“We chose BDP to cater our September 2024 wedding at Firehouse Chicago and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an event caterer. Jasmine was such a delight to work with from start to finish in planning our event - from the initial quote and inquiries, our tasting, planning along the way, our final walkthrough, and execution day-of. We were so lucky to have found BDP and felt supported in our wedding planning process from start to finish. But most of all, BDP served up some incredible food and beverages. Finding the right food and drinks for our wedding was important to us, so choosing the right caterer and bartending staff was crucial. BDP sources their produce and herbs from their urban farm in West town, and the everything they made for our wedding was so fresh, inventive, and unique. Their food is 1000 times better than any you will ever have at a wedding - it's more like dining at a nice Chicago restaurant than eating the standard dry chicken breast most wedding caterers produce. We loved our meal and had multiple guests come up to use during dinner to comment on how good the food was. I'm still craving another bite of their tortellini! They paid such attention to detail with everything leading up to the wedding and several of our guest's special dietary needs. Everyone had something safe and delicious to eat, and we felt so lucky to be supported by them. The speciality cocktails BDP made for our wedding were also the best drinks I've ever had at a wedding- by far! They even did some special cocktail infusions ahead of time for a favorite cocktail of ours that we never imaged could be served at a wedding. It was so delicious, so unique, and just overall amazing. If you're looking for a wedding caterer, look no further.”

“Booking Late to the Lake as our wedding caterers was the best decision we made for our day. Their communication style was sweet, helpful, and quick to respond. They provided great suggestions to make our day even more special. The value they provided was outstanding - the food was beautifully presented and received 5-star reviews from our guests, who raved about the delicious flavors and attentive service. Our guests have commented multiple times a week since our wedding last month about how the food and smooth service made our day truly unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience.”

“We had Bellaru cater our wedding in September 2019. The food was phenomenal and presented beautifully! Maya was SO MUCH MORE than just a caterer. The attention she gave to every detail made my wedding perfect! The staff was very personable and professional as well as quick and efficient. Everyone went the extra mile to make my wedding exceptional and it was thanks to Maya and her team! Bellaru gets 10 stars from us!!”
