Angie, Chef Paul, and the whole Huegah team are incredible! Food was one of the most important aspects to us for our wedding, and we are so thankful that we were able to work with ...
them. Huegah came highly recommended to us at another venue tour early on in our planning and once we booked our actual venue, we immediately emailed Angie and felt so lucky that our date was still available. From our very first call, we knew that they are different (better) than other caterers. Angie was so helpful and a great listener in that first chat, and a really reliable communicator in all the months after. When we had our first tasting and got to meet Chef Paul and see (and taste) firsthand his passion and craft, we were blown away by the presentation. Also, the intimate dining setting they create made us feel so special. We narrowed down our menu through email and one additional tasting, and they made the process so low-pressure and enjoyable. Angie and Paul were also instrumental in our planning overall. Since I didn't have a planner or day-of coordinator, I relied on their expertise a lot throughout the process and they helped us make so many important decisions. In particular, they took such a thorough and thoughtful approach to our venue walkthrough, where we sat down and talked through EVERYTHING, which helped alleviate the stress I had been feeling. They worked closely with our DJ, other vendors, and friends/family day-of to execute everything I had laid out in my final planning documents, from decor to schedule and everything in between. All the little details come together exactly as I imagined -- if not better -- and that is largely thanks to Huegah. My husband and I had an amazing, worry-free, beautiful wedding day, and we wish we could relive it over and over again. I can't recommend Huegah enough!
My partner and I are a bit of an unconventional couple, so for our wedding we felt inspired to serve an unstuffy and personal menu combining our two favorite foods: pizza and poke....
As you might guess, finding a caterer who was on board for our unorthodox vision was a challenge. After reaching out to numerous teams, Huegah was the only one that not only accommodated our outlandish ideas but embraced them. That's how we met Paul and Angie. Choosing them was the best decision we made; from our first meeting, they didn't feel like vendors, they felt like family, ready to wrap us in the best kind of hospitality.
Part of the magic of Huegah is their harmonious partnership. Angie is warm and precise, a thoughtful anchor who handles all the logistics. The kind of person who’ll gently caution you not to pick 5 different bright colors of napkins because it might look like a children’s birthday party.. It was that sort of energy early on that established a level of familial trust and honest feedback that we sincerely valued. Paul is the creative force and culinary genius. We’d share simple ideas or favorite flavors, and he would run with them, crafting thoughtful, nuanced dishes that reflected our history. For appetizers, he created personal nods to our lives, like mushroom satay (from my Singapore travels) and pierogi (honoring my partner's Polish roots). The desserts were also a massive highlight. They remembered a small detail we'd shared about our daily morning latte ritual and surprised us with miniature versions of matcha and espresso in tiny mugs. Selecting it as our desserts was a no brainer—it was the quintessential late-night caffeine boost for our guests. The ultimate, unforgettable surprise, however, came on the wedding day when we found tiny ceramic dachshund chopstick holders at every place setting (a homage to our dog Lu) This tiny, intentional act wasn't just about catering; it was about being genuinely seen and cared for in meticulous, wonderful detail.
If you want a catering team that works with heart, meets you on your level, and executes the food of your wildest dreams, hire Paul and Angie. They are simply the best, and we are so grateful they were part of our story.
Paul and Angie stood out from the rest from day one. They got to know us and helped guide us through the entire process. Our goal was to keep things fairly simple, but high-quality...
. They took our general ideas and crafted the perfect family-style menu for our wedding reception.
The day of the wedding reception, Paul, Angie, and their team knocked it out of the park. At least a dozen guests told us this was by-far the best meal they'd ever had at a wedding reception, and a few even said it was one of the best meals they'd ever had - period. And we agree - the food, wine, service, etc. were all fantastic.
We'll be recommending Huegah to friends and family every chance we get.

I am not sure I can express how amazing Huegah Catering is. They catered our wedding and absolutely knocked it out of the park. Angie and Paul are an incredible duo. They took so m...
uch time and care helping us curate the most perfect, custom, unique menu for our event. Our guests raved about the food, and their wonderful staff, all night! Their kindness and creativity made our night perfect. They have an incredible staff - all of them were so kind and professional, and awesome bartenders! Thank you to Huegah for all that you did to make our wedding truly magical. We are forever grateful!
If we could give more than 5 stars we would. I’ve been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years. I was super nervous about handing the whole day to someone else on such an impo...
rtant day. Every single detail was handled perfectly. From the ceremony set up, the dinner, service, the bar. Paul and Angie are amazing and so easy to work with. The staff they brought were just as wonderful. Even better… The food was AMAZING!! Ourguests can’t stop talking about it, we were so impressed.
When I say Huegah can make the best custom menu tailored to you & your partner (including a vegan kimchi that was so good people thought my Korean mother made it), I mean it! Multi...
ple guests told us that our wedding menu was the most unique, memorable and best they've tasted so far. We had a lot of specific, random ideas/requests and they were open to all of it and helped so much with the planning process! Not only are they really organized and communicative, they are super kind and warm from the very first contact. They were also very accommodating with a 2nd tasting to make sure the menu was perfect. Paul & Angie are truly a power duo and we are so grateful to them and their team for making our wedding visions come to life!
