  I highly recommend Harry Caray’s for wedding catering! Everyone who worked there was fabulously helpful, and even the transition from one catering director to the next went very smoothly. Martha in particular went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. She responded patiently to my gazillion emails, attended a venue walk-through, was there to oversee the set-up the day-of, and even arranged a last-minute cake stand and cupcake trays for us to use.
  
  Our guests RAVED about the food, especially the salmon, beef, and assorted desserts. The buffet was beautiful, and the food was replenished frequently. The staff were all wonderful. Thank you to Harry Caray’s for making our wedding so amazing!

  We worked with Gabi from Harry Caray's and loved working with her. She remembered everything that we discussed at our initial meeting and threw in extras at no extra charge! Here were some pluses- she threw in 2 of our favorite liquors into the open bar at no extra charge, she also offers mixed specialty drinks for the bride and groom, and she worked to get us within our budget for the food! We had SO MANY compliments that our food was delicious, and that is so rare for a wedding! The best part is that they normally keep the bar open during dinner, so that made our guests very happy. Their food is delicious and their tasting is awesome, and we loved working with her!!!

  Gabbi at Harry Caray's did a fantastic job with our wedding! She was fantastic to work with and certainly a great help to us in planning our wedding. She was a pro and answered all our questions. On our wedding day, she exceeded our expectations and the boat looked amazing!!! There was a lot of coordination involved and she did not miss a beat! Very thorough and great event planner! The food was amazing, and we received so many compliments on our food at our wedding!! Would highly recommend HARRY Caray's especially if it is being planned by Gabbi!

  We had a Chicago themed wedding on July 16, 2011 -- and what other to cater our wedding -- but a Chicago institution --- Harry Caray's. We had heavy hors d'oeurves which for a late evening wedding was the perfect choice. We dealt with Gabi -- as she is the off site catering manager. Gabi is a true professional in every sense of the word. Every detail was paid attention to; if there were questions/concerns, she promptly responded. In addition, she also offered her recommendations when I was in doubt and everything was absolutely beautiful!!! Guests were telling me all evening as to how wonderful the food was. I have even had numerous guests state that the never been to Harry Caray's Restaurant before - but after the wedding that the are going to make it a point to go as the food was fabulous!! Thank you to Gabi and her staff!!! If I could rate you, your staff and the food higher than 5 stars -- I would.

  I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Harry Caray's! We worked with Gabi from the start and she was amazing to work with. They are flexible with budgets and are not pushy at all.
  
  Everyone (seriously everyone) raved about our food!! We went with more appetizer type food than a sit down meal, and people were telling me they were stuffed by the end of the evening.
  
  Gabi and her staff did an amazing job of setting up everything and the servers and bartenders were great.

  We hosted our rehearsal dinner at the Harry Caray's in Water Tower at the Chicago Sports Museum, and very happy we did so! It was a unique venue, that offered good food and an awesome atmosphere! The process started out great, then got rocky as they were going through staffing changes, but in the end, we were set up with Samson, who was wonderful. He got back to me asap with any questions/menu changes that I had and we couldn't have been happier! Our guests loved the food and raved about the whole experience!

  Allthough responsiveness from the catering manager was touch and go (it often took several emails to get a resopnse back), we were very happy with our rehearsal dinner. Our event was at the Navy Pier location and the staff and food were fantastic.
