Relephant Reviews

"Elephants provided over 20 individually served canapés which would have made Portland's own internationally renowned 60's chef, James Beard, weep with joy. Each hors d'oeuvre was a taste sensation of its own... people could move from room to room with ease all the while being rewarded with the next canapé...an elegant night to remember..."

– Jody Stahancyk, Stahancyk, Kent & Hook

"I was incredibly impressed with the Elephants team that catered our fundraising event last week. My guests couldn’t stop singing the priases throughout the evening. The entire team went above and beyond to keep things flowing smoothly and were always present exactly when I needed them. The bar staff in particular got a lot of compliments."

– Jason, Lift UP

We have worked with Elephants for years on our fundraiser and we go back year after year because they don't disappoint. This year they were again stellar. The food was amazing, The entire team working the event were on top of every detail. They were friendly, thoughtful, hard working, respectful, and professional, from the moment they arrived to the closing of the door at the end of the night.

"We opted for quite a large selection of hors d'oeuvre, which included a beautiful spread of charcuterie, and several warm bite items for about 60 people. We also requested bar service. Everything went off perfectly. I felt spoiled and often wish I could use them for every event we throw. Made my life so much easier."

– Christy K., Yelp

"Delicious food, beautiful presentation, reasonable prices, great people to work with! Everything was great quality and so fresh! I've worked with Elephants on two events now, and have been really pleased."
