    Fantastic food, easy to work with. What else do you need?

    Helga's catered our wedding in Middleburg last week. Throughout the entire process, they were helpful, communicative, and easy to work with. We had a lot of vegetarians and other dietary restrictions and they came up with an excellent, delicious, and affordable menu that had options for everyone. They helped us with the layout of the venue and even recommended a day of coordinator who was great too. At the event things went smoothly. All staff was polite and friendly - and seemed to be having fun themselves. We highly recommend Helgas and appreciate their help in getting our special day together!

    Exceptional service

    We cannot speak highly enough of you and your incredible Helga's team. The care and attention paid to every detail was so appreciated, especially towards us, the bride and groom. You were so easy to work with and patient with answering all our questions, and made us feel so at ease with the entire process, especially when the weather turned and made everyone pivot. You are the ultimate professional and we are SO THANKFUL for everything you and your team did. We adored Chrissy and her leadership on the day of the wedding, and all the staff members were so friendly and welcoming to all the guests. We received so many compliments on the food, especially the appetizers - they were a huge hit. Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. We highly recommend this company.

    Exceptional Food and Service

    From the tasting to the wedding Helga’s Caterers is top notch. Michael and his staff was phenomenal and the food was OUT OF THIS WORLD. The table decorations were beautiful and Kristy took care of us all evening long to make our daughter’s wedding a day to remember. I highly recommend Helga’s for any wedding or special occasion.

    Outstanding

    I would without a doubt recommend Helga’s Caterers. We used them for our 80 person wedding and did not skimp on food. The Asian station with Peking duck and vegetarian spring rolls were brought up weeks after the wedding. We had the pasta station and it was decorated with so much thought and care. The beef tenderloin and horseradish sauce was delicious. The staff including the bartenders were so fabulous and professional. I love this vendor. Michael was so great to work with from the taste testing to adding linens and glassware for the reception. His communication was effortless and I knew I was getting everything I asked for and more. Thank you for making my wedding day so special. This vendor is worth it.

    Absolutely amazing!

    My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed our whole experience with Helga’s from the start of the planning process to the wedding weekend. The owner, Michael, and his entire staff are incredibly professional & provide wonderful services. Everyone at our wedding commented on how amazing our cocktail hour & reception food was! Not a single item on the menu was anything less than delicious. Michael welcomed my husband & I in for a tasting early in the process which was equally delightful — himself & his staff were again so kind & professional. Every little change that came up during the planning process leading up to wedding day was quickly included & noted by Michael & team. We appreciate how accommodating & flexible this team was on a day where there are so many little details. We cannot stress how highly we recommend Helga’s for your wedding. You will not be disappointed! Oh, and the bartenders were awesome!!!

    Hurricane Ophelia wedding saved

    The weekend of our outdoor wedding, Hurricane Ophelia hit Maryland with driving wind and rain. At 9:00 am on the wedding day, we were told we had to find another venue. We changed the wedding venue 3 times that morning. Helga’s Caterers never missed a beat. They showed up at the new venue on time even though the new venue added 45 minutes to their trip. They made round table cloths look like they were meant for rectangular tables, including beautifully folded napkins. The room looked beautiful, the food was delicious and the service impeccable. Thank you to Helga’s for making the wedding that almost had to be canceled, perfect.

    Amazing food and service

    We had Helga's cater our wedding and everything from the food to the service was beyond our expectations. Everyone came up to us saying how good the food was the entire night! Besides the amazing food, the service was unbelievable. They helped set up the venue before we arrived and everything was set up perfectly. The service throughout the night was also very professional and well executed. I could not recommend them more for anyone looking to have a large event catered!

    Excellent Customer Service

    We've used Helga's in the past for several major family events and recently for our wedding, and they were amazing! Michael was able to make our vision come true and was very accommodating to help with minor by important details to make the event run smoothly. The staff were all extremely professional (like they always have been in the past) and I would definitely recommend using them to all of my friends and family. Thank you Helga's!!!

    The Worry-Free Wedding of my Dreams!

    Helga's Caterers were absolutely incredible. We did a very DIY wedding, but the one place we didn't skimp was the caterers. My fiance knew he wanted a Greek buffet, and Helga's "Big Fat Greek Wedding" menu was perfect. But even better than the food was the completeness of the service they provided-- extremely fast set-up and take down, bartending, cake cutting, creating beautiful displays of bread and cheeses, providing glassware, plates, tablecloths, napkins, everything. It was flawless service. They even made a plate of appetizers for my husband and me while we were getting photos taken during the cocktail hour and had a drink waiting for me!

