Froggy's Catering was very professional. Thierry is very pleasant to work with and highly experienced. He clearly knows his stuff, which brought us comfort on our big day. For our wedding of about 120 people, he and his staff prepared wonderful food, provided excellent service, and ensured the evening flowed seamlessly. We were very happy!
Our wedding at the Women's Club of Evanston was a wonderful experience, thanks to Froggy's Catering. After evaluating several approved caterers, we found Froggy's to offer the best quality and price. Chef Thierry Mace impressed us during the tasting session with delicious salads, hors d'oeuvres, main dishes, and cake. Importantly, Thierry and his team maintained this high quality for our 100-guest wedding.
Working with Thierry was a pleasure. His calm and problem-solving approach was invaluable, especially in the final weeks before the wedding. For anyone seeking stress-free, high-quality, and delicious catering, Froggy's is the ideal choice.
Froggy's was perfect for our venue! Thierry Mace had catered hundreds of events in our space and was very familiar with all aspects of the venue. This was a huge plus!
On to the food; it was absolutely delicious! Guest raved about the food from the appetizers and main course to the dessert. Froggy's offered a great variety of choices as a reasonable price. The day was exactly what the bride and groom wanted!
We hired Froggy's from a list of approved caterers at our venue. They also provided some dessert. Froggy's tried to meet all our requests and people seemed to enjoy the food. The service was attentive during our meal and open bar time. There were some unfortunate issues at the end of the night and a missing cake, but Froggy's did their best to resolve them (for example, making a new cake top for us to enjoy on our first anniversary).
Thierry and his team at Froggy's hit it out of the ballpark!!! The entire process from our tasting to wedding day was 5+ stars! First of all, the food is amazing -- we got so many compliments about the food from the guests at our daughter's wedding! Not only was the presentation beautiful, but it was delicious. Then you have service -- again 5 stars!! Our wedding was at Woman's Club of Evanston -- a venue that Froggy's is super familiar with.
They know all the ins and outs of the venue which was very helpful in our planning process and making things run smoothly. Thierry was ALWAYS available, adaptable and made every request had from dietary restrictions to room layout seem like it was no problem at all. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! You won't be sorry using Froggy's for your wedding!!!
Froggy's was fantastic to work with! The food and service on the day of the wedding was excellent, and the planning process was smooth. Thierry was definitely a calming presence during the planning process, and gave great recommendations to ensure the comfort of our guests as well as options to make sure we could stay within our budget while maintaining a quality experience for our guests. They remained flexible on whether to have the ceremony inside or outside only an hour before the ceremony due the threat of rain. It turned into the most gorgeous afternoon to have an outdoor wedding, and we give Froggy's all the credit!
We were so pleased with the excellent quality of food and service, as well as the beautiful presentation of the buffet for our daughter's wedding. We received lots of compliments from our guests. Thierry, the owner, gave us confidence that all the details would be covered and they were!
Working with Thierry was an absolute delight. From our first meeting, he was abundantly helpful, kind, and so knowledgeable about every logistical step of a wedding that he was almost an additional day-of coordinator. He was very respectful of our preferences and budget. He even had connections with the local Binny’s location and helped us figure out alcohol options. The food was spectacular and service was excellent. Thierry was highly responsive to our many questions during the planning process and he checked in on us very thoughtfully on the day-of to make sure things were running smoothly. Froggy’s Catering truly helped our wedding day be incredibly special. Highly recommend Froggy’s to anyone and everyone planning a wedding. You won’t regret it.
AMAZING! Froggy's Catering was one of the approved vendors for our venue at St. Ignatius College Prep. After meeting with several caters, we knew immediately that Froggy's was the right choice for our wedding. The tasting started with a personal meeting with Thierry where he walked through your wedding reception while eating an assortment of cocktail hour small bites, dinner menu entrees and dessert options. Everything was quality and tasted great! Also, Thierry has catered countless weddings is a great sounding board for ideas and recommendations. On the night of the wedding, Froggy's executed cocktail hour, dinner service, and coffee/dessert service flawlessly. Thierry is very professional and quick to respond to requests or questions. I highly recommend Froggy's to all friends and anyone looking for a quality cater for food, service, and recommendations.
We initially approached Froggy's Catering because they were on a list of approved catering vendors for our wedding venue. We couldn't be happier with our choice! We met Thierry, the head of catering, at our tasting where he led us through the process of food selection, linens, and wait staff. We were blown away by the quality of the catering and also for the extremely competitive pricing; Froggy's could be charging much more than they did. Day of, Thierry and his chief bartending counterpart Gerard were professional, charming, and attentive. They were extremely well prepared, even offering second entrees to some younger cousins who cleaned up their first plates. Froggy's also provided the wedding cake, which was delicious and I cannot wait to have another piece for our one year anniversary. In short, Froggy's Catering offers excellent quality food at a competitive price and attentive and engaging service.
