Heidi's Events and Catering

Heidi's did such an amazing job at our wedding back in December. Jillian and her team were so easy to work with from start to finish. The tastings were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. It was an easy pick early on because they nailed every dish at our tasting.. and they were also able to accommodate to an Asian-inspired menu that we were looking for. Our guests loved the food.. the sea bass seemed to be a star, just like we knew it would. I have some phenomenal cooks in my family, so I knew it was a homerun when they were telling me how great the fish was. Another highlight was Angie - one of the staff that was designated to taking care of us on wedding night. Always there to get us a refresh on our drinks, making sure we had hors d'oeuvres set aside, and packing to-go food for us.. an absolute rock star! Thanks again to the Heidi's team!For reference, we have 152 total guests and did butler passed hors d'oeuvres and a plated dinner. If you're like me and you're worried about a large headcount getting the right cook on proteins, don't fret. Sea bass cooked to perfection and the beef cooked to the most beautiful medium rare - as it should be! And they also did an amazing vegetarian stir-fry. Of all the caterers we tried in AZ (and we tried all the best) they're the only ones that nailed the vegetarian dish. You'd be stupid not to at least book a tasting!

I used this company for my wedding. I must say that the appetizers and costumer service was fantastic. However, I would not recommend this company for the actual dinner. Very dry, bland, and unimpressive for the cost. I was disappointed with the quality for how much we paid on our special day.

Heidi's Events and Catering are beyond a bride and groom's dream for a catering company! If you're looking for a delicious dining experience for your big day, look no further than Heidi's. Their team was excellent from our first meeting to our wedding day. Everyone truly made our wedding planning experience virtually stress free! Which is always a juggling act when it comes to your guests. We cannot thank the team enough for everything!

I just attended my company Christmas party which was catered by Heidi's and they did an amazing job! The food was presented beautifully with a menu and it tasted fantastic! You can tell everything is made to order with only the freshest ingredients. And the servers/attendants were so nice. Great job!

I got married on Saturday and our wedding was catered by Heidi's! They were super flexible and accommodating to us as we have some family with dietary restrictions. One of our appetizers was a grilled cheese with tomato soup and it was incredible! I loved the eggplant Parmesan as well and my husband loved the dry rub beef brisket. All of our guests were pleased!

The rating "ok" is exactly how I would describe my feelings after working with Heidis's Events and Catering for over a year and a half. First and foremost, I want to clarify that my review of this business is purely coming from a place of wanting to give an honest and open review of my experience because I wished that I had, had this information before making the decision to hire this vendor. I spent hours researching all my vendors and hoped that I was making the best-informed decisions at the time.My husband and I knew from day one we wanted to serve pizza as our main dish for our wedding. Due to our wedding venue's limitations, we had to choose a vendor from their preferred list. To be honest, Heidis was the only vendor that served pizza. But based on the reviews it appeared as though it would be a good choice.The first initial consultation over the phone with their head coordinator was fantastic, Sammy was real, honest and so willing to make our unique food dreams come true. Because of COVID, we had never had a tasting with Heidis before booking but based on reviews we were willing to take the chance.Come 2021, we finally got to go to a group tasting and the food was delicious! Shortly after, I met with the head coordinator to discuss layouts, dishes etc.. and that meeting was so helpful and probably the easiest part of that week! Due to COVID, our guest count was 50% less than what we originally planned. With that in mind, the coordinator presented to us a total bill of almost the same amount as our original bill but with less food more staff. My husband and I do not have any knowledge of catering or staffing a dinner so we trusted the expert that if she said we needed additional staff then we did. However, looking back on it, that additional staff were not necessary and it felt as though Heidis wanted to keep our original bill amount the same as before so they just added more staff. Additionally, three days before our wedding, I received an email from Sammy with a breakdown of how much "we should be tipping". This seemed odd to me, my husband, and our married friends. Contacting the bride three days before her wedding about gratuity when the job has not even been done and on top of that the gratuity was based on our total bill, not just the wait staff. And after doing some deeper review of our contract, even the lowest-paid servers from Heidi's crew, and without a tip, make $35/hr. So my groom and I put that concern aside to enjoy our wedding day and would be making a clearer decision on tipping after the wedding was over and the job was done.Day of our wedding, the food was set up beautifully, on time and everything we had discussed was there. However, the pesto chicken we had, had at the tasting was different and my guests did remark that some of the pizza was cold, however; overall the food was well done. Less than 24 hours after we wed, we were on a flight out of the country for our honeymoon and I received another email from Heidi's regarding the "missing tip". So here is my takeaway from my experience with Heidi's catering based on my experience alone. The food is decent, and the service is great. However, the feeling we got that this company was hoping you don't pay too close of attention to the details does not feel ethically or morally right.

I truly stand behind our restaurant cooking with lots of love, caring about the quality of the food and kindness you should have with every visitor

Heidi's Events and Catering is a perfect place for a wedding and reception in Mesa Arizona. Highly recommended!

Leading up to the event things were great. Marissa was our primary point of contact and was very quick to respond to all emails and helped set everything up smoothly. However, I am giving them 3 stars for what felt like a bait and switch on the All American BBQ buffet we ordered (menu attached) in which they substituted pulled pork sandwiches for hot dogs. This is a drastic decrease in both the cost of meat received as well as the difficulty of the task. We could have easily done hamburgers and hot dogs for much less money but we wanted the pulled pork. Now I will admit that hot dogs were listed on the contract (one of the very small line items that was easy to overlook) but to have that be the only mention of change when pulled pork is the highlighted item on the BBQ menu (see pic below). UPDATE: The sales manager Jillian and I spoke and figured out the issues. They were very apologetic and their menus have since been updated to prevent this from happening to future customers. Overall I'm pleased with the remedy to this issue, however do recommend everyone learn from my experience and thoroughly look through all itemized portions of their contracts

I honestly don't know if a better catering company and I've worked with many. Heidi's catered the Celebration of Life for my father at our home with 75 guests. My Mom was very pleased and so were the guests.The food was amazing. Everyone raved.The presentation was terrific. The staff were phenomenal. We couldn't have asked for anything more. They were incredibly flexible too as we were earlier than expected from the cemetery. The never missed a beat.I couldn't be more impressed. One of the family said the staff were always very present but never intrusive. If you need catering Heidi's is the best!
