Robert did not show up for the balloon decoration for my grandson’s 5^th bday on September 7, 2014.
I deposit $ 75.00 into his bank account and I have a contract with him. I have many text going back and forth on the BS he gives. To date, he has not refund my deposit for the no show.
Robert is a crook and both his wife don’t answer their phone and they have a PO Box as a business address.
They have a facebook page and even the hall managers say he will not show up, even if you paid him.
See below Elegant Parties Facebook page.

elegant parties oc — stop scamming people!!!

Went to a party few weeks ago where these guys catered and wow… They seemed terrible. The food tasted no where as good as I heard it was going to be and the plate I received seemed more of a sample plate and I was left starving. Furthermore, for some reason I saw people I knew delivering the plates rather than the caterers (who I only saw one other than the one creating the plates). The one lady who dropped off the silverware only brought out a knife to each plate, so I had to go and get the rest of the silverware for our food (which again, was close to nothing).
I feel like the hosts of the party got scammed with the food and service they paid for.

If I could give negative reviews, I would. I’ve never known a more unprofessional business. They catered my nieces Quinceañera this past weekend and it was disastrous from the minute they arrived:
1. They arrived late.
2. Only 2 of the 4 servers agreed upon arrived, therefore, family and friends were forced to help put the plates together, serve, and pick up the plates.
3. Portions were small and the food was cold. Guests were commenting about still being hungry, which shouldn’t have been the case with salad, bread, pasta, veggies, and chicken parmesan. The contract was signed for food for120 guests, yet they only brought 2 trays of Chicken Parmesan, 1 tray of Vegetables and 2 of pasta, which, by the way wasn’t fettuccine, as had been agreed upon.
4. Rude and unprofessional. When asked about the difference in portions and why some plates were scarcely served (they didn’t use measuring cups or follow any specific measuring method to ensure portions were equal), Robert (who, ironically, is the owner) condescendingly replied «you obviously haven’t been to many catering events, this isn’t hometown buffet.»
I was really looking forward to the food since I had been told the tasting was good, which is why they were hired, but I was left with total disappointment in the the food and absolute disbelief over the service that was provided.

Amazing food, amazing prices and great customer service.
They came to my home and worked with me on creating a menu for our daughter’s birthday. Brought a food sample at no cost. After the tasting I was hooked!
They arrived on time to the party and there was more than enough food for all of our guests. In fact, we had quite a bit of leftovers.
At the end of the night, a few of our friends actually asked us for their info.