We couldn’t have made a better choice than Froggy’s. Thierry Mace was on top of it from the minute we first considered them. He was extremely well organized, experienced at the venue we chose - the Woman’s Club of Evanston, communicative, attentive to details, and full of good suggestions such as linen colors, table arrangements, food choices.
Froggy’s service and cuisine were top notch. Many of our guests complimented us on both. Thierry also acted as a wedding planner of sorts, proposing a timeline for the evening, and arrangements for the place card, guest book and gift tables. The waiters looked very professional in tux shirts and black bowties. If I could give Froggy’s more than five stars I would.
Outstanding service, delicious food, excellent bar service, reasonable price! My wife and I blown away the amazing service by Thierry Mace and his team. Everything was perfect! We highly recommend Froggy’s!
We loved every minute of working with Thierry to cater our April 2022 wedding at Woman’s Club of Evanston. Despite planning during the ongoing pandemic and its unexpected changes, we felt confident in Thierry and his ability to deliver a wonderful meal and catering experience for our guests. From our tasting many months beforehand at the restaurant, to the night of the wedding, Thierry approached the job with wonderful and valuable recommendations based on his experience, a steady and calm presence, and a great sense of humor.
The food and drinks were fantastic, which included appetizers during a cocktail hour, a two course meal, a wedding cake, and two full bars, and the waitstaff and bartenders at the event were wonderful. Many guests remarked that it was the best wedding food they had ever had! Great options were provided for our vegetarian guests and we also had a kids meal for some children in attendance. Froggy’s was also surprisingly affordable compared to other caterers we considered, especially considering the very high quality of both the food and the French chefs and waitstaff. In addition, Thiery and his staff handled room and table arrangements for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, which was all in the same building, and provided the perfect linens to match our wedding colors.
We will definitely be back to Froggy’s French Cafe for dinner in the future to remember our exceptional wedding experience!
We had the pleasure of working with Thierry, from Froggy's catering, for our wedding last Saturday. Along the whole process (from tastings, to walk-through's, to the reception), Thierry and his staff were extremely professional, hospitable, kind, and fun! As far as the food, it was "chef's kiss!" Not only was the food amazing (yes, wedding food that was AMAZING!), but Thierry was also extremely helpful and skillful in curating a menu that was sensitive to all guests, particularly to allergies and dietary restrictions. Thierry and his staff also provided skill in setting up the reception hall. It was BEAUTIFUL! What a team. If anyone is looking for an amazing catering experience, I highly suggest Froggy's catering. Can't wait to go back for our anniversary! :)
We hired Froggy's for catering at our 4/30/2022 wedding at the Women's Club of Evanston & we're thrilled we did! Thierry made the entire process so easy, from our tasting at the restaurant through to the wedding night - he knew the ins & outs so well, everything was taken care of. The food was incredibly delicious & the cake is the best cake I've ever tasted. Froggy's is a must!!
This team is great to work with for any occasion. They are flexible and do not overcomplicate things at all! I highly recommend them. My husband and I had to adjust the size of our wedding to a new venue and they were able to adapt with no issues at all.
All of our guests from different backgrounds loved the food as well.
Froggy's catered our wedding and knocked it out of the park! Our guests complimented and raved about the food for weeks afterwards. The food was delicious! Thierry was so supportive and helpful throughout the planning process with everything from choosing the menus, dealing with allergies and special requests, appropriate ordering for the bar, adding extra desserts in the final stretch, etc.
On the day of, his team was kind, courteous and attentive. The bar staff, cooks, and waiters were all extremely professional. I didn't have to worry about a thing - Thierry and his team had it all under control. Very reasonably priced and an amazing value. We highly recommend Froggy's catering for your wedding!
Froggy’s catering has amazing food and excellent service. Fresh, local French cuisine at it’s finest. They were wonderful to work with and helped make sure our wedding reception came together perfectly, from begging to end. They made the planning process easy. The entire staff was very accommodating, courteous, and polite. Our guests still rave about the food and service, and wish the night never ended. We highly recommend Froggy’s catering for any event of any size.