Huegah was amazing. They set up the most fantastic tasting of all we tried and, no exaggeration, they brought the flavor, style, and creativity we saw for the tasting of 3 to the b...
uffet of 150. They were so collaborative from day 1 and that truly shined in the weeks leading up to the wedding. Paul and Angie are a pleasure to work with, you cannot go wrong with them. We went with veggie forward and fun passed apps for the cocktail hour, family style seasonal salads, a HUGE taco bar (it was amazing like seriously so many different, flavorful elements) buffet for dinner, passed small desserts (we don't like cake) during dancing, and late night mac and cheese! They also made our signature cocktails of spicy and regular margaritas. Everything was a hit with our guests and us. They were instrumental in making the day run smoothly. I would work with them again in a heartbeat!
We could tell that Huegah was a cut above the rest from the very beginning. The tasting blew us away and the food was exactly the same high quality when we ate it at our wedding. P...
aul and Angie truly listened to us and helped us build a menu that was unique, delicious, and reflected the food we love. No other caterer within our price range offered such a personalized service and attention to detail. Their communication was always fast and professional and it was wonderful to work with both of them. All of our guests loved the food. Would recommend 1000%. If they opened up a restaurant we would be loyal patrons.
From first email correspondance to the serving of late night bites on your wedding day, the Huegah Catering team will not disappoint. It’s hard to write this review because Paul, ...
Angie, and their team do everything right.
When we were looking to hire for our April 2022 wedding in early 2021, we had sat down with a couple of catering companies in the Chicago area. It was Paul and Angie’s individualized attention and amazing food that made us choose them. I’ll do my best to summarize why you should hire Huegah in three parts. First things first, Huegah only caters one wedding each weekend. This is HUGE. Some other caterers are doing 3 weddings…a night! With Huegah, you can be certain that every little detail, every bite, that guests take will be amazing. Secondly, Paul and Angie work with you to develop the perfect wedding menu. Paul is an amazing chef and baker can make practically everything you could think of! My husband really wanted mini pizzas at our cocktail hour and chicken in a waffle cone (and falafel in a waffle cone) for late night bites, and Paul executed them with flying colors. Paul, Andrew keeps raving about the chicken and wants more. We may be reaching out to you soon! 😉 Lastly, the people at Huegah are amazing. From the owners to the servers and bartenders, this tight-knit team takes pride in everything they do. Like most couples, my husband and I almost forgot to eat or (neglected to eat) on our wedding day, they made sure we were well taken care of, and when they noticed I didn’t eat my meal, they so kindly boxed one up for me to take home with me the next day. Paul, Angie, and the entire Huegah team. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
We just worked with Huegah Catering for the first time this weekend for a wedding in Chicago and it was incredible!
Paul and Angie are truly a DYNAMIC DUO. They are veterans in t...
he industry and are a MUST for your wedding catering needs.
There’s an amazing yin and yang to their partnership, which results in an effortless experience when planning and coordinating with them. As a Wedding Planner/Coordinator it’s a breath of fresh air to have other vendors who value a “team” mentality as this always ensures an outstanding wedding day.
When you hire Angie & Paul, you get Angie and Paul. They are with you every step of way from start to finish. It’s evident that they have a heart for what they do and for their couples. You’re not just a number to them—your wedding matters, and they are there to bring their A-game. They are kind and not at all pretentious. They listen, take note, and execute a menu and a dining experience that is a cut above--reflecting your unique wedding day, style, and tastes.
Angie is meticulous with all of the details—from floor plans, seating charts, and meal choices to BYOB deliveries, service staff, room flips, and rentals, nothing is forgotten or overlooked. She handles every last minute change and every possible nuance with allergies and dietary restrictions like an absolute angel.
And the food. Can we talk about the food? ABSOLUTELY delicious. We eat a lot of wedding food, and trust us when we say Paul is a genius in the kitchen. Huegah's menus are perfectly crafted. Every dish comes out hot with perfect presentation and each bite has so much FLAVOR. From salad to main course and later for dessert and late night bites, you’re left wanting more.
Do yourself a favor and call them right now! You don’t want to snooze on this amazing caterer.
Paul and Angie were amazing to work with! I have already recommended them to a family member who will be working with them for their wedding next year. They were the most responsiv...
e and flexible of all of our vendors, which was particularly notable given that we had to postpone our 2020 wedding to the busy 2021 wedding season. The food was excellent day of, as was the service. Paul and Angie take on fewer events than the larger catering groups in Chicago, and it absolutely showed. Their attention to detail and thoughtfulness about making our day unique and specific to us (menu was 100% custom) was unmatched. They came recommended from our venue and we never looked back!
