We used Chef by Request for my daughter's wedding. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Amanda was so helpful and responsive from the beginning of the planning phase all the way to the end. She was very helpful with suggestions. The food was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. All of the staff were very professional the food service was great! I highly recommend Chef by Request. -

We hired Chef By Request for our wedding at the Paramount's Meyer Ballroom, and our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about the meal. Selecting our menu was the hardest part because there were so many amazing choices. Amanda and her team were so accommodating and reassuring, and able to make last-minute adjustments. Everything turned out wonderful without a hitch! Thank you to Amanda and her team for helping make our event fabulous! We loved that the wedding cake was part of the package - the Leeza bakery in Elmhurst did a fabulous job providing us with a beautiful and delicious three-tiered cake. -

I cannot say enough good things about Amanda and Chef By Request. I emailed Amanda for about 16 months about our wedding and changed my mind about 150 times and she was so helpful during the process and so patient with me in deciding what we truly wanted on our wedding day. They provided food for my bridesmaids and me the morning of our wedding, our cocktail hour, dinner, dessert, and late-night snacks and I cannot say enough about how great everything was. From our tasting to the wedding day, it was EXACTLY the same which is rare. The Chef By Request team is phenomenal and Amanda's professionalism and genuine care are unmatched - I'd recommend them to anyone. Thank you again for all of your support and for making our wedding day more than we could've dreamt of. -

I cannot begin to explain how AMAZINGGGGGG Chef By Request is. Amanda was my main contact and she is an absolute treasure. All of my questions and concerns were immediately addressed and resolved. The day of my wedding was quite literally the best day of my life, and it was really through Amanda and her staff's help and dedication that everything went so smooth. The food was DELICIOUS, the cake was utterly IRRESISTABLE, and the drinks were absolutely flowing~
We did all the food, all the desserts and cake, all the alcohol and drinks, and even equipment rental from them!!!!
Thank you Chef By Request and especially you Amanda for being a part of our wonderful day. Hopefully will see you soon, because I'm 110% recommending you guys to my friends and family (some of them also getting married soon~) -

Choosing Chef by Request as our caterer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! They have SO many dinner possibilities and their extensive selection of both hors d’oeuvres and desserts made it hard to choose which ones to pick (too many delicious options)! Their packages were also much more affordable than other caterers we looked at. Aside from the food, Amanda was phenomenal to work with. She was extremely patient and always gave detailed answers to my questions, even if I sent 15 questions in one email! She was always friendly and kept in contact even when she was swamped with events. Our guests are still raving about the food (especially the wild mushroom chicken) and the staff members too. Everything was wonderful with CBR and we cannot recommend them enough! -

Amanda made our experience with Chef by Request so wonderful. Out of all the caterers I contacted, she was the most responsive and helpful, willing to go the extra mile to make things work for us, even at a venue that was far away and more challenging in terms of on-site places to prepare food. Even when our ceremony and reception were delayed, CBR handled the change in schedule fairly smoothly. The only thing I wish we had done differently was to communicate more clearly about our layout and to designate which tables would be served first so that our wedding party / family tables weren’t waiting as long to eat. Even though not everything went according to plan on our special day, I knew the whole time the one thing I didn’t have to worry about was whether people would enjoy the food. Overall I would highly recommend CBR to anyone for how easy they are to work with, how delicious their food is, and the reasonable pricing. -

Working with Chef by Request was easily one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. From the first email, our contact Amanda Ingle went above and beyond to provide all the information and support she could, including suggesting creative ways of cutting costs. She was always professional and prompt in our communications, patiently explaining anything we had questions about. She continued to be an MVP on the day of the wedding, even helping us make table number cards by hand when we realized that was something we had overlooked. And of course, all of the food was phenomenal. We 100% would work with Chef by Request again. -

My guests could not get over how delicious the food was and the variety we had selected. We had 40 guests and served 5 hot and 5 cold. We did our own desserts and alcohol. The presentation was so beautiful. I did greenery too and balloons. It was exquisite. -

Amanda is amazing! She was super responsive and helpful throughout the whole proposal through final contract process. The food was great, and they even set aside an app plate during cocktail hour to make sure we (bride & groom) ate the food we selected for our guests! They worked directly with the venue on all the logistics, and it was honestly a pretty easy process for us, all we had to do was the tasting and select what we liked! -

Amanda was amazing to work with from start to finish, and worked with my budget to help bring our vision to life without over extending ourselves. From first interaction, to the tasting, to the wedding itself I cannot say enough how pleased we were with the service, quality, and professionalism from Chef By Request. We got sooooo many compliments on how great the food was at our wedding (apps, buffet dinner, and late night snacks)! My only regret is not eating more :D Stop looking, Chef By Request is where it's at! -

Chef by Request was amazing to work with for our wedding! Our event captain Amanda made us feel comfortable right from the beginning, and and was able to accommodate our requests. We choose to do their taco station for our dinner. During the tasting we were blown away with the quality and taste. They also made us an elote hors d'oeuvres per our request. At our wedding all of the food tasted as it did at the tasting, and all of the staff were wonderful! One server made sure that I got taste all of the hors d'oeuvres, and another came to check if we needed any more food before we made our rounds saying hello. All staff were professional, kind, and a joy to work with!
