absolutely incredible would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful and tasty event

I got married this past June and everything was amazing! During the wedding process, Sandra and Casey-Lyn went above and beyond to answer all of our questions. They were great communicators and helped alleviate stress that comes with planning a wedding. Everything went so smoothly the day of the wedding and guests are still talking about how great the food was. Bill Hansen Catering and Event Production and Villa Woodbine are simply the best of the best! read more

Our wedding at Villa Woodbine was better than perfect. We started our journey with Gen, Eva, and team a little over a year ago and the process has been beyond smooth. The team brought a level of professionalism and communication that was much appreciated, from planned check-ins to taking our random calls for questions we had along the way. The team does a great job ensuring that they can provide you with the vendors and catering that will make your night perfect. The food and drinks were beyond delicious and the best I have had of any venue. The staff at the venue were beyond attentive and professional, making our night stress-free and beautiful. If you want a venue that not only gives you a feeling of being in a secret gorgeous hideaway, but also with staff that will ensure your night is fantastic, pick Villa Woodbine. read more

Genevieve, Eva, and the entire Bill Hansen team were absolutely phenomenal. They are truly such an impressive group -- everything was thoughtfully planned, flawlessly executed, and completely seamless. It could not have gone any better. The food was fabulous, and from set-up to tear-down we didn't lift a single finger. We hosted an 80-person brunch at my family's home, and they hit it completely out of the park. Truly, any party after this one without the Bill Hansen team would be a miss. Bravo, 5 stars. read more

We carefully heated everything and apply the different sauces. Did the baked potato on a semi-steamed pot, and worked the butter, sour cream and slowly placed the caviar. The lobster appetizer could have been a meal. We steamed the fritters and the sauce separately. Steamed the Apple Torte and the Anglaise sauce in the container, them mixed when ready to eat. I have never had Coconut Anglaise this good in my life. At my last French trip had a couple of different ones with two types of vanilla but never with coconut. This is an English Cream that different chefs play with it. But this chef definitely made a delicious one! Needless to say the Lobster Sauce was delicate and creamy and amazingly tasty with a snappy taste. This Chef should have awards for the sauces and the meal...... They are all incredible, still licking my finger over the shrimp fritters and sauce They are all incredible. We devoured the filet mignon which was extremely tender and juicy. As you can see, we really enjoyed the extraordinary meal! Thank you and my complement to the Chef, well done! read more

Hello! I just wanted you to know how pleased we were with our event this past Saturday. What a great process it was from start to finish. We had excellent meetings with your staff and follow through from both Gen and Ruby, the ideas and execution were terrific, your staff was professional and attentive. You listened to all of my requests and ideas and then improved on them. Our family and friends were raving about the food, the bar, the desserts...all in all a great night! Thank you so much for making a fun and special event for us. Looking forward to having another party so we can use you again! read more

Everyone was fantastic to work with on the team! We look forward to having many more events with you!

Highly recommend! We had a 50 person wedding in a private venue. Bill Hansen handled the food, drinks and rentals. We said food and drinks were the most important thing and they made that a reality for us. We had 6 passed hors d'oeuvres, served dinner, open bar and coffee station. Our family still talks about the food and coffee! Even though the wedding was small and simple, the room looked elegant. Even my husband was surprised how nice the room looked! Thank you (especially Sandra and Amy) for making our small day so perfect and delicious!! read more

We were recently at a wedding at Villa Woodbine and it was catered by the Bill Hansen catering group. The Bill Hansen team was very well-organized and orchestrated an incredible and memorable dinner for 150 guests. The Bill Hansen team was prepared, had planned for the event, and was very appropriately staffed for an on-time service with a very high-quality product. The serving team was friendly, efficient, and very happy to accommodate any special requests. The quality of the filet mignon that was served was higher than any quality I've had in an actual restaurant. Understanding the challenges that make it very difficult to serve 150 guests all at one time with a somewhat limited kitchen at the Villa Woodbine, the Bill Hansen team pulled it off and had an A++ performance. Awesome job!!!! read more

