Signature Catering by Ovy

eded to reach out to. Ovy, Ati, and their team were extremely kind and SO easy to work with. Our tasting completely blew us away! Every bite was incredible, and our bellies felt full for what honestly felt like 2 weeks after. On the wedding day, the food was nothing short of spectacular. We received SO many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was. Every dish was perfectly prepared and absolutely flavorful. I still dream about their butternut squash soup and wish I could eat it every single day! If you're a foodie like us and want your wedding guests raving, your taste buds celebrating, this is your team. Truly amazing from start to finish!

ut to 15+ for prices they were one of the cheapest, and the food options were so unique and delicious. In addition to the hors d'oeuvres and main meal, we added on a dessert table and coffee/tea and everything looked really nice. We also did a late night snack through Ovy! They were great with communication, professional, kind, and we highly recommend everyone reach out to them!

ng, they took the time to understand our wants and needs, and from there they went above and beyond to create the perfect menu for our multicultural wedding, blending Middle Eastern, Black, and White cultures seamlessly through food. Throughout the entire planning process, they stayed in constant communication with us, allowing us to adjust and refine the menu until it felt exactly right. Ovy and Ati made my husband and I feel like family every step of the way, and their care and passion for what they do shined through. On the wedding day, everything was perfect. The plating and presentation were stunning, and the food itself was out of this world. From the hors d’oeuvres to the salads, dinner, cake, and even the late-night snack, every single bite was immaculate. So many of our guests came up to us to say it was the BEST wedding food they have ever had and we couldn’t agree more. We are endlessly grateful to Ovy, Ati, and their entire staff for pouring so much hard work, love, and heart into making our special day unforgettable. They brought everyone together in the best way possible, through the love of food. There is truly no one better, and we recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for catering that goes far beyond expectations.

ourney was exceptional. Our wedding was at Wildman BT, and Signature Catering by Ovy proved to be outstanding collaborators from day one. When we first reached out, Ati took the time to get to know my partner and me—learning about our backgrounds, culinary goals, and vision for the day. They created a custom menu that beautifully honored my Maryland roots (seafood and crabs) and my partner’s Kansas City roots (barbecue). We had a tasting at their shop, and the food was phenomenal—full of flavor, perfectly executed, and truly exceptional. Honestly, we wondered if they could match that level of quality on the actual wedding day—AND they did, far BEYOND!! On our wedding day, the food was spectacular! We offered Crab and Shrimp Étouffée, Southern Braised Short Ribs, and Thai Coconut Curry as entrée options. Every guest raved about how delicious everything was—and our guests can be very particular when it comes to food! Beyond the entrées, the hors d’oeuvres and stunning charcuterie table were equally incredible. Signature Catering by Ovy truly delivered THEE best wedding food—period. We also had late-night snacks—sliders and mac and cheese—which were a huge hit! Seeing our guests dancing and then being handed a slider was so much fun, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Ovy and his team are unbelievably talented; their kitchen skills are second to none. Their attention to detail extended far beyond the food. One of my cousins, who has a severe Celiac allergy, hadn’t even planned to eat due to previous experiences with cross-contamination. Without us even asking, the catering team made her a completely gluten-free meal and explained how it was prepared to avoid any cross-contact. She was able to enjoy the celebration with everyone else. That level of care and thoughtfulness speaks volumes about this team’s excellence. Beyond the incredible food, the service was absolutely five-star. Everything was seamless, and the staff was magnificent—attentive, professional, and polished. A special thank you to Ati, who was incredible to work with from start to finish. He answered every question we had, helped us create our signature cocktails, and guided us through the planning process with kindness, patience, and professionalism. His organization and energy made me feel so much less stressed, and his support truly enhanced our day. In short: Signature Catering by Ovy, especially in collaboration with our venue team at Wildman BT, made our wedding unforgettable. We will absolutely use their services again. They are top-quality, classy, and absolutely exceptional. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

