    Fabulous experience

    My daughter Eileen's wedding was on January 13, 2024. Our experience with Dana and her crew was outstanding. They incorporated everything my daughter wanted for her special day and then some! The Food For Thought menu was superb and delicious! We could not have been more pleased with the experience from start to finish! Thank you for making our celebration so magical! It was an absolute pleasure working with you all! Dana a true asset to the organization.

    Top Notch Chicago Catering

    OUTSTANDING!!  From the day we had the tasting to the day of the wedding, we were blown away by the quality of the food, service, and presentation.  

    Our guests were raving about how fantastic the food was!  Not only did they say it was the BEST wedding food they've ever had, but some of the best food ever.   Our guests were given the option between the Herb Rubbed Beef Tenderloin, Grilled French Chicken Breast, or Hand Rolled Ricotta Gnocchi. I am so glad I had the option of tasting all the dishes because it would've been a shame to miss out on all the awesome flavors.  

    We worked with Lorena and she was fantastic!   Not only did she provide great advice on selecting the courses, but she also gave great recommendations for little ways to make an impact without going over budget.  She was professional, patient, and creative. 

    Pricing may be a bit higher than some of the other caterers, but have no doubt, you get what you pay for with FFT.

    Not your average catering vendor! 5 star quality and service!

    Food is one of those aspects that people will remember about your wedding and truthfully it’s the most important. We had a lot of guests wirh allergies and restrictions so it was important to work with a team that were accommodating but also just provided a great customer experience since they was one of our prioritizes. Not just that but serve amazing food that people would enjoy eating. FFT did all of the above!

    Everything was perfect and we could not have been happier with our decision to go with FFT. From the servers to bartenders and most importantly the food, we heard nothing but compliments on our wedding day. The guests even told us that they wiped their plates clean and this was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding before!

    My planner and I worked with Dana, who was on top of everything all the time. There was no detail missed and she also coordinated working with an additional company for rentals because of the look we wanted to achieve.

    The compliments we are still receiving about how people felt like they were getting a gourmet meal is unreal. A great experience and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a catering vendor!

    Couldn't be better

    We had Food for Thought at our wedding, and we could not be happier. The food was fantastic and perfectly matched the tasting. We had a wide variety of options, and they catered to our every need. We had a steak, chicken, and pumpkin gnocchi option for the main course, and they were all incredible!

    Loved working with FFT

    Highly recommend FFT for your wedding caterer. Everything from our tasting to contract revisions to the actual night of the wedding was exceptional! Lorena was so patient with us asking for different pricing and revisions and we never felt pushed into purchasing a certain thing or making a certain upgrade. Our food was delicious and Lorena was always professional and helpful - nothing more we could have asked for!

    Amazing experience with Food for Thought!

    Wow. Food for Though exceeded all of my expectations. My partner and I got married this past weekend at the Adler Planetarium and the food was absolutely amazing! Annie & Lauren made the process fun and simple from start to finish and I cannot thank them enough. The staff serving at the event were also wonderful, kind and attentive to the guests. I cannot say enough good things about Food for Thought!

    Great experience!

    We used food for thought to cater for our wedding and had a great experience! We worked with a coordinator who was an expert with our venue and she was honestly such a delight to work with - she answered any questions and was incredibly prompt and detailed with responses. The h'ors deuvres, entrees and dessert bar all turned out exceptional!!

    Highly Recommend FFT!

    I worked with Food for Thought for my wedding in Chicago in July 2023 and everything was perfect. Our contacts were extremely diligent, helpful and knowledgeable and everything went very smoothly on our wedding day. Leading up to the event helping us pick all the food as well as linens and other tableware was easy. On top of all of this, the food was absolutely delicious. We've been told by multiple people that it was the best wedding food they've ever had (especially the steak we had!!). Highly highly recommend!

    Aidan & Ethan

    Could not be happier with our experience with FFT. From the start they were the most responsive and flexible of any caterer I reached out to. Lorena scheduled a call with me right away to talk about what was important to us and gave us some amazing options. They took the time to answer all of our questions and accommodate all the dietary needs of our guests. Our guests raved about our food from the passed apps to the late night snacks on the dance floor. Would (and will) highly recommend to anyone looking for catering! Thank you to Lorena & team for helping make our wedding a perfect day :)

    Best Catering Experience

    Wow, wow, wow. FFT exceeded all of our expectations. This started with the tasting - the professionalism and quality was on display at our tasting. We left knowing we were hiring them for our wedding.

