Hoffman House catered our wedding in March 2026, and we have no complaints. Their communication during the planning process was great, and the tasting about a year out from our wed...
ding was incredible. We got to try so many different plates and were sent home with all the leftovers. The menu that was agreed upon was presented beautifully on our wedding day, and many guests complimented us on our food choices. I am so happy we went with Hoffman House for our wedding food.
The whole experience was so fluid and they really take care of everything! Their communication is phenomenal so it was easy to trust them every step of the way. Guest truly raved a...
bout our food. The filet was incredible and the sides were even better somehow! Highly recommend the Wisconsin Cheddar Mash Potato’s and Chef Meadley. I really couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience. Also, their table service was amazing. I recommend them to everyone!
We have nothing but fantastic things to say about Hoffman House!! We hired them as our catering vendor for our wedding in August and everything about working with them was a dream....
They were very generous at our tasting; only my husband could go and he was able to bring the leftovers home for me to try and let me tell you… they sold me on the leftovers!! Everything tasted phenomenal, even not being fresh from the kitchen! Then as we approached the wedding day, Kayla was incredible to work with. She was very patient and flexible as we made last minute changes to the head count and other details. She also was extremely responsive throughout the whole process. The day-of was completely seamless. The buffet set-up was very professional looking, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the food was DELICIOUS. The catering was BY FAR the thing that guests complimented the most. Lastly, the value for the money was completely worth it, the prices were very reasonable! Overall, could not recommend Hoffman House more!!
The food was excellent, the staff was professional, and the whole experience was a 10!
We had Hoffman House cater our wedding this past weekend - 9/7/24. I can honestly say that everything was SEAMLESS. We had the works! We paid for passed apps, plated dinner and a l...
ate night bite. Everything was exceptional- we had so many people come up to us and rave about the food. The wait staff was friendly, timely, and professional. Not only was the food amazing, but the customer service leading up to the big day was also incredible! We worked with Kayla. She helped set us up with a tasting, made sure we were on the same page through the whole process. I would recommend Hoffman House to anyone getting married in Northern IL and Southern WI! <3
Everything about Hoffman House is spectacular! Kayla was always prompt on communication and made sure every detail was covered. After our tasting we knew all the food was going to ...
be amazing AND Hoffman House knocked it out of the park on our wedding day. They handled all the buffet setup, details and place settings. I couldn't be happier with how it all worked out. Big plus, our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and how full they were :)
Thank you Hoffman House!
Just got married this past weekend and chose Hoffman House to cater our food. And wow!!!!! The food — from the appetizers we chose to all 3 meal choices was absolutely outstanding!...
! So yummy, I’ve never had better food at a wedding, EVER! I had several people comment the same thing to me throughout the night. We had our wedding on a family farm and the fact that this amazing staff pulled everything together in a box truck is beyond amazing to me. The service was great, communication was quick and very thorough, and quite honestly I couldn’t have been more pleased with the entire team and experience!! Thank you to you all in helping to make our day smoother and more delicious :)
I hosted my parents 50th wedding anniversary party at the Hoffman House. I cannot say enough great things about the entire Hoffman House team. I especially want to thank Kayla (Cat...

e at our wedding was raving about the food, which we did buffet style. They were also very accommodating for all of our guests’ dietary needs and had separate plates for them. Would definitely work with them again in the future.
I use their facility in Rockford Illinois and everything went wonderfully! They are very patient and helpful and they aim to make sure you have the event that you desire. I look fo...
rward to using their facility again. My wedding was absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much.
Everything was wonderful. Hoffman House has excellent food, it was hot, delicious, and on-time. Their staff is very friendly and professional and did an excellent job. the prese...
ntation for appetizers was beautifully executed, as was the buffet meal. We even wanted to add a "champagne toast" and they accommodated our request immediately. It was obviously added to the bill, but they didn't skip a beat in getting us champagne poured for every guest. Just a fantastic experience!
