    An exceptional experience from an exceptional team

    I come from a family that is big on good food - so when my husband and I were getting ready to marry last December, I was more nervous about the catering than really anything else we were planning for the celebration.

    We had the great fortune of meeting Meagan, one of the event specialists at Heidi's, at a few different open houses, before we'd event settled on a venue. She recognized us right away and asked how our search was going, which we admitted was stressing us out more than we realized, because of the uncertainty around in-house catering and arranging a tasting beforehand. To our delight and surprise, Heidi's was sampling some of their most popular dishes. We fell in love with the food, but Meagan is what sealed the deal. She kept in regular touch with us over the coming months, and any time we crossed paths she was so excited to see us. Meagan event went out of her way to be at our wedding reception, just after getting back in from a visit to family (who the heck plans their wedding the week after Christmas??), just to make sure everything was going smoothly.

    It wasn't just Meagan, though, that blew us away. The entire staff and the quality of food was incredible. Our expectations were met, exceeded, and then some. We also want to give special thanks to Elizabeth, our personal attendant for the night, who bravely fended off our family and friends to make sure that my husband and I were well cared for. We felt most triumphant when my Mom—a notoriously picky eater, when it comes to the quality of her meal—looked at us from across the reception and gave us a huge thumbs-up.

    Catering for any special event, especially something like a wedding, is a big spend and naturally can induce a lot of anxiety and stress. I mean it when I say that Heidi's was so worth the investment and we'll be talking about the food and service for years to come.

    Heidi's Events and Catering's reply:

    STOP IT, I'M CRYING!! What an amazingly sweet review, Karina!! You two were SO wonderful to work with!!!

    Amazing Job by the Heidi's Team

    Heidi's did such an amazing job at our wedding back in December. Jillian and her team were so easy to work with from start to finish. The tastings were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. It was an easy pick early on because they nailed every dish at our tasting.. and they were also able to accommodate to an Asian-inspired menu that we were looking for. Our guests loved the food.. the sea bass seemed to be a star, just like we knew it would. I have some phenomenal cooks in my family, so I knew it was a homerun when they were telling me how great the fish was. Another highlight was Angie - one of the staff that was designated to taking care of us on wedding night. Always there to get us a refresh on our drinks, making sure we had hors d'oeuvres set aside, and packing to-go food for us.. an absolute rock star! Thanks again to the Heidi's team!

    For reference, we have 152 total guests and did butler passed hors d'oeuvres and a plated dinner. If you're like me and you're worried about a large headcount getting the right cook on proteins, don't fret. Sea bass cooked to perfection and the beef cooked to the most beautiful medium rare - as it should be! And they also did an amazing vegetarian stir-fry. Of all the caterers we tried in AZ (and we tried all the best) they're the only ones that nailed the vegetarian dish. You'd be stupid not to at least book a tasting!

    Great Food Great Staff

    Heidi’s catering service is amazing, I was blown away at the tasting and had so much fun curating our menu. We chose buffet style and everything went very smooth, Heidi’s event staff brought us our plates which was awesome and we got to have a little bit of everything. They even signed our guestbook which I thought was a nice gesture.

    Heidi's Events and Catering's reply:

    Jazmine - Thank you so much for your kind review!!! You were SO WONDERFUL to work with, and I wish you all the best in your life together as newlyweds!!!

    Great Experience with Heidi's Catering my Wedding!

    Heidi's Events & Catering recently catered my wedding and we had a great experience with them! The food was delicious and we got a lot of compliments from our guests on it! I want to give a huge shout to to Meagan who was so amazing to work with, was very responsive, and helped us with our decisions when finalizing our menu!

    Heidi's Events and Catering's reply:

    OH MY GOODNESS!! You two were so amazing to work with and I'm so happy for the both of you!!!

    Catering 95th birthday party

    From planning to and including event day, Heidi's staff were professional and responsive. Dana and Chef Carlos were absolutely amazing. Dana served our guest of honor, birthday girl with compassion and respect. Chef Carlos was equally friendly , while creating our chosen menu items which were delicious!!! I would recommend Heidi's Catering for any event!

    Heidi's Events and Catering's reply:

    Thank you, Gail!! It was such a pleasure serving you and your family. We were happy to be a part of such a grand celebration! We hope to work with you all again soon :)

    Amazing Food!

