    Amazing wedding caterer

    My wife and I recently used Chef Jack’s as our wedding caterer and we cannot recommend them enough!! So many guests commented to us how good the food was and we couldn’t agree more. Beyond the wonderful dinner menu, everyone LOVED the grilled cheese and Reuben shooters for the cocktail hour. Also, staff was very attentive throughout the day and made sure any guests with dietary restrictions had their needs met so everyone could enjoy their meals. Finally, leading up to the wedding the point people at Chef Jack’s were always quick to respond to various communications which made the planning that much easier for us. We absolutely loved working with Chef Jack’s and appreciate all they did for us!

    People are still talking about the food!

    “I have never actually left a wedding full before.” A direct quote I received from a guest. The food was fantastic and I have received so many additional compliments from guests. Chef Jacks was amazing to work with from the get-go. They are responsive and attentive. There was not a detail overlooked. We had a buffet for 160 guests and within 25 minutes everyone was eating. I was so impressed. I have been to other buffet weddings where it took nearly an hour to get everyone through the line. Do not hesitate to book CJ!

    Hire Chef Jacks for your wedding!

    We had so many compliments on our wedding food and Chef Jacks was to thank! We got married in Oct 2022 and ever since we first reached out, working with Chef Jacks was seamless! They were courteous and professional and very responsive. Not only that, their food is delicious and they think through every detail including a mini shot of baileys at the end! Chef Jacks has a lot of experience catering weddings (as does their staff) so during the day everything went off without a hitch. Not only that, they went out of their way to seek us out and make sure we had a chance to try all of the appetizers. And Chef Jacks has an extensive menu for food sensitivities and went to great lengths to ensure all of my guests were accommodated. I highly recommend hiring Chef Jacks for your next wedding!

    Would highly recommend Chef Jack's for anyone looking for catering services! Their food, service, and professionalism throughout our experience was second to none!

    Wedding caterer

    Chef Jacks was simply amazing. Our wedding was on June 20. From the first moment we reached out with a general inquiry, their communication has been great and the entire team is very knowledgeable and friendly. We did our tasting with Tony months ago, and he did a great job fully explaining everything. The food options were all SO GOOD!!! We had trouble deciding which options to go with (we chose buffet) because they were all so tasty. I personally thought they offered a good amount of food for their buffet, too. We compared them against a few other caterers and Chef Jacks offered more and were affordable too. As we got closer to the big day, we worked more with Candy, and she was also there on the day of the wedding. Our guests RAVED about how good the food was. The staff all looked very professional in their uniforms, and made sure me and my husband were taken care of the entire night. Between their food, their service, and the communication, I would highly recommend using Chef Jacks

    Outstanding Food & Service - 10 Stars!

    If I could give 10 stars I would - Chef Jack's is absolutely amazing. Everyone who attended our wedding could not and still cannot stop talking about how good the food is. From our first meeting/tasting with Tony to the very responsive team who quickly answered any emails/questions and guided me through the process, to the entire waitstaff at the event to the absolutely outstanding food…they all killed it! I have planned hundreds of events and worked with top of the line catering companies in New York and Chicago and I do not think I’ve ever had better food and more compliments on the food with any other caterer. We did the action stations - with an Asian station, mac and cheese station, meat carving station, "cold" station (cheeses, salad, dinner rolls, etc) plus passed appetizers during the cocktail hour. Every single thing tasted as good or better than it did at the tasting. Happy to answer any questions from anyone regarding Chef Jack's - but you cannot go wrong!

    Simply the best

    Simply the most amazing food, staff, and quality! I can't say enough great things about the Chef Jack's team. We were referred by a friend and after our tasting, I cancelled our other appointments with other caterers. I knew there wasn't a way we were going to top what we had just experienced. My only complaint (and it's not even a complaint!) was that on my wedding I was too full to finish my meal. Everything came out hot and fast which was important to my, now husband, and me. The execution of their ambiance from cocktail hour through dinner was impeccable. The team couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly and so fast to respond with any questions we had along the way. I want to host another event just to Chef Jack's can be part of it. Thank you, thank you for making our wedding memorable and delicious!

    Food was amazing!!

    Chef Jacks was incredible! From start to finish we felt that they were very professional and accommodating. Whatever questions we had were answered promptly, the food was phenomenal and our guests appreciated that they provided options for all restrictions. When they catered our wedding they were professionally attired, provided excellent service, and really made the night run smoothly. If you want great food to please lots of people go with Chef Jacks!

    Our Favorite Vendor

    Chef Jack's was absolutely amazing. Like many others, we were supposed to have our wedding in 2020, but rescheduled to 2021. I was nervous about rescheduling, but Chef Jack's was SO understanding and flexible. Tony was great to work with at the tasting and planning the event, Candy was so organized and put my mind at ease in the month leading up to the event. She was familiar with the venue, and made suggestions to help our day run smoothly. The day of was flawless. Nicollette was so kind throughout the day, ensuring we had everything we needed. They made sure we had plenty of appetizers (even brought a platter for the wedding party before we made our entrance to the reception hall), brought us slices of cakes, and checked-in frequently. So many guests complimented the food (we did a buffet). On top of this, I thought they were very affordable for the high-quality food served!

