Relish catered my wedding and to be honest, they were amazing! They did not need my support at all the day of and were very independent which is super important since my stress levels were already high! The food was amazing.. I had nothing but amazing feedback! Literally people were messaging me days later asking who catered! Only thing negative is I ordered white lasagna thinking red sauce and white dress disaster and we were served regular lasagna. Not a huge deal just not what I was expecting. Besides that literally 10/10 thank you so much Relish for being a part of our special day!

Big Delicious Planet 

5.0

  • Serves River Forest, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Elegante Cuisine is one of the higher end catering companies in the area, so this was a splurge for us, but one that we do not regret. Good food and good music are two of the biggest factors in the guest experience, so it was worth it to us. Our tasting was awesome; their menu options are extensive but all the dishes seemed to be executed perfectly. They had catered at our venue many times, and seemed highly competent. During and since the wedding, many of our friends and family have raved to us that it was the best food they’ve had at a wedding. Our entrees were the chicken asiago and the stuffed peppers (sooo good!). On the wedding day, Elegante staff took great care of us, even making sure we had hot, full plates and an assortment of our cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres ready when we entered the reception space. We worked with Trisha, who at times did not respond very effectively or efficiently to our questions/concerns/requests, but overall we are very happy with the services we received and us and all the guests were certainly well fed.

FrancoSushi

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves River Forest, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!!!

The perfect late-night snack! Returning home after cooking in Southern California for five years, Travis Champer has his sights on the possibilities of simplicity.

CaterCow

  • Starts at $200
  • Serves River Forest, IL

We provide thoughtfully curated catering that your group or event will love. We pride ourselves on an amazing experience and our customer service. We have been serving our communities since 2012 and look forward to serving you as well! We are a great option for those events that may not need table service. Brunches, BBQ's, rehearsal dinners. We do it all and have you covered!

CaterCow was a great choice for meals you typically don't think about. No one plan ahead for lunch the morning of the big day when everyone but the bride and groom are chilling. CaterCow had a wide variety of affordable options to choose from, and we got a nice lunch of Turkish food that was informal, delicious, and just what we needed for the wedding party and family members lounging around the house. We are also planning on using CaterCow for some delicious arepas for an informal baby shower on a rooftop that allows us to bring outside food.

Pear Tree - Hel's Kitchen Catering 

5.0

  • Serves River Forest, 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!
