Could not have nicer things to say about working with My Chef and Jamie Walsh for our wedding day…read morecatering. We met Jamie at our venue's vendor expo and were immediately impressed by their services, pricing, and vast food offerings. It was a no brainer to book with their group! We had our tasting a couple months before our wedding day; which is complimentary to the couple and a $50 charge for any additional guest to join. They have you select 8-10 appetizers, 2 salads, and 4 entrees to taste at their Naperville location. They also have displays of china, silverware, glasses and more to help couples select what aligns aesthetically for their special day. Jamie worked with us to make small modifications to their standard offerings to make the food exactly what we wanted! Our wedding day came and we were floored by the quality/presentation of food, level of detail in place settings, and service from all staff members. We had multiple guests say that this was some of the best wedding food they've had, steaks were not over cooked, and food tasted fresh. Jamie also let us add desserts a week out to reallocate money from a couple of guests who last minute were unable to attend. Their team was even nice enough to service items not purchased through their group: disposables for the late night snack, display and refilling of cupcakes, etc. Overall, their group went above and beyond for us under Jamie's leadership. Our tables looked great, our food was wonderful, and their team was fabulous. We truly appreciate all they've done for us and could not recommend them more!

Disappointing experience despite a fresh and new business relationship. We have used this catering…read morecompany for multiple corporate events and have spent considerable money with them. Historically, the food and service have been very good, which makes our experience with our most recent BBQ event particularly disappointing. The weather was questionable the morning of the event, so we understood the decision to precook the burgers and brats. However, the weather ultimately cooperated, and the event proceeded as planned. We specifically requested that we use at least one large gas grill we provided, even if only to keep the grill/char lines going, but that did not happen. The catering team arrived on time, but the setup was not completed as expected. Two chefs who had originally been scheduled to be onsite to cook the food ultimately spent much of the event standing around with very little involvement. More importantly, the food was served lukewarm to cold even though it arrived in hotboxes, and some food was undercooked/raw. The sternos were not lit until well after the food had been set up and less than 10 minutes before mealtime, which did little to address the temperature problem. For the price we paid, the quality of service and temperature of the food were simply not acceptable. I immediately raised my concerns with the event planner after the event. When I didn't receive a follow-up, I emailed to express our disappointment. To the event planner's credit, she responded and said the owner wanted to address the matter personally and would contact me after returning from out of town. That was over a month ago, and we have still received no communication. A coworker who also helps coordinate our company events separately contacted her point of contact at the company, but also received no response. What is most disappointing is not simply that one event did not meet expectations. We have been a significant repeat customer, and we expected our concerns to be acknowledged and addressed professionally. Instead, we received no follow-up at all. We have had good experiences with this caterer in the past, which is why this situation has been frustrating. Unfortunately, the combination of cold food, a lack of attention during the event, and zero follow-up afterward has made us decide to seek catering elsewhere for our corporate events.

Valerie and team did a fantastic job with the food and everything truly was delicious. We had roasted pork loin, jerk chicken, pigeon peas and rice, candied sweet potatoes, and cornbread.

The meat was so tender and flavorful that I wound up eating the whole sandwich.. However I just didn't care for the peppers that was on there, but it was not their fault..I should of said hold the peppers because I'm really not fond of them anyway.. The cup of pasta salad was okay, I just wish it had just a tad bit more dressing on it, but it was still good.. I would definitely recommend visiting their restaurant to experience more of their menu items..

The meatballs were delicious, the sauce actually was very good and I don't even like mushrooms at all. The second item I got was the meat filled dumplings, and those were really good. They were actually a lot better than I thought they would be. The third item I tried was the smoked Polish sausage. I will be honest, this was not my favorite. It was not bad, but the flavor on it I did not like as much as other Polish places I've tried. I definitely want to go back and try their cabbage and noodles and pigs in a blanket. They also have desserts that I will have to try as well. They do sell sandwiches, Chicago style hotdogs, and have a small grocery store inside.

Had my wedding over the weekend and while I loved it, I can't say it was stress free (tears were…read moreshed, hair fell out, etc.). I can say Marie's Catering saved my wedding... trust me... I am forever THANKFUL. Their experience, organization, and just willingness to commit to making this day so special. From the start, we loved their food and knew immediately they were it. We even did an additional tasting to look at other options on their menu. Wedding day ... everything that could have happened to us ... happened (never returning to our venue ever). Luckily none of the guests found out because they were all distracted about the food. During contrail hour, the staff was nonstop bringing appetizers because people were taking thirds, fourths, etc. & I'm still hearing about it! Then dinner was exquisite. The portion of the food is very notable... GENEROUS and FILLING. Even my pickiest family members were asking for more. We had a lot of DIYs and they accommodated all of them. Even the ones I brought last minute. And the staff -- every single person -- was so kind, friendly, and just lovely to be around. The bartenders were absolute champs. They even went above and beyond to make us happy while our venue was being EXTRAORDINARILY difficult. Stephanie even came to help us de stress us & the bartenders were just phenomenal - trust me, our 170 guests do not mess around with an open bar. In conclusion, our venue.. never again. Marie's catering would choose all over again! Thank you again!! I don't have photos of our food at the moment, but wanted to share photos because it ended up being such a beautiful day

