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!

Jewell Events Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Riverside, IL

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.

My (now husband) and I booked with Jewell Events Catering probably a year and a half before our wedding. During that 1.5 years, we spoke regularly with Greg Jenkins (President), Hailey, and Maria (the Jewell Catering team) and I can not verbalize enough how helpful, involved and willing to go the extra mile they all were. Greg truthfully felt like an additional day-of-coordinator the way he helped us create our table design, source beautiful chargers and draping, discuss the timeline of the day, and get into the nitty-gritty details of every.single.aspect of the day. Not to mention the food is UNBELIEVABLE. Everyone complimented are food and I'm not shocked it was perfect based on the incredibly attention to detail Greg has. Everything (and I mean to the crumb) is under a microscope with Greg team, which makes the end product better than you could imagine. There are not many vendors that you leave the wedding planning process feeling like you are REAL friends, but with Greg and the Jewell Catering team, both my husband and I are genuinely sad to no longer have regular planning meetings with them! Greg team will show up to the venue with multiple-onsite walkthroughs, coordinate with the venue to resolve issues, and will handle last minute external issues without it coming to us so we can be blissfully happy on our special day. I never really leave reviews, but I HAD to leave a review for this team as they were the shining star of our vendor list without question. It's also worth mentioning we looked at 10 caterers for our event and could not be HAPPIER with our choice to go with Jewell. A Chicago wedding is overwhelming and exhausting to plan, but Jewell made it so much easier. Do not question it and do not price shop (believe me we did and it's a waste of time as they are aligned pricing wise with other lower-service options) - BOOK JEWELL EVENTS CATERING.
