We had a wonderful experience working with Simply Elegant for a special family event. From start to finish, the communication was clear, prompt, and thoughtful—something we truly appreciated throughout the planning process. Even though our group was small, the team made everything feel incredibly meaningful and memorable.

Jenn was absolutely amazing to work with. She transformed our parents’ home into a warm, elegant space with simple yet beautiful touches that captured the spirit of the evening perfectly. The food was superb—thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The chef clearly put care into every dish.

A special thank you to Raymond, who went above and beyond. He was so attentive, taking time to connect with each of us and ensuring every detail was taken care of. His presence added a personal touch that meant so much to our family.

The evening flowed beautifully, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. I highly recommend Simply Elegant for any event, big or small. I’ll definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!

Our experience with Simply Elegant was truly exceptional. From start to finish, their team went above and beyond to support our not-for-profit agency, ensuring we stayed within budget without ever compromising on quality or service. Their willingness to accommodate our last-minute requests — including rearranging our cocktail-style tables on the spot — meant so much to us and demonstrated their incredible flexibility and professionalism.

The food was absolutely outstanding — fresh, beautifully prepared, and consistently delicious throughout the entire evening. We received countless compliments from our guests.

What stood out most was the genuine care and attentiveness of the site manager. He took the time to work closely with us, carefully managing the timeline to ensure everything was served exactly as we had envisioned. His dedication and calm support made a significant difference in the success of our event.

The entire Simply Elegant team was professional, responsive, and truly accommodating during both the planning process and the execution of our event. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and the heart they put into making our evening so special. Thank you for everything — we couldn’t have done it without you!

Raymond and his team from Simply Elegant was amazing to work with, professional, accommodating and truly a gem of the company. Here is the back story of what they pulled together. I was helping a Company plan a Christmas Lunch for 60 plus.. I was notified on the afternoon of Dec 19th to plan the Lunch for Christmas Eve. Let's just put it this way, it was a Christmas Miracle that Simply Elegant put it together. The Lunch went without a hitched, food was good and hot. The client will use Simply Elegant for future events.

We ordered the traditional Christmas buffet for our company holiday party, and it was a hit. The food was excellent, and the team at Simply Elegant was friendly and accommodating—especially with our many dietary requirements. All our staff happily went back for thirds and fourths, and I highly recommend the tofu vegetarian stir-fry from their regular menu. Many thanks!

I reached out to the team at Simply Elegant and they helped us a lot by quoting and executing on catering for our event two weeks from the event. Highly recommend as not only was the service excellent but so was the quality of food!

Our organization has used Simply Elegant to cater our annual holiday breakfast. With positive reviews from our staff, we reached out to them again for this year's event. From beginning to end they were a pleasure to work with and offered a large selection of breakfast items. When our final attendance #'s came in, we asked to reduce our order which they quickly adjusted. When the food arrived, the delivery person was friendly and helpful with set up. The food arrived hot along with fresh pastries and fruit. The following day they returned to pick up supplies and were in and out quickly. I would highly recommend Simply Elegant for your catering needs.

This was my first time ordering with Simply Elegant and the staff were so friendly and helpful throughout the planning process of my event. The food was delicious and the presentation was amazing! I especially appreciated their care and attention to detail regarding the food sensitivities/ allergies of our party attendees. I will happily reach out to them in the future and recommend them to others.
