Ovy Signature Catering was the best catering vendor we could have asked for. From start to finish, Ovy & Ati have been outstanding.Having family style food served at our wedding was very important to us - plus my husband (Justin) and I wanted some different & unique foods for our wedding. We had a wonderful consultation with Ati at the beginning of the wedding planning process and we immediately knew we wanted Ovy to cater for us. We were invited to have a tasting with our friends & family and this experience put Ovy over the top; having a tasting with some of our most important friends and family, was so unique and special to us. Ati was an excellent host & Ovy whipped up some delicious dishes for us! One of their signature hors d'oeuvres was smoked eggplant w/ puff pastry, feta, cherry tomatoes & chives; I was not a fan of eggplant, but they assured me I would like this bite. Sure enough, this was one of our favorite hors d'oeuvres of the night! Absolutely delicious and our guests had never tasted anything like it - which was exactly the experience we wanted! We also had grilled cheese dippers with tomato soup - which our families have asked for the recipe. The Thai chicken skewers were also delicious.Throughout the planning process, Ati was a pillar of support for anything we needed. Since we were interested in bringing in full bar setup, Ovy & Ati helped facilitate getting the furniture and equipment needed for the bar setup - and this ended up being such a great feature at out wedding. On the day of the wedding the catering staff played such a key roll in making sure our day played out smoothly. We had designated staff serving the head table and they made sure we had enough food, water and beverages throughout the meal and never hesitated to ask if we needed anything. We got so many compliments from our guests about how kind and thoughtful the staff were - and typically this isn't something you notice at a wedding. But with Ovy Signature Catering, they bring 5 star, world class service, and it really goes a long way ?For our dinner we had a caesar salad w/ grilled lettuce. Most of our guests mentioned they had never tried this, but they thought it was the most delicious caesar salad they had ever tried! Plus, we had the most delicious short rib you can imagine + potatoes au gratin that made every guest speechless + perfectly cooked salmon with a beautiful couscous salad + our favorite dish: the Thai green coconut curry (V)! This dish was our vegan dish and was the most unique part of our menu and it was definitely a crowd pleaser. It was so great to be able to offer all our guests a little taste of something we love and the vegan guests at our wedding also loved it! Ovy/Ati even offered to individually plate the course for vegan/vegetarian guests which was so thoughtful.The dessert table was exactly what we dreamed of; something simple but tasty. The little dessert bites were the perfect cap to a beautiful menu!From start to finish - Ovy & Ati knocked it out of the park for our wedding and we hope to have another excuse to host a party with them some day in the future! Cheers to you and the team! ? ?

My husband and I had a multicultural wedding. My family is an all-American Christian family, and he is a first generation Palestinian-Muslim. Feeding both families something that is common and comfortable on both sides was quite a concern. But Ovy and his team managed to make a menu that everyone raved about on both sides of our families. 2 weeks later and we still have friends saying the meal they had at our wedding was one of the best meals they had ever had.The communication with Ati was easy and he eased all of our concerns throughout the planning process. The whole team the day of our wedding was so kind, patient, and fun. Shouts out to the both of the bartenders who kept us laughing all night and spoiled our 8 year old nephew with all the kiddy cocktails! I’d also like to thank the blonde server (I missed her name) who made sure I took time for me to eat some appetizers during cocktail hour.I cannot give enough praise to the whole team!! The only disappointment I have is that I can’t re-create their beet salad as hard as I try!

Ovy Signature Catering is the best of the best when it comes to wedding catering! From start to finish, working with Ati, Ovy and the rest of the team was such an enjoyable and seamless process. We could tell immediately how much they care for the couples that they work with and there was no doubt in our mind we made the right decision by working with them! Upon our first meeting they took the time to get to know us, our cultural backgrounds and used the details to put together an incredible wedding tasting menu. Everything was so delicious and just an exceptional experience - our hardest choice was deciding which of their amazing dishes we were going to select for our big day!We felt the love from the entire team through the entire process - they joined us at our venue walk-throughs at Wildman BT in West Town and worked seamlessly with the staff on site, helped us with our timeline, made last minute adjustments for us and assured us that no matter what requests we had they would do their best to deliver and they did 10 fold!The week of the wedding Ati texted me directly to make sure we were enjoying the week, offered to take on any tasks and assured us that we were taken care of so we could sit back and enjoy - it helped to relieve so much stress and I could not be more thankful for his kindness, attentiveness and his true concern for Brett and I on such a big weekend!When it came to the wedding day Ovy and the team provided 5 star service from start to finish - Brett and I had all our Hors d'oeuvres and a drink waiting for us right after our ceremony while the rest of our 200 guests enjoyed drinks from the incredible bartenders and 6 incredible Hors d'oeuvres through our passed cocktail hour. We have not gone a day since our wedding without someone telling us how incredible the food was! The entrees were served hot, timely and tasted even better than we had remembered it. We were even told that the presentation was like it was served at a gourmet restaurant - it truly was!Ovy Signature Catering is the best in the game and I would recommend them over and over again to anyone throwing a wedding! Thank you to the team for being part of the best weekend of our lives!