We loved working with Wooden Paddle Catering! The quality of the food and drinks was incredible,…read moreeveryone at our wedding raved about the food and drinks. Everyone we worked with was so kind and professional. They were able to accommodate different dietary restrictions which was so nice especially considering the groom's family was vegetarian. Without asking, they made sure to make one of our prosciutto pizzas without prosciutto to provide to the groom's family table. The set-up and tear-down was so seamless on the day of our wedding. Thanks for helping give us the wedding of our dreams! If we had one piece of feedback, it's that the menu wasn't completely accurate regarding which items were vegetarian. For example, the harvest salad was listed as vegetarian, but when we asked about it at our tasting, the nuts in the salad are cooked in beef tallow. It was very easy to order the salad without nuts, but we're glad we asked, otherwise we wouldn't have known. And the ooey-gooey butter cake is not listed as a vegetarian item on the menu, but when we asked to confirm, we were told it was vegetarian. This ended up being very minor in the scheme of things, but just think updating the labeling would make things clearer. Overall, everything worked out perfectly on the day and we're so glad to have worked with them!

It truly breaks my heart to have to write this review, but the unprofessionalism and lack of…read morecommunication we have experienced with Wooden Paddle has been nothing short of atrocious. We used to absolutely love this company. From the restaurant and open communication to the food tasting and overall experience, everything was wonderful leading up to our wedding day. Unfortunately, that experience was not reflected day of. We are extremely disappointed with how things unfolded at our wedding on October 17. Quite frankly, the only part of the day that went as expected was cocktail hour. Beyond that, we experienced SO many issues that left us feeling frustrated, disappointed, and honestly heartbroken. What makes this entire situation even more upsetting is the complete lack of communication and effort to resolve the issues we experienced. We have been trying to get in touch with someone at Wooden Paddle for the past two weeks and have received nothing back. The lack of response has been incredibly underwhelming, essentially nonexistent, and, quite frankly, extremely unprofessional. We understand that things can go wrong, but how a company handles those mistakes and communicates with its customers afterward speaks volumes. We expected accountability, acknowledgment, and a willingness to address our concerns, but instead, we have been left feeling ignored and completely disappointed. After trusting this company with such an important day in our lives, we never imagined we would be left feeling this way. We believe these issues deserve to be addressed, and we want to share the specific things that went wrong: Pizza Quality: Burnt, undercooked and both on singular pies. Many pizzas were inedible and were not touched. Delivery Timing: 1. Time between pizza deliveries were VERY VERY long. 2. Some tables were on pizza 3 before others even had gotten to 2. 3. We are unsure as to whether all 4 pizzas got served. Some guests have stated that they had never recieved all options. Coffee & Tea Add-on Station: Not set up until I had to ask a member of staff to set it up. A service we paid EXTRA for. Dietary Pizzas: 3/5 Dietary pizzas were incorrect. We were told that they never recieved the orders; however, orders were confirmed via email with Brianna DAYS before event. Table Clearing: New, full drinks were being cleared away and guests were becoming frustrated with constantly having to get new ones. Excuses: Staff told our day-of point person that the reason everything ran behind was because of "traffic". The Wooden Paddle team was there when we had arrived at 1P; which was EARLY compared to the 1:30/2P setup time we were initially informed of; by both a previous (no longer employeed) WP Catering Sales Manager and our Venue Coordinator. We are truly heartbroken that this was our experience with a company we once loved and trusted. We understand that things can go wrong, but the lack of communication and effort to make things right has made an already disappointing experience even worse. We hope Wooden Paddle takes our feedback seriously and understands how important it is to provide couples with the experience and service they deserve, especially on a day as important as their wedding.

When we did our tasting, we knew pretty quickly they were the top, both because the food was several levels above what we'd tasted with other caterers, and because Derek asked us great questions throughout the tasting to better understand what we needed for our event, and to make great recommendations & help us think through aspects that hadn't even occurred to us yet. We had quite a few people in the weeks after the wedding reach out to say that they've never had better food at a wedding, and that was our experience too! They also staff the event incredibly well, and each of the team members we interacted with was a pro. Definitely add them to your list, and expect them to beat everyone else!
