I have used My Chef for so many different occasions, and every time is better than the last. They catered my daughter’s wedding and I can’t say enough on how pleased I was with them. From the food, the bar, the set-up to how helpful they were. They did an incredible job. If you’re looking for a great caterer, My Chef is the best around.

Hoffman House Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Dakota, IL

You’ve been dreaming of this day for a long time, crafting the perfect experience in your mind. The dress. The flowers. The ring. And, of course, the food. Each celebration is an opportunity for us to help couples bring their unique vision to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
We deliberated a ton on choosing a caterer for our wedding. We were trying to stay on budget yet choose something we knew our guests would enjoy. Julie Bieber with Hoffman House went above and beyond to help us decide and honestly her generosity sealed the deal. Nearly everything we tried at our tasting was top notch on taste and appearance. We settled on a BBQ buffet with a few extras (hot cider and candy apple table) and it was a hit with guests. Several guests came up to me to say how good the food was, especially the appetizers. The service they provided was also fabulous! Everything ran smooth and one specific server (unfortunately I did not catch her name) made sure that my husband and I were tended to and got food. She even went above and beyond catering to my dogs. Anything I asked her for she obliged. I loved that she made sure all my leftover desserts were boxed up which I don’t even think was her job but she did it because I asked specifically. The servers even took the time to bag about a dozen candy apples for us to take home. I was just super impressed and happy that I chose Hoffman House. No matter what food we would have chose I have no doubt they would have handled it perfectly. Choose Hoffman House! They’re worth the cost and you won’t be disappointed.

Late to the Lake was the perfect wedding caterer for our special day. From the very beginning, their communication was on top of it wonderful - they were incredibly responsive and attentive to all of our questions and requests. The quality of their work and value was simply delicious, unforgettable, and outstanding. They went above and beyond in so many ways, even helping with extra services we didn't even expect. Late to the Lake was a crucial part of the success of our wedding, and we appreciated Danae, Carly, and Ryanne's kindness and impeccable service throughout the entire process.

With Bartender 608, you can trust that every aspect of your drink service will be handled with precision and care, creating a flawless and memorable experience for you and your guests.

As a wedding venue, we have been fortunate enough to see most, if not all, of the mobile bartending service companies in the Madison area. Bartender608, China Moon (owner) and her staff are the best to work with. They are very responsive to us, as a hosting venue, and their clients who are typically the bride and groom. China and her team arrive on time, or early, have a very professional set up and always dress the part. Bartender608’s service is always efficient regardless of the size of your group. If we were hosting our own wedding or party, Bartender608 would be an easy and immediate Yes Please!

You can even have your own roasting station at your event with TerraFlame Fire Bowls available through Tuck-ins!

Awarded Best of Zola
We arranged to have the Tuck-ins team come to our wedding to set up a table with small fire stations and Tuck-ins so that our guests could roast their own s'mores as a fun, interactive dessert. All of my guests loved them and they were also able to take some home if they wanted to save one for later. Additionally, working with the Tuck-ins team was great; they're very responsive and were even able to customize the labels on the Tuck-ins to have our names and wedding date on them. It was truly a unique part of our wedding and I think everyone enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