okay listen up ... if you are looking for a caterer Bill Hansen should be your choice. They made our wedding on 3.25.21 a dream! Im going to highlight some bullet points from their exceptional service: 1. The most responsive vendor I worked with 2. Valentina is amazing, you will be so lucky to have her she definitely goes above and beyond. 3. They helped me with other vendors 4. Sample of different table setting (soo helpful) 5. So accommodating & flexible (i planned a destination wedding while in school, so i needed to pack alot of things into my short trips) Day of reviews: 1. Bill Hansen staff was at the ceremony (even tho different location) to assure everything was okay 2. Staff was so nice (my guest told me how kind everyone was and how attentive they were to the guest) 3. Staff had an amazing attitude (i felt like i made friends with 6 different staff members) 4. THE FOOOD sooo good!!! Like wow beyond my expectations. Definitely get the chicken quesadillas, bacon wrapped maduros SOOOO many more greeat things 5. Everything at the reception went so perfectly and it was such an intimate party. 6. I had a guest ask me a COUPLE weeks after the wedding where she could get some of the food bc she couldnt stop thinking about it. (need i say more) *when planning a wedding or event, lets be honest you pay a good deal of money - all you want is quality and service for what you pay for and Bill Hansen is exactly that (and more). Bill Hansen service is definitely defined by excellence. read more

Bill Hansen Catering & Event Production - personal cheeseboards !!! - Caterers Near Me - Miami, Florida

We ordered Passover Seder from Bill Hansen and Catering by Lovable's. I'm not gonna lie, everything was delicious. Best of all, everything we needed was included. The food was delivered on time. I set everything up on my own plates and had a Beautiful table set. It was my least stressful Seder ever, the food was delicious, everyone was happy and I didn't slave away in the kitchen for days and go to 1 million different grocery stores to get everything I need. I think this could be the start of a new trend. Chef Dewey is amazing!!! read more

We had the most beautiful wedding at Villa Woodbine! The food and service is incredible and went beyond our expectations. All of the staff are extremely responsive and professional. Gen was our event coordinator and made the entire process as easy as you could make it. She is truly an angel to work with. read more

Bill Hansen catering is incredible. We chose to do family style Italian for our wedding dinner @ Vizcaya and the team was so accommodating in helping to bring our vision to life. Thank you so so much for everything, what a wonderful experience from top to bottom. You made our wedding so memorable and unique. read more

We had the most magical wedding day and it was everything we could have dreamed of and more! The venue was so beautiful and the bill hansen team set everything up perfectly! The food was amazing and unique all of our guests loved it and said it was plentiful and the day ran so smoothly! Sandra was amazing in helping us every step of the way and answering all of our questions promptly. I would recommend them to everyone, you and your guests will not regret it! read more

Where do I even start! We recently got married at Villa Woodbine and Bill Hansen was our caterer. This whole process was absolutely amazing. From the day I met Ashley our coordinator throughout this whole process, she was just the sweetest. She was patient and answered all my questions, even if I had to ask multiple times lol. Leading up to the event she was always easy to get a hold of and always open and honest. We chose to do the Villa's summer deal that had been offered to us which made everything a lot easier on us since some of the vendors were included in this package (catering, florist, DJ, Tables, linens, outdoor AC tent). This made the planning process a lot more simple for me since I didn't have to go out and search for each of these. The day of the wedding everything went off without a hitch! As far as getting ready purposes, we didn't choose to get ready in the bridal suite at the Villa (we were a lot of girls) we wouldn't have fit comfortably with all the makeup and hair artists too. Anthony was our coordinator from the venue the day of the actual wedding and Ashley stuck around and helped out for a bit too. Anthony was amazing he made sure we had everything we needed and made sure to check in with us throughout the night to make sure we were doing fine. We actually got to eat the food at our wedding lol not just at the tasting and truly it was delicious! I am an extremely picky eater and always hate catered food, for months leading up to the event I had been saying how I just want going to eat at my wedding and I'd just Uber McDonald's lol. So when I got the chance to try it at the tasting I was SO pleasantly surprised! It was actually delicious from start to finish! The AC tent was an absolute lifesaver (and was actually really cold!) it was Miami summer hot out and everyone was extremely grateful for the tent. Although the dancing was outdoors, everyone was having too much fun to care about the heat at that point. I can honestly that everything turned out perfectly, I couldn't have imagined how seamless everything turned out! Huge thank you to everyone from Bill Hansen & the Villa! read more