The tasting was absolutely amazing and we were worried what it would taste like the day of. Our concerns were not needed at all. The food was just as delicious, it was served hot, ...
and we received nothing but compliments. Servers and staff were also great. The customer service before and after the wedding was also outstanding- they met our needs at every turn. I highly recommend Hoffman House catering for your event!
We had them cater our cocktail hour & reception dinner. Everyone raved about the food! They were so helpful with bring extra tables, garbage cans, coolers, etc.. you name it, they...
took care of it! Kayla was a pleasure to work with. The entire staff was so friendly and courteous! They took their time setting up each place setting beautifully! Our venue for cocktail hour, even said that this was the first time that they did not have to clean up any garbage after a catering company had left. Everything was spotless!
I had my wedding reception here and everything was beyond perfect! The staff, food and room set up was beyond perfect!
From the first inquiry call to the day of the wedding, Hoffm...
an House was so accommodating and attentive. I had no worries and no stress. Legendary service from ALL of the staff. Ashley in the office was always prompt with responses and always kept me in the know of next steps. The Banquet Supervisor – another Ashley, was so attentive with what my guests would want. The dining staff were always assertive and hands on. I honestly can’t think of a time where I asked of anything, because they knew what my guests and I wanted/needed.
Our food was HEAVENLY! The meats were cooked to perfection – full of flavor and juicy. Vegetables were crisp and fresh. I could have eaten every side dish, salad and meat, as their own individual meal because each thing was my favorite thing.
We decided to have an open bar at our reception. As you would expect, a line would form. But the moment it looked as if it had 5 people or more, Ashley jumped in to help the bartender. The line was never long, and everyone was VERY HAPPY! Super-fast service!
We had an amazing experience here. I know that if I have another event, this would be my first choice. We had the best time, best experience, all thanks to Hoffman House.
We catered Hoffman House for our wedding June 12th. We absolutely LOVED the food! We were a little surprised at how early the food showed up (4:00) as our dinner was being served a...
t 7:30 but we did have cocktail hour that started at 5:20 so then we realized why. But amazing food and great catering staff! Highly recommend!
The Hoffman House was amazing!! They catered our wedding last month & we couldn’t have been happier with their service. With our wedding changes due to COVID, we only booked Hoffma...
n House 3.5 weeks before our wedding… in that short amount of time they were so helpful during the planning process! Julie was so responsive and patient with all of our menu choices & changes. The menu was so hard to pick from as they have such fun & yummy choices. The day of, LaVita and the Hoffman team were wonderful & friendly. LaVita was more than just the onsite supervisor, she was constantly making sure my husband & I were okay & taken care of. She was so sweet & we loved her! The whole team made our guests feel very safe (due to COVID) with the food during dinner. MOST IMPORTANTLY, the food was soooo delicious!!! Everything was perfectly cooked & served hot. We received so many compliments from our guests on appetizers, dinner, the dessert table & our late night snacks. We highly recommend them :)
I'm not sure that I will be able to articulately describe what a great vendor Hoffman House was! From the moment we reached out to them, to the original tour, to the tasting that i...
ncluded our parents, to the rescheduling 3 different times to COVID, to the actual catering of our wedding night, we could not have made a better decision! Julie was amazing to work with from the very beginning. She is very personable and wants to make sure that everything is perfect for your special day! Even when COVID first broke out and everything in IL was still so unsure, she would reach out and let us know HH was there for us and would work with us in any manner possible. Their onsite venue is beautiful and we loved the new chandeliers and chairs they got! Unfortunately due to COVID we had to change the venue and amount of people, but Julie and team were eager to meet any needs we had to still make sure our day went without a hitch. The onsite team arrived in time, were VERY professional the entire time, helped with things that we didn't even ask (helped move chairs from one location to another, helped bring the desserts to the reception tent from the house, and helped hide my husband and I right before the grand march!). Livetta, the onsite supervisor, was amazing to work with! Or should I say not work with! She knew from the very beginning to find our parents and ask them any questions, she told my mom that the brides already have enough to deal with on their special day and shouldn't be bogged down with any catering questions! How amazing is that!? Literally the entire team was a joy to work with and was more then we could have ever hoped for for our special day. We can't wait to continue supporting Hoffman House for our new date nights! Thank you so much Hoffman House!
