    1000/10 would recommend!

    Planning a wedding is wild, and one of the biggest areas of complexity is catering. We wanted a sophisticated and refined experience, with food that would be memorably good, and fun details that would blow our guests minds. We got all that and more with Chic Chef and Lucy.

    From our very first phone calls and emails, through our big day, the whole team was friendly and professional in all the right ways. The balance between the two can be hard, but we never felt like it was purely a business transaction. Lucy and the team were incredibly flexible and accepting of some of our weird ideas (like banana margaritas), and generally just took away all the stress.

    They gained our confidence quickly within the first tasting and conversation around that, and had our trust as they guided us through what would look nice, go over well, what was reasonable and what wasn't. They clearly do this often, and do it well.

    Their existing relationship with our venue and some of our other vendors definitely helped, but it never felt like we were on the sidelines.

    On the big day, it was so fun to see Lucy and the team in execution mode. She was so attentive to us, and displayed a cool air of confidence that helped ensure we didn't even have a momentary thought that anything could go any other way than perfect. Everyone loved the food, the portions were immaculate, glasses were never empty, and our signature drinks and late night street tacos went off without a hitch.

    We cannot recommend Chic Chef, Lucy, and the whole team enough! The only part we're sad about is not having an excuse to interact with the team more regularly, and that no one will live up to the bar they set again.

    Awesome food and great people

    I cannot recommend Chic Chef enough! The food and service was fantastic. We got a lot of compliments and they were flexible as we changed aspects of the service/menu up to the last minute and asked for an 8+ hour open bar. Staff was great as well. Responsive, patient, thorough, and committed to their clients.

    The Best Caterer

    Wonderful company and service! Ravi and his team take care of your every need!! They worked with us and allowed us to custom tailor our menu! Helped us with meals for friends who were vegan and gluten-free! They even allowed us to purchase our own alcohol which they served for us. I am going to recommend this company to all of my friends! Guests loved the food too! The best service I have had at a wedding!

    A Fantastic Vendor!

    Everyone we worked with at Chic Chef did everything in their power to make our wedding as great as possible. From the planning, to the tasting, to the actual meal, Chic Chef did everything very well. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to work with a professional staff and enjoy some great food on your special day.

    Great food and service!

    Ravi and Lucia were great! Lucia was extremely attentive to emails and the company overall made it a point to adjust the menu to our liking. They even added our favorite diet drinks to the bar. The servers on the day of were very attentive and asked us consistently if we needed any food or drinks throughout the night. We had a server just for us at our sweetheart table. The food was excellent from the tasting all the way to the big day. We even had some meals extra because some people didn't show and that they let us take it home. We had some people cancel because of mitigating circumstances and they allowed us to refund those 2 meals. Overall great service and would highly recommend!

    Incredible!

    Chic Chef was incredible to work with and had such a big part of making sure our day went smoothly, and the food was incredible! On top of that, the pricing is incredibly reasonable. They truly check off every box.

    We got so many compliments about the food from guests, which isn't always super common with other weddings I've been to! They offer such a wide selection of types of foods and we had a hard time picking our menu because there were so many great choices! We also utilized them for bar service, and the bartenders were great.

    Their team was so helpful in helping to set up and take down so much of our decor which I was SO very appreciative of! All of their staff members the day of our wedding were so helpful and professional, and really made sure that we were taken care of and happy. Additionally, working with them in the months leading up to the wedding was great and they made it so easy to customize things to the way we wanted!

    Would absolutely recommend Chic Chef to anyone planning a wedding in the Chicagoland area!

    Incredible Experience

    Chic Chef was incredible to work with and the food was awesome! Ravi and Lili were incredibly flexible and went above and beyond to make our day special. The service was fantastic from the day we contacted them through the wedding day, we truly could not have asked for anything more! They were so accommodating to all dietary restrictions and our guests gave glowing reviews of the food and service! In addition to delicious food and perfect service, Chic Chef’s prices are very reasonable.

    Great food, great price

    We can not say enough good things about Chic Chef. We hired them for our May 2022 wedding. After our initial tasting we were blown away by how good the food was and how reasonable the price was. We assumed there was no way the food would be as good on the day of the wedding. We were wrong. Everyone raved about the food! We had multiple guests with special diets and all were accommodated. The staff was attentive and friendly! We’d recommend Chic Chef to anyone getting married.

    Hands Down The BEST!

    From the day of the tasting up until the end of our wedding, working with Ravi and the Chic Chef team was nothing but spectacular. Having a palate for finer foods, I knew that I wanted the food at my wedding to be spectacular; and it was everything and more! Nothing but amazing remarks on the food from all our guests and some guests went up for 2nds and even 3rds (buffet style)!

    Not only was the food amazing, but the whole team was efficient, energetic, and professional. They worked well together as well as with all other vendors involved during the day. I cannot thank Ravi and his team enough for knocking it out of the park and helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect.

    Book with Chic Chef!

