Georgea Sent on 06/29/2024Portland, ME - Catering and Wedding Planner
We used Blue Elephant as our caterer and also had Fausto on our team as our planner for our wedding in May 2024. From top to bottom we could not have asked for a better team. On the catering side, the food was out of this world! The cocktail hour is the first thing people experience at the reception and Blue Elephant absolutely hit a home run on first impressions. Not only did we have a ton of hors d’oeuvres to choose from, they also let us taste a lot of them when we did our food tasting. As soon as we got to the reception we were taken to a room to relax while guests mingled, and Fausto... -

Blue Elephant is absolutely phenomenal! My husband and I cannot thank Blue Elephant enough for making our wedding so incredibly special ❤️
During the planning process, Fausto was extremely communicative, helpful, and supportive in our conversations. He gave a number of suggestions, which we used to make our wedding as beautiful as we could have ever imagined.
On the wedding day, Fausto and his team made my husband and I feel incredibly special. They consistently checked in with us to make sure we were feeling comfortable and happy. Before walking down the aisle, a lovely team member helped me with scrubbing out dirt that had gotten on my dress while taking pictures prior to the ceremony, and... -

Lynne Sent on 08/30/2021Great food and so much more
We hired Blue Elephant for my daughters wedding. The food was amazing - both the appetizers and the dinner. (Particularly recommend the Pulled Pork Sliders and the Beef Short Ribs). The servers, as well as the coordinators (Owners), did a great job making sure the wedding party ate and drank during the hectic picture time. This company also does wedding planning and while we did not hire them for this service it is clear that by doing this they are able to see every detail and make sure everything runs as smooth as possible. Many thanks. -

Jessica Sent on 03/19/2020We highly recommend working with Reuben!
We worked with Reuben as our catering coordinator and our day-of coordinator, and we can’t recommend him highly enough! We did the bulk of the planning ourselves, and we felt so lucky to have Reuben as a reference and sounding board. He helped guide us through the process and was happy to offer help. He is unshakably calm, which was totally key in helping us relax throughout planning and in the days before the wedding.
He is so experienced and took the time to get to know us, which meant that he helped us focus on what was important for our day. He has an incredible rolodex of other professionals in the area - most of our vendors... -

Christina Sent on 03/04/2020Beyond comparison - a perfect day!
We had only heard good things about Blue Elephant from the get go. They were responsive from the start, accommodating, and helped work with us on every single detail. The pre-wedding process was of course fun with lots of things to do but, they helped us navigate the planning, timeline, and event to perfection. When our day came, there was no stress. Everything had been worked out, the whole team was amazingly professional (Dominique killed it as our coordinator), food was fantastic (even some guests who are chefs themselves sang their praises), and everyone had an amazing time. Could not have had such an amazing day without them. Thankful to have had such a great coordinator bring our vision... -

Kelly Sent on 09/09/2019Beyond expectations. Blue Elephant defines perfection
Blue Elephant was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding. They were professional, helpful, easy to talk to and worked above and beyond to making our vision come true. Reuben was absolute joy to work with and I couldn't imagine my wedding without them. You would never regret you decision by choosing them and If I had to do it all over again I would call them again right away. -

Danielle Sent on 12/09/2018More than just a caterer! SO MUCH MORE
Rueben and Dominique were amazing through the entire 7-month process of planning our wedding. Right from the first meeting, we could see how knowledgeable they are and felt extremely comfortable in trusting them to handle an event that meant so much to us. In fact, Rueben’s visualization of how our wedding could be laid out was a huge factor in choosing the venue. Rueben was always available for a quick call, text, or email as questions arose.
Leading up to the week of the big day, Dominique ensured all vendors were on schedule with their pick-ups, delivery, set up, etc. Everything was set up exactly as we wanted it and part of this was due to their... -

Joanna Sent on 09/06/2012I can not say enough about Blue Elephant. Reuben and Fausto are 100% professional and they KNOW what they are doing. Our day went perfectly, and I attribute much of this to Blue Elephant and their staff. They were incredibly helpful leading up to the day, they kept the ceremony and reception on schedule, the food was EXCELLENT! We had an outdoor wedding with a field kitchen so I know timing and temperatures can be more difficult .. but the steak and salmon were cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend them to any type A bride ( like myself)- their attention to detail was evident in everything they did. -

Alexis Sent on 11/02/2011Reuben & Fausto and their staff really know what they are doing. They gave us very personal attention from the get-go. We were planning our wedding from afar and didn't have time to do a lot of the normal research involved with caterers. They made it easy for us since they had so much experience. Our guests LOVED the food - even the people from Maine said that the Lobster Roll appetizers were the best they ever had, now THAT'S an accomplishment! The best part was, on the day of, I didn't have a single worry that everything was going to go perfectly with the food...so it allowed me to enjoy my day to the fullest! -

Fausto and his team knocked it out of the park!!
WOW what good things can we not say about Blue Elephant and their team? Our wedding food was delicious, guests are still telling us how much they enjoyed it, and we were floored during our tasting at how tasty everything was. The owner of BE, Fausto, is so skilled and knowledgeable in the wedding industry. We also hired him as our Day of Coordinator and are so glad we did - he was a wealth of knowledge for us as we planned our Maine wedding from Rhode Island, also coordinating our wedding and tent rentals. He kept the day running so smoothly - if there were any hiccups we don’t know about them! He and his team completely took... -

Not your average caterer!
I interviewed many vendors for my daughters wedding. In the end I selected Blue Elephant and was so happy I did. The entire team was very knowledgeable, responsive, and more importantly just nice people who really seemed to enjoy what they do - making one day special for the bride and groom! As a family, this was our first wedding and as the mother of the bride, I could not have done this without the continued support from Reuben and his entire team. Having said that, I'm a foodie and they are a caterer, the food was incredible! I had people coming up to me all during the wedding, "the food is do delicious and at a wedding...no one... -

Elena Sent on 07/30/2018There is no way I could’ve pulled off the wedding of my dreams without Fausto and his team at Blue Elephant! My wedding was 16 days ago and I am still blown away with how seamless the day was. My expectations were far surpassed and I couldn’t have been more happy with how everything looked and especially the service! Fausto played a major part in helping me with the wedding process. He made me feel so comfortable with my food choices as well as the décor selections in making sure everything would look to what I had envisioned. He absolutely nailed it and I couldn’t be more appreciative! I was worried about having to set up everything in the...
