathered everything up, helped set aside uneaten food for later consumption and left with very little for us to other than sweep the floor and fall into bed after a very fun and satisfying gathering of friends. Overall experience 5* Food 5* Decorations and ambience 5* Stress - zero

Hiring Aaren and her team was hands-down the best thing I ever did! I knew when I got engaged that…read moreI needed someone to help with the little details since I knew there would be a lot of them. I met with Aaren about a year before my wedding date and during our first meeting I really think we hit it off just right. I felt like I was talking to someone who truly "got me". I think Aaren knew that I was a Type-A (OCD) bride and she was able to calm my nerves. During our meeting she explained to me the different packages they offered. I knew I wanted a day before/day of person, but I also liked the idea of having someone help out during the month off for all of the other things. I wanted to do all the planning, but I needed someone to do the implementation. It was a done deal. I left that meeting and I knew I needed Aaren in my life! Soon after our first meeting I called her to confirm and sign a contract! It was a huge relief for me to know that I had Aaren. She made me feel at ease. Throughout the process I e-mailed her questions about etiquette and I kept her up-to-date with other vendors. I knew she was keeping a folder so whenever I had an update I would send it her way. I would like to think I wasn't a needy bride, but I know there were times when I started panicking for no reason. Aaren always calmed me down. By the week of my wedding I had a ton of items and decorations to drop off with her. I met her in her office and talked through my "vision" and provided her all the items she needed. She also had all my other vendor information and told me she would be in contact with them for the timeline of the event. I did not need to worry about anything! Honestly, it felt great to not have to worry about anything. I think I did a good job of just letting things go. Aaren and 2 assistants arrived for the rehearsal and had all the details confirmed for the next day. By the day of the wedding I was actually very "chill" since I knew Aaren and her team would make sure the ceremony and reception were set up correctly. She was my point person for the day and did an awesome job at handling all the day of things. By the time I made it to my reception the everything was set up just as I had hoped. Aaren really did listen to me and she made sure everything was just right. I knew I could trust her to get things done right. Again, as a type-A person it was hard to let go, but Aaren was the best person for me to trust. I didn't even worry about anything. There were a few minor issues that came up throughout the day, but with her help no one knew anything! It was flawless and my wedding was everything I had ever imagined it would be. Thanks to Aaren and her team for all of their help and assistance to help make my wedding day magical.

She was so kind, accommodating, and generous with us throughout the whole process! The evening turned out absolutely beautiful, the food was delicious, and every detail was orchestrated perfectly. The staff is amazing and everyone was so kind and helpful! We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we're so grateful for Laurie and her team! Highly recommend!

Friday night event and the caterer was Orlando's. So impressed with the food that I specifically…read moreasked the Servicing Teammember who they were with. Appetizers were already displayed on each table as a tiered centerpiece which was a creative idea due to covid. Our apps were a Crispy Buffalo Chicken ball, Potato Puff and a Pastry bite with cheese, spinach and sundries tomato. Oh my goodness all 3 of these were amazing! The pastry puff was my absolute favorite and I could have made my meal just the apps. Salad next, very tasty dressing. It seemed to be a creamy Italian and it wasn't too tart. Salad was just the right serving size. Meal.. chicken milanese, roasted garlic mashed potato and vegetables. The mash were seasoned to perfection and the chicken had the perfect amount of sauce. Food came out hot too, which was a pleasant surprise. Reason for the 4 instead of 5, the dessert fell short as it was waaaayyyy too sweet for my taste and with the tea there was no Equal or Splenda and the sugar available didn't dissolve. Lol. Otherwise, I definitely recommend this caterer!

Eek! Methinks not…read more Many brides prefer to not write a review rather than inform unsuspecting brides of a bad experience. To be honest, it is uncomfortable to write details about my experience; but to keep it short and to the point. Shannon just doesn't have what it takes to manage many moving parts. You can hire her to plan your kids birthday party, but by no means can she handle a wedding; and mine had under 150 guests. My other vendors had a hard time coordinating with her and appeared disgruntled towards her. understandably so. She might appear to write things down, but manages to confuse dates, times and specific requests. Hope this helps the next bride; Pay a little more and get a stress free day!

We recently used Elite Events for the 5th time in the span of one year. The number one thing I…read moreappreciate is their reliability. We never have to worry about them dropping the ball. They also have become our one stop shop for our events, in that they not only offer inflatables, but they offer chairs and tables, face painting, etc. We no longer have to work with multiple companies. Lastly, their staff is easy to work with and are accommodating. From the office staff (Kyle and Jade) to their lead guy on the field (John) to the many workers, face painters, set up crew, workers staffing the inflatables and other products, they excel in customer service. Thank you Elite so very much for making our events successful!

We had the unfortunate experience of using these people for a non profit fundraiser. The kids they…read morehad putting our (2) tents together were higher than a kite. And then when they finished, I took these photos to show the ownership the straps weren't even connected, and most of them were broken at that. To no surprise, one of the tents collapsed the day before our event during storms. They did not have parts or a replacement tent. Still charged is for both tents, and blamed us for the storm bringing the one down. Will go out of my way to keep people from dealing with these people. No way these reviews are real. Happy to provide photo evidence upon request.
