Maggie H. Sent on 07/10/2024Best wedding food we've ever had
Angie, Chef Paul, and their whole team made our wedding so magical.
Angie was incredibly communicative and typically answered any email I sent within 24 hours, she was also incredibly patient with our constant changes, and willing to give advice to someone who had never planned an event like this. She also went above and beyond for our specific requests and was honest and clear when we were asking for something impossible as well as helping us find an alternative.
Chef Paul made one of the most fantastic menus I've ever experienced. He was willing to work with us and took our little notes in stride. Paul was very helpful with our guests' dietary restrictions, and everything was incredibly creative in both taste and how it was served. Most importantly, every single guest said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. All the ingredients were obviously fresh and the meat was cooked perfectly.
The rest of the team was also fantastic, the service staff were consistently checking in to make sure everything was good for the guests. They were all very polite but also were fun, they joined us on the dance floor which made everyone's night! The bartenders were awesome at suggesting things to our guests and they did a great job with our custom drinks.
The TLDR, Best food we've ever had at a wedding, awesome service, great communication, super creative. 10/10 -

Brenda U. Sent on 05/27/2024You know it's good when your guest rave about your caterers!
Huegah stands out for their personal and intentional touch at every step of the process. From the initial conversation from Angie and Paul it was clear that they were as invested in making our wedding day as special as we were.
Seeing both of their smiling faces throughout the night felt like we were amongst family. And it was such a beautiful touch to receive our drinks by Angie during cocktail hour too. We truly felt so supported throughout the entire night.
All of our guests raved about the food, we honestly can’t list everything they said about each dish - from appetizers through dessert they were all perfect. The wait staff was also incredible.
We'd love to work with them again and would encourage anyone who wants an intentional and delicious menu for their event to go with Huegah! -

Flexible, Customisable, Worth Every Penny!
My fiancé and I ended up finding Huegah after our initial caterer was no longer able to. What initially drew us to Huegah was the fact that menus could be customised, which was very important to us because we wanted to have certain cultural foods. Angie and Paul did a great job listening to our wants and delivering. Paul worked meticulously to get us the dishes we wanted, even if he had never made them before! Angie was really easy to communicate with and super helpful in arranging decorations and choosing linens. Paul and Angie were super flexible, understanding, polite, and professional. I highly recommend working with them. Oh, and of course the food was delicious! We got so many comments from different guests of how good the food was or they were suprised at how much food there was! We went a little over our food budget to work with Huegah, but we are happy with our decision, because it was such a success and pleasant experience! -

Best experience imaginable.
We really cannot recommend Huegah enough to everyone. Paul and Angie made things easy from the start. The tasting experience was wonderful and Angie helped us pick out decor to truly make the vision come true. It was everything we dreamed of and more. The food was incredible and Paul makes things different than any other wedding. They worked incredibly hard and were truly dedicated to making this the best day of our lives. The staff they work with was so helpful throughout the day and we loved it. They would email us before we had to make decisions and would help us do everything the way we wanted. They were timely with responses and we never worried. Huegah went above and beyond with creating a memorable drink and food experience. Everything was far above standard and we cannot thank them enough! -

This review is difficult to write, only because we cannot say enough good things about Huegah. After receiving menus and information from countless other bland, similar caterers in Chicago, we heard about Huegah. As people, Angie & Paul are warm, fun, talented, tasteful and cool. They are far more flexible than anyone else to whom we spoke, and understood and granted our wishes with ease. The food was beautiful, unique and delicious, and many of our guests said that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. The main course was served family-style, which encouraged conversation among guests and allowed everyone to prepare their plate as they wished. (There was plenty of everything.) I wish we were getting married again tomorrow so we could hire them again. -

Hands down the best wedding food we’ve ever had. Paul and Angie truly made our dreams come true. Between the tablescapes, excellent bar and waitstaff, and delicious food, we cannot recommend Huegah enough. -

Paul and Angie were an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From our initial call, Paul overflowed with warmth and we only fell more in love with the pair of them at our delicious tasting a year and a half before the wedding. Paul and Angie went above and beyond, communicating with us frequently about little details, guest counts, linens, and menu items. They were also open to any ideas we had outside of their listed catering menu. Paul and Angie also did an additional walkthrough of our venue on their own to get familiar with the space before our walkthrough together. And when we had a miscommunication about external rentals, they were so understanding and made sure that we resolved things in a way that worked for everyone.
Not only are Paul and Angie wonderful human beings, they also turn out a beautiful event! Huegah did a room flip for us, ran our bars, and cleaned up at the end of the night. Our guests kept telling us how kind, positive, and helpful all of the staff were, and they made the whole reception a dream. If you’re looking for a kind, communicative, and quality team to cater your event, we highly recommend you reach out to Huegah. Paul and Angie take incredible care of their couples, and we are so glad they were a part of our wedding.

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 buffet of 150. They were so collaborative from day 1 and that truly shined in the weeks leading up to the weekend. 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 fresh 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! -

Ellen J. Sent on 05/04/2022Hire Huegah now!
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!!Huegah Catering Co.'s reply:
From all of us at Huegah, we thank you! It was an incredible pleasure to serve you and your guests. From beginning to end, working with the two of you, we couldn't have had better clients. Best wishes!!! -

The best caterer I’ve ever worked with
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 find 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!Huegah Catering Co.'s reply:
Thank you Jessica. It was our pleasure to serve you on such a special day. Best wishes on this wonderful journey, as you build your new lives together. May you have a lifetime of love and happiness. -

Paul and Angie are the most power-y 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! -
