Wedding Caterers in Chicago

The food was so delicious! Rossy and her team were amazing!! Get the tamales as a late night snack. They were a hit!

We hired Connie's for our wedding on 3/25/23 and they exceeded our expectations! We had a simple menu with pizza, salad, and pasta. Our guests RAVED about the food and said how delicious it was! We worked closely with JoAnn and she was awesome. She took all of our requests into consideration and made them happen. Would definitely recommend if you and your partner love pizza and are looking for a simple and affordable meal for your wedding!

My husband and I were recommended Northern Fork through our venue and we were not disappointed by their catering service for our reception! When we had inquired about their services, they had sent us a draft menu for our micro-wedding/reception – we ended up loving their draft menu right off the bat! Kelsey was a fantastic point of contact, Myrissa helped coordinate with our venue with our needs, and Executive Chef Sean treated us absolutely wonderfully during our tasting and even during our reception event as well! We would recommend Northern Fork to everyone, they were an absolute joy with delicious options. (PS. The guests absolutely LOVED their food – even the picky eaters!)

Double Down Catering was fantastic from start to finish! From my first inquiry, Peter was so kind, patient, and helpful. He walked me through every step of the planning process and made sure everything was taken care of for my son’s birthday party. The team was amazing and truly went above and beyond. They arrived on time, were professional and friendly, and made the whole event feel easy and stress-free. We had more than enough food for everyone, and everything was fresh and absolutely delicious! Great service, great food, and an incredible team. I would highly recommend Double Down Catering for any birthday, family celebration, or special event!

Ati and Ovy and the whole team were fantastic! The months leading up to our wedding day, we were so excited for the food after our tasting. Ati was so attentive and detailed and it was so easy to work with him. Ati listened to our food preferences so well and made such a beautiful menu for our guests. Unluckily for us, we discovered a pest infestation at our original venue where Ati and Ovy’s team was supposed to cater. As we were frantically trying to find a new space to host our wedding, I called Ati to explain the situation at 7am the morning of our wedding. Ati reassured me and told me, “we will follow you anywhere” and they did. The whole team was so flexible, understanding, and supporting. We are truly so grateful that everything worked out! On the day of the wedding, Ovy and his staff were so helpful and friendly. Since we had a last minute change to our venue, our original floor plan and seating chart could no longer be used but the catering team seamlessly transitioned the space from the ceremony to reception. The whole team looked so organized and composed that it made us forget the stress of having to change all the details we had planned months before. Everyone was so professional and so courteous not only to my husband and I but to our families and guests. The team went above and beyond by personally bringing us drinks and our personal tray of hors d’oeuvres and asking our families if they needed anything. We were all incredibly stressed that morning because of the venue fiasco, but Ovy and his team made us feel supported and cared for and we were able to enjoy the day we had been looking forward to. The food was amazing!! Multiple people came up to us on the day of our wedding to tell us it was the best food they have eaten at a wedding. During cocktail hour, we served hors d’oeuvres, including a stuffed eggplant bite and short rib costrini that my husband’s cousins from out of town loved!! It was so special to see people from out of town come to celebrate us and enjoy such yummy food. My brother in law worked in the restaurant industry for a long time so his standards are pretty high but he said the short rib dish he ate was so good and one of the best meals he’s had. We also served a minty pea soup that everyone loved - we had someone come up to us while we were sitting at our sweetheart table to tell us they loved it! My husband and I love eating well and we wanted great food at our wedding for our friends and families. We are so happy that Ati, Ovy, and the whole team made that happen for us!

We catered from Sabri for my daughter’s multi cultural wedding and everyone loved to food. Safdar was amazing to work with and helped us choose the perfect menu. There was so much food left over we had guest take trays home. The food was so good we are planning to go back to the restaurant for dinner. One recommendation for this restaurant to allow people booking a wedding to offer a tasting.

We had our wedding at Lacuna Lofts, which meant we had the absolute pleasure of having LM Catering as our wedding caterer. We had so many friends and family members compliment the dinner and dessert table, saying that this was “actually delicious wedding food”! We had a number of dietary restrictions, and LM’s vast menu and options made it so easy to accommodate everyone’s needs while also making everything taste DELICIOUS! Everything was presented beautifully, and we particularly loved that the sides were served family-style, which we hadn’t seen at many weddings before. We made some changes to our picks numerous times, and Tania was so accommodating in making any and all changes we requested! Our dessert table and yummy pretzel late night snacks were huge hits with our guests, and being able to get everything – dinner, dessert, and snacks – from one vendor was so seamless. We would highly recommend LM to anyone looking for a tasty, fun wedding caterer!

Mantra knocked it out of the park with our Welcome Party for our guests. We had a few custom ideas for our event (e.g. a vegetarian version of an East Coast Chopped Cheese) and we weren't totally sure how they were going to turn out—but Mantra quelled those fears the minute I took my first bite. From bringing small food station decor to elevate our ambience to accommodating requests near to the event date (more veggies in the Build-Your-Own-Maggi station please), they pulled through on everything and then some. This was the first event of our wedding weekend, so we were extra intentional that guests hungry and tired after a day of travel were well fed, and it set the right tone for the whole weekend. The Maggi station was especially a hit (we had many subsequent requests that we should've had two instead of one stall) as were the rest of the savor items, desserts, and his- and hers-cocktails As a hands-on bride that was very particular about the small touches to make sure the celebration was a reflection of us as individuals and a couple, Mantra was the right choice and an equal partner in bringing intentionality to each dish and the event as a whole. One of the best decisions we made during the planning process and 12/10 would do it again (especially because not only did we take and savor the Chopped Cheese leftovers, I also think about that sandwich once a week).

I liked how straightfoward chef Glen made the entire process. the food was totally delicious and she was very professional. I also liked how special I felt with a menu that wasn't a cookie cutter menu. She also spoke spanish which was really good for my family

I've ordered catering from First Slice twice now, one small event and one large, and we've been blown away both times. Nicole is so easy to communicate with, offers excellent recommendations specific to the event/guests/travel/preferences etc, and the food and desserts are SO good! Our family's favorites include the quiche bites, beef taquitos, empanadas, and of course their blueberry cream cheesecake bites! You will be really happy with your catering order from First Slice and your guests will too!
