Simply Elegant Catering was simply amazing. We had our wedding at the Pasadena Museum of California Art and after looking at several places for a vendor who met the museum strict requirements and was within our budget, Simply Elegant came to our rescue. Mike with Simply Elegant ensured that the museum was happy and worked with us to ensure the price was within our budget and offered many suggestions. One of the many things I loved about them was there flexibility! When planning a wedding, it is great when vendors can be flexible and accommodating to your needs without charging you for all the extras. Mike provided us with a bartender and allowed us to purchase our own alcohol, this for us was a major help because alcohol can easily put you over your budget. The food, service and staff where amazing.

Mike and his team at Simply Elegant catered our wedding at Puddingstone Resort in May of 2010. They did an awesome job. Everyone loved the food! We used them for our rentals as well which were very competitively priced and high quality. He allowed us to bring our own alcohol as well which his bartender served, that saved us a ton of money. We also had our rehearsal dinner at his store front and he gave us a fabulous deal. I would highly recommend using his space for your rehearsal dinner if it is available. Mike is an honest, straight forward guy who makes fabulous food. If we ever have another catered party we will definitely use Simply Elegant again.

Mike and his amazing crew of catering artists made our 1940's Oscar-themed wedding a huge success! We continue to hear raves about the fantastic food from our friends and family. In our opinion, Mike is the gold standard for catering professionalism.He also recommended our Day-Of Coordinator Nghia Luu, who turned out to be exactly what we needed to pull the whole complicated event together with style and class. Nghia and Mike are the ones to beat! :)

Working with Mike from Simply Elegant Catering was great! Unlike most of the vendors we came across, Mike really cared about our wedding and wanted to make it the best it could be. No one expects good food at a wedding, but Mike and his catering team did the impossible. People are still talking about his rosemary masehd potatoes and sea bass with the lemon grass sauce. He went out of his way to make sure that all the details are in place and was so fun to work with! I highly recommend Simply Elegant Catering! Everything was seemless and his staff are very professional.

Mike at Simply Elegant was an absolute joy to work with. From the moment I met him I knew I was going to hire him. His warmth and dedication to making our event perfect was genuine. He worked effortlessly with us to ensure that we and our guests would be happy that day going the extra mile throughout the entire process.

Simply Elegant gave us everything we wanted and more. The service was outstanding. Our guests had nothing but compliments. As the bride, my groom and I were busy during dinner saying hello to our guests. When we finally made it back to our table, the servers had brought us both dinner plates full of a little bit of everything from the buffet without us even having to mention it!The responsiveness was outstanding as well. Emails, phone calls, menu drafts, and contracts were all properly and professionally delivered. They were also very flexible with the tastings.Above having wonderful options for dinner ware, flatware, table linens, chairs, etc., the food was the best part. The presentations were clean, simple, but creative and the quality of food for such a large quantity of guests was more than what we hoped for. One of the true gifts of Simply Elegant is the peace of mind they provided us. We knew we didn't have to worry about anything with them and, as a former bride, that makes it worth it!

Mike and Laura were wonderful at making my wedding everything I wanted it to be. They will help you create a menu for anything that you are trying to do and are good at responding to e-mails fairly quickly. I highly recommend them!

To be blunt, my folks paid for my wedding, and they didn't tell me how much they spent with Duxbury. So I can't talk about value for cost. But the food that they prepared, and the way they treated me like family on my wedding day, those sorts of things put them over the top. I had a very specific vision for my menu -- dressed-up elegant comfort food -- and they got it instantly. I like to groove on unique menu possibilities, and so does Mark Duxbury.

Mike and Laura worked hard to give us just the wedding we'd dreamed of, and at a budget level we could afford. Even going out of their way to work with a special Chinese chef for the occasion. Great job!

Duxbury's catered my December 10 wedding at Castle Green in Pasadena, CA. They did an outstanding job. Their staff was friendly and helpful - constantly went out of their way to help my guests (and my parents!). The food was delicious, and they gave us a very reasonable estimate for the cost of the reception food. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Outstanding... very professional... a pleasure to work with.

The food was great, and Mike and Laura are very easy to work with. We had some glitches on the big day, though: 1 bar instead of 2, which was a pretty major issue we discussed, and it caused a very long line during the cocktail hour; losing track of what they were supposed to set up (Mike was aware, but head server was clueless); groom's food was supposed to be without cheese, but it didn't come that way. All in all a good experience, but there definitely needs to be some improvement on the lines of communication between Mike and the head server. Everyone was very friendly and responsive, and I would recommend them.

Duxbury went to jail a few months before my wedding. So they had to change the name to Simply Elegant, and the place changed ownership! The staff for the most part was good, the food was good, the bartender excellent. However, the lead server came to me at the end of the night and handed me all the linens in trash bags and told me that because I didn't rent them through them it was my responsibility to take them home! The lady was SO rude, there I was in my wedding dress, most of the guests had already left, so I had to quickly find someone to take them. Not a nice surprise.