    Heidi's was apart of an inclusive package with our wedding venue. We were given menu options via an electronic pamphlet for a plated or buffet dinner. There was also a tasting included in our package, so my husband and I were able to spend an afternoon at their storefront and enjoy some of their menu options. In our package we received 3 hand passed appetizers, and a salad, two entrees, and two sides for our dinner buffet. There were options to upgrade certain areas (we added a fruit and cheese display for cocktail hour). We also chose to do our desserts through Heidi's. We had an assortment of desserts like lemon bars, cookies and milk, chocolate covered strawberries, etc. We also had pans of cobbler and ice cream. The food was OUTSTANDING. Both my husband and I, as well as our guests could not stop talking about how great everything was. The service was also very good. Meagan, our event coordinator, was very responsive to emails and always suggested hopping on a quick phone call to work out any details and questions we had. We had a finalization meeting about 2 weeks prior to the event where we reviewed all of the selections and details. The day of staff was also incredible! The servers were extremely attentive to my husband and I and had appetizers and water ready for us as we were signing our marriage license and taking photos. They even made us our own plates as we did our grand entrance so we could begin eating right away and get started on our mingling quicker. They were all so kind and made sure we were well fed and happy throughout the day! We even received a big chafing dish of dinner leftovers in our bridal suite to take home that night!

    Incredible Food & Experience!

    Heidi's Catering was so great, from start to finish. The consultation over Zoom helped us narrow down what kind of cuisine we wanted, since they had so many options to choose from! Throughout the months leading up to the day, we made small changes to the menu and they were so accommodating with our indecisiveness. When we had gone in person to do our tasting, the food was so incredible, down to the presentation! On the day of, the food was just as delicious as we remembered, and many of our guests came up to us and complimented the dinner - we told them it was all the chefs at Heidi's Catering! Thank you for providing such amazing food for our wedding day!

    Heidi's Events and Catering's reply:

    Thank YOU for allowing us to be a part of your special day!! It was an honor!! We wish you the very best in your new married life!!

    We had an AMAZING experience with Heidi's!

    We had an AMAZING experience with Heidi's! I'm vegan, my husband is basically vegetarian, and we had multiple guests with similar dietary needs, AND we planned our wedding from out of state - the team at Heidi's (especially Jillian!!) was always so accommodating and professional in terms of setting up phone calls when we couldn't meet in person and making sure that there was plenty of items in our buffet menu that vegans and vegetarians could eat, while also providing great dishes for our meat-eaters too! I love how flexible and customizable the entire menu creation process was, and we couldn't have been happier with the food! Our guests kept complimenting the food throughout the night, and the service was phenomenal!! My husband and I didn't even need to go through the buffet line to get our food - when it was time for dinner, we had our plates in front of us with exactly what we wanted. And during cocktail hour when we were busy taking photos, I offhandedly mentioned to someone that I wish I could get my hands on another tomato bruschetta, and before I knew it one of the team members was waiting behind our photographer with an entire plate of bruschetta. Very sweet and attentive, and they made sure my husband and I actually ate on our wedding day! The team also packed up leftovers for us to enjoy back at our hotel after the wedding, which was SO appreciated. After dancing all night, it was great to enjoy leftovers in bed. Heidi's team went above and beyond and we would hire them again in a heartbeat!

    Excellent customer service and great food!

    Top notch quality service from Heidi's. We had a couple choices of caterers for our wedding and we chose Heidi's. They were super professional, organized, and we liked their huge variety of menu options. They accommodated for our vegetarian guests. The food tasted great, but on top of that, the servers at the wedding were on point. They were very attentive to myself and my husband and anything we needed. Loved the customer service. Great job!

    Thank you so much Alexandria!! It was a pleasure being able to take care of such an important day for you, your family and friends. We wish you the very best!! Congratulations to you and Andreas!

    They are the best!

    I worked with Marissa and she was more than I could’ve asked for! She thought of the small details that I lost track of, and made sure to stay in touch with me throughout the entire planning process. The day of our wedding they were very attentive and the food was delicious! I would absolutely choose Heidi’s for any of our future events

    Just Delicious!

    I got compliments from everyone about how yummy the food was. We went with their buffet style, Italian option. It was so yummy. They served us, the bride & groom and then guests went through the buffet. We added on the trash service. They were so tentative and so gracious. Highly suggest.

    Definitely recommend

    Back in March our outdoor wedding venue canceled our wedding due to heavy rain that week. The coordinator from Heidis was a lifesaver and helped us book an entirely new and better wedding venue the week of our wedding. She contacted wedding venues herself and sent me a list of ones that were available last minute and even fit within our original budget. I was able to meet and book a different venue 3 days before our wedding. Definitely impressed that she went above and beyond to save our event. I’m sure I would not have been able to find a new venue without their help. Thank you so much!

