I reached out to Amy while looking for a caterer to plan my wedding. She exceeded my expectations - she was personable, knowledgeable, and easy to get in touch with. She was able to offer various options to accommodate my budget, which made the process seamless. It’s been two months since my wedding and people are still calling me to tell me how delicious the hors d’oeuvres and meals were (which you don’t often hear for a 200+ wedding). Celebrations was easily able to accommodate all dietary restrictions. I would highly recommend Celebrations for anyone planning a wedding or event. I will be using them again in the future! More...

Celebrations was amazing to work with! We worked with Amy leading up to the wedding and loved our tasting! The food at the wedding was outstanding, we chose to go with family style for dinner and it was absolutely perfect. We would give them 4 out of 5 stars and the ONLY reason for that was that both my husband and I and a few guests reported they didn't get many appetizers as I think coming out of the prep tent, the waiters didn't get through too many guests before all of the plates were eaten, but what we did try was so delicious! We would highly recommend them! More...

Amy was absolutely wonderful and accommodating while going through the process of picking a menu and finding a price that worked within our budget. Communication was consistent, food was absolutely amazing, and the staff was friendly and professional. Not a single complaint from us or our guests. Pulled pork and mac and cheese were heavenly, and you wouldn't think a simple side dish like corn would be something to talk about... but theirs is; perfectly seasoned and full of flavor! More...

When looking for wedding caterers, we started by reaching out to a bunch of vendors after researching on wedding websites. Only 2 responded quickly, and Celebrations stood out with a great menu and an incredibly detailed set of resources explaining all our options. The choice was pretty clear.

We opted for a family-style meal for our wedding, which we felt let the guests adjust portions to their own needs while not worrying about a buffet line affecting the timing. Amy was really easy to work with from the beginning and was responsive over email and phone. She set up a nice tasting for us where we got a chance to try different appetizer and main course options to help fine tune our menu, as well as look at linen and table setting choices. Amy also coordinated directly with our venue coordinator about their needs so we didn't really have to get too involved there.

My husband and I made it a point to really eat at our wedding. The food was too good not to! The appetizers were fun and unique, including mini chicken & waffles, bacon-wrapped dates, macaroni & cheese bites, and tomato soup shooters w/ grilled cheese bites. For our main course we had beef in a merlot sauce, grilled chicken piccata, rice pilaf, and grilled vegetables. Everyone was raving about the food!!!! We also opted to use their bartenders but purchased our own alcohol, and it worked out quite nicely as they still provided all the mixers, limes, napkins, cups, etc.

Trust me, wedding food doesn't have to be boring. We would definitely recommend Celebrations for your event.

Excellent - easy to do business with, dependable and honest. Great food, our party guests loved the food, delivered on time, set up and ready to enjoy.

From ordering to paying to delivery to set up and takeaway I was completely satisfied. Money well spent to celebrate my sons college graduation. The selections where great, the food was perfectly set up , instant buffet works for me, little to no effort on our part , worth every penny. If you are having a large gathering and want a great caterer you have to call these guys. Our guests loved the food , pulled pork , loaded mashed potatoes, fried chicken breast, Mac & cheese all amazingly good. Utensils , plates , napkins all included. Hands down great place to do business with. More...

I can not convey how much the celebrations team did to contribute to our wedding day! From the first time I spoke with Fred about basic logistics, I knew they were the best caterer for us and I was absolutely right!

Every single person I spoke with at the wedding said the food was incredible and was so impressed with the choices at cocktail hour and dinner, as well as the team that worked seamlessly throughout the day to pull everything together. From ensuring we had the best set up to putting out the cupcakes, running the bar, and clean up- everyone was pleasant and organized. The food was spectacular - perfectly cooked and an amazing variety. They were absolutely incredible to work with all around!

Their pricing was also fair and Fred worked with us to balance our budget with our vision - and succeeded!

We booked Celebrations for a 100 person wedding. Our venue allowed us to bring in our own alcohol, however Celebrations was very accommodating in providing bar staff. We made numerous changes to our package in the months running up to the wedding and Amy at Celebrations was always patient and helpful in adjusting pricing and talking us through our options. We got tons of compliments on the food and the service was seamless throughout the night. Would definitely recommend. More...

The reason my husband and I chose this particular caterer was due to the restrictions from the venue and although were much higher in price than we were hoping to spend they worked incredibly hard with us to help stay closer to our budget.

We loved this catering company! They provided dishes that allowed even our most restrictive guests to feel fulfilled.
We had our ceremony right where our reception would be and they set up quickly and were so unobtrusive. When it came time for serving they had everything set up and ready for folks to enjoy.
The food was amazing!! We gave them a fairly restrictive list as far as making sure dietary restrictions were met and they delivered easily. Folks with restrictions had one or two dishes they could enjoy and everyone else had the most delicious food!
(There was portions leftover so I was able to enjoy them for several days later)
The staff, food, and service were all fantastic and we were so happy to have hired them.
I plan on using them for my next large party as well.

