100% recommend!

Bernice, Jim, and their crew at 31 North made our wedding day amazing! The crew came to the reception venue the Friday before to set up the tables, the bar, etc. which was very helpful for us to see the dinner and cocktail hour areas all set up before the big day. On the big day, the staff was very attentive to us (the bride and groom) as well as all of the guests, ensuring timely passing of appetizers and fast serving of the dinner courses. Also, the dinner was nice and hot, showing that the final stages of cooking were completed at the reception venue just prior to serving. All of the staff were so kind. During the year leading up to the wedding, Bernice was very responsive via email, answering all of my questions and adjusting our proposal countless times with any additions or subtractions. She was also very accommodating when we wanted to add a few extra desserts, plate some of the dinner courses separately, etc. Overall, we’d highly recommend 31 North for any of your catering needs in the McHenry, Hebron, Woodstock areas of IL! Thank you 31 North!

Still on CLOUD 9!!!

Hello Bernice,

I didn't have a chance to leave a review yet from our wedding on May 6th. THANK YOU so much for helping make our day AWESOME!!! All the food was fantastic and everyone involved made the day fly by with the greatest memories, great times and not one complaint about anything. They even helped Adele take decorations off the arch and make sure she didn't forget them. We had never planned a wedding and the attention you gave to each and every detail was unexpected and greatly appreciated. Tony and the whole staff treated us all like family. You can count on many recommendations from us!!! We had the best day ever!!!
