We wanted to create a customized menu that would give our family and friends a more personalized, fine dining experience and Missy and the team knocked it out of the park - it was amazing! For cocktail hour, we had some fun bites - tuna tartare, lamb chops, shrimp​, mac and cheese bites, but each one of these was​ easy to eat and had a modern update to them - our guests kept telling us how wonderful they were! For dinner, we did a plated meal with a customized first course. My husband used to own a farm and they harvested sweet corn. Missy and her culinary team wrote an entire first-course​ trio based around corn as the ingredients - everyone loved it! And for entrees, we had a choice of halibut or filet which were major hits - and the vegetarian option was out of this world too! Desserts seemed to keep on coming. There were so many bites, everyone kept taking more and more and more - and they were so good! And it all ended with Chicago Style Hot dogs for our out of town guests and walking tacos - let's​ just say, no one went hungry. Missy, you and your team did an incredible job making the wedding come together. It was such an amazing evening and we could have not done this without you and your team!

My work ethic usually speaks for itself. I must be honest. Blue Plate has to be one of the most disrespectful place I work by far. They'll treat you as if your feelings isn't valid. There's slightly to no diversity.The workplace culture is toxic.. Hr doesn't care for the truth, they care about who they're friends with. Management is awful. A lot of people report incidents and it get swept under the rug. People literally get wrongfully terminated! END RACISM!

Could not have nicer things to say about working with My Chef and Jamie Walsh for our wedding day…read morecatering. We met Jamie at our venue's vendor expo and were immediately impressed by their services, pricing, and vast food offerings. It was a no brainer to book with their group! We had our tasting a couple months before our wedding day; which is complimentary to the couple and a $50 charge for any additional guest to join. They have you select 8-10 appetizers, 2 salads, and 4 entrees to taste at their Naperville location. They also have displays of china, silverware, glasses and more to help couples select what aligns aesthetically for their special day. Jamie worked with us to make small modifications to their standard offerings to make the food exactly what we wanted! Our wedding day came and we were floored by the quality/presentation of food, level of detail in place settings, and service from all staff members. We had multiple guests say that this was some of the best wedding food they've had, steaks were not over cooked, and food tasted fresh. Jamie also let us add desserts a week out to reallocate money from a couple of guests who last minute were unable to attend. Their team was even nice enough to service items not purchased through their group: disposables for the late night snack, display and refilling of cupcakes, etc. Overall, their group went above and beyond for us under Jamie's leadership. Our tables looked great, our food was wonderful, and their team was fabulous. We truly appreciate all they've done for us and could not recommend them more!

We worked with Hearty Boys for our February 2025 wedding and could not recommend them enough!…read more Alyson and her team were amazing and we were hooked from the first tasting. Alyson listened to all of our questions and concerns with guests' potential needs. One of our guests has severe allergies and Hearty Boys was well aware, ensuring our guest was well take care of, providing a delicious meal and not missing out! The food was delicious and we received raved reviews from our guests! A huge priority for us was that the food was hot. We all know that wedding food could either be cold and/or not flavorful, but that was not the case here. The presentation was also wonderful! Luckily, Hearty Boys has worked in our venue (Artifact Events) countless times and they were a well oiled machine. Even the venue walk through with Alyson blew me away; every detail was discussed, even the drinks for the VIPs and she made sure the bridal party and parents' needs were addressed weeks before the wedding. On the day of, everything was orchestrated perfectly. As the bride and groom, we also had our own server (Scott) and he was incredible! The staff was attentive to all of my guests' needs and it was great to see everyone so happy with all details. My friends even commented about how professional the food delivery was to every table. You should absolutely book Hearty Boys for your event. They know what they are doing and you will be happy with their service!
