All of our menu items are made in house to ensure you are receiving the freshest product possible.

The Wild Asparagus team is absolutely amazing! From our very first conversation with Kelly through to our wedding day and after, s qhe and the entire team were joyful, easy to work with and flexible. Our wedding plans went through multiple changes due to COVID-19 and the team stood by us every step of the way offering advice and the occasional shoulder to cry on. When we ultimately had a small reception for 12 people in our backyard Kelly and the team made sure every detail was cared for. Our guests are still talking about the fantastic food and how Kelly and Tim (acting as our server/bartender) fit right in with the small group of family and friends. We are planning to have a first anniversary party/reception more in line with our original wedding reception plans later this year and are looking forward to working again with Diane, Kelly, Tim, Julia and the entire team. They are extended family to us now.

Froggy's Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Lake in the Hills, IL

Froggy's was founded in the summer of 1980 by co-founder Chef Thierry Lefeuvre. After a few successful years, Froggy’s responded to the ever increasing customer demand for diversified services by opening Froggy’s Catering with Thierry Mace as the director of all off-premise affairs. Thierry Mace was born in Brittany and has worked in England, Germany, and the Caribbean. Keeping in line with the objective of providing clients with innovative food concepts, exceptional service, and good value, Froggy’s Catering has been offering customized catering services of the finest quality. From intimate dinner parties to large corporate events accommodating 600 guests, Froggy’s Catering always strives to provide the highest of standards throughout the Chicago land area and across the country.

Froggy's Catering was the perfect choice for our wedding. When we see anyone who attended our wedding, they still rave about the incredible food. All of the hors d’oeuvres were divine, and the bar service was exceptional. At Thierry’s recommendation, we brought in our own alcohol to lower our overall cost. We collaborated about the menu of spirits to determine what would be the best options for our guests. Moreover, my husband and I had a specialty cocktail which Thierry and his team were happy to accommodate. For dinner, we chose the beef and chicken combination plate and passionfruit cake - both were outstanding. While my husband and I are chocolate cake people, we tried all of the flavors offered and unanimously agreed the passionfruit was the clear winner. Our guests thought so, too. We had the opportunity to taste the menu a few months prior to the wedding and make any adjustments we wanted. For example, we wanted enough bread for everyone at the table to have 2 pieces each as well as a larger serving of mashed potatoes. We also wanted a specific white wine (not French) to be served with dinner. In addition to guiding us through the food and bar selections, Thierry also helped us choose our table linens. He was wonderful to work with and graciously incorporated all of requests. He was quick to update our menu as well as our invoice. Thierry was transparent with the costs and kept us well informed throughout the planning process. Froggy's Catering is reasonably priced, offers delectable food, and prioritizes professionalism. Let Thierry and his years of experience in the wedding industry guide you as you design an unforgettable wedding menu. I highly recommend Froggy's for your wedding or other special event! You will not be disappointed.

Pear Tree - Hel's Kitchen Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Lake in the Hills, IL

Pear Tree - Hel's Kitchen Catering™ has been serving the Chicagoland community for over 25 years. We are committed to offering freshly prepared gourmet foods and ingredients with excellent service to all of our clients. We provide a variety of services and have everything needed to suit catering needs for parties of 2-2,000. At Pear Tree Catering we strive to not only create delicious food, but also create an ambiance and night to remember for all of our guests. We can take care of everything from table decorations and themed centerpieces to costumed servers, anything we can do to ensure a dynamic and memorable occasion for our clients.

Pear Tree catered my daughter’s wedding, which we hosted in our backyard. They did an amazing job in all aspects, including the delicious food, the beautiful presentation, and the phenomenal staff. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a top-notch catering company. Shelly, as well as her entire staff, was delightful to work with – throughout the event planning stage as well as during the wedding itself. I was aiming for a very specific ambiance to my party, and Shelly listened carefully, understood my goals, and produced a party which totally matched those goals. With her extensive knowledge and creative ideas, she actually enhanced my objectives. When the wedding day came and Pear Tree arrived, I had total confidence that all of my hard work had come to an end – I knew that they would now take over the work while I enjoyed the wedding day – and that is exactly what happened. Shelly took the lead in executing every detail that we had discussed during the planning stages; yet remained flexible enough to make judgment calls where it was appropriate to do so. In regard to the setup of the food, she went above and beyond to create beautiful displays. As far as the food quality, I’ve never before had so many guests at my party approach me to let me know how wonderful the food was – and we had many foodies at our wedding! For certain items, I was told that they were the best in class! Shelly and her staff were accessible and easy to communicate with throughout the party – whether it be timing requests based on how many of my guests had arrived, or a personal favor (i.e., could you please offer a watermelon skewer to my daughter, the bride). They were efficient, polite, and respectful to everyone. When it came time for cleanup, they once again went above and beyond. Not only did they leave all cooking and serving areas immaculate, but they cleaned up parts of the party that they had not even been responsible for – i.e., gathering up the centerpieces, candy, nuts, etc. They even wrapped all leftover food and neatly packed it into my refrigerator. If you want to host a first-class party while minimizing your stress throughout the event planning stage as well as during the party itself, I highly recommend Pear Tree Catering!

Welcome. Chef Jason started out in the kitchen at 15 years old as a dishwasher at Red Lobster washing dishes and baking. From there, he worked many cook’s lines until I earned my first chef position under Emeril Lagasse over ten years ago. He's went on to operating casino kitchens, private dining clubs. Since relocating from Atlanta, GA Jason has gained experience in kitchen consulting and new restaurant openings. After 25 years in the industry, He is now starting a new journey into the Private Chef sector. He refers to his style of cooking as Southern Creole cooking, where it’s much more than cooking…it’s about the overall experience.

Bartender 608 Intoxicologists & Cocktail Caterers, LLC. 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Lake in the Hills, IL for additional fees

Since 1995, China Moon has bartended for dive bars, house parties, underground events, celebrity bashes, and fine dining establishments in NYC and the Midwest. She’s an old soul with a heart for gardening, reading, music, dancing, animals, and, when it’s safe again, putting her passport back in the rotation. She holds a degree in Hotel & Restaurant business management, was the Private Dining & Event Manager at The Edgewater Hotel from 2016-to 2018, and is a member of the Beta Beta Psi chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. China Moon is an eager reader (and dotes on Stephen King and Dean Koontz novels.) She loves aged Brugal Rum on the rocks with lime.

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!