    Anna D. took our quirky station ideas and coordinated the most delicious range of options - we had a taco station with a Walking Taco, Al Pastor tacos, and elotes, a Mediterranean station with falafel, chicken skewers, and mezze, and a traditional meat and potatoes carving station. Our cocktail bites were incredible -- the short rib grilled cheese was a HIT!! Finally, they even put together special requests for our petite sweets - a coffee cake cupcake and a cannoli -- which we didn't get to try!! The cannolis were the first to go and our guests kept saying over and over that it was the best cannoli ever. We're so glad everyone got to enjoy them!! Our guests RAVED about the food the whole night (and continued to rave as the week after went on!)

    Now to the service. Everything was IMPECCABLE. FFT put together a platter of our appetizers in our room after the ceremony, the Supervisor made sure we had plates from each of our station so we could enjoy our food that we so lovingly decided on, and just made sure everything was seamless. The servers were so professional and so considerate.

    Highly Recommend FFT for Weddings

    We were so impressed with FFT and Lorena's help from our initial tasting and planning all the way through wedding day. FFT was reasonably priced compared to other vendors and we've had so many compliments from guests on how great the food and service was. Our dinner on wedding night was just as good as the initial tasting!

    The Perfect Wedding Caterer For Foodies!

    I am a proud foodie. Therefore, food at my wedding mattered. I wanted it to be a meal people would actually enjoy and potentially even rave about. We got married on 10/15/22 at the Sculpture Garden at Bridgeport Art Center and WOW, Food For Thought delivered above and beyond. I researched multiple caterers, did multiple tastings and landed on Food For Thought as the best option for our budget, the responsiveness and the stellar menu options. And I am SO happy we did. Multiple guests told me “it was the best food at a wedding I’ve ever had,” “The gnocchi was my favorite gnocchi ever!” From the first tasting, Food For Thought was incredible to work with. The tasting is such a thoughtful experience, complete with welcome drinks that were our favorite cocktails. Lorena was the most amazing partner in helping us bring our menu to life and our entire vision. From the look and feel of the place settings, to securing a s’mores bonfire pit station to the service, it was more like a well run restaurant than a caterer. I can’t say enough good things about our experience in working with Lorena and the entire FFT team or the actual food. They truly helped bring all our foodie dream details to life at our wedding. HIGHLY recommend hiring Food For Thought for your wedding!!

    Exceptionally Incredible Bar Service!

    Our venue referred us to Food for Thought and we couldn't be more pleased that they did. We worked with Lorena leading up to the big day and she was extremely professional, quick to reply, and very helpful. As we had to make modifications to guest totals leading up to the event, they were quick with the changes. From the moment their team arrived on our wedding day, they were super fun and ready to party! Our guests had such a blast because of their team's humor, attentiveness, and kindness. They were very prepared, the bar set-up looked beautiful, and they were even seeking me out as the bride to ensure I always had a drink. We had pins for our guests and their team even wore them behind the bar...and signed our guest book! They were a true joy and made our wedding so memorable from start to finish. We 100% recommend Food for Thought and are hopeful we can work with them again. Thanks FFT!

    Creative and Delicious!


    Food for Thought was one of the four pre-determined choices that my wedding venue gave us to choose from, but I honestly think we may have ended up there anyway! Their creativity and all around incredible food made it an easy choice. In addition, they were incredibly friendly and flexible. We were planning our wedding in 2021 into 2022, and Covid was still an uncertainty - they were our only vendor that allowed us to negotiate in a Covid clause. We also were able to do our tasting prior to actually signing officially with them, which put our minds at ease. We also wanted to incorporate some asian flavors to honor my asian heritage, and they were so flexible with us in allowing us to do that but also keep a somewhat traditional wedding menu. I have to say as well, that Lorena was incredibly responsive and very helpful - she had very clearly done many events at my venue in the past, and knew my venue manager well, which made everything much easier. She was able to read my mind - recommending all linens I loved, and helping me through deciding on extras, like Chargers or No Chargers… she also was extremely helpful when it came down to bar placement, which I struggled with, and really appreciated her input. We also did our wedding cake through FFT (which my wedding planner had never heard of), but the cake was truly so delicious - we are still receiving compliments on it!

    Would highly recommend FFT! I felt we didn't fully take advantage of all of their creative abilities, but it really feels like the sky is the limit! If you can, Lorena is incredible as well :)

    Professional team and delicious food!

