Our Unique Wood-Fired Pizza Experience
Once you hire Wooden Paddle for your Elmhurst reception, we go to work immediately, ensuring your event runs like clockwork. We’ll coordinate with your venue well before the reception date to check out their location.
We’ll discuss with you and your venue representatives the best location to set-up our mobile kitchen and wood-fired oven. The oven requires a 12-by-eight-foot space, while our kitchen needs a 12-by-12-foot area in front of it.
Our custom ovens burn locally-sourced ash firewood at temperatures reaching 800 degrees. Your guests will get a front-row seat where they can engage with our super-friendly chefs and watch as they stretch our homemade pizza dough, assemble the pies with mouthwatering toppings, and fast-fire them for unbeatable fast and texture.

Creating a Special Day, You’ll Remember for a Lifetime
Whether your reception is held at historic Wilder Mansion or one of the city’s dozens of lush parks or stylish venues, Wooden Paddle will make it happen.
If your wedding is being celebrated at a location outside Elmhurst, our pizza oven will be ready to go! Wooden Paddle has catering connections with many first-rate venues in the Chicagoland area, including:
- Ovation
- Imago
- Firehouse Chicago
- Ellis House & Equestrian Center
- Warehouse: 109
- The BRIX on the Fox

One of our ovens can cook food that serves up to 250 people. Have more guests than that? We can handle it. We can bring up to three of our wood-fired pizza ovens to your location and set them up with our craft cocktail bar and pop-up kitchen.
We typically travel about one and a half hours or 50 miles from our Lemont kitchen; however, if your reception is a little, or a lot, farther, please call us anyway. We’ve been known to make exceptions.

All of our event scheduling is done on a first-come, first-served basis. Be sure to give yourself as much lead time as possible, especially if you plan your wedding on a popular date. For example, Saturdays in the warmer months are usually booked faster than those in the colder months.

- Set-up your menu tasting — We’ll be on hand to answer all of your questions and start formulating a plan to bring your vision to life.
- Provide your quote — Once we have a plan of action and your menu choices, we’ll furnish you with a quote. Your quote will be based on bar service inclusion, menu complexity, your guest list size, and how many servers you’ll need based on the service style you select.
As soon as the contracts are signed and you submit your deposit (online, in person, or by phone), that date belongs to you exclusively. We’ll add you to our calendar, and you can focus on the rest of your wedding plans and leave the catering concerns to us.
