    Best Food and Service! HIGHLY Recommend!

    I had my wedding at The Farmhouse in Plainfield and hired Marie’s Catering for my big day. My husband and I worked with Amanda, and she made what can very well be an overwhelming and stressful process, an easy and enjoyable one for us! She was beyond kind and helpful; she also was very courteous on our budget and overall vision for our big day and DID NOT disappoint! My wedding was about four months ago now, and I still have my guests talking about how delicious my food was and how friendly the catering staff was. Amanda and her team have so many flavorful options. The presentation was gorgeous and the meals were extremely filling. I am trying to think ahead to my next event, so I have an excuse to hire them again! I cannot recommend Marie’s Catering enough!!

    Look no further!

    To start this review, I have to rave about Amanda. She is AMAZING! She is very knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. She answered all of our questions and was there to make sure everything went smoothly on our wedding day. She genuinely cares about your big day. She is lovely.

    The food and bar! The food was so great. From the appetizers to the plated dinner, everything we ate was delicious. The staff was so kind too. We had an open bar with two signature drinks. I heard from a couple guests that the bartenders helped them pick a fun drink and they really enjoyed how helpful they were.

    Thank you to Amanda and everyone at Marie's for the amazing food and service at our wedding. You all rock!

    Thank you, Amanda!

    We are very grateful to Amanda at Marie’s catering for providing us with a wonderful catering service for our wedding on July 29, 2023. Amanda was available via email at any time, and she definitely went above and beyond to coordinate everything from the food, the table settings, and the entire flow of the day. She was extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. She listened to our and our guest's preferences and needs, and customized a menu that suited our taste and budget. The food was delicious, fresh, and plentiful. The staff was courteous, efficient, and attentive. Marie’s catering made our wedding reception a stress-free success and we’d highly recommend them to anyone who wants to have a hassle-free and enjoyable catering experience. Amanda, you rock! Thank you, Marie’s catering, for your amazing service!

    The staff and service was A+

    Amanda was amazing throughout the whole planning process, meeting with her was no different than meeting with a friend. She was so knowledgeable, flexible, and truly had our best interest at heart. Day of the man they sent (I forgot his name) was always checking in on us to make sure we were ok and helped push the day along appropriately. I read the reviews and booked with them because of the positive reviews and damn were they correct. Everyone that attended LOVED the food. We chose a family style dinner and people approached us during and even after to let us know the food was excellent. I didn’t get to eat much but from the tasting and little of what I did eat day of I couldn’t agree more. They catered to our little church in Willowbrook and all of our guests that weren't familiar with it not being an actual wedding venue assumed they worked there, they made an outside venue look like a traditional banquet hall. Loved everything about my experience with them, cake was also beautiful and fabulous. Planning a wedding in my opinion brings the most headache having to deal with and trust random individuals to make the day happen and damn did they deliver. Food and drink is such a big deal for weddings and dealing with this company was the easiest vendor we dealt with. No headaches, no inconsistencies, they were A+ in every aspect. Price was also incredibly fantastic as well. Couldn’t recommend them enough!! Thank you Amanda and staff!!

    Absolutely Phenomenal

    Amanda was absolutely amazing in helping us organize our food and drink menus. We also had a delicious sweets, late night snack, and Hors d'oeuvres selection. I don’t like cake but our wedding cake was very very good as well.

    I fully recommend asking for Amanda to assist you on your wedding day. She brought up a lot of good points that we never thought of and were able to implement into our wedding.

    As far as recommending their services to others, it won’t be needed because everyone at my wedding went out of their way to say how amazing the food was!

    Great food for an amazing price!

    My husband and I can't say enough good things about Marie's Catering. From the very beginning, Amanda was very helpful in answering our questions, being responsive, and working with us to create a menu that we wanted. We were astonished by how much food was provided at our tasting, all super yummy, and so we eagerly booked them for our reception. We opted for family style so each guest could enjoy all the dishes, and boy are we glad we did! We had DOZENS of guests come up to us that night, and since, RAVING about every dish. Everything being so delicious and cooked perfectly was even more impressive when you consider they served over 100 people. The servers were great and very attentive and even boxed up my husband and my leftovers, which was such a treat we were not expecting. I honestly don't think you could find better quality food, bar package, and service for the price. Highly recommend!

    Fabulous Choice!!

    Amanda was great! She really helped with the whole planning process leading up to and the day of the wedding. The wait staff was professional and the bar tender was great. Things were set up timely and efficiently and even helped with what we brought day of. I had numerous people come up to me and talk about the quality of the food. Overall, they were amazing and it is really a great value as well.

    Amanda is five stars!

    We met with Amanda back in 2019 to plan for my daughters wedding. Due to covid, the date was changed a total of three times. She worked with us to make sure her wedding (finally) was amazing!!! She made sure every thing was perfect down to the last little detail. The staff was phenomenal also! The best bartenders (and our family really made them work) ever and the servers were so professional and on point! I was a little afraid that maybe the food wouldn't be as great as the tasting. The food was delicious and so many guests raved about it, especially the appitizers! Would highly recommend Amanda and Marie's catering!