    Our Food For Thought (FFT) coordinator Annie and the catering team were amazing from start to finish! FFT is the exclusive caterer for Adler Planetarium, which was our venue for our Sunday wedding. Annie was our contact from the very start, when we requested price quotes for the venue, and all the way to the end, which was the day of the wedding. When Annie first worked up the wedding proposal and catering contract for us, we were a little hesitant by the pricing because it was on the higher end of our budget. However, Annie helped us find solutions to the menu and their services so that we could stay within budget. The venue itself was not that expensive, and FFT catering/trucking/table & linen rentals made up the bulk (~75%) of our wedding spend for venue + catering. Throughout the wedding planning process, Annie was a joy to work with: extremely responsive and prompt with her emails, highly detail-oriented and organized, and super friendly in all forms of communication (email, phone, web conference, in person)! Annie really made a big difference in reducing the stress of our wedding planning. She was there with us during on-site visits and day-of. Marisa stepped in for her while Annie was on leave, but when Annie returned, it was as if she was never out of office because she remembered all the details of our event. She was also extremely patient and answered all of our questions thoroughly and accommodated our requests. We planned our wedding long-distance (both of us live in Colorado but grew up in Chicago), but Annie and FFT were very flexible with our schedules and we made it work via online communication and well-planned visits to Chicago. And last, but not least, the food was amazing! We were very pleased with the food during our tasting at the FFT Lincolnwood location, but we were SUPER HAPPY with the quality of the food on the day of our wedding. We loved the different fusion items available (like Vietnamese meatball and Za'atar chicken thigh skewer), and they were all very tasty. FFT noted our revision requests to certain items, like making their grilled cheese completely vegetarian or swapping out the flatbread on a smoked salmon bite. Our guests loved the specialty cocktail (Blueberry Fields Forever - gin, blueberry liqueur, blood orange juice) which was nice and refreshing on a hot summer day, as well as all of the hors d'oeuvres and passed late night snacks and desserts. Our guests have been to many weddings, and most agreed this was the best food they've had at a wedding. We had more of a cocktail party reception versus a sit-down dinner, but it worked in our favor for both costs and variety of foods. We only wished we ordered higher quantities because our guests kept asking for more. All in all, the FFT coordinators, servers, and bartenders were friendly, helpful, and professional. We didn't have the pleasure of meeting the chefs, but a big kudos to them for putting out so much amazing food! We highly recommend Annie and FFT for your wedding, especially if you have Adler as your venue!

    A Perfect Experience!

    Food For Thought did a fantastic job on our wedding. Linda Barder was great to work with! She was attentive to every detail and was on-site to ensure the evening was smooth so we could enjoy our guests. The server and culinary staff were excellent and anticipated all our guests' needs. Let's talk about the food! AMAZING! We did action stations for our wedding - beef tenderloin, risotto, antipasto, and branzino fish! A week later guests are still talking about how incredible the food was! Thank you for making it a perfect evening!

    We are so grateful to Food for Thought - I never knew that wedding food could be SO DELICIOUS, and we were lucky enough to have that delicious food on the most special day of our lives. Not only was the food delicious, but everything logistically with their catering was seamless. We had no problems, and they went above and beyond with everything. Our guests are STILL talking about how spectacular the food was, and I imagine they will be for years. I know we will. Thank you thank you thank you for contributing so much to making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

    Recommended for Catering & Day-Of-Coordination

    I HIGHLY recommend FFT for catering & Annie as day-of coordinator! Our venue was Adler Planetarium, where FFT has an exclusive contract. Because of this, the entire FFT team knew the venue inside & out. Annie met us to walk through the venue and is very knowledgeable about the space & options for layout & flow. We worked with Annie for close to a year on all details related to rentals, catering, lighting, menu, and layout, and when we decided we wanted to use FFT for day-of-coordination as well, we were over the moon to find out that Annie would be paired with us for this, too! We also worked with Marisa & Melissa for our tasting while Annie was on leave, and they were amazing. The process was seamless and as a detail-oriented person, I was grateful for the entire FFT team's thorough, thoughtful approach. They are true professionals!

    Working with Annie for day-of-coordination put my mind at ease leading up to the wedding. I was in excellent hands and Annie communicated each step, timeline, and option. She made me feel comfortable & empowered to include what I wanted and was a great help in evaluating what would not work well, and what would. I came to rely on her extensive experience working in events & weddings at our venue, and I am so glad that I did. During the wedding itself, Annie was calm & focused, checking with me on details and for the few last-minute changes I wanted (like rearranging the head table layout), Annie made it happen quickly & efficiently. Annie's masterful direction of the day gave me the opportunity to be fully present & really savor the wedding & reception. My husband, family, and I are so grateful to Annie for making this experience truly perfect!

