    Definitely hire them for your wedding!

    From the second we decided to go with Kuma's, there was not a single second we regretted it. From the initial tasting to the planning meetings to the actual wedding day, everything was flawless and the food was delicious! Lisa and her team worked incredibly hard to make sure our day was a success and we are eternally grateful!

    Amazingly delicious and easy experience

    Holy cow - after chatting with numerous catering vendors in Chicago for our reception (we eloped and just threw a fun party when we got back), Lisa with Kuma's catering came through. She made the entire process so easy! She hosted us for a delicious tasting and tweaked the menu based on our feedback. The catering cost was very reasonable, too! Lisa is the absolute best!
