- ESEric Simpson5 days ago5.0Excellent company and longtime client and friend who provides top notch service.
- CCCyndee CannonApr 22, 20245.0Helga’s caterers is outstanding. From the tasting to the wedding the staff was phenomenal and the food was out of this world. Michael and his staff were very professional and made our daughter’s wedding a day to remember. The table decorations were exquisite and Kristy made the whole evening a night to remember. I highly recommend Helga’s for any wedding or special occasion.
- MBMarlaina B.May 15, 20232.0The food from Helga’s was great. We enjoyed every bite (and the leftovers), and all of our guests raved about it. Some even went back for seconds! However, as hard as this is for me to write because the owner was so great, the service staff the night of our wedding was atrocious. The bartenders did not seem to have the faintest idea how to make any mixed drink / cocktail. Something as simple as a gin and tonic, guests were given vodka instead. They used the wrong mixers, told guests we didn’t have a certain alcohol even though it was right in front of them, and poured incredibly heavily. We stocked our own bar and ended up returning 90% of our mixers and only 4 bottles of liquor. This may sound like the opposite of a problem to some people, but when it comes to the safety of our guests, it was very concerning when I learned about all of this. Again, the food was very tasty, but it is incredibly mortifying to have paid for what was supposed to be a high level of service to learn that my guests had to teach the bartenders how to make simple mixed drinks or to show them where the drinks were. I also provided my own silverware and plates, (which we still have a lot of leftovers) and left everything for the caterers to use while prepping dinner. A guest dropped a fork, asked for a new one, and it took 20 minutes to get it. How could it take 20 minutes to find a fork that you put away yourself? They knew where they were. All around, a terrible experience when it came to the rest of the staff. Michael, the owner, was great, but overall experience from our wedding was not at the level of service we were expecting after all of our emails and in person conversations.
- KNKatrina NegroukNov 10, 20205.0I’m so grateful to Michael and his excellent team. With Covid our wedding plans had to be drastically modified and Helgas was the only vendor that worked with us to find a solution that worked for everyone. The communication throughout the process was amazing and food was delivered on time and setup quickly. In addition to the amazing service and communication, the food was excellent and all of our guests loved it! This was probably the only part of our wedding plans that worked out and I’m so thankful that we have at least this piece to remember our special day. I can’t recommend Helga’s enough and will use them again for future catering needs. Thank you again so much!
- ABAndrew BermanFeb 26, 20195.0We recently had a party that Helga's catered and the food was outstanding. A number of guests asked who had catered the event and even wanted to know if there were going to be any leftovers they could take with them!! Thank you to Helga's for helping to create such a wonderful evening!!
