Jane is the best!

Jane and her team did an incredible job catering our wedding with Indian cuisine. My husband and I come from different cultural backgrounds, so it was wonderful to see everyone come together and enjoy the food. The flavors were spot on, and guests couldn’t stop raving about each dish. It added such a beautiful touch to our celebration. The chef truly outdid themselves, and we especially loved the appetizers – absolutely delicious!

The service was also exceptional. We felt genuinely taken care of, and Jane brought our vision to life with such care and professionalism. She’s warm, thoughtful, and attentive to every detail. I’m so grateful for everything she did to make our day perfect. I highly recommend Jane and her team for anyone looking for an unforgettable catering experience!

Best Caterer in Chicago!

If you’re thinking about using Entertaining Company - look no further, seriously. I used Entertaining Company for my wedding in August 2018 and they were absolutely outstanding. All of the staff working, from Banquets to Servers to Bartenders, is highly professional and well-trained. Presentation of all food was careful and consistent. Everything tasted amazing and we got tons of compliments from guests on the food! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Special shout-out to amazing Sales Manager Denise Robinette for incredible communication and delivery of our vision! Thank you!!

Awesome food. We cannot say enough about how great Rachel and the Entertaining Company staff was. Everyone complimented us on how good the food was at the wedding. Rachel put together a unique and fun menu that fit our taste. The price was a little more than what we had wanted to spend, but we are glad we did. It was completely worth it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