We couldn't have been happier with Celebrations for our wedding catering. Fred and Becky were wonderful to work with and they worked so hard to find an option that fit our budget, plus made sure to work in BBQ for my husband. I could not believe how many people commented on how delicious the food was, from the passed apps to the buffet dinner to the late night snacks, everything was fantastic. I honestly didn't have high expectations because I'm usually very picky about catered food, but everything was high restaurant quality and we had plenty of options for our guests, including gluten free, lactose intolerant and vegan. PLUS they packed up all of the leftovers for us and we froze the brisket and pulled BBQ chicken and had several days worth of meals to come home to after our honeymoon! I would absolutely recommend Celebrations to any couple. More...

We loved Celebrations catering. First of all, they offer an array of menus.

We had "take home cookie boxes" for our guests and we found people stashing some of the actual food into the boxes later that night! So if that says anything- it was delicious! And the price was amazing. The service/servers were professional and great. I highly recommend Celebrations for anything you need! More...

The food was amazing and all the guests raved about it!! Amy was so helpful and detailed the entire process. We hired her for the “day of” coordinating, but she put in so much time and effort before the wedding day to make sure everything was perfect. We had multiple meetings and she was always in contact with me and answered my many questions. Each time I asked about something she always had a solution or great suggestion. I credit Amy and the staff for how smoothly the day went and how perfect it turned out. I cannot thank Amy enough for all that she did so that we could relax and enjoy the day.

After much research and deliberation, we decided to go with Eli's Catering for our backyard wedding of 180 people. From the start, they were easy to communicate with and just put me at ease in a way the other vendors we were communicating with did not. Choosing vendors who help alleviate your stress is huge. Becky helped me work thru all the small details, offering advice in a non- pushy and helpful way. We decided on a menu we loved- bbq chicken, sirloin steak, and added shrimp skewers. The shrimp skewers and sirloin were honestly some the best I've ever had. The day of, we felt so taken care of. It was the little things- the staff bringing us snacks unprompted during pictures, coming up to us to check in. They certainly made sure we were well fed and taken care of. The bartenders were great, laid back and fun, but professional. The feedback we've gotten from friends about the food is what really blew me away the most- I've had many people go out of their way to tell me some strong compliments. "It was the best wedding food I've ever had." "The food at your wedding was incredible." "I don't usually eat steak, but that sirloin might have been the best beef I've ever had!" etc, etc.
If you're driving yourself crazy with the many wedding decisions you have to make (as I did), I promise choosing Eli's Catering will be a great decision and you can rest assured that you and your guests are in good hands. Thank you thank you.

We used Celebrations to cater a back yard anniversary party using the "instant buffet" option listed on their website.  Interactions with Becky were great, she helped me come up with a wonderful menu that worked for our budget.  Food was dropped off and set up when they said it would be. And everything was picked up the next day, as they said it would.Everyone at the party had good things to say about the food.  We got the taco bar with chicken and carnitas with corn, rice, black beans, pasta salad and green salad, plus salsa, guac and chips.  The chicken was very good, the carnitas were to die for, definitely worth the up charge.  There were lots of left overs of the sides, not really any of the meats. We ended up with about 5 less people than we planned for.  So if I had any complaint it was that the proportions of 'main' to 'sides' was a bit off. But better too much than not enough.I will use them again, and would recommend them to others. More...

We were planning a small, intimate, wedding reception for 40 people and researched quite a few caterers before selecting Celebrations. Communication was fast and easy - they always responded to questions/calls/emails in a timely manner. We met Lisa to share our vision and let her know what we wanted for our special day. Food quality was our number one priority - our guests were 'foodies' and generally good cooks themselves. As it was a smaller party, we decided to splurge on the food. We picked out some options and Lisa promptly provided a quote. We revised the selections a few times and settled on a menu. Ours was more of a cocktail party with very heavy hors d'oeuvres. We also wanted an open bar and they provided the bartender and fixings, we bought alcohol/water/soda. We met Lisa and Fred for a tasting and they made some tiny bites for us to try. We offered a few suggestions based on the samples, which wasn't a problem and they adjusted the recipe accordingly (for example - make this item more spicy, more filling in this sandwich etc..). On the day of the event, they showed up and got everything set up and running by the time our guests arrived. Fred was there, manning the grill and making sure all of the food was perfectly cooked. The food was very good and everyone was well taken care of by their servers. The bartender was friendly and flawlessly executed our custom drink menu. Clean up was quick and easy. After the wedding I asked our guests for feedback and everyone had nothing but good things to say – and this wasn’t an easy crowd to please. Every dish was a hit – only wish I had a chance to eat more of their delicious offerings. Would not hesitate to use them again. The price was reasonable compared to other caterers and definitely worth the money. It can be a bit nerve-wracking selecting a caterer as you generally don’t have a chance to taste the food before putting down a big deposit. Rest assured, with Celebrations Catering, you’ll be in good hands on your special day. More...

One of the best decisions we made throughout the entire year and a half of planning our wedding was choosing Celebrations as our caterer for our wedding on 10/8/16.

Both Amy and Becky were enormously helpful throughout the entire process, working with me when I changed my mind here and there and communicating so efficiently with us.
