Bill Hansen Catering

ght a level of professionalism and communication that was much appreciated, from planned check-ins to taking our random calls for questions we had along the way. The team does a great job ensuring that they can provide you with the vendors and catering that will make your night perfect. The food and drinks were beyond delicious and the best I have had of any venue. The staff at the venue were beyond attentive and professional, making our night stress-free and beautiful. If you want a venue that not only gives you a feeling of being in a secret gorgeous hideaway, but also with staff that will ensure your night is fantastic, pick Villa Woodbine.

completely seamless. It could not have gone any better. The food was fabulous, and from set-up to tear-down we didn’t lift a single finger. We hosted an 80-person brunch at my family’s home, and they hit it completely out of the park. Truly, any party after this one without the Bill Hansen team would be a miss. Bravo, 5 stars.

and wonderful. We used Bill Hansen for food, alcohol, tables, chairs, diningware, cloth_things, and the dance floor (and this is what I can remember - there’s prolly more). Before the wedding: We settled on Bill Hansen as a friend of mine had used them in the spring on 2019 and they had great reviews. They were immediately wonderful at iterating through and replying to our requests and were very transparent about what changes would cost. Valentina was really fast with a reply and the communication was wonderful. The tasting was also great. Further, whenever we weren't sure where to get something, we’d reach out and they’d either give a good price price (e.g., we went with their dance floor) or they sent us in the right direction. Valentina was one of the most on-top-of-it people across most business I’ve seen - she’s a rockstar. During the wedding: The food was the bombdotcom.com (that’s right, two “dotcoms”). We did the surf and turf and the steak and the salmon were both incredibly well made. Everything else was also great. We went with a Caipirinha as a custom cocktail and they were really really good (my aunts leaned in on them maybe a little too much?). Finally (on thing things), they let us bring in a couple cases of Sam Adams to match the hometown drinks feel (did the Boston (Sam Adams) and Sao Paulo (Caipirinha) thing), and that made it that much more special. On the service thing (not the things thing), it’s been a year, and I don’t remember one interaction with the staff outside of the bartenders being amazing. I think this speaks to how amazing they all were - this was a highly effective staff who got the amazing food out quickly and whose bartenders never had a long line (something I was worried about beforehand). I can’t endorse Bill Hansen enough - the food/drinks and the service were all phenomenal. A special shoutout to Valentina - she was really great to work with.

s is some of the best food they've ever had at a wedding - everything was as good as it was at our tasting. I would highly recommend their team, catering was one area that we did not want to cut corners. Thank you!

sed on wedding day and more. The best thing about the Bill Hansen approach is that it's a one stop shop. They did all the rentals, all the food, all the drinks, all the wait and bar staff, all the load in and clean up, and it was just done, on time and with personal attention and care. For example, after the ceremony a waiter brought us a personal platter of every appetizer so we didn't miss out on anything while we did photos and talked to guests. And everything from the tables and chairs to the plates, food and drinks is customizable. They have a great showroom and tasting space at Villa Woodbine where you can go through everything and take your time to get the look and tastes that you want. The team was incredibly responsive, and all the guests loved the food (as did we). They accommodated a variety of rather complex allergies and dietary restrictions (veggie, vegan, nut allergy, dairy allergy, gluten free, and combinations of above). In short, can't recommend them enough. Thanks for making it such a special day Sandra! PS here's a surely incomplete list of everything the Bill Hansen team took care of for us: Tables Chairs and cushions Plates and glasses Cutlery The dance floor Bars Cocktail tables Ceremony chairs Linens and tablecloths All the food and drink, including desserts and coffee All the wait and bar staff

e full-service team had us feeling like we were well taken care of. On the day of the wedding, we couldn't stop gushing over how my Pinterest page became our reality. The operations team is incredibly attentive to the guests, and most importantly to us, ensuring we had a moment to indulge alongside our loved ones. The food was phenomenal! The party was so fun, and we can't thank the Bill Hansen Catering staff enough for making it so enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend and 100% would use again for any future event.

