Erin is so sweet, easy to work with and their food was amazing! I am a vegetarian and she made it so easy for our guests to enjoy both vegetarian and local meat options. We got so many compliments throughout the night of our wedding and even weeks after on how great our food was. A couple times throughout the night Erin came up to me asking what I wanted to drink, because I was busy trying to talk to all the guests! I didn’t expect it and really appreciated that! I also love how everything they get is made locally and they are big on minimum waste. I would cater from Seed Sprout Spoon 100% again!

We love going out to eat at Irazu, so when it came time to pick a caterer for our wedding Irazu was at the top of our list. After we went in for our tasting we were SOLD! The food is delicious and the price was perfect. Plus the menu was super easy to have options for people at our wedding with dietary restrictions. Throughout the whole planning process Irazu was super clear and prompt with their communications, and asked us questions that ended up helping us finish up our timeline for the day of the wedding. We knew exactly what was going to happen and when, and everything went off without a hitch! Plus some very picky eaters on our guest list (my dad in particular) loved the food!! 10/10 would recommend!

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!

Our wedding plans went through multiple changes due to COVID-19 and the team stood by us every step of the way offering advice and the occasional shoulder to cry on. When we ultimately had a small reception for 12 people in our backyard Kelly and the team made sure every detail was cared for. Our guests are still talking about the fantastic food and how Kelly and Tim (acting as our server/bartender) fit right in with the small group of family and friends. We are planning to have a first anniversary party/reception more in line with our original wedding reception plans later this year and are looking forward to working again with Diane, Kelly, Tim, Julia and the entire team.