I absolutely loved my wedding ceremony here. The staff were beyond kind and welcoming. It is a bit expensive but definitely worth every penny
We decided to go with Hoffman House as it is my husbands favorite restaurant and how personable Julie was when we first met. When we contacted Julie, she made sure to answer all my...
stressful questions that a bride comes up with (even days before our big day)! The other places I contacted did make me feel welcome or that they would answer all my questions that would come up. I am so happy we went with Hoffman and even our guests said how happy they were with their service. They noted that they would say "my pleasure" and keep their arms behind their back until they grabbed a plate. These little things were noted by many of my guests. I would recommend Hoffman for any of your catering needs! Contact Julie, she is the best. Thank you guys for an amazing day. :)
We made the right choice in choosing the Hoffman House to cater our wedding in the Madison area. The Hoffman House really delivered on the perfect menu for the food stations at ou...
r cocktail-style reception, as well as a wonderful appetizer display at our pre-ceremony cocktail hour. Julie and her team helped us to build a menu was fun but also thoughtful and delicious. Hoffman House is also very good at creating attractive, bountiful food displays which is very important to me -- I've worked with a number of caterers and this is not always the case, even their own websites will often demonstrate that. From our very first website inquiry, Julie followed up very quickly, and was extremely attentive and professional throughout the entire process. On the big day I was busy but did see the caterers going about their business with set-up and they had a very professional appearance and had no trouble at all acclimating themselves to a venue they'd never worked at before. My day-of coordinators later let me know that the Hoffman House staff on site was efficient, friendly, and helpful. I received numerous comments about how delicious the food was as well. Thanks to Julie, the chefs and staff!!
Choosing to have our wedding at the Hoffman House was an easy decision knowing how delicious their food is, but the great help and support from Julie and her staff was a pleasant w...
onderful surprise! They made everything run smoothly and decreased the stress of wedding day jitters tremendously!
Thank you again to Julie, our banquet room supervisor and our bartender for a fantastic and memorable moment in our lives.
Choosing to work with Julie and the Hoffman House was truly an excellent decision! We knew that the food would be excellent, but we were blown away by the thoughtfulness Julie and ...
her staff put into helping us plan for our big day. During our reception, Levitta, her staff, and even our bartender went out of their way to make sure our night was special and carefree. Also, the renovations to the reception hall are very nice! I highly recommend Hoffman House and would hapily work with them again in the future with other types of events.
We ran into a tense situation as our original caterer had to pull out a week before our wedding because of an emergency. The Hoffman House was recommended by the operator of our we...
dding venue, and I was relieved that they said they could help us on short notice. There was a lot of nervousness as we hadn't heard of the Hoffman House ...and especially since we wouldn't be able to have a tasting of any of the food because of the extremely tight time frame. But from the get-go Julie Bieber was extremely responsive in answering all our questions throughout the week. And when we finally tasted the food at our wedding, our nervousness turned to bliss. All the food was SOOOO fantastic--large portions, succulent flavors, and obviously prepared by a chef who knows the art of cooking. One of the items we had was smoked brisket, which was risky because it can be dry if done incorrectly. But ours was moist, juicy and full of flavor. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and saying it was the best they've ever had at a wedding. We agree. And I have to thank those who didn't show up at our wedding because it meant we could bring leftovers home and enjoy the food some more! Thanks Hoffman House--you were awesome!
Hoffman house absolutely killed it for our wedding catering. We were at a very unique venue that allowed us to bring in our own food so we could choose from anything in the area. W...
e went with Hoffman House because they were very flexible with their packages and made some great accommodations for our budget. We did a full plated meal plus appetizers and the food was incredible. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the portion size and how hot and fresh all the food tasted. If I could do it over again I wouldn't change a thing.