ackgrounds, incorporating our cultures into our wedding food was going to be important to not only us, but our families. We are so happy we had Bill Hansen on our team to make our wedding dreams come true. From the first meeting with Sandra and Chef Mary, we knew we were in great hands. Chef Mary is a culinary artist: she not only did the research to make sure she delivered authentic and tasteful interpretations of the Jamaican and Ethipioan dishes we wanted present, but she plated, decorated and served them in such a fantastic fashion, that truly delighted all of our family and guests. Sandra is a dream collaborator: she is so organized, efficient, and professional, and would work alongside us to make sure all of our desires were met. I cannot thank them enough for being part of our special day-we cant have imagined it without them!

to support, but BHC just raised the bar at every step. First, BHC's tasting was hosted in a gorgeous venue. The long-time owner, Bill, came out to welcome me even though I was surely a lower budget event for them. The food tasted spectacularly with looks to match. (Seriously I never thought chicken could be so uniquely delicious.) Chef Dewey was awesome. Accommodating, creative, and patient. But the highlight above all was Sandra Perez. She was such an anchor for us during our wedding weekend. Insanely responsive and will do anything to make sure your event goes smoothly. She went above and beyond on the wedding day to keep us fed and help out with other areas that were surely not in her scope. Ok, BHC wasn't cheap, but I love good food and it was so validating to have every guest tell me how unexpectedly amazing the food was. Highly recommend BHC, and especially the power combo of Sandra and Chef Dewey :)

everything was exactly how we wanted it and Julian for making sure everything was perfect coming out of the kitchen!

Thank you so so much for everything, what a wonderful experience from top to bottom. You made our wedding so memorable and unique.

od was amazing and unique all of our guests loved it and said it was plentiful and the day ran so smoothly! Sandra was amazing in helping us every step of the way and answering all of our questions promptly. I would recommend them to everyone, you and your guests will not regret it!

any wedding for that matter, ask for Sandra. She's great to work with, prompt to reply, knows all of the nuances of a traditional Jewish wedding, and is an all-around fantastic vendor partner.

out the food and their overall experience days after! Can't say enough about our planners Sandra Perez and Soco Alicea, they made even the most hectic 'day of' run flawlessly. 5 stars for venue, catering and planning!

ing with both, she said food by BH is light years better. We went with BH and absolutely loved our tasting, planning process, and food on the day of. Sandra was so accommodating with our requests and the team nailed it on the day of. This steak was the best steak at a wedding that my father in law has ever had! Thank you so much BH and sandra!!!!! -Jane and Kyle

when planning our wedding in Key Largo and our post-wedding brunch, and she was extremely accommodating throughout the entire process. I can't imagine a better caterer to work with for your wedding or any major life event!

easy to work with and any issue we had a long the way she found a solution for us. Our wedding weekend went smoothly and Eden and the Bill Hansen team were instrumental in it all!

e call which wasn’t always easy since the bride lives outside of the US. The food was delicious and the team that worked this wedding was so very helpful from the moment they arrived. Luis, the manager of the night’s event went WAY above and beyond and did not leave our side until we left to go home! Thank you for all the help you gave and for making my job as the planner an easy one!

food. I would recommend Bill Hansen to anyone for weddings or corporate functions. I am so happy that I was able to secure them for my big day. If you want your guests raving about your event food, then Bill Hansen is the caterer for you.

