I just cannot say enough about the fabulously delicious food and service experience we just received from Elaine Bell Catering. With a special shout-out to Jennifer Thompson! We hosted a party with almost 100 people and not only was the food spectacular, but...the service, Jennifer, and all the staff were just incredible too! Jennifer, is exceptional and when she tells you she's got it, believe her, because she does! The staff was professional, friendly, efficient, and just lovely to work with. Did I tell you how good the food was? Amazing!! I don't know how Elaine Bell/Jennifer do what they do under the different circumstances of the conditions where they set up to cater. We had our event at a winery that would not share their kitchen. Jennifer had to set up a remote-kitchen outside in January! Yikes! We were so worried I think we drove Jennifer nuts with our fears. Jennifer just kept assuring us, and she delivered an incredible dining experience. Not only was the food amazing, it was hot when it was served and the staff remained attentive throughout the entire evening. No need to look elsewhere, just hire Elaine Bell Catering, they've got you covered and they will take so much stress off the planning of your event. Thank you again, Jennifer, we will see you on the next one!

Elaine Bell is, and always has been, spectacular. The customer service provided by the team for our Napa Pain Conference 30th anniversary vineyard dinner was so very appreciated. And the cabernet sorbet? In a vineyard at night? What a wonderful touch. Thank you!!

We loved working with Elaine Bell Catering and couldn't have asked for a better catering experience for our wedding! We worked with Krystina, and from the first call she listened to our vision of creating a hybrid Indian and American wedding and she worked closely with us to design a menu that perfectly captured this vision. Her responsiveness and willingness to address all our questions and concerns throughout the planning process made us feel at ease. We opted for family-style dining, and the food was DELICIOUS, we had guests tell us it was by far the best wedding food they've had. We also designed 3 signature cocktails and despite our somewhat unique recipes and ingredients, the bartenders managed to make incredible tasting cocktails, they were a big hit. We can't thank EBC and Krystina enough for being an integral part of making our wedding day truly memorable!

We are so glad we hired Elaine Bell Catering for our wedding in June!!! As farmer's market enthusiasts and devout home cooks, we had our hearts set on serving a locally-sourced, colorful, seasonal, and produce-forward menu that celebrated this region's magnificent bounty. We were intent on serving our guests the most fresh, delicious, beautiful, and perfectly prepared food possible, and Elaine Bell absolutely delivered!!! We received many many compliments from our guests who were completely blown away by the quality of the food, the masterful preparation, and the gorgeous presentation. There was widespread consensus that this was by far the best meal our guests had ever had at a wedding! We appreciated working with Krystina, who was always organized, detailed, and responsive to our questions and requests. She understood and supported our needs intuitively and was flexible and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. It was so helpful that Elaine Bell supplied our glassware, dinnerware, and bartending services as well -- it relieved us the trouble and cost of additional rentals and vendors. The service on the day of the wedding was lovely, attentive, and completely professional. We cannot recommend Elaine Bell highly enough! THANK YOU!!!

Where to start with EBC! I suppose from the beginning and our first call with Jennifer... She was enthusiastic about their offerings all the while curious about our style and what exactly we were looking for on our special day. The meal options to choose from were extensive, but Jennifer appropriately guided us to selections that she felt would suit our wishes and our style. Then came the tasting, which was a blast! Full portions so we could see the plating and they were open to a few modifications. Jennifer made suggestions for welcome beverages and a few other details that we hadn't even considered, which was much appreciated. We chose a plated dinner for our 75 guests, and the fact that EBC prepares each plate onsite was a huge advantage to other caterers. When it came to our big day, we couldn't have been more pleased. The staff was warm and welcoming, professional and polite. Everything went smoothly with the dinner and they even packaged us a few pieces of our cake that we unfortunately forgot to go eat during the reception! EBC is a first class caterer in the wine country region. Thank you to Jennifer and the EBC for helping to make our special day so wonderful!

Elaine Bell is one of the best caterers in the Sonoma/Napa area. They are friendly, responsive, attentive to details and always deliver on event days. Their presentation really wows! As a local wedding planner, I love working with this team and always know I will get perfection!

We had our wedding in Sonoma and had an absolutely amazing time catered by Elaine Bell! They were super accommodating with all our requests and were helpful in bringing together a customized experience for us. It started with the initial tasting and we were blown away by the presentation and quality of food. During the wedding, our guests loved the passed appetizers and the refreshing welcome drinks as well. They did a good job of bringing back and forth as much apps as possible to our guests. They also set aside some drinks and a plate of apps for the bride & groom so we had time to eat a little bit before we got to mingling with our guests. We also did the bartending package add on and these ladies worked hard to meet the demands of our guests who can really drink! They did a great job pouring the vast assortment of alcohol we had on hand and moved quickly through the line Dinner was great as well and I thought they did a great steak / bistro filet! It was super tasty and loved the accompanying veggies. We also did a dessert table with macarons, cheesecake, tiramisu and creme brulee which was all gone within the first few minutes! Lastly we added on a pizza oven and they passed around pizza for our late night bite On a last note, they surprised us with a gift picnic basket bag with wine from our venue and some snacks!

When looking for caterers, we were relieved to find Elaine Bell. Their food looked phenomenal (and trust me, it is!), but they also offered full services to meet all our needs and simplify our wedding planning considerably. Instead of finding a baker, wait-staff, flatware, bartenders, etc. - Elaine Bell had us covered. Their service and professionalism was phenomenal- they were consistently attentive to our guests and the ever shifting goings-on between ceremony and reception. We had a full charcuterie table, hand selected dinner buffet and 2-tier cake with assorted baked treats and every bite was beautifully displayed and tantalizingly delectable. I would go with Elaine Bell 100 times over.