We had the pleasure of choosing Ovy Signature Catering for our wedding, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Initially recommended by Stan Mansion, our wedding venue, we couldn't be more thrilled with the outstanding service and culinary delights provided by Chef Ovy, Ati, and their team.Right from the beginning, Ati and his team exhibited an exceptional level of accommodation. Beginning our planning process 18 months in advance, they demonstrated diligence in getting to know us both as individuals and as a couple. This was especially crucial for us as we had several serious food allergies to consider. Ovy Signature Catering didn't just see themselves as caterers; they recognized the pivotal role that food plays in shaping the overall wedding experience.The personalized approach continued with a delightful tasting session where Ati and his team not only showcased their culinary expertise but also generously provided wine, allowing us and our friends to savor the full spectrum of their excellent offerings.Ati's hands-on involvement was evident throughout the planning process. His willingness to address every question without judgment created a comfortable and transparent atmosphere. Pricing details were laid out clearly, and any concerns we had were patiently addressed, ensuring that we felt confident and informed every step of the way.On the big day, Chef Ovy and his team delivered a performance that surpassed our expectations. Their professionalism, efficiency, and attentiveness to our guests were remarkable. They not only took exceptional care of us but also left a lasting impression on our guests. The food, crafted with skill and passion, was an absolute highlight, and people are still raving about it.Ovy Signature Catering not only met but exceeded our expectations. Chef Ovy, Ati, and their team's commitment to excellence, personalized service, and exceptional culinary creations made our wedding day an unforgettable experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Ovy Signature Catering to anyone seeking not just a caterer but a team dedicated to enhancing the overall joy of their special day.

We got married in December of 2023, and we don't have enough words to express the level of professionalism, thoughtfulness and absolute DELICIOUSNESS that Ovy and his team brought to our magical day. From the beginning of our planning process to the wedding day, Ovy Catering was amazing to work with.As two people who care deeply about food and embracing our cultures, we wanted specific dishes that reflected our families traditions. Our tasting dinner was an unforgettable experience, and we knew right away we found the right fit. Ovy and his team worked with us to create a beautiful menu that left our guests wanting more, and our wedding meals are still being spoken about amongst our friends and family to this day.Ovy Signature Catering is more than a catering company. They truly listen to your vision, make adjustments as you wish and communicate efficiently along the way, and ensure that your wedding day is just as you envisioned. Ovy and Ati are not only two amazing vendors, they are two amazing people who care about their couples!We would recommend them (and already have numerous times) to any couple who cares highly about the dining experience their guests receive on their special day!

The best ever! We are so happy that Ovy catered our wedding at Fairlie! I`m Filipino American and my husband is Chinese American and we wanted Asian and American menu. The food was out of this world! We had high expectation, because the Tasting was amazing, a real restaurant experience on its on merit, deserving of a separate review, however what we didn`t expect, that the food was even better at our wedding. We still get calls from our friends and family that it is the best food they ever had at a wedding!I also would like to say thank you for guiding us through the planning process and most importantly dealing with all the crazy changes with such a positive attitude.Thank you Ovy, Ati and your team for making our dream come through.