    I honestly cannot recommend Chic Chef enough. Every single person I interacted with was incredibly helpful and clearly loved their jobs. Their food tasted delicious and the service was quick and efficient on the day of. I love how the is a twist on standard wedding food, all of the guests were blown away. Beyond their delicious food, they are organized and communicative throughout the entire planning process. The captain and crew working that day of made sure that they went above and beyond to take care of anything going wrong so that the bride and groom have a seamless day. I seriously cannot sing their praises enough. Book with Chic Chef Catering, you won’t regret it.

    Chic Chef was the absolute best caterer we could have ever imagined for our wedding! After several postponements, changed plans, roadblocks, etc., they were there to work through everything with us. The food is AMAZING. All of our guests were obsessing over the meals. Not only that, but their staff was incredible to work with. From event managers, to wait staff, to cooks, to bartenders, to coordinators -- all of them were amazing. Don't hesitate to hire them, just do it! Ravi knows what he is doing!

    Awesome Wedding

    Ravi and his team at Chic Chef Catering were one word...UNBELIEVABLE!!! We could not have asked for a better experience from start to finish working with these folks. From planning and selecting a menu, all the way to the day of service and assistance, it was all beyond our expectations. These folks were on top of every detail throughout the process and made our wedding so enjoyable. Their team ensured myself and wife were taken care of at all times. It was an absolute pleasure working with them and I would 1,000% recommend using them for any event.

    The Best Caterers!!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for the beautiful wedding that we were able to have realized because of working with you as not only our caterer but our saviors with last-minute needs! We literally cannot thank you enough. The drinks were awesome, the food was delicious, we had a head table & ceremony chair cushions thanks to you (!), the coordination of everything was smooth & seamless, and above all the entire Chic Chef team was so kind, attentive, and THE BEST!! It could not have come together without all of you and we are so thankful and grateful to have worked with you.

    We have received SO many compliments from our guests on the exceptional service, the friendly bartenders, & how much people loved their food. Everything was amazing & you all are the best, thank you thank you!!

    Good food, good service, good people. Hire them!

    The food is AMAZING! Chic Chef has done such an amazing job with the food, the service, and responsiveness. Huge shoutout because they also introduced Myrna, our coordinator. The service was so on point that everyone at the wedding raved about them. Let’s talk about the food- everyone raved about the raspberry glazed salmon and the veggie lasagna! If you are looking for something other than the regular chicken dish at your wedding, get the salmon! The presentation of the tables was just perfect as well!

    Chic chef is amazing! Especially Jorge!!!

    Chic chef was amazing from start to finish. Ravi and Lily are so incredibly nice and helpful! The tasting was perfect and they delivered the same quality at our wedding. People couldn’t stop talking about the amazing service. I wanted to shout out Jorge specifically because he was more than attentive. He brought out appetizers to the wedding party during pictures!!! So many weddings I have gone to and been a part of where the wedding party, even the bride and groom do not get their appetizers! He made sure my husband and I didn’t get up to get anything during dinner and we never went without a drink in our hand during the whole reception! Couldn’t have asked for anything more.

    We were so happy that we used Chic Chef to cater our wedding. From the planning period to the big day they were so communicative and helpful. I so appreciated that I did not have to worry about the logistics because everyone at Chic Chef was so on top of everything. The food was absolutely delicious the day of and they made sure that everything was catered to our specific needs. I would definitely use them again or recommend them to anyone with an event!

    The best food and service!

    I am so happy I had Chic Chef Catering at my wedding. The food was hands down the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding and every guest said the SAME thing. My brother also used Chic Chef at his wedding so I got to taste quite a few different menu items and they were all incredible and impressed me so much. And now my mom wants to start ordering Chic Chef catering for family parties because of how good EVERYTHING was. Working with Ravi and his team was wonderful. Everyone was SO helpful and friendly it was a great experience. My entire wedding went so smoothly and without any issues and I can thank chic chef for being so professional and organized. I would recommend this company to anyone having any event! Thanks again!!!

    Don't think twice: THIS is your wedding caterer

    We made a last minute change to our wedding plans and moved our reception from a downtown restaurant to a backyard in a tent. With only one month's notice, Chic Chef happily and excitedly took on the role of being our caterer for our new COVID wedding. Ravi and Lilly were absolutely PHENOMENAL to work with from start to finish. Their attention to detail, flexibility, and staff were incredible. We had guests with severe food allergies, and Chic Chef made sure that they had a good, full meal that they were able to eat. His servers walked around and gave guests fresh drinks, and as the bride and groom, we didn't have to go up to the bar once! I always had a fresh drink in hand and could stay on the dance floor the whole night. The food was AMAZING and they cook everything on site (so there is no overcooked food in the tin containers with burners underneath). Our guests raved about the food, and we had several newly engaged guests say that they plan to hire Chic Chef if they need a caterer for their wedding. Hiring Chic Chef was one of the best decisions we ever made, and I wouldn't think twice about hiring them if you're in need of a caterer for your next event!