    At first I was nervous that Michael didn't seem to be asking me a lot of questions about the wedding, but then I realized that he's done this so many times that he doesn't need to ask-- he knows exactly how to make a wedding run smoothly. I felt so comfortable and relaxed the day of my wedding knowing I was in good hands with Michael and with Helga's. It really was a perfect day!

    Five Stars!

    Helgas was amazing to work with from the first inquiry to post wedding. They were so responsive to all of our millions of questions and most importantly made delicious food for our wedding and rocked the bar! They were so flexible and receptive to our ideas. I would recommend them 100%

    Helga's is Worth Your Consideration

    Helga's Catering was a delight to work with from the start! They provided delicious food and a gorgeous wedding cake for our reception. Staff was professional, friendly and accommodating especially with a last minute allergy issue. Definitely recommend!

    Couldn't ask for more!

    Working with Helga's Catering was an exceptional experience from the moment we set up a tasting all the way through the wedding and clean up. All of our guests loved the food and the staff was very organized and friendly. They made our big day even more amazing.

    Delicious and Easy

    We had such a great experience with Michael and the team at Helga's catering. Their food was delicious (we had their Greek meal with a few tweaks like swapping out for a family pierogi recipe for cocktail hour and got a lot of compliments), and their prices are so reasonable. It's clear that Helga's has been catering events for a long time-- we felt like we were in great hands throughout the planning process and the event.

    Excellent Food and Excellent Vendor

    Helga's gave us a wonderful wedding dinner. Not only was the food delicious, but Helga's was able to make it happen in a location without water, electricity, or gas. They handled all the logistics - tent, etc, and everything they were responsible for went completely smoothly. They also attentively acted so that we (the bride and groom) got food, drinks, water, and cake despite how busy and occupied we were.

    They were even alert to errors made by other vendors and really watched our back to make sure the day went well.

    Helga's was extremely communicative and worked with us to have the kind of wedding we wanted. They clearly are extremely experienced and professional and I would definitely use them again for future large scale catering needs.

    Loved our experience

    My fiance and I chose Helga’s because the price was perfect for what we were receiving! We also chose them because we loved the idea of supporting a family owned business. Michael was extremely helpful and provided so much guidance during our wedding. All of our guests were RAVING about the food!! I would definitely recommend using Helga’s! You will not find a better catering company!

    Fantastic in every way!

    If you are considering Helga's stop looking and book! From Michael's accommodating and responsive communication beforehand, to the flexibility with dietary restrictions and seating changes, to the beautiful (and tasty!) cake, fantastic service, and special and personal touches like saving the leftovers for us and our out of town family, Helga's is top notch in every way! And that doesn't even begin to cover how competitively priced, delicious, and beautifully presented the food was!

    I would book them again in a heart beat.

    Helga⠹s is the best!

    I cannot recommend Helga’s enough! From our initial inquiry to even after the wedding day, Helga’s was incredible. Not only are they very communicative and easy to work with but the staff is so efficient, kind, and hard working. Truly a great group of people! Also the food was AMAZING! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the beef tenderloin and the mashed potatoes but everything was so delicious and served hot! Servers and bar tenders kept our guests happy and full the whole evening. They were on time for everything, helped with set up and making our table dreams come true, and made sure that our champagne toast went off without a hitch. I cannot recommend Helga’s enough!

    Wedding Reception

    We used Helga’s to cater our wedding reception. It was a small intimate celebration at our house. Chrissy catered our meal and she was amazing. When we returned from the church, she had everything set out and organized for our guests. The cocktail buffet with assorted fruit and cheeses along with Crabmeat Charissa tasted delicious! The dinner buffet with beef tenderloin, poached salmon and vegetable medley were mouth watering. Also very impressive was how Chrissy keep a nice flow to our special event along with cleaning up and storing everything properly. We were extremely pleased with Helga’s catering and definitely would not hesitate to use them again.

    If it’s not Helgas it’s not right!

    Michael and his team are the best.
    Helgas catering took my dream menu and made it a reality. My only disappointment was that I didn’t have more, BUT Helgas went above and beyond and made extra pulled pork for my husband and I a few days later for a great price so we could enjoy more pulled pork (it was seriously the best).

    From the set up to the food, everything was truly a dream!

    Affordable deliciousness

    Helga’s is a fantastic choice to blend value and great taste. The steak was fantastic and our guests raved about It, and they were flexible with us as we had to adapt several times due to covid contingencies. They were very easy to work with and gave us some wonderful personal touches - a beautiful $200 wedding cake, and they figured out how to engineer getting our heavy cake topper on without taking down their creation.