the heart of the home and food is truly a love language. Through extensive research, I stumbled upon Ovy and his team where we were in touch with Ati on the front end. This team is truly a hidden gem, as their online presence is not highly publicized, but if you have the opportunity to hire them for your wedding, we could not recommend them more. As we come from our Filipino bckground, Ovy and his staff have an incredibly impressive knowledge on enthic foods and were even able to provide us with options that incorporate our heritage, such as lechon, pansit, and Filipino barbeque. We were absolutely floored when we experienced our tasting at their office in Chicago, as they cooked and treated us as if we were part of their own family. Our wedding was held at the Brix on the Fox in Carpentersville, IL. We had just over 200 guests and we continue to hear nothing but incredibly raving reviews about the food, hospitality of the severs and bartending staff, and the overall welcoming environment they provided for our day. As this was one of the first encounters of Ovy Catering at the Brix, I was incredibly impressed with how seamless their communication was and how smoothly the entire operation was of our wedding day. We were asked several times by their staff if we needed food, drinks, or any other assistance outside of any catering needs. Their attention to detail is unmatched and it made me so comfortable throughout the entire process. My initial concern when hiring a catering company for our wedding is that the tasting would always taste great, but then the quality of food would be sacrificed on the day of the wedding due to the volume of guests. This was not the case at all with Ovy and his team, but rather quite the opposite. The hor d'oeurves, dinner, and sweets tasted even better and looked just as beautiful as well. I will never forget looking out from our sweetheart table and seeing the servers interact with our guests and it's moments like these that truly make your wedding day so special, when a vendor does not feel like "just an employee" but rather an extension of family in the room. If you do have the opportunity to work with Ovy Signature Catering, please do no hesitate to. They are truly such a genuine team of loving, hard-working, attentive, individuals who provide incredibly magical food, drinks, and service for couple's special days. We will never forget Ovy, Ati, and the entire team as we continue into our marriage and we will forever be grateful that fate brought us together to make such a beautiful day! Thank you guys again from the bottom of our hearts, you all are an incredibly special team! God bless all of you!

y, Ati, and their team more. Their speciality IS weddings and their pricing is competitive and the best value with the quality of food and service you get. From the first meeting we had with Ati, we felt so understood. He took the time to talk to us and got to know us individually but also as a couple. He understood how important our cultures (Mexican & Filipino) were for us and how important it was to have that represented in our food for the wedding. Then in our follow-up meeting he presented a curated menu that Chef Ovy had created for us and it was more that we could have asked for! There was Filipino and Mexican flavors throughout the dishes and we knew that they were exactly what we were looking for. Then, from that moment that we booked until the moment of the wedding, their communication and attentiveness was seamless. Ati was always available and would happily answer all our questions. They were not on the preferred list at The Arbory but once he was in contact with Shay (from The Arbory), the transition and coordination to have Chef Ovy as our caterer was so smooth. Then come the wedding day, their presentation was absolutely stunning. From how they’re arranged our sweets table to how the silverware was laid on the table, it was gorgeous. What made it better was how professional their service was throughout the night. Everyone was so in sync & coordinated, and you could tell they made a great team. To top it off, their food was DELICIOUS. To this day we still have family members and friends raving about the food from the wedding!! So, if you are still stuck searching for a team that is going to put you and your partner at the forefront and make you feel so heard, this is the team for you! *food pictures are from the tasting

about their clients and how they strive to customize the food and experience to each couple they work with. We were able to include both pierogies and cannolis in our menu as a nod to our families. The tasting was such a fun event! We had a great time trying all the different options and brought our parents along to make a night of it. We were able to include a chicken, beef, and vegetarian dish so all of our guests had an option and we got so many compliments from our guests on the food! It was hands down the best wedding food we've ever had! We even had a number of people who have tried to recreate the tofu curry at home! Furthermore, the service and bartending staff were incredible and everyone was so easy to work with. Booking Ovy and Ati was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process and we were so thrilled with how it all turned out!

ur cake, desserts, and late night snack as well. Ati was a great communicator and not only wanted the food to be great on our wedding day but also would check in and was willing to help with anything to make our Wedding day go smoothly! Ovy and White Stone Events - our venue- worked great together to make our wedding day the best day ever! All of our guests LOVED the food and service just as much as we did. We are so so happy we chose Ovy Catering for our wedding day!! Seriously don’t hesitate - just choose Ovy Catering, you won’t be disappointed at all!
