Please visit our contact form to get a response from a sales team member.

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.

At Huegah, we believe that there is no client more important than you. When you work with us, we promise you our uncompromising attention to detail, food of the highest quality, and to be treated the way you want to be treated. We describe our cuisine as “dressed up eclectic comfort”. Our artful and delicious chef-crafted menu is guided by the season, inspired by you and your event, and begins with the freshest, hand-selected ingredients.

We cannot recommend Huegah Catering enough! Our journey to finding the perfect caterer wasn’t easy—we initially tried another vendor and were disappointed even with just a small tasting for the two of us. But from the moment we walked into Huegah and met Angie and Paul, we knew we had found something special. From the very beginning, they made us feel welcomed, valued, and completely at ease. The entire experience was personalized beyond our expectations. Paul and Angie went above and beyond to accommodate every request—offering to drive to Wisconsin just to get Spotted Cow for our special day and even offering to follow a cherished family recipe from scratch if we wanted to include it in our meal. Their dedication, flexibility, and passion for what they do were evident in every interaction. They were the warmest and friendliest vendors we had and made our planning a joy! When it came to the food, they absolutely delivered. We chose filet and salmon, and every single plate was cooked to perfection—warm, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The quality was impeccable, and we lost count of how many guests came up to us raving about how much they loved their meal. The service was just as outstanding as the food. Paul and Angie were not only professional and attentive but also radiated joy, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. They seamlessly coordinated with all our other vendors, ensuring that every detail of our wedding night was perfect. We truly cannot thank Paul and Angie enough for everything they did to make our wedding so memorable. Without a doubt, we will be calling them again for any future family events. If you are looking for caterers who are passionate, accommodating, and will go the extra mile to make your event exceptional, look no further than Huegah Catering. Thank you, Paul and Angie, for making our wedding unforgettable!

I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Pear Tree Catering! Shelly and her entire team are so top notch - I can't imagine anyone going with anyone else! From the first day we met with Shelly, she assured me all would be prefect - and when the wedding day came - it was exactly that - perfect! I am a very type A person (In a nice way), but it makes me worry about all of the details - but, in this case, every detail was covered and even though I still worried, they were so on it, they did so many things I had not even thought of - every little thing was done and the wedding just flowed along perfectly! On top of that, the FOOD WAS PHENOMENAL!!!! I don't think I had one guest not tell me how super-impressed they were with the food! OMG...it was out of this world! Usually you expect "wedding food", but Pear Tree makes fantastic food as if you were out dining at a fine restaurant! And they did this working with a barely there kitchen and their own set-up....unbelievable! They did our bar service, and we even had a gelato station afterwards that everyone LOVED! We were so impressed with everything....I found myself thanking Shelly (owner) over and over again bc I knew they would be good, but I didn't realize until it all happened, how absolutely fantastic this company is. I highly highly recommend!!!! You will not be disappointed!
