5.0

  • Starts at $1,750

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 an incredible wedding caterer that made our day extra special. They were helpful, and they were always available to answer our questions. Alicia and Danae worked closely with us to create a menu that combined both mine and my husband's cultural heritage, which was so meaningful.

Lucky Hitch Mobile Events

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

Owners James & Lisa are a husband and wife duo with a passion for entertaining! After leaving her corporate job and wanting to stay in the events industry, Lisa saw the need for a mobile bar in the Chicagoland area and Lucky Hitch Mobile Events came to life. Jamie, a skilled tradesman, was the brains behind the project and their first trailer, Lucky was born. Lisa has over 20 years in the corporate and social event industry and knows what it takes to pull off a successful wedding and event. Always staying on top of the trends, Lisa is always working hard to make sure each and every event goes off without a hitch.

Lucky Hitch was the best to work with! They helped me plan my mobile bar for my wedding and took time up front to take care of all of the details so I did not have to worry about anything. The cocktails and mocktails were tasty and everything went off without a hitch. The bar was decorated so cute and the custom menu even cuter. It was a great night and their mobile bar was definitely the show stopper! Thank you!

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!