    Simply the best

    We were doing tastings for 3 days and chose Chef Jack. Mainly for presentation. Food and professionalism. After we had our tastings with Chef Jack we knew in our hearts we found our caterer but had to keep the other appointments. Tony whom I just love for his mannerisms and that presentation which my husband still talks about. On rhe day of our wedding 7 24 21 Chef Jack was just amazing. The appetizers were our of this world. I pause to give tribute to their assistants. From the youngest I just cant say too much about their professionalism. It was a hot day so after the ceremony and pleasantries I went inside to cool off and wait for dinner. Wouldn't you know they came inside to offer me N my husband appetizers which I couldn't stop eating. What can I say about Candy our coordinator for the day. I just love her to pieces for making sure we were fed, got our drinks and anything we needed at the sweetheart table. Guests were posting their food on social media and the compliments on social media and to us just never ends. I'll put everything I own by recommending Chef Jack as your caterer. Thanks Candy for giving me a most professional and elegant wedding a woman could ask for in a caterer.

    Highly Recommend Chef Jack's!

    We hired Chef Jack's to cater our plated meal for our wedding of 140 guests and they did a phenomenal job! The wait staff was very professional and well dressed. The table settings were beautiful & high quality. When searching for a caterer, we found that Chef Jack's offered the best quality for the price. The food was delicious and the tasting experience at their Waukesha location was so fun!! Would highly recommend Chef Jack's!

    So delicious!

    I had the pleasure of working with Chef Jack's for my wedding! They are absolutely amazing. Our guests commented on the delicious steak all night long. My main contact was Candy. She is perfection. I love her to bits! Seriously, I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of me and my guests. 10 out of 10 would recommend...again and again! If you are on the fence about your wedding caterer, look no further because you just found who you are looking for!

    5 star, highly recommend!

    My fiancé and I found Chef Jack's as they were a preferred caterer at our reception venue. We were impressed initially with the offering, the pricing, and the responsiveness of their staff. The tasting we booked with Chef Jack's was phenomenal and won us over immediately. They allowed us to bring a few guests with us and hosted us for a full-fledged dining experience. They had a table set as if we were at a reception with several courses to sample. After this experience, we immediately knew we wanted to book Chef Jack's. We received so many compliments about how delicious the food was at our October 2020 wedding. The chicken en'croute is absolutely TO DIE FOR. The appetizers are phenomenal. The bar service and wait staff were so polite and accommodating. We booked Chef Jack's pre-COVID and are happy to say that their service and responsiveness continued throughout the pandemic. They flexed with us on everything given the extenuating circumstances of having an event in the midst of a pandemic. Above all, Tony was the most helpful and kind throughout the process. We really enjoyed working with Tony and the Chef Jack's team. I would undoubtedly use Chef Jack's again if I need an event catered and whole heartedly recommend them to everyone.

    Chef jacks was awesome! Great food, and definitely new what they were doing. So many people have told me they never got to taste the food at their wedding, but their staff was so attentive to me and my bridal party, I was full on appetizers alone!

    Food for Wedding

    Chef Jack's was AMAZING! We met with and spoke to a handful of people when scheduling the food/picking entree choices and each person was so helpful and nice! We had our tasting with Tony who was such a pleasure to sit down with and talk our day through with. We also worked with Candy, who met us down at our venue and went through each detail with us (she is the sweetest!) The food for our wedding was beyond what we could have imagined, it was sooo delicious!! One thing my husband and I always remember from weddings is the food, and the food at our wedding will be unforgettable! We had so many people come up to us and tell us how amazing there food was, which for us, was amazing to hear! We cannot thank the staff at Chef Jack's enough!

    Amazing food

    Our experience with Chef Jack's was truly wonderful. I (the bride) am vegetarian and I was adamant about not wanting to eat a sad mushroom or some other token vegetarian meal at my own wedding! Chef Jack's was amazing in helping us choose a menu that would satisfy both me and the meat-eating groom. Many of our guests came up to us after dinner and said it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten, and I have to agree! We did stations and my personal favorite was the macaroni bar. Thank you so much to Chef Jack's for helping make our wedding so amazing!

    Chef Jack's is Top Notch

    Chef Jack's is amazing! Because of covid, we were unable to do the tasting in person back in March, but Eric arranged it so that we were able to take everything to go so we could still sample before deciding on a menu. They took extra safety precautions for the wedding itself and made us and our guests feel safe. The food was also absolutely delicious - both the appetizers and entrees. They even included chocolate covered strawberries to serve with our cake and bailey's in little chocolate cups. The guests LOVED it. We got so many compliments on the food. Highly recommend!!

    Incredible Staff!

    As a wedding planner, it is so important that the catering staff hired is tuned in to make my clients day seamless! Chef Jack's staff (Sandy included) did just that! After an incredibly fast room flip at the Atrium in Shorewood, their team got the tables set and ready to go ahead of schedule. The food was hot and everyone raved about all of the courses! I cannot wait to work with Chef Jack's again!
