Food For Thought

Food for Thoughts exceeded our expectations! I am a wedding florist, but this time I was the bride. I've worked with many vendor professionally, Food for Thought has always been any ideal teammate. Being on the opposite side, as a client, was an even better experience. The food was literally the best food I've had in my entire life. I highly recommend the Frenched Breast of Citrus Marinated Chicken. Several family members were asking for the recipe. It happened to be a cold and windy day during a hot wave in June. We had to make a snap decision to move the reception to an area less effected by the weather. Food for Thought JUMPED into action, made the whole transition smooth, and honestly it was a better experience than the original plan. I highly recommend Food for Thought. Anna Zuniga and Meaghan Tiberio were a dream to work alongside.

Throughout the planning, booking, and execution of our wedding, one vendor stood out above the rest. Meaghan Tiberio and her team made sure that we felt prioritized from the second we met them. They had a wonderful catered tasting ready for us at their test kitchen. They were prompt in communications. They ensured that all of the food options met our guests' needs. They did a wonderful job managing our venue space. Their servers made the meal feel elegant, rather than catered. But above all else, Meaghan personally made sure that me and my wife felt taken care of, including helping us with other troublesome vendors. I would highly recommend FFT to anyone booking a wedding in Chicago. 5 star experience.

We had our Indian wedding reception at Adler Planetarium over Memorial Day Weekend in 2022. Our experience working with the Adler/FFT team was very positive. They were responsive to all of our questions and requests throughout our planning process and even allowed us to push our date due to COVID without any difficulty.

Coldplay ended up having a concert at Soldier Field the very same night so we were worried about getting our guests to Adler on time for our event. The Adler team was extremely communicative and transparent with us on how to best handle the situation and helped to ease our stress as well as ensure that our guests arrived safely and on time.

The tasting experience was also great. The presentation of the food was exactly the same as the tasting which we appreciated. Our ONLY issue was that on the day of the event, the food seemed to run out quickly at each table and some of our guests did not get to try each dish that we selected as it was a family style dinner. Our recommendation would be to refill dishes or provide more of each dish if possible!

On the day of, everything was exactly what we hoped for. We simply showed up and were absolutely blown away at how beautifully the venue was set up. Everything went off without a hitch thanks to Annie and her team! We appreciate everything that they did for us to make our event truly the best night of our lives!