We got married at Villa Woodbine on November 9, 2019, and while it is a special place, the Bill Hansen Catering team and our event producer Ashley Morales made it truly exceptional. Our guests are still raving about the food, commenting that it was delicious not just for wedding food, but for food food as well (the highest compliment!). Additionally, their staff was polite, friendly, professional and truly cared about their jobs. The week of the wedding, Ashley kept in constant with us and our vendors, ensuring that all details were checked and double checked. She and the entire team exceeded all of our expectations (and more!), and we had the wedding day of our dreams because of them. So yes, the venue is gorgeous beyond belief, but the added value and service that the team brings to the table is unparalleled. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the most magical and perfect day! read more

I had my wedding with Bill Hansen Catering at Villa Woodbine on January 22, 2021. The team is incredible! I worked closely with Eden, she is very detailed and and made sure to bring my vision to life. She made sure to answer any question I had in a prompt manner and made the wedding planning process go smoothly. My husband and I are foodies and are very particular when it comes to food but the food that was served on our wedding day surpassed our expectations! Our guests raved about how beautiful the wedding was and how delicious the food was. We can not thank the Bill Hansen team enough for giving me the wedding of my dreams! read more

In a nutshell: spectacular We are incredibly happy that we chose to work with Bill Hansen catering for our wedding. The entire team worked very hard, was willing to get in the weeds with us and importantly, was able to execute on a fully customized and complicated menu. I specially want to highlight the efforts from Sandra and Chef Dewey -- they worked tirelessly to ensure we got exactly what we had dreamed up. Given my wife and I are Chinese and Indian, we worked out a customized menu that touched on a fusion of flavors from both countries. To make things even more complicated, we also added on a late night bites menu of several American classic foods, given we both grew up here in the States. Bill Hansen was able to flawlessly create all of this; several guests were so impressed with the Indian portion that they thought the chef was an Indian-native! Obviously, pricing here is on the higher end, but even then Bill Hansen was willing to work with us to arrive at something very reasonable. We give Bill Hansen a glowing recommendation and couldn't be happier with how everytbing turned out. read more

I wanted to take the time to write a review for Bill Hansen and the great service they provided. Everything was very easy from the beginning. I ended up getting married at vizcaya during the pandemic after several postponements and I can honestly say I had a very smooth experience because of Sandra; she was there every step of the way and really helped with every unforeseen situation. She made me feel at ease in many situations and I'm truly grateful and very happy I chose this vendor. The food was perfect, the drinks were delicious and our bartender was fabulous! read more

Bill Hansen catering and Villa Woodbine were phenomenal. They dealt with three event date changes due to COVID-19 and never made me feel like a burden. Their flexibility, professionalism, and patience were outstanding. Valentina, in particular, took care of every detail, kept everything organized, and went out of her way to make sure that I enjoyed every minute of our wedding day, including the food - which she specially set aside for me (since I'm vegan). The venue is the most beautiful place in all of Miami - a hidden gem. The food was delicious, all the guests were raving about it. Everything was excellent. My day was more magical than I could have ever dreamed and Bill Hansen, Valentina, and their team are to thank for it. read more

Having our wedding at Villa Woodbine was a dream. Everything went flawlessly and was what we dreamed of and more. The venue is absolutely beautiful. With the lights, trees, and all of the decor it was so romantic and breathtaking. Ashley was wonderful working with us to prepare all of the details and was always willing to go above and beyond to help. The food is FANTASTIC. We had such a hard time deciding what to choose because everything we tasted was phenomenal. The service was great too. Our guests arrived early, and they began to serve welcome drinks right away while they waited. They also catered to us as the bride and groom. They brought us up platters of hors d'oeuvres to the bridal suite during cocktail hour, gave us an extra meal at the end of the night to take home, and even continued to make the welcome drink all night for me. Highly recommend! read more