The wait staff was very attentive to us and the guests. They made sure that I (Bride) had food and was doing okay which I really appreciated! The table set up was beautiful with the napkins and table linings. The food was delicious! We only had one misunderstanding and hoped that all the food had basil cream sauce and not a lobster sauce because we were precautious with those with food allergies. However, the seafood sauce was plated on the salmon at the wedding. Thankfully, no one had a terrible allergic reaction. Otherwise, we really enjoyed working with this catering company!
Froggy's was such a wonderful caterer to work with for our wedding. Thierry was so knowledgable, helpful and easy-going, and I received so many compliments on the food! They made everything as simple as possible for us. Highly highly recommend!
We ordered our wedding cake from Froggys- and it was a huge hit at our wedding. The white chocolate mousse cake was to die for (as always!). We loved working with Tony- and he basically even let us have a cake bar since we could order multiple kinds of side cakes to serve. Our cake was truly stunning and special. If you want a special memorable cake- go with Froggys!
Thierry and his entire staff are very professional and brought a fun, laidback approach to the wedding. The food was excellent and guests are still commenting on it. Throughout the entire planning process, they were great to work with. Everything went so smoothly I can't say enough about how happy we were with everything. Prices are the best we found and the cake is included!
We recently had Froggy's cater our wedding at the Woman's Club of Evanston. Thierry made the whole process incredibly easy, and the food was delicious. He was also very familiar with our venue, and was able to advise on floor plans and show us what other clients had done in the past. As someone who has never planned a wedding before (and hope to never again), this was a huge help.
Thierry was so great to work with! The food was amazing, and he went above and beyond to help accommodate us amidst some logistical complications (getting married during the Chicago Marathon weekend!). Thierry had some really creative ideas that fit our venue restrictions and our tastes. We are so glad we went with Froggy's.
As mother of the bride, living a distance away from the wedding, it was important to find wedding vendors, and the caterer in particular, who was easy to work with via email and telephone. Thierry of Froggy's was extremely responsive to our questions, suggestions, and directions. He and his team created beautiful tablescapes and set up the room in both a comfortable and lovely way, the servers and bartenders were wonderful with our guests and the food was delish. I like the expertise that Thierry and his team shared as there are so many food decisions to make, having someone provide rationales to assist with decision making was an important benefit. The bride and groom were happy as were all the guests, especially the Mom and Dad of the Bride!
Thierry and his staff at Froggy's Catering were such a delight to work with on our wedding day. They were so kind and accommodating to the groom and I, our families, and our guests. Thierry wanted to make my dreams come true and that he did. He made our hazelnut wedding cake, made macarons especially for me, and served the whole party (dietary restrictions and all!) a delicious meal. To work with such good people made my life as a bride (and planner + stylist) so much easier. I trusted them implicitly and they truly delivered. I could not recommend Froggy's Catering more -- you will love Thierry and his whole crew.
Thierry and his Froggy's staff were amazing...we couldn't have asked for more! Every person I have talked to since the wedding has told me how wonderful both the dinner AND the cake were! From the beginning Thierry was so easy to talk to and you can really tell he's confident in the quality of his food and the service his staff will provide. We had planned to check out a bunch of caterers but after meeting Thierry at his restaurant, we didn't even bother to go to another meeting. He was very involved during the planning process...getting in touch with the coordinators and the liquor vendors. We all met at the venue about a month before the wedding and he was asking the necessary questions to make sure everything would run smoothly on his end, and it did! Not a single hiccup. Look no further, he's your guy!
We had an excellent experience with Froggy's Catering. Thierry was with us every step of the planning process. The day of the wedding his staff was nothing but professional and we got several compliments about the food. We did not go with their bar package, and we ended up under ordering liquor and Thierry let us know right away, and towards the end of the night they were conscientious about what they were opening. Their goal for the night was for us to have a perfect wedding!
Froggy's was a preferred caterer of our venue, the Womans Club of Evanston. The first time we talked to Thierry, we felt at ease.
The tasting was super hard - only because everything was so delicious. Thierry was right there with us through every decision. He was a calming influence on us and made us feel like everything was taken care of. I'm not a cake person, so I decided I wanted donuts instead of cake. Thierry laughed and then provided some truly delicious donuts. But as someone who doesn't like cake, I have to rave about their praline cake. If I was going to have cake at my wedding, it was going to be that.
The day of, the staff was attentive and wonderful Gerard was our maitre d, and he was so fun and fantastic. They rolled with the punches when the power went out at our venue and got everything moving as quickly as possible. They put out all of the dumb favors we had for the tables, and they looked great and exactly how we pictured it.
We would definitely recommend Froggy's for catering - but go to the restaurant too! The atmosphere is great.
