“Hearty Boys catered my wedding back in October and were amazing. They truly went above and beyond in every single way. Andy was our catering manager and he was incredibly responsive and thoughtful throughout the entire wedding planning process. My husband and I wanted the food to be good, but also were working within a budget so Andy helped us go from our dream big catering proposal to something much more within our price range while still being amazing. On the day of the wedding, Andy helped with everything from pacing the wedding party going down the aisle, to setting up our remembrance table to ensuring my husband and I had a personal waiter and food so we didn’t have to think about a thing. He made the night truly special. Everyone talks about how no one remembers the food at weddings, but I have heard multiple people spontaneously say how great and healthy our food was. Would recommend them to anyone.”

“We used their services for our midsized wedding in November. From the very beginning our coordinator Alyson was so incredibly helpful, easy to work with and organized. The day of the food was amazing from the amazing cheese board to the fried chicken, cake and late-night snacks. We got so many compliments on how good the service from waiters and bartenders were. 100% helped make our day a success!”

“Hearty Boys and Alyson were everything we could possibly hope for and more. Parents, friends, that fussy aunt and everyone else at our wedding raved about the food, service, precision and Alyson’s detail-oriented personality. From the initial tasting, me and my wife were 100 percent confident in Alyson and Hearty Boys. Not only did they work us on mundane details, Alyson constantly advocated and advised us on which vendors to use, pitfalls to watch and how to best organize our wedding day. I could write paragraphs on every detail that made Alyson and her team top-notch, but go see for yourself and choose Hearty Boys!”

“Hands down, working with Hearty Boys was the best vendor decision we made for our summer wedding at Greenhouse Loft. Andy made everything happen! He was unbelievably organized and paid so much attention to detail, even outside of the food. His menu was DELISH and his staff was so courteous. Although we had a tight budget, our family-style reception tasted like fine dining (for 175, no less!). The bartenders made our signature cocktails so well that we actually ran out of tequila after the cocktail hour! Also, who couldn’t love the mini mason jar pies?! You will regret not having Hearty Boys cater your next event!”

“Hearty Boys was on our event space’s preferred vendor list, and we’re so glad we got pointed in their direction. While this review could list a million reasons, for us, it came down to personable, flexible service, fantastic communication, ability to work within a budget creatively and a company outlook that approached all their employees as valued members of the team. Oh, and the delicious, generously-portioned food! Alyson was a joy to work with – she made us feel heard, gave us great suggestions on menu items/pairings based on our story (where we’d lived, a lot of relatives who wouldn’t want to be intimidated or left hungry by “fancy” food while still impressing our foodie friends, to name a few examples). On the day of, the whole team worked smoothly and dinner was brought out on time, hot, fresh and I think tasted even better for 175 people than it had for our tasting! They also made sure to set aside a sampling of appetizers and a drink for us right after the ceremony, and made sure we had plenty of time to eat (I hear it’s rare for the couple to get to eat on their wedding day!) The unique approach to service /speed of dinner service was one of the deciding factors for us compared to our second choice in a similar price range, and that decision helped us have an evening that flowed supernaturally and got people on the dance floor as soon as possible. Since catering is often the biggest line item on budgets, we also wanted to note that Alyson and team worked with us to fit a few special requests like a cocktail hour charcuterie board into our budget in a creative way and helped us stretch our budget for maximum impact. We’d heartily recommend them to anyone :)”

“We had our wedding catered by Andy’s team on 10/26/2019. We first did our tasting in the tasting room in Lakeview which was great. From the beginning, Andy’s professionalism and experience are really apparent. He was able to help us navigate through choices with thoughtfulness and honest nature which we really appreciated. The Hearty Boy’s team was able to host both our ceremony and reception at the Chicago Cultural Center. They were able to work with our own provide decorations and supplies and made the venue space look great. Andy personally helped us coordinate our wedding ceremony which we really appreciated. For our cocktail hour, appetizers and drinks were passed out. Guests were personally welcomed back to the reception for the dinner service which was great. The Barlo Braised beef short rib was huge hit with people. Andy was also able to provide us with late night walking taco bar which was amazing. I would highly recommend Hearty Boys for your wedding caterer and that you work with Andy.”