    The entire FFT team was gracious, professional, and a joy to work with! My family and I are big foodies and loved the elegant, creative, and delicious options to pick from during the menu selection. SO many of our guests complimented the food, which was as excellent during the wedding as it had been during our tasting many months earlier. Our guests had numerous allergies & dietary needs, and FFT handled the complexities with great care. They made what I'm sure was a headache seem effortless, and I know our guests appreciated it!

    I would recommend FFT for any catered event, and if you get the opportunity to work with Annie, you will have an amazing experience!

    Best chicken I've had in my entire life!

    Food for Thoughts exceeded our expectations! I am a wedding florist, but this time I was the bride. I've worked with many vendor professionally, Food for Thought has always been any ideal teammate. Being on the opposite side, as a client, was an even better experience. The food was literally the best food I've had in my entire life. I highly recommend the Frenched Breast of Citrus Marinated Chicken. Several family members were asking for the recipe. It happened to be a cold and windy day during a hot wave in June. We had to make a snap decision to move the reception to an area less effected by the weather. Food for Thought JUMPED into action, made the whole transition smooth, and honestly it was a better experience than the original plan. I highly recommend Food for Thought. Anna Zuniga and Meaghan Tiberio were a dream to work alongside.

    Excellent Service and Food

    Throughout the planning, booking, and execution of our wedding, one vendor stood out above the rest. Meaghan Tiberio and her team made sure that we felt prioritized from the second we met them. They had a wonderful catered tasting ready for us at their test kitchen. They were prompt in communications. They ensured that all of the food options met our guests' needs. They did a wonderful job managing our venue space. Their servers made the meal feel elegant, rather than catered. But above all else, Meaghan personally made sure that me and my wife felt taken care of, including helping us with other troublesome vendors. I would highly recommend FFT to anyone booking a wedding in Chicago. 5 star experience.

    Thank you!

    We had our Indian wedding reception at Adler Planetarium over Memorial Day Weekend in 2022. Our experience working with the Adler/FFT team was very positive. They were responsive to all of our questions and requests throughout our planning process and even allowed us to push our date due to COVID without any difficulty.

    Coldplay ended up having a concert at Soldier Field the very same night so we were worried about getting our guests to Adler on time for our event. The Adler team was extremely communicative and transparent with us on how to best handle the situation and helped to ease our stress as well as ensure that our guests arrived safely and on time.

    The tasting experience was also great. The presentation of the food was exactly the same as the tasting which we appreciated. Our ONLY issue was that on the day of the event, the food seemed to run out quickly at each table and some of our guests did not get to try each dish that we selected as it was a family style dinner. Our recommendation would be to refill dishes or provide more of each dish if possible!

    On the day of, everything was exactly what we hoped for. We simply showed up and were absolutely blown away at how beautifully the venue was set up. Everything went off without a hitch thanks to Annie and her team! We appreciate everything that they did for us to make our event truly the best night of our lives!

    Great Experience for the Wedding Couple and Guests Alike!

    From start to finish, we could not have been more happy with Kacilynn Zimmerman and Food For Thought. Every little detail from our pictures on the menu at our initial tasting to a small plate of appetizers in our room because they knew how busy we'd be on our wedding day just made working with them very special. Their menu is diverse and offers a lot of options. Everything served on our wedding day was just as delicious and well presented as it was at our tasting.

    Kacilynn, our specific representative, took professionalism to the next level. She demonstrated leadership yet offered flexibility with every step of the process. She was extremely responsive to e-mails and phone calls and really seemed to enjoy her job. She worked so well with our other vendors and acted more of a friend on the actual wedding day than a caterer. She had a mastery knowledge of her company as well as the wedding industry in general. If available, she is definitely someone you should work with.

    Again, we can't say enough good things about Food For Thought. They will make whatever type of event your are hosting better than you could ever imagine.

    Highly recommend


    Food for Thought Catering made our wedding an absolute culinary delight. From the moment we began planning, their team displayed exceptional professionalism and flexibility. They seamlessly executed our vision, creating a customized menu that delighted every palate, including those with dietary restrictions. The presentation was nothing short of artistry, with each dish expertly prepared and beautifully plated. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious food and impeccable service.

    So happy with FFT!

    We were so pleased with both the food and service we received from Food for Thought for our recent wedding! They were very receptive to our idea of large charcuterie table instead of passed appetizers (even the Wisconsin attendees were very impressed with the cheese selections)! The dinner entrees were served quickly, and we received many compliments from our quests. Overall, we were extremely happy with FFT!

    Annie is the best!!

    Food For Thought was absolutely amazing! Annie was literally the best - she was so helpful and kind and answered my 6 million questions and eased all of our concerns. Night of the wedding she took care of everything and made sure we had the perfect night. Multiple people commented on how good the short rib was too!
