We used Hearty Boys for an event on 9/11 at Union Station and they did an amazing job! Nicole and her worker for that day were so nice, on time and set up everything beautifully! Thank you!

Hearty Boys did such a fantastic job at our wedding, with the food as well as just consulting on the event itself. When we did our tasting, we knew pretty quickly they were the top, both because the food was several levels above what we'd tasted with other caterers, and because Derek asked us great questions…

The only thing better than the food was…

Hearty Boys was the BEST for our October 2025 wedding! Alyson and team were a joy to interact with. We left every tasting and conversation absolutely giddy and ready for the big day. Alyson was warm and knowledgable, which made crafting our ideal family-style menu easy and achievable. Everyone hit the dance floor…

I am a wedding planner and have worked with Hearty Boys several times. When it was my turn to get married, I knew they were my top choice caterer! I NEEDED to have their pork belly skewer at my wedding. Matter of fact, I received an incredible amount of compliments about the food itself but in particular, the pork…
