12/10 Best Ever

We used Big Star for our catering. They were incredible to work with, every little detail was taken care of by their team. The food was the best wedding food I have every had (I may be a little biased, but quite a few of our guests agreed). I have an annoying amount of friends with dietary restrictions and the Big Star team worked so hard to make sure they felt safe in everything they were eating. Honestly was worth every penny!!!

Amazing Food & Staff!

Big Star has always been a favorite of mine in Chicago, so when we needed to make new arrangements due to our original venue closing less than two months out, they were the first inquiry I sent for catering! They made a nightmare of a situation less stressful, which we are forever thankful for! A special shout out to Julia for answering my questions so promptly, being so accommodating, and ensuring our wedding went off without a hitch! We had SO many compliments on the food, which is no surprise at all. If you're having any type of event, I definitely recommend Big Star for all your catering needs!

Delicious food and excellent service

Big Star was the site of one of our first dates, so when it came time to hire a caterer for our wedding, the choice was clear. The food was superb, as anticipated, from passed apps to delicious tacos. Guests raved. Big Star also allowed us to supply our own alcohol but served it for us beautifully; ditto the flip to dessert (from Firecakes). I loved the smiles on all of the staff. Greg Pearson, our event lead, was fabulous. There was a bit of staff turn over right before the event, but once Greg stepped in it was smooth sailing.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
