Event Elements made our party great. Kathy was so easy and calming to work with. We just knew we were in good hands. Our guests RAVED about the food and the quantity was more than enough for our group of 50-60 folks. They served and prepped like a well oiled machine and in a way that made guests want to watch for awhile and be the first to get at each yummy delight. We were thrilled to have found Kathy Paradise. Her name says it all.

The most important things to me in having this catered dinner for a very special person as well as very special guests were 1. Appeal and and tastiness of the food; 2. How the guest of honor and others were treated; 3. Smoothness of the evening's flow; 4. Communication between caterer and me from start to finish; 5. How cleanup was handled. All were Excellent. This is a first-class act! So glad we found Event Elements.

Kathy and team (Shimi + Geo) were absolutely phenomenal. I booked Kathy via thumbtack (having never used the forum before). She was extremely responsive and offered an array of menu items. I wanted to elevate my sister’s large bachelorette party (22 attendees) and Kathy was the perfect addition to our weekend. Kathy + team were on time, personable, and the food was out of this world. I live on Restaurant Row in Chicago and have experienced meals at some of the best restaurants around the world—very spoiled when it comes to dining. Kathy brought this same experience and quality to the comfort of our own kitchen. Highly, highly recommend and look forward to bringing Kathy back for more special occasions during our stays in FL.