This is our go-to place for holiday dining in this pandemic era. Great Thanksgiving meal -- fabulous turkey, over-the-top gravy. My spouse Kathy Martin makes a fabulous cranberry sauce, but Hansen's cranberry-kumquat was a close second. Also super desserts and dressing. Friends had a passover dinner from Hansen's that they was fabulous -- and plenty of leftovers. Chef Dewey Losasso makes this place special. read more

We have been to so many weddings with bad food, this was super important to us. BH and Thierry were top two choices and after discussing with our wedding planner who have done tasting with both, she said food by BH is light years better. We went with BH and absolutely loved our tasting, planning process, and food on the day of. Sandra was so accommodating with our requests and the team nailed it on the day of. This steak was the best steak at a wedding that my father in law has ever had! Thank you so much BH and sandra!!!!! read more

We had the most magical wedding at Villa Woodbine. Thanks to our producers Gen and Camila and the staff at Bill Hansen Catering, everything turned out perfectly and exceeded our expectations. From the food to the service and beautiful ambiance, it was a 10/10 experience.

Amazing catering company! My fiancé and I were originally supposed to get married June 2020 in Michigan but had to cancel because of COVID, we postponed our wedding and decided to do a destination with our closest family and friends in Miami, Florida. I came across Bill Hansen Catering through instagram and reached out, I worked closely with Sandra at BH to plan my wedding. She was amazing, very responsive and was willing to do anything to make the wedding happen, the food and service was absolutely incredible. Couldn't have done it without her and the BH team. I highly recommend having BH team for your event! read more

ALL of our wedding guests could not stop talking about the food! I remember doing the tasting and being blown away, but their execution during our wedding was beautiful, professional, and most of all delicious and of the best quality. We had guests asking if our food was catered from a local restaurant because they wanted to order from them after the wedding. Money well spent! And can we talk about Villa Woodbine and the staff? The villa is truly magical on it's own and took the wind out of me as I arrived and saw the final product on my wedding day. Ashley Morales worked with my husband and I for a year and was responsive, kind, helpful and honest. She made our experience unforgettable and we are so thankful for her! I can't say enough good things about the venue and food. read more

Melanie · married on 11/02/2019 5.0 The Perfect Miami Wedding I met Ashley about 2 years ago through a friend. After speaking with Ashley, she noted that she works at Bill Hansen Catering (very prestigious in the south Florida area). Ashley offered to take the day to show me 4-5 venues that they work with and we fell in love with the Deering Estate. Throughout the entire process of deciding plated vs stations, coffee bar, open bar and the food choices, Ashley was 100% on top of everything! She responded instantly to my emails and texts and we actually became friends through this process. It was also a fun trip to go visit her at her office (Villa Woodbine) because it was so beautiful. Fast forward to November 2, 2019 - our guests RAVED about the food, how it was so plentiful and warm. They RAVED about the hors d'oeuvres and welcome Mojitos. The guests said the coffee from the international coffee cart was some of the best they've ever had. And the bartenders were so sweet and made amazing mixed drinks. We are still on cloud 9 reminiscing about our perfect day and how the entire team at Bill Hansen Catering along with our wedding planner, The Creatives Loft, made our dreams come true (and stress-free). We can't thank you enough! read more

Villa Woodbine was the most incredible venue! Since the moment we drove in we felt in love with the magic of the venue! It was 1000 times more beautiful in person than in images, we fell in love with every detail, the courtyard, the backyard, the rooms, it was all just so perfect. The team was incredible, starting with the fact that we got married through the pandemic. Eden and Marissa were so helpful with everything even after having to postpone they were in constant contact with us updating us with all changes. Finally the day came and we got to say I do in front of all of our friends and family. Even in the middle of a rainstorm the staff made sure all of our needs were met. The raindrops made the clear tent even more beautiful. You plan for this day for such a long time expecting some things to go wrong but at this beautiful venue with this amazing team everything was PERFECT! read more

