FrancoSushi 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Harwood Heights, IL

I am a private Sushi Chef with more than a decade of experience. I first learned the Japanese Art of Sushi in Venezuela. I continued practicing this multidisciplinary craft in 3 countries before I settled in Chicago, IL, where I live now. Sushi making is a very personal experience for me and I enjoy creating something unique with the food colors, textures, temperatures, and flavors.

I cannot speak enough good things about Franco and the experience he provides to his customers. He is communicative and clear in process leading up to the event. Once he arrives, he brings all of his own materials which takes hte stress out of a chef cooking in your own home. The food is absolutely incredible. He finds the freshest fish in the area and has an expertise in mixing flavors together. The most fun part is experiencing the chef cooking in front of you. This is especially fun for anyone with bar stools where you can watch him at work. He brings fun tools like blow torches and fryers to give you a full in restaurant like experience. And finally, nothing beats an evening with Franco himself. He is such an interesting person with a diverse set of life experiences. We could sit and talk to him for hours. In the past, we have bought a bottle of Japanese whiskey which we drink with him while he cooks. This is a great activity or date night for a special event like birthday or anniversary or just to change up your normal routine. We cannot recommend Franco enough!!!!

Cocina Fusion 

5.0

  • Starts at $10,000
  • Serves Harwood Heights, IL

We are a full service Chicago catering company with over 15 years of experience, specializing in a wide array of culinary expressions. We service all types of events including weddings, social, corporate, and non-profits. We offer full dinner service, bar services, interactive dinner stations, late-night snacks, and brunch menus. We have an expansive selection of menus for you to choose from, including Latin & American Fusion, Traditional Mexican, Taco Bar, and Italian.

The staff was so helpful and professional! We didn’t have a wedding planner, so I organized and labeled everything as best as I could and the staff set everything up for us - the centerpieces, the place settings, the favors, our cake table, and our altar. I was able to send updated seating charts to the catering lead Marcela to help coordinate meal selections and guests placements, as well as who to serve what. I really appreciated the flexibility when it came to my brothers - both of them have autism and can be picky eaters, so I asked to have two kids meals set aside in case they didn’t like the food. And even though both boys ended up eating the main choices, Marcela had their kids meals set aside in to-go containers for the road. Dinner was delicious and everyone loved the churro cart & hot cocoa bar. Highly recommend the beef barbacoa and pollo mole, and instead of bread we opted for warm tortillas! We loved the unique menu and how we had the option to customize the menu to suit our guests. We loved that we had the option to build our contract a la cart: we paid for the use of their liquor license and their bartenders for the night, but we supplies the booze and cocktail accoutrements, which saved us a ton of money since we couldn’t really calculate all the drinking guests we had. Table linens and flatware were included, but they did have options to upgrade for things like glassware. It was so relaxing to know how on top of it the team was so we didn’t have to worry. And with how expensive and confusing most chicago catering companies were, the affordability and transparency of Cocina Fusion was a huge relief. We can’t recommend Cocina Fusion enough.

First and foremost, let me be clear. The food was tasty, everything arrived on time and my guests were fed. End of day, thats all you could ask for. Right? So if that's all you need, then I think this caterer definitely checks all the boxes! There were some things we loved about this vendor and somethings we didn't. Starting off with the (many!) positives : - The day of the staff was professional and knew what they were doing - The variety of menu options were pretty substantial - We acknowledge that we were an extremely unique wedding with a really tight budget, we appreciate Danielle's communication and flexibility with us during this time. - Set up went exactly according to our notes and requests - Danielle was very knowledgable / experienced Some Negatives : - Over half of guests (especially family) recalled never seeing our late night pizza being passed around, yet somehow I went home with 8 boxes of leftover FULL pizzas. If we just didn't have enough pizza, that would have been on us. But the fact that we had so much pizza, that we actually had leftovers and over half my guests complained about not seeing the pizza, is upsetting. - We definitely had to repeat ourselves a lot to Danielle. In Danielle's defense, we had a ton of questions and our wedding coordinator started a few one off threads with her as well. So I'm sure it got confusing. But there were definitely times I had to answer the same question more than twice and it made me SUPER unconfident for the day of. Which just isn't what I needed to feel. - My sister made and decorated our cake. On the day of, she had to go into the kitchen to finish the lettering and she expressed that Nick not only made her uncomfortable with his active hostility to the team, but also started adjusting parts of her cake presentation before she could finish. - I want to stress that we were definitely difficult in the sense that our budget was SO small and we needed to count every penny. Danielle revised our estimate so many times in the very beginning, which was so great! But one month before our wedding we needed to refine the meal plan again (which is allowed!). But she refused to revise our estimate until the week of the wedding. Which if you have all the money in the world, fine you can wait until the week of. But if you're struggling to make the ends of your wedding meet, then yeah. Pretty hard to wait until the week before. Near the end, every communication with Danielle felt like she was frustrated and over us. We KNOW we are not her only wedding, and we know we were not her biggest spenders. But near the end the team started making us feel more like a nuisance than a client. We spent the month of our wedding in fear of being dropped. - Danielle knew we were at our wits end with money. Which is why we found it extremely distasteful that she contacted us to ask why we didn't tip. For the record, we had every intention of tipping after the wedding via zelle, but needed to wait until some of our check deposits cleared. But her asking us why we didn't tip, no less then 48 hours later made us feel extremely uncomfortable & punished. - We felt fought just about of every step of the way with a lot of our decisions. Which is pretty upsetting. I understand needing to protect yourself and your business, but thousands of dollars later we just want to feel confident our caterer had our back too.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chef Cuellar and his entire team are incredible. From the first call, it was obvious that he and his team cared about making our wedding the magical day we had always dreamed about. Even though we lived in Philadelphia and needed to come to a tasting on the weekend, they made it work with their schedule and completely blew us away with the menu they prepared based on our first few meetings. Incredibly professional but also warm, inviting, and easy to talk to and express ourselves around. When it came to the big day, he and his team were ready to go despite a few last-minute curveballs. Our guests thought the food was amazing and continued talking about it well after the wedding ended. We cannot recommend enough Chef Cuellar and his team for weddings. They are candid about what they can do and what it might take to make it happen! For background, we had a wedding of about 70-80 and did a Mediterranean buffet style for the main course with a charcuterie board during the cocktail hour. For dessert, they prepared churros as well as multiple types of gelato.

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.

I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Pear Tree Catering! Shelly and her entire team are so top notch - I can't imagine anyone going with anyone else! From the first day we met with Shelly, she assured me all would be prefect - and when the wedding day came - it was exactly that - perfect! I am a very type A person (In a nice way), but it makes me worry about all of the details - but, in this case, every detail was covered and even though I still worried, they were so on it, they did so many things I had not even thought of - every little thing was done and the wedding just flowed along perfectly! On top of that, the FOOD WAS PHENOMENAL!!!! I don't think I had one guest not tell me how super-impressed they were with the food! OMG...it was out of this world! Usually you expect "wedding food", but Pear Tree makes fantastic food as if you were out dining at a fine restaurant! And they did this working with a barely there kitchen and their own set-up....unbelievable! They did our bar service, and we even had a gelato station afterwards that everyone LOVED! We were so impressed with everything....I found myself thanking Shelly (owner) over and over again bc I knew they would be good, but I didn't realize until it all happened, how absolutely fantastic this company is. I highly highly recommend!!!! You will not be disappointed!
