My wedding review for My Chef Catering


From the very first tasting, we knew My Chef Catering was the right choice for our wedding—and they absolutely did not disappoint! The dual entrée we chose was incredible: Chicken Francaise with Lemon Caper Cream and Bistro Steak with Shallot Port Reduction, accompanied by perfectly cooked Grilled Broccolini and Smashed Redskin Potatoes with Garlic Butter. Every bite was delicious, and even our picky family members devoured their meals, saying it was the best they’d ever had. Our guests continue to rave about the food—so much so that some are begging for the chicken recipe!

The hors d’oeuvres were equally amazing. We loved having a tray set aside just for us during cocktail hour, featuring Italian Sausage Cherry Pepper Poppers, Mini Crab Cakes with Cajun Remoulade, Tuscan Skewers, and Rustic Pistachio Crostini with Whipped Ricotta and Orange Marmalade.

And the perks of being the bride? I got my own special meal! I had been looking forward to it as the wedding day approached—Chilean Sea Bass with Citrus Cream Beurre Blanc, Orzo tossed with Herbs and Roasted Garlic, and a Grilled Vegetable Melange (Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Red and Green Peppers tossed with Grill Seasonings). I just wish my wedding nerves allowed me to savor it fully!

The dessert table completely wowed our guests—they discovered the entire finger sweets table and couldn’t stop raving about it. Every detail, from presentation to flavor, was perfect.

The service was exceptional. Jaime and the entire staff were kind, attentive, and continuously checked on us throughout the night, making sure we were comfortable and everything was running smoothly. They even contributed to our table scapes, adding finishing touches like folding our napkins into gorgeous “flower” designs that perfectly complemented the décor.

Overall, working with My Chef was seamless, stress-free, and truly enjoyable. Jaime is incredible, professional, and such a joy to collaborate with. We cannot recommend My Chef enough for anyone looking for amazing food, impeccable service, and a team that will go above and beyond to make your day perfect!

Best Overall Experience!

From our first tasting, through the end of our wedding night, My Chef was amazing every step of the way! All staff were kind, professional and excited to support us on our big day. The food was amazing across the board! We worked closely with Jaime throughout our experience and she was incredibly helpful in guiding us through planning details we hadn't even thought about. My Chef was well connected with my venue (The Haight) which made the whole process so seamless. I had so much trust in Jaime and her team, that on my big day I was able to focus all my energy on celebrating with friends and family. I would highly recommend this team for any event!

MyChef Review

MyChef catered our wedding this past weekend and I have nothing but high praises for MyChef. MyChef hosted a tasting for us prior to our wedding, and they were so kind and gave us a generous tasting of our food options.

Our wedding guests had nothing but great things to say about the food and dinner presentation at our wedding. I would highly recommend MyChef for your wedding or event.

Wedding Catering- Jamie Walsh

Could not have nicer things to say about working with My Chef and Jamie Walsh for our wedding day catering. We met Jamie at our venue's vendor expo and were immediately impressed by their services, pricing, and vast food offerings. It was a no brainer to book with their group!

We had our tasting a couple months before our wedding day; which is complimentary to the couple and a $50 charge for any additional guest to join. They have you select 8-10 appetizers, 2 salads, and 4 entrees to taste at their Naperville location. They also have displays of china, silverware, glasses and more to help couples select what aligns aesthetically for their special day. Jamie worked with us to make small modifications to their standard offerings to make the food exactly what we wanted!

Our wedding day came and we were floored by the quality/presentation of food, level of detail in place settings, and service from all staff members. We had multiple guests say that this was some of the best wedding food they've had, steaks were not over cooked, and food tasted fresh. Jamie also let us add desserts a week out to reallocate money from a couple of guests who last minute were unable to attend. Their team was even nice enough to service items not purchased through their group: disposables for the late night snack, display and refilling of cupcakes, etc.

Overall, their group went above and beyond for us under Jamie's leadership. Our tables looked great, our food was wonderful, and their team was fabulous. We truly appreciate all they've done for us and could not recommend them more!

Absolutely incredible!!

Jamie and her team were fantastic from beginning to end. From the first consult we knew we wanted to go with MyChef, and even through some bumps during the room flip (from the venue not her) the MyChef team was able to handle everything smoothly and the day went off without a hitch. The food was delicious, we never ran out of appetizers, and they even put a little tray of apps in between our two seats at dinner figuring we probably hadn't had enough yet. The servers checked on us frequently, and they were super quick to clean up at the end of the night. I would recommend MyChef to anyone!!

My Chef was absolutely perfect and worth it

My Chef was perfect all around. The food was so amazing, I heard such great things about all who ate it. That is nothing compared to the staff though! The staff went above and beyond throughout the night. One server even heard my mom talking about our cake that we cut. She went and grabbed it to show the guests who she was talking about. It was so sweet and generous and just heartwarming. They saved us a whole plate of our hors d'oeuvres that we (the bride and groom) got to enjoy during dinner since we did not have a chance to grab a lot during cocktail hour. Again, the food was absolutely amazing but what really really dropped my jaw was the service and the extremely amazing people they have representing their company.

October 2024 Wedding Reception

My Chef Catering provided us with a first-class experience beyond what we could have imagined. They were very well staffed with professional team members who made the dinner service run smoothly. The My Chef Catering team was with us every step of the way and worked extremely well with our reception venue and other venues to give us an incredible wedding reception experience. We could always reach out to their office with any questions, and we would always be connected with a team member right away. We wholeheartedly recommend My Chef Catering for your wedding reception catering needs!

My Chef Wedding Review (October 2024)

I am thrilled to share my experience with My Chef. They were so easy to work with and flexible with all of our questions and possibilities. During the wedding planning process, many vendors are working together to make the night possible. My Chef worked seamlessly with multiple other vendors to ensure a smooth night for everyone and accommodate all of our guests. On the wedding day, the service was impeccable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and ensured that everything was executed flawlessly. They even accommodated some last-minute changes with a positive attitude and handled it professionally. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch catering and have full confidence in them delivering on wedding day.

Amazing Food and Service – Highly Recommend!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with My Chef for our wedding on 9/21/24! From start to finish, Jamie made everything seamless and was super helpful with everything (which is incredibly appreciated when planning a wedding - haha!). The food was absolutely delicious—our guests raved about the food served, and we kept hearing compliments throughout the night and for weeks after! Not only was the food exceptional, but the service was top-notch. Jamie and her team were such a pleasure to work with, making the entire night stress-free and enjoyable. We highly recommend My Chef for any event! They truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Thank you for everything, My Chef!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
