Lake Elmo Inn catered hors d’oeuvres and dinner for our wedding, and they did such a fabulous job we barely noticed they were there! Specifically the Beef Bourguignon was so tender and delicious, and our guests loved the Meatball Duet and the Antipasto Platters. They had set everything up before the ceremony, and were attentive during cocktail hour and dinner with refilling food, water, coffee, etc. They were clearing plates, glasses, and silverware all night without any interruptions, and cleared everything quickly and efficiently at the end of the night.

We are so happy we chose to work with Lake Elmo Inn Catering for our wedding! Cheryl was the main person I had contact with throughout the process, and she did a great job responding quickly and answering any questions I had. I definitely had a lot of them at the beginning! She was super flexible and accommodating with special requests, whether it was switching out a side on one of the entrées, making sure an appetizer wasn't spicy, and keeping track of dietary accommodations for our guests. She made sure to note and cover it all! We had a great experience at our tasting. The team was welcoming, the chef made sure to introduce himself, and the food was so good that it was hard to narrow down which entrées to choose for our wedding day. They even let us take home the leftovers, which was a nice surprise! On the wedding day, the catering team did an amazing job. They brought everyone's food out promptly, and we received so many compliments from guests about how much they loved the food! Thank you so much, Lake Elmo Inn Catering!

We had Lake Elmo Inn cater our wedding at Redeemed Farm, and could not have been happier with how it turned out. We lost count of the amount of people who came up to us the night of and said how their filet was cooked perfectly- let alone warm! It is difficult to cater food for 150+ person weddings or events, but Lake Elmo Inn nailed it. We worked with Cheryl, a catering coordinator for the Inn, who was so professional and responsive. Whether it was changes or substitutions, accommodating dietary restrictions, she was able to do it all with grace. We HIGHLY recommend them for any catering needs you have- so professional, and so good!!

Lake Elmo Inn catered our wedding at The Landmark Center and did a fantastic job. We could not have been happier! We heard so many guests say it was the best wedding food they had ever had. From start to finish they were wonderful to work with - from our tasting, to thinking through menu choices, to the waitstaff the day of - everyone was professional, organized, and provided such top notch service. I highly recommend!

First time getting the Thanksgiving Dinner box. The process was very easy and organized. I've been searching for the right word to describe the meal..thie word FABULOUS doesn't do the meal justice enough. It was exactly the same quality food one might have iwith a dine in experience at Lake Elmo Inn. Thanks to all who took such care in the planning and preparation of our family Thanksgiving Meal.

Visited the Lake Elmo Inn for a Red Cross Blood Drive. Staff were courteous and the venue was clean. Lake Elmo Inn provided wonderful hospitality and snacks for those donating blood. Recommend visiting for a meal.
