Hoffman House

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!

! 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 :)

ering Manager) for all her assistance in planning this milestone event. I also want to give special recognition to Michael Prosser for all his help during the event. Regards, Duncan

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.

rward to using their facility again. My wedding was absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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 :)

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!

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. :)

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
