Elite eventscatered a bridal shower at my home. They were responsive, professional, and most importantly the food was delicious! We had heavy hors d'oeuvres as guests arrived then sit down dinner. All guests raved about the food. Elite even catered to very strict dietary needs. Definitely book them for your event!

Elite Events: (Cons) Strawberry cake could have been moist (didn't care for the cornbread texture), but it had a great taste and Salmon Scampi could have used more seasoning(flavor) on the noodles, but it was good. (Pros) Shrimp Mango Skewers, Caesar Salad, Herb Roasted Chicken, and Shrimp Risotto was very TASTY!! Especially, the Shrimp Risotto (BANGING)!! Elite Events team came out to prepare birthday meal and the guys were very friendly and professional. Once they arrived they went straight to work. Everything was plated beautifully and neatly as you can see down below in the photos. The price for the food was affordable, which was a plus for me! And overall the food was good and we enjoyed it. I plan on using Elite Events in the near future and will be recommending them! Thank you Elite Events for making my birthday dinner AWESOME! :)

EE prepares and delivers delicious meals!! AND they will come through for you in a pinch. I had a big event yesterday and needed 2 different caterers for lunch and dinner. I initially hired EE for lunch and Chipotle Catering for dinner. Well, 2 hours before I was due to serve dinner, Chipotle calls me to tell me they are canceling my order due to not having enough food. 😰😱😱 It was last minute, but I decided to see if EE was able to turn around another meal for us, and he AGREED! Not only that, but he showed up in a timely manner and every last dish was perfectly delicious. All of our guests loved it! From beginning to end, I was thoroughly impressed with Elite Events and will not hesitate to use them again for all of our catering needs in Matthews. Thank you again for coming through for us. You guys are the BEST!!
Details: Corporate event • Lunch • Barbecue • Family style • No, drop off only • Religious or spiritual space • No kitchen • Fewer than 20 guests • Standard (basic ingredients)

What a great experience! We were celebrating my wife's birthday, and Esco and his team made sure everything was perfect. Starting with scallops, crab cakes, and chicken waffles, through the Salmon and Pork tenderloin with Okra and Potatoes, and finishing with the Chocolate Mousse, we were treated to a real culinary show. I wanted to surprise her and she loved it!
I cannot recommend Elite Events more highly. Will work with them again!! If you're reading this, you should too!!

I recently hired the team at Elite Catering to provide food for my baby shower. They were able to accommodate me on fairly short notice. Chef Esco simplified everything & made picking out an ideal menu a breeze. It was truly a seamless process. Chef Terry communicated everything I needed to know for the day of my event. He was prompt. Most of all, the food was delicious. Every dish was enjoyable. I would definitely book the Elite Events team again without hesitation.
