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.

Hoffman House Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Lake Villa, IL

You’ve been dreaming of this day for a long time, crafting the perfect experience in your mind. The dress. The flowers. The ring. And, of course, the food. Each celebration is an opportunity for us to help couples bring their unique vision to life.

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.

Pear Tree - Hel's Kitchen Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Lake Villa, IL

Pear Tree - Hel's Kitchen Catering™ has been serving the Chicagoland community for over 25 years. We are committed to offering freshly prepared gourmet foods and ingredients with excellent service to all of our clients. We provide a variety of services and have everything needed to suit catering needs for parties of 2-2,000. At Pear Tree Catering we strive to not only create delicious food, but also create an ambiance and night to remember for all of our guests. We can take care of everything from table decorations and themed centerpieces to costumed servers, anything we can do to ensure a dynamic and memorable occasion for our clients.

Pear Tree catered my daughter’s wedding, which we hosted in our backyard. They did an amazing job in all aspects, including the delicious food, the beautiful presentation, and the phenomenal staff. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a top-notch catering company. Shelly, as well as her entire staff, was delightful to work with – throughout the event planning stage as well as during the wedding itself. I was aiming for a very specific ambiance to my party, and Shelly listened carefully, understood my goals, and produced a party which totally matched those goals. With her extensive knowledge and creative ideas, she actually enhanced my objectives. When the wedding day came and Pear Tree arrived, I had total confidence that all of my hard work had come to an end – I knew that they would now take over the work while I enjoyed the wedding day – and that is exactly what happened. Shelly took the lead in executing every detail that we had discussed during the planning stages; yet remained flexible enough to make judgment calls where it was appropriate to do so. In regard to the setup of the food, she went above and beyond to create beautiful displays. As far as the food quality, I’ve never before had so many guests at my party approach me to let me know how wonderful the food was – and we had many foodies at our wedding! For certain items, I was told that they were the best in class! Shelly and her staff were accessible and easy to communicate with throughout the party – whether it be timing requests based on how many of my guests had arrived, or a personal favor (i.e., could you please offer a watermelon skewer to my daughter, the bride). They were efficient, polite, and respectful to everyone. When it came time for cleanup, they once again went above and beyond. Not only did they leave all cooking and serving areas immaculate, but they cleaned up parts of the party that they had not even been responsible for – i.e., gathering up the centerpieces, candy, nuts, etc. They even wrapped all leftover food and neatly packed it into my refrigerator. If you want to host a first-class party while minimizing your stress throughout the event planning stage as well as during the party itself, I highly recommend Pear Tree Catering!
