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.

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.

Big Delicious Planet 

5.0

  • Serves Hillside, 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.

Late to the Lake was an outstanding catering choice for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their team was attentive, kind, thoughtful, and insightful in helping us plan the perfect menu. The quality of their work was simply amazing - the food was artistry on a plate, with flavors that were both outstanding in taste and incredible value. Honestly, we would have happily paid more for such an unforgettable dining experience. On the day of the wedding, their staff were some of the nicest and most professional individuals we've ever met.

We ordered Tuck Ins to put in our wedding guest gift bags at the hotel. Tuck Ins was easy to work with, delivered in a timely manner, and all of our guests loved having something delicious and made by a local Philly company. If we were to get married again, I think we would include Tuck Ins at the dessert table and let the guests roast them at the reception. Would highly recommend!
