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.

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.

Booking Late to the Lake as our wedding caterers was the best decision we made for our day. Their communication style was sweet, helpful, and quick to respond. They provided great suggestions to make our day even more special. The value they provided was outstanding - the food was beautifully presented and received 5-star reviews from our guests, who raved about the delicious flavors and attentive service. Our guests have commented multiple times a week since our wedding last month about how the food and smooth service made our day truly unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience.

Bartender 608 Intoxicologists & Cocktail Caterers, LLC. 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Dakota, IL

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!

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!
