    Chef-manned Pasta Bar

    Helgas helped bring my vision to life after another (more expensive) caterer told me it was not possible. We did a Made To Order pasta bar experience and it was exactly what I had envisioned. There were multiple chefs crafting dishes at a time so things went smooth and quick and the food was absolutely delicious. It tasted exactly the same as it did at our tasting and we got everything what we wanted from the quality of the food to the beautiful display. The only picture I have is from the tasting because I’m still waiting for pictures but it was an incredible experience from start to finish.

    Incredible Value & Incredible Service

    Michael & his team were INCREDIBLE. I can't recommend Helga's enough. Compared to other companies, Helga's provided more options and more staff for a better value. I'm so impressed with the quality of the food, the level of service they provided, and how wonderful they were to work with. They made the whole process so smooth and enjoyable!! Thanks to Michael & the team. The best!!

    Spectacular experience. Five stars!

    Every detail was perfection. The staff was incredibly professional....and super nice! So many of our guests commented on the staff. The food was seriously 5-star...no exaggeration. I loved working with Michael, and I couldn't recommend Helga's more.

    Couldn't have asked for better!

    Helga's Catering catered our wedding in May 2024. We cannot say enough great things about this company. Michael hosted us for a food tasting and walked us through all the options. He was very communicative with us during the entire process, answering all of our questions (promptly i might add!) even up until the day of the wedding, which we REALLY appreciated. We did not have a wedding planner and he made things SO easy for us. The catering team on the day of the wedding were amazing, and so attentive! The food was delicious and got so many compliments from our guests. The catering team was smooth and efficient and again, so attentive and caring. we would absolutely hire Helga's again, and HIGHLY recommend Helga's for your special event!

    April Wedding 2024 - Amazing Food & Service

    Nothing better than using local caterer's that know the venue and what they are doing after several years. Not only is the food amazing, the staff is generous, and the service was incredible, but as the bride I never had to lift a finger and ask where someone was. We had our meal and drinks set for us on the table ready to go. Michael, the owner, showed up to our event to make sure it was magical. During our tasting we even got to mismatch some of the plates in order to create a meal that aligned with what we liked. Everything seemed perfect and we had no leftover food since everyone thought it was incredible!