    Heidi's Events and Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much Samantha for sharing this review!! We were truly so happy that we were able to help you find a new venue that week and hopefully reduced the stress level a bit!! It was so great working with you. We wish you the very best!! :)

    Exquisite Wedding Day Experience

    Heidi's Events and Catering Venue was definitely the ideal place for our wedding ceremony and reception. The ambiance was very romantic and beautiful, and the facility fit our needs perfectly. The ceremony was magical, and I couldn’t have pulled this wedding off during COVID without Jillian Zeeb, Tonya Schmit, Adam Ziminsky, Shelbie Hess and the rest of the dedicated staff members. Jillian was awesome to work with going above and beyond ensuring all of our dreams were realized while coming up with awesome suggestions (that also helped with our budget). Her attention to detail was something that would inspire military generals! Jillian also took it upon herself to arrange our flowers and decorations just the way I envisioned. The food presentation was exquisite, thanks to Adam! The comments we received from our guests was that they felt as if they just dinned at a 5-Star restaurant and a wedding happened to break out! The staff servers were attentive to all the guests needs with the service being top notch. I strongly recommend Heidi's Events and Catering to cater your next event or wedding!

    02/22/20 Gilbert Wedding

    Jillian was a joy to work with. We met her at a wedding expo and she was so friendly and informative. It was a coincidence that Heidi's also happened to be on our venue's, Val Vista Lakes, preferred vendor list.

    We found it difficult to pick a caterer as many of them didn't do tastings before booking but we felt positive about Heidi's based on the reputation and recommendation from our venue. It also helped that Jillian was so responsive in getting us a quote and showing all of the options that were available for the menu and rentals. Also, because they had already worked at our venue we knew that there would be less issues on the day of.

    We ended up using Heidi's for our reception buffet and linen rental and had other vendors for our cocktail hour, bar service, and dessert. Heidi's staff were great with setting up our reception area and our DIY'ed centerpieces. They also worked well with the rest of our vendors.

    The food was delicious and the service was polite and quick with serving and clearing plates. They were able to serve 162 guests with a plated salad at the start of the reception and then we released tables for a buffet. It took about 30 minutes for all the tables go through the buffet line. We also requested separate vegan meals for 7 guests. They were supposed to be table served but I think there was a communication error and those guests had to ask for the vegan option at the buffet except some of those guests didn't know that we ordered them special meals.

    Overall, our guests had a great experience and we were glad that Heidi's was able to participate in such a great day with us.

    Heidi's Events and Catering's reply:

    Thank you Wayne for your detailed review! You both were a pleasure to work with and we are thrilled you enjoyed your day! We will talk with our service team to ensure those specialty meals are never missed - thank you for sharing that with us as well! Thank you again - we wish you the best!

    Delicious food with a huge selection

    Heidi's Events and Catering was one of the options that came with our venue. We decided to go with them because the food that we sampled at our venue's open house was delicious and also, they have a huge selection of what they offer. We loved being able to customize our food upgrades and they were very flexible in meeting our dietary needs. A few of our guests are vegetarian and we were able to select tasty entrees for them as well. We communicated with Jillian through phone and email and she, (or her assistant), always got back to us in a timely manner. On the day of the wedding, the buffet table that they set up looked so beautiful! The servers were very professional and nice. Our guests loved the appetizers and entrees that we chose, and weeks later, they were still raving about how good the food was. We would chose Heidi's again for future events and would highly recommend them.

    Delicious Food and Awesome Upgrades

    We loved working with Heidi's on our wedding! They came as part of an all inclusive package with Boojum Tree, and we are so grateful to have had them! All through the planning process Jillian was always prompt with answering our MANY questions and we loved being able to go to a complimentary tasting. They have such a huge variety of options and upgrades for all tastes/diets/desires. We got tons of compliments on all the food - from the passed apps during cocktail hour all the way through dinner. We were also so thankful for the upgrades they offer - we got chargers and colored water goblets through them and they added that special note of personality we were looking for.

    Great quality, food and service!!

    Heidi’s was amazing!! From our initial meeting to the set-up, dinner service and breakdown, we could not be more impressed. But MOST importantly, the food was amazing!! We offered our guests 4 choices - beef tenderloin with crab/hollandaise, mushroom ravioli, chicken Marsala & rockfish in a buerre blanc sauce and all of it was fantastic. 3 weeks later and we are still being told that is was the “best wedding food” anyone had ever had!! In a nutshell, Heidi’s was amazing!

    I couldn’t have imagined a better experience! Jillian was with us through the entire process and made us feel at ease so we were able to focus on just being so excited!! The staff was unbelievable the day of. They were attentive and really just on the ball. They brought our romantic wedding to life and we couldn’t thank them enough!! I highly recommend them if you want everything to go flawlessly for your wedding!!!