Bill Hansen is by far one of the best catering companies I have had the pleasure of tasting and working with. Their food is delicious and it showed through my guests' clean plates. We are very happy that we chose to work with Bill Hansen catering for our wedding. I always knew their food and service was great, but we still looked at other options to find the best price. At the end of the day, the difference in pricing was not by such a large amount. Their quality and professionalism is the reason I feel they are a 5-star company. A year prior to our wedding I contacted Ashley, the event producer. She was absolutely amazing to work with. She came to visit venues with us and show us what Bill Hansen has to offer. They are truly a total package when it comes to making your wedding day perfect and flawless! After postponing our original wedding date due to schooling, I didn't contact her again until a year later when we decided the gap out of school would be a perfect opportunity. The only thing was now we had 3 months to plan the wedding of our dreams. Ashley was so patient with all my changes and requests (and boy did I make lots of changes!). Every week, she was keeping me updating and constantly communicating with me in order to create the perfect menu and reception for us. It's a great feeling to hear from all my guest how much they enjoyed our wedding and we couldn't be more satisfied with our decision to work with Bill Hansen read more

We used Bill Hansen Catering as the exclusive caterer for our venue (Villa Woodbine). Eden was extremely professional and personable in helping us plan our wedding all the way from DC. She offered lots of helpful suggestions and assisted us with booking vendors (i.e. DJ, lighting, etc.). She listened to what we wanted and made an effort to make our special day perfect. Throughout the entire process (i.e. Initial meeting, tastings, day of, etc.), all the staff at Villa Woodbine went above and beyond As foodies, one thing my now husband and I were particular about was the quality of food. Having been to several weddings, we knew first hand how wedding food could be notoriously bad. Since we were paying so much out of pocket, we definitely wanted to make sure the food was good. Bill Hansen did not disappoint. Everything was absolutely amazing from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the entrees. We opted for the Argentine chimichurri and Chilean sea bass. Guests are still raving about the food to this day! Whether you book Villa Woodbine or another venue, I'd highly recommend hiring Bill Hansen for catering! read more

Sandra and the Villa Woodbine team were absolutely amazing. Everyone told me having an intimate covid wedding miles away from my home would be stressful. But as soon as I was connected with Sandra I knew I had nothing to worry about. Her passion and positive energy made the planning process effortless. Not only did she have lovely recommendations in the area but Sandra really understood my vision. Our family and friends were taken away by the delicious food and breath taking grounds. I hope to celebrate at another Bill Hanson property in the future. read more

The team here did an A+ job at catering our wedding! Out of everything, the guests complimented us on our food the most. We got the dim sum, florribean, and tapas stations, and they were all fantastic. More than a few guests said that they wished that they could have bought the salad dressing to take home with them. I'm very thankful that we were able to work with the Bill Hansen Catering team, and have already recommended them to a few of our friends! We also want to shoutout Eden and Marissa for supporting us with A++ care during the planning and execution phases. read more

Bill Hansen Catering and their event producer, Ashley Morales, helped make my wedding  absolutely magical. I got married May 26, 2019 at the gorgeous Villa Woodbine, and I am so grateful to have met Ashley when I did! The attention to detail, taste, aesthetic and professionalism is undeniably top notch. Bill Hansen Catering worked tirelessly with me to bring my vision to life and made the entire wedding process enjoyable and memorable.

