We hired Elysian for a raw bar at our wedding. I appreciated that they were willing to work with what we wanted as the hosts, not just what was best for them. They worked well and I would hire them for any event but especially a wedding.

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a wedding in my life where I have enjoyed the food. My own wedding, different story! Elysian knocked it out of the park and over delivered on their promise. If you are considering which food vendors to look at for your event, look no further. Overly friendly staff, delicious good, and all around 10/10 experience. We can’t thank Jen and her team enough for how great our wedding turned out. Thank you 1000000 times!
