Top notch food and service!
Communication with Michaels was seamless and working with our coordinator, Stacey, was a dream. She was so on top of it in scheduling our tasting, attending our final walk-through, and making sure everything was perfect on the day of the event.
First and foremost the food options they offered were TO DIE FOR. It was so hard choosing what we wanted at our wedding because everything sounded so good. I went into choosing a caterer just not wanting bad food and they provided everything and more that I could imagine. The tasting was one of our favorite parts of planning. We had such a great time trying all the food, making notes, and playing around with place-setting options. Truly we were blown away with every food item we tasted.
When it came to the walk-through Stacey came prepared and asked us all the right questions, even about things we hadn't thought of or discussed. I was thoroughly impressed with her knowledge and professionalism.
On the wedding day, Stacey and all the Catering by Michaels staff were TOP NOTCH! Our guests were also blown away by how delicious the food was - from apps, to dinner, to dessert. Multiple guests have reached out to us post-wedding to rave about not only the food but also about the staff and service they received.
I cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed working with Stacey and Catering by Michaels and would recommend them to anyone who is considering them as an option for any event!
Catering by Michaels is the best!
We had a tasting a few months before the wedding, which was such a fun experience and helped us feel much better about the day. The tasting was a true demonstration of how things would go on our wedding day and they were not kidding - it was exactly the amazing food and customer service we got to experience on our wedding.
Everything about the wedding catering went perfectly - every team member was professional and in a great mood, tables were served promptly with warm food, and the best part was that it was all incredibly delicious and filling.
I cannot recommend CMB more - there’s a reason they’ve been around for so long and are so amazing at what they do!
Catering by Michaels and Moriah are the BEST!

Michele has been producing weddings for Catering by Michaels for over 20 years. Her depth of knowledge on the wedding industry is second to none. She is meticulous and puts 48 hours into her 24 hour work day. In her spare time, she loves to exercise, travel, hang with her kids and be a tourist in her own city.

Nathan's eye for detail and passion for working together as a team has helped him produce hundreds of events in Chicago's top venues. He enjoys all of the diversity and different traditions that each wedding brings.