Paul and Angie were a true pleasure to work with from beginning to end! We are a mixed Jewish and Latino couple, and Huegah helped us tailor our menu to showcase the perfect combin...
ation of our cultures through the food experience with ceviche hors d'oeuvres, mini challah rolls, and plantains & chimichurri with entrees. Their food is of the HIGHEST quality with an amazing attention to detail on plate presentation (we all eat with our eyes first)! We were blown away during our tasting, and we understand the difficulty of replicating that quality for 150 guests, but they passed the test with flying colors. We had friends and family say (and we agree) that it was the best food they have had at any wedding. Both Paul and Angie were extremely responsive when we needed them, in addition to being super helpful with general wedding detail suggestions and alcohol delivery logistics even though they weren’t even providing the alcohol!
Paul and Angie are the most powerful of power couples that you most definitely want catering and organizing your wedding or event! They are so much more than caterers, and go above...
and beyond to make your day perfect and unique to you and your partner's vision. They were flexible and thoughtful in helping us replan our wedding several times as Covid came crashing into our 2020 plans. They practiced the safest levels of food prep and serving, working with us endless on creative solutions to still serve food in fun ways.
After vetting SO many caters for our 150 person (original pre-covid) wedding, Huegah checked every single box that no other caterer could. Fit in our budget, had unique and delicious dishes, provided the plates, linens, etc, printed menus, traveled, adjusted to our tasting needs, and were prompt and professional at every single step. Throughout the year and a half of planning we asked for so many additional things - gold silverware, fancier wine glasses, signature cocktails, upscale plastic flutes for outdoor use, custom bar set up, decor setup in venue, high tops and more. They delivered on everything!
We can't thank them enough for making the planning process seamless, the day special for us and our guests, serving up the most beautifully delicious food and drinks, and their overall professionalism. Thank you thank you!
Paul and Angie are the BEST choice and I can hardly put into words how perfect they made our day. We held our wedding very last minute - with COVID chaos, we had about 3 weeks to f...
ind a caterer, bartender, and servers. Paul handled all 3 seamlessly and him and his wife Angie care so much.
I wanted a cucumber jalepeno margarita to match our amazing taco bar and Paul worked hard the night before the event to get the recipe perfect ahead of the wedding. We had tamales and shrimp cocktail for appetizers, then 4 types of tacos (mahi, steak, chicken, and veggie), rice, beans, and corn salad. He also had tons of amazing salsas. Our guests are still raving.
He and Angie arrived early, were troopers carrying items 3 floors up (!!) and stayed late to make sure everything was spotless. They made our event magical and I hope they can make yours too!
My husband and I used Huegah to cater our June 2017 wedding in Evansville, IL. Our wedding location was about a 3 hour drive from where we lived and with our work schedules we wer...
e not able to make the drive to do a tasting before the big day. Most people would be a bit nervous making such a large commitment (the meal is a HUGE part of the big day, and often times one of the biggest expenses). To be honest, when we first reached out to caterers we felt that way too. However, Paul and Angie were an absolute DREAM to work with. They were insanely prompt via phone and email with answering any and all questions we had. Again, due to our work schedules, we had limited amount of time to chat via phone, but when we did, Paul was *on it* with the details. He asked us questions that really made us feel like he was catering OUR wedding, not just a wedding. He really wanted to make sure our food fit our vision. When we gave him the option of picking what he thought would work best with the rest of our menu, he hit it out of the park. I really cannot say enough good things about Paul, Angie and the staff they brought in for our wedding. Everyone was professional, cheerful, attentive, and generally nice to be around. We even threw a big wrench into the whole event when I found out I was pregnant 5 days before our wedding. We weren't ready to tell family & friends, but we told Paul and Angie. They discretely updated our menu right away. They even were able to grab some sparkling cider for me that visually matched the wine parings the rest of our guests were drinking during the meal. I genuinely could not recommend a better caterer than Huegah. You will NOT be disappointed!
If you are taking the time to read this review, you have found your caterer. Trust me! The moment we hired Huegah to handle our wedding, we never looked back.
The customer ser...
vice and attentive communication we received was second to none. We never had to wait more than a few hours for a response from Paul or Angie on any email. Paul’s calm demeanor kept me from becoming a Bridezilla and I had full trust in his abilities to run the show. He took our last-minute requests in stride and delivered everything exactly as promised – better, even. Leading up to the wedding, this was hugely important to us; as many other vendors were going MIA, we always trusted that Huegah was there for us.
But let’s not forget the FOOD. It was amazing!! We had our wedding tasting about 9 months before the wedding date and I could not stop dreaming about it. We wanted to hurry up and get married so we could eat everything all over again! It was important to us that the food at our wedding be delicious and Huegah blew our minds. Our guests raved about the melt-in-your-mouth short ribs, perfect chicken, and amazing appetizers. We heard from several friends and family members that the food at our wedding was better than any wedding dinner they have ever had. The event was several days ago now and I am still hearing comments about how good the food was! Everything tasted amazing and was presented beautifully.
I was the type of clueless bride that had no idea what I was doing, and I realize now I never needed to. Paul was taking care of me the whole time. When I arrived at the venue, everything was set up beautifully and the staff was in full swing. I felt the utmost confidence, and I cannot recommend Huegah enough!