Best wedding food EVER. And I'm not just saying that because it was my wedding—so many of our guests raved about the food. We were looking for the most affordable caterer in the Chicago area, and were pleasantly surprised that Ovy was not only the best priced, but the best tasting food we could find. So impressed with the quality and presentation of the food and the amazing staff. 10/10 highly recommend.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Ovy Signature Catering for our wedding, and I can't express how incredible the experience was!The food was nothing short of fine dining quality – every dish was a culinary masterpiece that left our guests in awe. Even weeks after our wedding, people are still reaching out to us, raving about how delicious and memorable the food was. Guests even asked for extra and Ovy and his team happily delivered. Ovy, Ati, and their team truly elevated our special day with their exceptional culinary skills. Ovy and Ati were both so kind and helpful during the process and responsed quickly whenever we reached out. Ati even sent me a sweet text the morning of the wedding telling us they had everything under control and that my husband and I only needed to worry about enjoying our special day. The food was top notch and I only wish I could eat that good every day. Everything was hot and delicious (most wedding food is cold and bland) and that staff was so attentive during dinner service.We couldn't have asked for a better caterer, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience on their big day. Thank you Ovy and Ati for making our wedding a culinary delight!

I would give 100 stars if I could. Ovy and Ati were a pleasure to work with and the food was amazing. My whole family is from the Midwest and husbands family is Taiwanese and Pakistani so we asked for a mix of food and it was excellent. I still dream about the chive mashed potatoes and the tofu curry over a year later. They worked to create the perfect mix of comfort food from all sides of our families. We had amazing appetizers during the cocktail hour but the thing people still talk to us about today was the main meal. We had slow braised short ribs and chive mashed potatoes, butter chicken, and tofu coconut curry. We asked for halal meat and that was no issue. Ati even helped us with our table cloths, napkins and place settings! Our tasting was one of the best meals of my life. The day of the event went off without a hitch. I could go on but you will have zero regrets with picking them.

Ovy Catering made our wedding. From the small details to the big details the covered everything and made sure it was exactly what we wanted. Even when we did not know what we wanted they provided direction and options that made our choices easy and made everything go together. Not only was the food delicious but the service was amazing. The communication was another highlight of their company. No matter the day, time or reason, they always made themselves available to us. There is nothing we would change about our wedding and Ovy Catering is a huge reason for that. Ovy, Ati, and their staff was so friendly and hardworking. Our families are still talking about the food and set up. Thank you to Ovy and his staff. I would recommend them for any type of event.

To say it was a pleasure working with Ovy Signature Catering would be an understatement- the crew was both talented and professional, and the service was outstanding from the very first planning phone call to the last dish served at our special event. Ovy Signature Catering truly added the unforgettable taste we dreamt of for our wedding and our guests had nothing but compliments to share about their dishes.

We feel so lucky to have worked with Ovy Signature Catering for our wedding at The Hive on Hubbard. We felt like we were in good hands throughout the entire process of working with them and we could not have asked for better food at our event. Our guests raved about everything including the food and the service. This company truly cares about making your event as special as they can. We would definitely recommend them, they are the best!

I cannot emphasize enough how Ovy, Ati and team made our wedding spectacular. We had a very specific (and somewhat unusual) vision with cocktails, food and dancing starting before the ceremony (which occurred midway through the wedding).We explained to Ovy and Ati that we wanted it to feel like a party (no formal sit-down dinner), but still have a full selection of dinner stations that would satisfy the entire crowd.People ate whenever they wanted and spent the rest of the time mingling or on the dance floor. Everyone raved about the food and many went back for seconds (and thirds!). We chose to do an "around the world" concept with three stations: Middle Eastern, Mexican and Italian. This provided people with a plethora of choices and also gave many options to people with various dietary restrictions.Taking a non-traditional approach to a wedding can be risky, but this team made it a huge success!

To say we were impressed is an understatement. Ovy Catering did such a spectacular job! We wanted our food to consist of both Philippine and American cuisine, and Ovy was able to provide us with this custom menu!The entire wedding process was such an ease with Ovy Catering. From our meetings with Ati, to our delicious food tasting (which made narrowing the menu down rather difficult), and the communication during the few months leading up to our big day...they made our wedding experience from beginning to end memorable in all the best ways!EVERYONE loved the food! I think this may have been many of our guests' favorite part of the wedding, and quite frankly I don't blame them. Everything tasted so good! And the service was amazing! They truly made us and our day feel extra special!Part of me just wants to throw all kinds of events just so we can have them be a part of it! We 100% recommend Ovy Catering!!!
