We used Hearty Boys for our wedding and had the absolute best experience. My now-husband and I are huge foodies, so finding the right caterer was the decision that was the most important to us in wedding planning. First of all, Andy is amazing. I spoke to a lot of caterers, but could immediately tell that Hearty Boys was different. There was so much time & attention put to our tastes and preferences as a couple and they even built our suggested menu based off of one of our favorite restaurants in Chicago. From the initial call to the tasting, we felt at ease at how much knowledge and expertise Andy and his team had. They are completely seasoned professionals at what they do. They were also very familiar with our venue and able to help us plan wedding day details (things we would have NEVER thought about!) to make cocktail hour and reception a perfect experience for our guests. And the FOOD! I got so many compliments from guests saying that our menu was the best wedding food they've ever had, and we saw so many empty plates to back that up. The food was delicious and the team also went to great lengths to help us accommodate guests with dietary restrictions. The staff executed the cocktail and reception flawlessly and professionally, from set up to service to take down. Hire Hearty Boys - it will be the best decision you make!

I can't believe it's taken me so long to leave Hearty Boys a review but it's probably because I don't even know where to begin with how incredible they are!
We originally planned to have our wedding in April 2020 but like many other couples, ended up being postponed multiple times. I can't even begin to explain how amazing, understanding, and reassuring Andy was throughout this process. It felt like he was there with us every step of the way and gave us so much peace of mind throughout every little hiccup. His communication and assistance (even with other areas of the wedding) was so beyond helpful and I'm not sure what we would have done without him.
When we finally got to have our celebration in April 2022, David was onsite with us and WOW, we couldn't have asked for more! David's attention to detail was phenomenal - he helped keep us on track throughout both the ceremony and reception, coordinated with other vendors seamlessly, and was just incredibly kind and caring and helped us feel at ease throughout a day that can be super stressful. He made sure we got some time alone before the reception and thoughtfully had a selection of our passed appetizers waiting for us! Andy also made a point to stop by during our reception, which was so kind and shows you how much everyone at Hearty Boys truly cares about the couples they work with.
Now, onto the food. After our original tasting I already knew that the food was going to be phenomenal but hearing it from our guests too was just the icing on the cake! When we chat with people now even 6 months after our wedding, they still bring up how delicious the food was! I know many of our friends and family members even went up to get seconds—it's that good!
If you're looking for a caterer for your big day, I would highly, highly recommend Hearty Boys! I can't imagine what our wedding would have been like without them and we're so thankful to Andy, David, and the whole team for helping make our wedding day as wonderful as it was. THANK YOU!

Hearty Boys were incredible for our wedding. Right from the start, the Hors d'oeuvres and speciality cocktails were amazing, and even left for us in our hideaway room after the ceremony. Next, we did a huge champagne tower for our grand entrance which they helped orchestrate fantastically.
Dinner we did Indian American fusion family style and people still talk about how incredible the food is - even the people who have never had Indian! Every detail was carefully thought out for them to have such seamless transitions and perfect orchestration.
They brought bartenders who were great. Their servers were excellent, we had wine service at dinner. And they even helped us get our late night pizza set up even though it wasn't their food! The desserts were also amazing. We used Hearty Boys for everything and were so happy we did because they did such a great job. We couldn't imagine having a wedding without all their support and the amazing food!
Highly recommend them as they're able to do whatever you're envisioning with your day!

I cannot say enough about how much I loved working with the Hearty Boys. Hearty Boys recently catered my wedding and they did an outstanding job. Food was one of our main priorities for the wedding. We wanted to serve food that was comforting yet elegant. The Hearty Boys delivered just that.
Literally every guest that I have spoken with complimented the food. They can't stop talking about how good it was! We had a mixed ethnicity wedding and many of my guests are not accustomed to traditional Western dishes, but they LOVED the food at our wedding. We went with a buffet and I saw many guests go up for seconds (and thirds!).
On top of that, the team was incredibly responsive and professional. Everyone was great to work with and they were all pros. Great team.
Thank you Hearty Boys!

Our venue had a set list of caterers we were allowed to work with and Hearty Boys was the one that fit our needs the best. I'm a vegetarian and my husband is a meat eater, so we wanted something not stuffy that was also delicious for vegetarian options. We had some communication fumbles with the company through the pandemic and then having us reschedule, but overall Dan and his team did a fantastic job at our unique wedding menu.
