Sharko's was INCREDIBLE for our Wedding Catering!!

We worked primarily with Jacalyn at Sharko's catering, but candidly, the entire Sharko's team and family were absolutely incredible the entire time we worked with them and we were SO incredibly pleased with the food, service, overall experience and wonderful care they put into making our wedding day absolutely amazing! We had out tasting in early January for our late February wedding (trust me, I thought this was too late, but they assured me it was more than enough time) and the tasting was great- easy to schedule and communicate what we were interested in trying. The food was incredible and we were super excited to have them as our top contender for the wedding dinner!

They helped set up our buffet dinner for just under 100 guests, made the table look beautiful, they ensured we had our meal before our guests (thank you!! Otherwise I don't think we would have had a chance to eat tbh), they filled our champagne glasses for toasts, and allowed us to customize every option from day one. On top of these things, the chef made sure to introduce himself and check on us throughout the night, the serving staff saved us appetizers during cocktail hour to ensure we were fed throughout the night and they made sure that we were taken care of first and foremost which just helped us feel that much more special. We catered our dessert and cake from a local bakery, but they helped cut and serve desserts as well. I cannot tell you how absolutely wonderful the entire team was in making our evening the absolute most special night. Thank you Sharkos, you were all superb and we were so thankful to have you help ensure our big day was so special!

Exceptional Quality

Sharko’s provides great food and service for your event. They catered our wedding on 2/21/25. They made sure that the food was hot and out to guests during happy hour. No one went hungry for n their watch. Our guests raved about how great the food was and the chef even went around to all of the tables to personally check on all of our guests. I could not have asked for better food our service on our wedding day!

The best caterers!

Sharkos was the most incredible caterer for our small wedding. They were always so kind and always responsive to my questions even if they were a little silly, or changing the drink options a few times. Jaclyn was such a great coordinator to work with and even matched the vibe of our wedding when we asked them not to wear something as formal as they normally do and showed up in boho attire (as requested) to match the personality of our wedding. They were amazing, and our guests even said they felt like they were treated like royalty by Sharkos because the food was so delicious. Thank you Sharkos!

On our event day, the servers were so professional and kind, they fulfilled what they promised and everyone loved the food.
We definitely recommend them and use them again.

Amazing caterers for a wedding!

This company is perfect for your wedding day! We had the pleasure of having their services for our wedding on 11.10.2024 in Apache Junction, AZ and the food was amazing! At least 3/4 if not more of our guests came up to us throughout the night and the week following stating how good the food was! They are reliable, professional, friendly, and very skilled at what they do and what they provide!

John's Celebration of Life

My experience with Sharkos Catering was excellent. They were easy to work with, did everything as promised, the food was delicious and plenty of it, the servers were wonderful and helpful, the serving table was decorated nicely and the table linens were in great condition and as promised. There were many compliments on the food and servers from my guests. If I ever need a caterer again I will definitely choose Sharkos

Chicagoans love their food, Sharkos is the best!

Our first encounter with Sharko's was at an open house for the vendor we chose for our wedding, North Valley Garden. The food was great, better than the other vendors on site, but just to be sure we got it right, we scheduled a tasting. Their office was full of Chicago memorabilia, we knew it had to be good, and it was. Our guests raved and when I told the Chicago family that our chefs were from Chicago, they all said of course! They were also so easy to work with and made sure that everything was perfect, from the place settings to the dessert. I believe good food, great friends and good music make an event, thank you Sharkos family for making our event spectacular.

Sharko's Catering did a fabulous job for my cousin's 60th Birthday party

Gary, Ron and Nate of Sharko's Catering did a fabulous job for my cousin's 60th Birthday party with 50 guests. The food was excellent and beautifully displayed. Being a chef himself, Gary did a wonderful job of interacting with the guests and making sure their needs were met. Nate graciously helped serve and Ron did a great job of keeping the bar hopping. They looked good in their black shirts and pants. They truly added to the elegance of the party.

We would give Sharko's Catering six stars if we could!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
