Dan L. Sent on 06/19/2022Amazing catering and experience
Jewell Catering provided such a great meal and planning service. Everyone keeps raving about all of the food that we had at our wedding. We had a simple cake for cutting which was delicious. The team was incredible, and they were very professonial and helpful throughout the event. Our ceremony went very smoothly and the staff did a phenomenal job. -

The food Jewell made for our wedding was incredible! Everything from the appetizers to the sheet cake was unforgettable. Kirstin was truly one of the heroes of our day, helping with everything from the seating chart, to fixing the bustle on my dress when it broke! She went above and beyond to ensure that our day was perfect. We highly recommend Jewell to anyone who is planning their big day. -

Katy M. Sent on 12/23/2019Delicious, compliments from our guests
We had a wonderful experience working with Kristin and her team for our wedding. Designing the menu with them was fun and they were easy to work with. My husband is lactose intolerant and the whole team did a wonderful job making sure our menu fit our taste preferences as well as dietary needs. Our guests complimented the food A LOT! -

Katie W. Sent on 09/12/2019Great Service and Food!
We are so happy we chose Jewell Events Catering to cater our wedding reception. The food was absolutely delicious. We had a pretty unconventional reception on a charter boat and did not have a sit down dinner, but rather a taco bar. We received so many compliments from our guests who said the food was fantastic. The staff were very helpful, friendly and I received such great service from the time of quote to the actual wedding day. I would definitely recommend. -

Our friends can't stop talking about the food!
Jenna and the Jewell team delivered the best wedding food our friends have ever had. Even two months after our big day, friends and family continue to ask about our caterer. Jenna was a dream to work with, the price was very affordable, and the delivery was exquisite. Would highly recommend to all! -

Bailey Sent on 01/13/2019Fantastic from beginning to end
I cannot say enough great things about Jewell Catering, and neither can our guests! I worked with Jessica and Kristin and they are truly the dream team. From the food tasting, to cake tasting, to final walk through they were our biggest supports and made us so comfortable with how our day would turn out. They went above and beyond just organizing our meals, they contributed to executing our vision for the day. Our guests are still talking about how great the food was, three months later. So much thought and detail were put into each item and were fantastic. And there was no better way to end the night then with a chicago dog. I can not imagine ever working with a different group and will continue to praise them. -

George Jewell Catering was absolutely amazing. We worked with Les Chandler, and I wouldn't have trusted anyone else with this job. From the tasting to the day-of, it was an unforgettable experience working with him and his team. During the tasting, we were fed until we couldn't take one more bite. We tried so many amazing appetizers, small bites, salads, entrees and desserts, and late night snacks, we didn't even know what to pick it was so good! We had so much fun at the tasting, it was one of our favorite "wedding planning" days.
Then came the wedding. It is no easy task serving a plated meal for 300 people in an outdoor tent, but they made this look effortless. Les and his team went above and beyond to ensure all of our guests needs were met. The wine pours were endless, the food was piping hot, and everyone raved to us about how they wanted more of that amazing tenderloin. Their team was so well organized, and was able to handle our rowdy crowd with ease. Les and the George Jewell team went above and beyond for us and exceeded all expectations. We couldn't have pulled this off without them!!

User2413198 Sent on 11/06/2015I worked with Jenna and Dana for our October 2015 wedding. Jewell Events offered an extensive and customizable menu offering at a competitive price. Upon our tasting, it was clear how attentive to detail they are. We walked into our appointment and the table was already set with the settings we selected. Dana walked us through a few of our different menu choices and had honest responses about a couple of our potential options (i.e. ice cream cookie sandwich was messy). Every question we had they were able to accommodate or offer a recommendation (like my ideas for a solid chocolate menu as a favor and groom's "cake" doughnuts (which ended up being served alongside the coffee station...genius!). Dana attended our walk-through with our venue coordinator, and again their attention to detail shined as questions regarding bar placement, quantity of chairs in each row for the ceremony (since we were doing a few rentals through them as well), and more solidified our plans and calmed some pre-wedding nerves. The day of Jenna really took care of not only us, but our guests as well. I loved how they served water and wine by tray immediately after our ceremony going into cocktail hour. I loved how we had plates upon plates of hor dourves for our special bride & groom "dinner" (the stand outs were the empanadas and short ribs in a tomato soup muffin). I especially loved how when our family was taking pictures with us during cocktail hour the waitstaff came and made sure they were fed since they were not able to join the rest of our guests at that time. We received a lot of compliments on the entrees (apple, currant, caramelized onion, and caraway stuffed chicken breast/grilled marinated white fish/rustic vegetable galette)! Both the ceremony and reception spaces with the gold chairs, tan linens, gold flatware, and the decor items set up by their staff (my florist and I provided them) looked exactly how I envisioned them. They didn't miss a beat! -
User2574360 Sent on 04/11/2016We worked with Jenna and Dana for our wedding. From the very beginning, both were extremely accommodating. As we planned our destination wedding in Chicago while living in two different cities, both Jenna and Dana were quick to respond by email and put together a beautiful tasting although only one of us could make it. We worked together to develop a menu that really fit our needs and wants, and they were happy to meet our financial constraints with discounts and some complimentary items. On the day of, we ran into a problem with the color of our linens, but both Jenna and Dana apologized and offered compensation to make amends. We went to many tastings and came away with the best option in a crowded and highly competitive Chicago wedding market. We are very thankful to have worked with Jenna and Dana! Thank you. -
User852454 Sent on 07/05/2012After looking at many different caterers and going to several tastings, we came to Jewell, and realized immediately how wonderful they are. The food is extremely high quality, tastes great, and is beautifully arranged. We got tons of compliments from our guests, who said it was the best wedding food they had eaten. In addition to all that, our catering manager Gregory was so much fun to work with, answered all of my many questions beforehand, and took care of all the little details that will make you crazy but you don't have time to think about on the day of. Although they charge a little bit more than some other places, the superior food and service makes it an extremely worthwhile investment -- we are absolutely thrilled with the job they did.
