    • Serves Evanston, IL

    Inquire with us about your wedding: hello(at)bigdeliciousplanet(dot)com. Big Delicious Planet, named the “Greenest Caterer in America” since 2013, is one of the most sought after Chicago wedding caterers for couples who want flavorful, vibrant food with sustainability in mind. We cater highly-styled, glamorous weddings, and romantic, vintage weddings at venues all across the city and intimate weddings, elopements, and rehearsal dinners in our own urban farm. During our growing season, we’ll use the produce we harvest for your wedding!

    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.

    We know you dream of an extraordinary wedding day. Let Jewell Weddings help make that dream come true. The beauty of a Jewell wedding is legendary. Whether simply stated or extravagant, every wedding we cater has the signature Jewell Weddings style, that “step beyond,” which has set us apart for decades. Our consultants are passionate about entertaining, combining creativity and expertise, so that even the smallest detail is not forgotten. With a knowledge of Chicago special events, extending beyond just weddings, we will make sure that everything, down to the last fork, fits your style.

    We couldn't be happier with the service provided by Jewell Catering. My now-husband and I first contacted Jewell 14 months before our wedding and loved them instantly. From the initial tasting, we were consistently impressed with their professionalism and quality. Everyone we worked with was a delight, both during the planning process and on the day of our wedding (we initially worked with Katherine and then Jennifer in the final stretch before the wedding). Throughout the planning process, both points of contact were always quick to respond to our queries, on top of any changes we should be aware of, and generally a pleasure to work with. I got a ton of compliments from our guests on both the quality of the food and the quality of the service, and I can't think of a thing I would have changed about their work. 10000% recommend!

    At Huegah, we believe that there is no client more important than you. When you work with us, we promise you our uncompromising attention to detail, food of the highest quality, and to be treated the way you want to be treated. We describe our cuisine as “dressed up eclectic comfort”. Our artful and delicious chef-crafted menu is guided by the season, inspired by you and your event, and begins with the freshest, hand-selected ingredients.

    We cannot recommend Huegah Catering enough! Our journey to finding the perfect caterer wasn’t easy—we initially tried another vendor and were disappointed even with just a small tasting for the two of us. But from the moment we walked into Huegah and met Angie and Paul, we knew we had found something special. From the very beginning, they made us feel welcomed, valued, and completely at ease. The entire experience was personalized beyond our expectations. Paul and Angie went above and beyond to accommodate every request—offering to drive to Wisconsin just to get Spotted Cow for our special day and even offering to follow a cherished family recipe from scratch if we wanted to include it in our meal. Their dedication, flexibility, and passion for what they do were evident in every interaction. They were the warmest and friendliest vendors we had and made our planning a joy! When it came to the food, they absolutely delivered. We chose filet and salmon, and every single plate was cooked to perfection—warm, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The quality was impeccable, and we lost count of how many guests came up to us raving about how much they loved their meal. The service was just as outstanding as the food. Paul and Angie were not only professional and attentive but also radiated joy, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. They seamlessly coordinated with all our other vendors, ensuring that every detail of our wedding night was perfect. We truly cannot thank Paul and Angie enough for everything they did to make our wedding so memorable. Without a doubt, we will be calling them again for any future family events. If you are looking for caterers who are passionate, accommodating, and will go the extra mile to make your event exceptional, look no further than Huegah Catering. Thank you, Paul and Angie, for making our wedding unforgettable!
