5 starsI can not say enough good things about this company. I interviewed several companies before being referred to Elite...and thank God I was! I had high expectations for my New Years Eve reception and was really worried that a Dayton company would not be able to provide me with everything I wanted. Elite Catering delivered! The food was amazing, the service professional and efficient, and the decor was stunning! I have been getting so many calls and emails about how wonderful everything was. Elite took care of my food, flowers (ceremony and reception), and ceremony coordination (not in a church) and worked with all my other vendors to make sure everything was flawless.

Although the set up and decoration Elite Catering provided was nice I was very disappointed that they ran ouf of chicken before 45 of our guests got to eat. I felt that they should have been more prepared and I think it was extremely unprofessional of them to not have a back up plan. I do not think I would use this catering company again due to that major problem.

DO NOT TRUST IN THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR BIG DAY!!! I trusted in this company for my big day and now I regret that decision! This company has grown too fast and they can not keep up with their growing business. The things that were promised to me on my big day were not done. The only thing good I can say about this company is the food that "was" at the wedding was good. There were a lot of items that the company promised (and we paid for) that were not at the wedding. The "presentation" of the food the company "pride's" themselves on was not carried out on my wedding day. My husband, mother, father and myself spent the first half of the reception finding things wrong with what the caterers were doing. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone! They have grown too big too fast. I was very disappointed in "Elite" catering.

Elite was great! They met with us according to our schedule, were very organized, and listened to our vision. They kept things running smoothly during our reception. The food was great and very reasonably priced. We had multiple comments on how good the food was. Every Elite employee that I encountered was pleasant and very helpful!

We were so impressed with Elite Catering on how flawless and unique they made our rehearsal dinner and reception. We've gotten non-stop compliments on the extraordinary job they did with the food and the decor. The centerpieces at both events were elegant and one of a kind. The food was absolutely amazing! Elite Catering also did all the decor at our ceremony and provided staff on site as an event manager. They made our day more perfect and worry-free than we could have imagined. From the beginning, they were able to work with our vision and our budget to make our special day a reality. They had so many creative ideas that helped us make our wedding unforgettable. I would definitely recommend Elite Catering to any bride-to-be!

Elite was great! They saw my vision and kept it the main concern. I started planning with them a year before my wedding and I chose them because they didn’t feel like “Dayton Ohio.” The presentation of the food was gorgeous and it tasted great too! There were a few things I specifically requested that were missed come wedding day but nothing worth sweating over. I wanted something totally different and they delivered. Emails can take some time to be replied and I had a flower meeting (because they also do flowers) with them too which was brushed under the rug and I never heard anything back from. That was a hour meeting wasted. But over all- great service, great food, pricey though, and super presentation.

I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful my experience with Elite Catering was. From the very first tasting, to the end of my wedding day, they were a joy to work with. Every person I have talked to since my wedding, has mentioned how delicious the food was. It was most definitely not your typical wedding food. Not only is it delicious, but the presentation is beautiful! I had seen pictures of previous events, but was completely blown away when I saw it for myself. Rene, Elizabeth, and Jen were all so helpful and I am now looking for an excuse to work with them again!

Elite Catering was easy to work with and delivered the results we had hoped for. They are one of the preferred caterers for our venue (Polen Farm in Kettering, OH) and that made it great, because they were familiar with the setting and everything went smoothly. They are EXCELLENT about responding to emails and they helped customize our menu to meet the vegetarian needs of myself and a few guests, plus found creative ways to work within my budget! The result was fantastic. People are still talking about the hot hors d'ouerves they served at cocktail hour! Definitely consider these as a more memorable alternative to the traditional cheese/veggie trays!

I had plated dinners and a full service bar at our reception. The reception venue had no kitchen, and it was winter...cold! Elite Catering was amazing. They had worked at this venue and the food turned out to be wonderful. I received tons of compliments. They worked with me the entire process. They reviewed details closer to the date to make sure we had it all covered and to go over the timeline of the event. I provided the liquor as my party was smaller, but they provided the barware and service. It was great. All of the people serving dinner were very professional. Everything was according to plan. The appetizer displays were incredible as well! I cannot say enough about how wonderful this vendor worked out. And the food....scrumptious!

we decided on a buffet for our dinner at the reception and were unsure how the food would taste as we had our taste test the food was prepared individually for each. The food turned out fabulous. I heard nothing but positive comments from my guests about the food. The Caterer cut my cake in a professional manner and got out of the cake the amount of individual slices they estimated. The attire of the servers and bartender was very nice and very well presented. They were very flexible as if we wanted to make a last minute change they were willing to accommodate our wishes. The presentation of the food was not your typical buffet set up and was very beautiful and matched our decor perfectly. I was also impressed that they were able to find a way to have a buffet served upstairs in the barn. All the other caterers that we spoke with had to serve the buffet on the lower lever causing an inconvenience. We were overall very pleased with the service we received.

Renee and her staff are wonderful! They not only prepared and plated beautiful food for our wedding but also helped decorate and organize the reception -- they were there for everything and anything we might need. They are truly a full service catering staff -- from the food to the dishes/silverware to displays (they wanted to know what flowers we were using as to incorporate them into their food presentation!) to even getting us the special tableclothes we so desired. I had so many people tell me it was the absolute best food (especially the summer salad) they had ever had at a wedding. And Renee was so easy to work with, as far as the planning and meeting in the months leading up to the wedding. We loved loved loved Elite catering and would recommmend them to anyone.

Renee and Elite Catering are amazing! Throughout the entire planning process, Renee was always avaliable to give her opinion and help make my wedding amazing. At the taste testing, she even brainstormed with us on ways to help us save money!!On our wedding day, the entire staff was wonderful! Everyone was super friendly and professional. The food was delicious and everything was set up so nicely!

One of things that I wanted to be great at my wedding was the food and Elite did not disappoint. The food was hot and delicious. The Chicken Cordon Bleu was mouth watering and everything tasted homemade. They were very professional throughout the entire process and the presentation of the food at the wedding was beautiful.
