I used CBD for my December 2023 wedding at The Library at 190 S LaSalle. The services were impeccable. I obtained proposals from several caterers from the venue's preferred caterers' list and went for tasting with two caterers. CBD's pricing is competitive compared with larger caterers, and menu options and tasting experience were better than smaller caterers. Lots of great hors d'oeuvres. Erin is very responsive, organized, and flexible. We were able to customize sides for entrees. On the wedding day, the captain (Aukse) was extremely professional, competent and attentive. We fully trust her and went with her recommendations for an on-the-spot change. The set-up was beautiful without any supervision. Flipping from ceremony layout to reception layout was done quickly. I believe they collaborated with the florist very well. They were also nice enough to box leftover cake and entrees for confirmed guests who could not show up. I would definitely recommend CBD.

We deliberated a ton on choosing a caterer for our wedding. We were trying to stay on budget yet choose something we knew our guests would enjoy. Julie Bieber with Hoffman House went above and beyond to help us decide and honestly her generosity sealed the deal. Nearly everything we tried at our tasting was top notch on taste and appearance. We settled on a BBQ buffet with a few extras (hot cider and candy apple table) and it was a hit with guests. Several guests came up to me to say how good the food was, especially the appetizers. The service they provided was also fabulous! Everything ran smooth and one specific server (unfortunately I did not catch her name) made sure that my husband and I were tended to and got food. She even went above and beyond catering to my dogs. Anything I asked her for she obliged. I loved that she made sure all my leftover desserts were boxed up which I don’t even think was her job but she did it because I asked specifically. The servers even took the time to bag about a dozen candy apples for us to take home. I was just super impressed and happy that I chose Hoffman House. No matter what food we would have chose I have no doubt they would have handled it perfectly. Choose Hoffman House! They’re worth the cost and you won’t be disappointed.