Food is amazing ... Lots of flavor and amazing wait staff. Very friendly definitely book with this company. Also affordable for a large guest list
Friends highly recommended Froggy's Catering to us, and the firm did not disappoint. We were delighted with the service, the cuisine, the wine pairings, and the wedding cake. Our guests praised the quality of the catering as well.
In addition, the director of catering was pleasant, polite, and accommodating. He and his staff are consummate professionals who flawlessly execute both service and cuisine. The tastings, site meeting at our venue, and the organizational flexibility resulted in a truly joyous occasion.
I knew the food was going to be good after our fabulous and delicious tasting experience at Froggy's. But I wasn't expecting how many of my guests were going to tell me that the food was the best they'd ever had at a wedding.
We were married at the Evanston Woman's Club in October and had about 100 guests. For dinner, we served a salad, a pre-selected choice of duck or chicken, and white and dark chocolate mousse cake. Froggy's put up a dessert bar with an assortment of mini french pastries and left a boxed cupcake at each seat as our wedding favors. The food was all beautiful and my guests loved it. The display cake was gorgeous (and not the cake people actually ate - shhh, don't tell)! We stocked our own bar through the Binny's in Highland Park, and Froggy's provided the glassware and bar tenders. The whole set up worked seamlessly from my vantage point and allowed us to have an affordable, well-stocked bar.
The best thing about Froggy's though was the service. Thierry was organized, calm, and very experienced working with the Woman's Club. I felt like I could trust him to handle a lot of the details and coordinate with the Woman's Club, the liquor store, and other vendors. My parents met Thierry at the tasting and his confidence and expertise went a long way keeping them calm and happy throughout the planning process. Theirry's staff took care of the room set up and everything looked great.
The team at Froggy's kept our budget in mind and helped us plan a beautiful event within our budget constraints. Their pricing was better versus what we saw with other caterers. Throughout the planning process I felt that Thierry was helpful in guiding us to options that would help us stay within our budgets (i.e., one type of table linen versus another). I feel like we stumbled upon a well kept wedding industry secret with Froggy's. I would highly recommend them!
My husband and I had the most fabulous wedding food experience! Froggy's catered it and it was not only delicious, but the food was served hot, all the servers were so pleasant, all the appetizers, main meal etc. was served on time and ready. The cake was sooooo delicious!! Thierry was such a joy to work with! We had a couple food tastings and picked just what we wanted to be served at the wedding! He was so punctual and anytime we need to talk or meet at the venue (Elawa Farms) he would make time for us. I HIGHLY recommend using Froggys for catering, it was such a delightful experience and made for NO STRESS!
Froggy's. Is. Amazing.
Seriously....look no further. From the second we met with Theirry until after our honeymoon, we had nothing but a perfect experience. They are so knowledgeable, will work with you to make sure your meal is exactly what you dreamed of, and will keep each and every one of your guests happy. We had two guests who needed Kosher meals and Theirry made sure to order them from another place to make sure our guests could eat. There was a sweetheart table at our venue that was entirely too small and Theirry recommended renting a bigger one and without even questioning, we had him do it. We trusted him and everybody should. He knows his stuff!
Everybody goes into a tasting for their wedding hoping their wedding day meal is as good as it was at the tasting. Ours def was from first course down to late night snack. I had at least 75 people tell me how amazing the food was that night alone.
Froggy's is the real deal. I could not have been one ounce happier. Thank you Theirry and the amazing staff at Froggy's for making our wedding absolutely unbelievable!
Hands down, made the party. My husband and I received SO MANY complements on the food AND the wait staff. After looking around at several caterers and thinking we were going to have to settle for something we weren't necessarily wild about, Froggy's and owner Thierry came through like a night in shining armor on a white horse. The food is AMAZING and the costs were extremely reasonable. Additionally, Froggy's bakery provided our cake that is THE BEST cake I've ever had. I usually don't like cake because I hate icing, but Froggy's uses white molding chocolate instead and has all kinds of amazing cake flavors. I know my husband and I will be dining at Froggy's for years to come.
I recently had Froggy's cater my wedding in Highland Park at the historic Highland Park Community House. From initial meeting to final presentation, everything was remarkably professional and beautifully done. Catering manager Thierry Mace took care of everything and handled the entire event with such ease and style. I only received the highest of compliments on my choice of vendor and food.
For a Chicago wedding, the value was enormous. We had two delicious entrees with side dishes and a gorgeous mousse wedding cake, not to mention rental of linens and serving ware. I was so happy that my guests had an amazing dinner and such impeccable service. I would absolutely, without any doubt, recommend Froggy's unbelievable French cuisine to any Chicago area bride.
