I can’t even imagine what a chaotic mess the day would have been without Claire by my side. She was ten steps ahead at every moment—everything was laid out and ready for me, she sent thoughtful checklist reminders throughout the week, captured amazing B-roll footage my photographer couldn’t get, and handled both setup and teardown flawlessly. Claire is so much more than a “day-of” planner—she truly goes above and beyond.

They were so funny and kept us laughing all day long. Even when we were tired from standing, they made it fun. And the results show it, because the smiles in the pictures are so real. Nothing looks stiff, everything looks alive. My favorite is the picture of my husband spinning me around. The joy on our faces is priceless. I’ll treasure that forever.

WOW! The food was absolutely delicious, the Black Cherry Brisket was my favorite, and the soft pretzel bar was everything! Not only was all the food incredible, the communication and dedication their team had to making our big day special was amazing. So attentive both day of and in the planning process, I had such a specific vision for tableware and they delivered above and beyond! I highly recommend their services to anyone in the Chicagoland area!

Sarah is amazing to work with. We had a large backyard, outdoor wedding .. the day ended up being the rainiest day in June but Sarah executed the day perfectly. From the very beginning, She was so easy to communicate with, very helpful and always thought of things that I would never even thought about. If you are looking for someone to ease your mind, I recommend hiring Sarah for your big day, you won't regret it! Thank You Sarah!!!

Wooden Paddle Catering is Chicagoland's go-to for full-service wedding catering that's anything but ordinary. We roll up to your venue with mobile wood-fired brick ovens and cook everything fresh and live — wood-fired pizzas, chef-designed apps, desserts, and craft cocktails your guests will not stop talking about. We handle it all: professional staffing, full bar, rentals, setup, and teardown. Family-style, plated, or stations — you name it, we bring it. With 10+ years and 1,000+ events across Chicagoland, we've been to just about every venue in the suburbs. Serving the greater Chicago area within 50 miles of Lemont. 🔥

We hired Wooden Paddle Catering for our wedding and had a mixed experience overall. The food turned out delicious and the setup on the day of the wedding ran smoothly for the most part. Except cake was never served to tables and instead placed on its own table, which would have been no issue except they didn’t communicate that to anyone so most of that was wasted. Our servers and bartenders were fantastic. They were attentive, friendly, and made our guests feel taken care of throughout the night. However, communication leading up to the event was frustrating since the team often took over a week to respond to our emails and calls. Despite the slow responses during planning, they delivered on the day and we were happy with the final result. If you go with them, just be prepared to reach out early and give them plenty of time to get back to you.

I was a little sad about the rainy weather but Brian definitely knew how to cheer me up with his positive attitude. I loved how I was able to see some photos through his camera and I definitely felt like he’s a good hype man too ! He kept everything fun but professional.