Bill Hansen Catering was amazing. Gen and Stef were the main people that helped us with all the details but they did not miss a thing! All of our guests loved all the decor and the food! You CANNOT go wrong with their menu, it was amazing. Super professional company and I would recommend them to anyone!

rocess. Working with Genevieve and Stefania and the whole BHC team was so easy and the day was everything we wanted! Our guests have not stopped talking to us about how good the food was and they just made our day so special. Cannot recommend them more.

sentation, and service staff. Never thought we would receive compliments from our guests on how well the service staff treated them. They may be known for their dishes and presentation skills or quality of ingredients but we were blown away throughout the entire process (tasting, planning, and the big day). The only hiccup we experienced (and the reason we knocked 1 star off for Quality of Service) was with the bartenders they provided to serve our signature cocktails which were an Old Fashioned (His) and a New York Sour (Hers)... instead of using the Maker's Mark bourbon we provided for both cocktails, they used Buchanan's Scotch Whiskey and about 4-8 sugar cubes per drink... Other than this very small detail, everything else was amazing and we would not only recommend them for your wedding, but they would be our first call for any major event we plan in the future. Cheers!

y were all fantastic. More than a few guests said that they wished that they could have bought the salad dressing to take home with them. I'm very thankful that we were able to work with the Bill Hansen Catering team, and have already recommended them to a few of our friends! We also want to shoutout Eden and Marissa for supporting us with A++ care during the planning and execution phases.

here - this is high end restaurant quality. Not only is it the best wedding food we’ve ever had, but the Bill Hansen Catering staff worked with us to create a unique menu based on anything we desired. We felt like a king and queen at our menu tasting and it will be a day we will remember forever (for being so incredibly happy and full!). We chose two of their classic stations, the Cuban and the Fire and Ice, but we also made our own station based on our travels to France, Spain, and Thailand. They absolutely nailed it and the green curry with rice was one of the best rated items on our menu! They were extremely flexible in working with what we wanted. Highly recommended!!

ed our catchup calls with her, meeting her, the tasting made us feel super special and on game day she and her team were rockstars. Our guests had the best time. The appetizers and raw bar were next level and the entrees were delicious. I recommend to all. From start to end they were truly unbelievable.

s experience!

cted with Sandra I knew I had nothing to worry about. Her passion and positive energy made the planning process effortless. Not only did she have lovely recommendations in the area but Sandra really understood my vision. Our family and friends were taken away by the delicious food and breath taking grounds. I hope to celebrate at another Bill Hanson property in the future.

The whole team at Bill Hansen is great! I can not even being to put to words how amazing Valentina was at Bill Hansen, she helped my dream wedding come true. From the 1st interaction she was so timely on getting back to me, worked with my schedule , created a special menu for our reception &tailored it to what we wanted, recommended vendors, helped me choose vendors (DJ, florist, planner), worked with me until the very last minute. I am telling you I was probably the most difficult bride with being in school and making a decision, Valentina was patient and helped me so much. I recommend the Bill Hansen team 100000 times you will not regret it. Every penny spent was worth it. Wedding Day: The staff was so welcoming and kind. Everyone was so nice. The waiters SO nice and accommodating. The food was great. I had a guest text me a week after asking me how she could get some of the food bc it was so good (thats the kind of caterer you want to be part of your wedding). I promise you this will be the best vendor you choose!!

nalism, and patience were outstanding. Valentina, in particular, took care of every detail, kept everything organized, and went out of her way to make sure that I enjoyed every minute of our wedding day, including the food - which she specially set aside for me (since I'm vegan). The venue is the most beautiful place in all of Miami - a hidden gem. The food was delicious, all the guests were raving about it. Everything was excellent. My day was more magical than I could have ever dreamed and Bill Hansen, Valentina, and their team are to thank for it.

al, and most of all delicious and of the best quality. We had guests asking if our food was catered from a local restaurant because they wanted to order from them after the wedding. Money well spent! And can we talk about Villa Woodbine and the staff? The villa is truly magical on it's own and took the wind out of me as I arrived and saw the final product on my wedding day. Ashley Morales worked with my husband and I for a year and was responsive, kind, helpful and honest. She made our experience unforgettable and we are so thankful for her! I can't say enough good things about the venue and food.