We first heard of/had Bill Hansen last year at my sister's wedding... all I ever thought about was their amazing hors'doeuvres. OHMYGOODNESS! They were absolutely delicious! Fast forward to my wedding in February, I knew I wanted to have their hors' doeuvres, mainly for me . I had first contacted them 8 months prior to our wedding day & when I told them where I was getting married, they couldn't have chosen a more perfect event producer, Eden Bauer, as she also got married at the same venue (Estancia Culinaria, Redland, FL). She was super patient & worked w us to make sure we had exactly what we wanted & needed! God bless her, I had questions on questions but she made it sooo easy for me, I say me because I was internally stressing out!!! We had been studying their menu back & forth, day & night, to make sure we had the most amazing dinner menu for our guests & ourselves (we both are super foodies & loooooove to eat!) Once we chose our menu... the most fun part of our wedding planning finally came! THE FOOD TASTING!! Upon our arrival we were greeted by (& finally met) Eden & her event coordinator, Genevieve & they were absolutely wonderful in person. The hospitality that was given to us was like no other. Their venue itself was soo beautiful! We also met our chef, Chef Mary, who was sooo sweet! All the food tastings that were brought out completely BLEW OUR MINDS!!! Way better than I remembered! (We highly recommend the Blue Crab Tostones, Seared Tuna Won Ton Crisp Cup, & Brie Tartlets for hors' doeuvres) I cannot stop thinking about those!! We had chosen to do 3 dinner stations rather than the typical sit down dinner, we wanted variety & options for our guests & let me tell you, I couldn't wait for them to eat what we had selected. Everything was divine! We had also surprised our guests w a late night STREET FOOD station & my guests couldn't believe there was more food. I dream about the short rib Philly cheesesteak Now for our wedding day, our event supervisor Anthony, could not have been any more amazing & attentive to us & our needs, he made sure we had our plate of food, a full glass & always came to check if we had needed anything. I never thought I would have been able to have the wedding of my dreams w a BOMB ASS TEAM!!! I can't thank Bill Hansen Catering enough! Those who I mentioned & all the servers, bartenders, cooks, clean up crew YOU ALL ARE AMAZING!!! THANKYOUUUUUUU PS. All of my guests till this day continue to rave about the menu & have said that our menu was the BEST THEY'VE EVER HAD! read more

Since my last review of Bill Hansen Catering, I've been to numerous events catered by this company. Each event was spectacular. The service staff was professional, courteous and attentive. The food was excellent. I love that this company is consistent in their service and their service has always been top notch. read more

As a planner for over 20 years, I never hesitate to recommend Bill and his team to my clients. They always go the extra mile to make my clients happy. I chose Bill Hansen Catering for my own wedding 17 years ago and have continued to work with them through the years. Most recently, I partnered with Bill's team for a client's wedding at The Versace Mansion (Casa Casuarina). The weather was a challenge but the staff at Bill Hansen catering rose to the occasion, and together we modified the timeline to keep the client's event flowing perfectly. I was glad they were there. Their professionalism as usual, never wavered! read more

My clients made the best decision by selecting Bill Hansen Luxury Catering for their Wedding Day. As a planner, to find vendors who share your same heart for your clients its an amazing experience. Outside of the food being exquisite both in taste and presentation. We had the pleasure of working with Eden and Genevieve who were extremely helpful in every way needed throughout the entire process. The team was professional, pleasant, accommodating, knowledgeable, and responsive which is extremely important when you're the bridge between a vendor and your clients. Day of service was exceptional and seamless. All hands were on deck, even outside of the scope of assigned duties because Bill's staff understands the importance of teamwork which makes the difference in making your clients dream work. read more

We had an intimate wedding at Villa Woodbine on September 14, 2020. While we did not have the pleasure of having a full, sit-down dinner with Bill Hansen Catering (BHC), we did have the most delicious hors d'oeuvres! My personal favorite was the Petite Jalapeno Corn Muffin w/ Short Rib Ropa Vieja and my husband's was the Smoked Chicken Quesadilla- YUMMY! We also had the Grilled Cheese 2.0, which was a huge hit with our guests. The chef/s did a fantastic job and the servers performed their jobs with such graciousness. All while in the Florida heat, WITH FACE MASKS! We could not have been happier with the service we received from BHC. If you are considering this company as your caterer, they will not disappoint! read more
