Helga's Caterers

Helga's was the perfect solution to our 70 guest wedding in DC. They did an excellent job executing and providing tables, chairs, food, and drink for our special night. We highly recommend their services (and the food is excellent, too!).

Helgas was incredible to work with for our wedding. We selected the barbecue, for our rehearsal dinner, and created our own menu for the reception. Michael, Chrissy and team were very flexible throughout the entire process, any time I had an adjustment it was certainly we can do that. Their service during the event was immaculate, their presentation of food was gorgeous and the taste was incredible. They were prompt in their arrivals, and went the extra mile to make sure our guests were happy. Thank you all so very much for filling our bellys on our special day!

The food from Helgas was great. We enjoyed every bite (and the leftovers), and all of our guests raved about it. Some even went back for seconds! However, as hard as this is for me to write because the owner was so great, the service staff the night of our wedding was atrocious. The bartenders did not seem to have the faintest idea how to make any mixed drink / cocktail. Something as simple as a gin and tonic, guests were given vodka instead. They used the wrong mixers, told guests we didnt have a certain alcohol even though it was right in front of them, and poured incredibly heavily. We stocked our own bar and ended up returning 90% of our mixers and only 4 bottles of liquor. This may sound like the opposite of a problem to some people, but when it comes to the safety of our guests, it was very concerning when I learned about all of this. Again, the food was very tasty, but it is incredibly mortifying to have paid for what was supposed to be a high level of service to learn that my guests had to teach the bartenders how to make simple mixed drinks or to show them where the drinks were. I also provided my own silverware and plates, (which we still have a lot of leftovers) and left everything for the caterers to use while prepping dinner. A guest dropped a fork, asked for a new one, and it took 20 minutes to get it. How could it take 20 minutes to find a fork that you put away yourself? They knew where they were. All around, a terrible experience when it came to the rest of the staff. Michael, the owner, was great, but overall experience from our wedding was not at the level of service we were expecting after all of our emails and in person conversations.

We had a fabulous experience working with Michael to cater our 75 person wedding. Its clear that hes a prohe anticipated what we would need given our venue and made the process so easy. We got the Greek meal and people raved about the food! He was also very flexible when we wanted to change up the menu to incorporate some family recipes and adapt to unique layout of the venue. Overall I highly recommend working with Helgas.

Yesterday you catered a birthday party for our neighbors 5 year old daughter. I just want to let you know that it was great! The food was delicious and your employees were very pleasant and helpful. It was a pleasant experience for the guests.