on but your heart. In and of itself, it is an absolutely breathtaking venue but it also gives you a blank canvas. This canvas allows you to bring your vision to life. Not only is the venue incredible, but the Bill Hansen catering is phenomenal. It affords you a multitude of options and the food is to die for. Numerous guests commented on how it was some of the best food they have been served at a wedding. Most importantly, if you have the chance to work with Valentina, DO IT. She is the best of the best. We would have another wedding just to work with her again (and hang out with her). We are not from the Miami area and she went above and beyond to help us. She understood our vision and connected us with the right vendors. She definitely went out of her own way to help us get everything we wanted. Thank you Villa Woodbine for the best night of our lives. It was by far the best wedding we have ever been to :)

de Valentina fueron de mucho apoyo.

hors d'oeuvres to their entrees our guests could not choose a favorite! Valentina was so accommodating and worked around our busy schedules to help us plan this special day, we can not thank her enough. She helped guide us through each and every aspect of planning our day and was able to make great referrals for a STRESS FREE, wedding at Villa Woodbine. We will absolutely be referring friends and family for any future weddings or events.

during the pandemic after several postponements and I can honestly say I had a very smooth experience because of Sandra; she was there every step of the way and really helped with every unforeseen situation. She made me feel at ease in many situations and I’m truly grateful and very happy I chose this vendor. The food was perfect, the drinks were delicious and our bartender was fabulous!

catering at that venue, but you never would have known it! Genevieve was so easy to work with and made sure every detail was taken care of. The day of cancellations were no issue and everyone LOVED their food - especially the sliced bistro steak! we had 105 people order the steak out of 120 and we had nothing but positive comments "the best food i have ever eaten at a wedding" and "The is the first time I have had wedding food that is actually still hot when it got to me" were some of my favorites. highly recommend!

m the food to the venue, everything was perfection. Highly recommend!

the other vendors. The food was absolutely amazing and one of the most complemented things at our wedding. The staff were all so friendly and so accommodating. We are glad we decided to do our intimate wedding at villa woodbine and would recommend them to anyone. Amazing job!

g my vision to life. She made sure to answer any question I had in a prompt manner and made the wedding planning process go smoothly. My husband and I are foodies and are very particular when it comes to food but the food that was served on our wedding day surpassed our expectations! Our guests raved about how beautiful the wedding was and how delicious the food was. We can not thank the Bill Hansen team enough for giving me the wedding of my dreams!

do a destination with our closest family and friends in Miami, Florida. I came across Bill Hansen Catering through instagram and reached out, I worked closely with Sandra at BH to plan my wedding. She was amazing, very responsive and was willing to do anything to make the wedding happen, the food and service was absolutely incredible. Couldn't have done it without her and the BH team. I highly recommend having BH team for your event!

4 weeks before our big day because of Covid. We decided to get married here in Miami instead! We found Villa Woodbine and Bill Hansen Catering after a bit of research, and the rest is history! We met with Genevieve at the venue (she is a rockstar, by the way) and planned our dream wedding in less than 3 months. They were able to see our vision and pair us with the most incredible vendors. From the food, to the decor, to the cocktails, everything turned out perfect and our guests are still talking about how beautiful it was. It truly was such a fun, easy, and wonderful experience! I wish we could do it all over again.

of the decor it was so romantic and breathtaking. Ashley was wonderful working with us to prepare all of the details and was always willing to go above and beyond to help. The food is FANTASTIC. We had such a hard time deciding what to choose because everything we tasted was phenomenal. The service was great too. Our guests arrived early, and they began to serve welcome drinks right away while they waited. They also catered to us as the bride and groom. They brought us up platters of hors d’oeuvres to the bridal suite during cocktail hour, gave us an extra meal at the end of the night to take home, and even continued to make the welcome drink all night for me. Highly recommend!

was the amazing staff, specifically Ashley Morales. She was an absolute dream to work with and helped us every step of the way. As non-frilly bride, I appreciated her realness and her tips and tricks, including vendor recos and decor touches. If you want a picturesque garden wedding (with amazing food and drinks) that will give your guests a unique experience and a taste of Miami's timeless charm, choose Villa Woodbine.