Shoutout to Julie Bieber specifically as she was incredibly helpful throughout the entire menu selection process. She was almost immediately responsive to emails and even worked with the chef to get one of our favorite recipes as a custom appetizer! You really can't go wrong with their catering service, so happy with our decision.
The staff at The Hoffman House is 5 stars +. I live in California and have had 2 events there in the past 6 months (80th B-day party & Wedding reception). Julie made everything...
simple and easy to do. She never made me doubt that even being so far away she was going to make sure everything was done perfect and it was! Then the day of both events we were blessed to have Levita as the lead. I can't say enough about how polite, professional and organized she was. She made me feel at ease from beginning to the end. I was able to truly enjoy both events because of Levita and her staff. I will always make The Hoffman House/Holiday Inn as my home when we come to visit every year.
We couldn't have been happier with the entire process of planning a wedding reception at the Hoffman House. Julie was wonderful from beginning to end. The day itself we perfect, ...
enhanced by amazing service and Levita's expert attention to detail and to our needs. I would recommend the Hoffman House for any event. It was truly a great experience.
Julie our event coordinator was a pleasure to work with. We had ceremony and reception everything was perfect. The staff was amazing, we had the pleasure of having Levitta for the ...
day and I honestly couldn't have asked for anyone better, she is definitely a 10. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Would definitely recommend.
Could not have been to a better banquet facility! On top of the new renovations to the banquet rooms, the food and service was outstanding! The presentation of the food was top not...
ch and was so delicious. The service was phenomenal to say the least. They kept up with clearing while keeping a smile throughout the night. The staff was so attentive and checked in with all guests to make sure they were enjoying their evening. Would definitely recommend using Hoffman House for any of your event needs because they really do it all!
This was one of my best vendor experiences! They were initially our second choice, but a bad experience with out first choice led us to Hoffman House. Boy are we glad! They went ou...
t of their way to answer my emails promptly, provide me consistently updated invoices and options. The food was absolutely amazing, I could have ate til I died! The staff was INCREDIBLY friendly. We had a buffet, but they served the two of us to make sure we got to eat, they checked up to make sure had drinks, and they were so incredibly polite and gave us a gift card for their restaurant as a gift. i highly recommend!!!!
A personal and professional touch helped make our choice of catering for our wedding at The Pavilion the perfect decision. Both Marissa and Samantha helped guarantee a delicious a...
nd enjoyable experience for all our wedding guests. All of our requests were met and in some cases exceeded. Their staff flawlessly executed a perfectly elegant event with class and grace.
We cannot hear enough about how great the food was at our wedding. Not only did everyone love the hors d'oeuvres (some people even asked for the recipe for the Swedish meatballs), ...
but the service was great! I worked with Marissa and not only was she incredibly responsive, she accommodated all of our needs! I highly recommend using them!
My Bridal Shower was thrown by my now sister-in-law and matron of honor. Being vegetarian, there weren't too many places in town that had many options. When she looked at the Hoffm...
an House menu, she immediately knew that they were the place. With over 7 (!!) veg options and an extensive catering menu, there were many options to choose from. Hoffman House was also great with decorations, letting us bring in whatever we wanted (other places she looked at, wouldn't let her bring in certain items like table cloths or our own centerpieces). Definitely a great space for a great price.
Hoffman House did a fantastic job with the food! Everything tasted great and was cooked very well. Before the wedding though the staff we dealt with were a little flaky, they kept ...
forgetting things we had already told them and even made a mistake in reserving the room that came with our package (the restaurant is adjacent to a hotel and in the wedding package you get a free room). The head waitress (Patty) we dealt with was great. She was always around for questions and did a great job making sure everything was timed just right.
I thought the staff at the Hoffman House was very professional. I was allowed to do and serve what I wanted. I did not have to choose from an option menu, which is what other place...
s in the area make you do. The food was excellent and again, the staff was great.;It is not the most updated look inside. However that is easily fixed. I got chair covers and decorations and it looked beautiful inside.