    Excellent all around!

    Marie's was a fabulous choice for our wedding. We had Amanda as our wedding coordinator and she was a great person to work with. Super responsive, always helpful, professional, and just a laid back person. She went above and beyond and always made us feel like everything was taken care of - which it was! We decided to do the family style service and we got many compliments on the food. I also made sure to try everything and agreed that it was all very tasty.
    Marie's also offers affordable packages which was obviously super helpful with how expensive weddings are. You may think this would bring down the quality, but it did not.
    I also have to mention that the bartender we had was amazing! He was super friendly and everyone loved him. The drinks were tasty and not watered down at all. We had so many people come up to us telling us how great the bartender was!
    Honestly, look no further.. great company! Thank you Amanda and Marie's staff for making our wedding day wonderful and easy :)

    Thanks Marie's & Amanda!

    Wow, I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Marie’s. We chose Marie’s after booking our wedding at Danada House, which took place in July. Amanda was truly AMAZING! Not only did she help us every step of the way, including through 3 rescheduled dates due to the pandemic, she went above and beyond for us, helping in every way to coordinate our reception. I felt so comfortable on the day, even though we didn’t have a wedding planner/coordinator. The food was fantastic, and our guests loved the late night snacks! If you are getting married at Danada House, Marie’s is your caterer! If you are not getting married at Danada House, look into Marie’s if you can! Thank you, Marie's & Amanda, for helping to make our wedding day absolutely perfect!

    Above and beyond!

    Hiring Marie's Catering was one of the best choices we made for our wedding at Danada House in Wheaton, IL. From our first meeting with Amanda it was clear that she is an expert in this field. She knew Danada House especially well and was able to guide us through the process. Also all of the food was amazing at our tasting!

    Amanda was an irreplaceable guide through the entire process. She was quick to respond to any questions or request. On the wedding day, we had to switch to an indoor ceremony and she handled this adjustment with ease. Amanda was present throughout the wedding day and checked in with us to make sure everything was going as we wished. The servers and bartenders were friendly and efficient.

    We would highly recommend Marie's Catering!

    Hire them.

    We can't say enough about how amazing Marie's Catering was. They were the best-priced option from the list of approved caterer's at our venue (Danada House), so from the start they were the winners. Then we learned they offer Polish sausage and the deal was done (requirement at a Polish wedding, and the fam was crazy for it. Polish sausage approved.) The rest of the food was DELICIOUS (Chicken a la Marie!!) and they let us bring a special bottle of champagne to serve to us (bride and groom). Amanda, our event coordinator was absolutely amazing and on top of everything. We didn't have a wedding planner or even day-of coordinator, but Amanda basically took care of everything we needed - setting up table settings, escort cards, guest book, etc. that we provided for her so we didn't have to worry about set-up. She even set up our minimal ceremony decor. They also provided our wedding cake, which was both beautiful and delicious, with the decor we provided. Everything ran on-time and smoothly thanks to Amanda's experience and familiarity with the venue and other vendors. We have nothing bad to say about them!

    Excellent!

    Amanda was so helpful, knew our venue well, and worked with us on all of the little details! We had some of our own glassware we wanted to use, and the staff took the time to wash and pack it up for us at the end of the night. Everything was set up perfectly, and the bar and wait staff were wonderful. The food was delicious. We highly recommend Marie's!

    So Happy We Choose Marie's Catering

    Our whole experience with Marie's Catering for our wedding in August was amazing. My husband and I had little knowledge about what it took to plan a wedding and they really helped us and made it so much easier and less stressful. A big part of that was Amanda Maciulis, the event specialist we worked with. She was amazing! Professional but friendly, detailed oriented, honest, hardworking, responsive, and so patient and helpful through everything. She put my mind at ease many times. She also referred us to some of our other vendors including our DJ and florist who we were also very happy with.
    I like Marie's because many of the different parts of a wedding were included in the package we choose, for example, linens and the cake so that was less work for us and a good value. We looked at several other caterers but Marie's food sounded good without being too simple, fancy or expensive. They had a good selection of options for entrees, sides, vegetables, and even late night snack options. The prices were very reasonable.
    The day of the wedding the service was excellent, my guests loved the food and everything looked great and went smoothly.
    I would highly recommend Marie's Catering to anyone.

I received many compliments to the food and the service. Ericka made sure that everything we wanted was perfect. I would highly recommend them for any event.

    We used Marie's for our catering for our 7/7 Danada House wedding. Marie's was one of my FAVORITE parts of the whole day, and I cannot say enough good about Marie's!! Ericka was our coordinator, and we met with her about 4 times leading up to our wedding. Ericka was a big reason that we decided to go with Marie's - organized, efficient, complete professional! We started emailing with Ericka, and every detail we mentioned, she had written down and memorized. Compared to other caterers that forgot details like my husband's nut allergies, we knew that Ericka would forget nothing - and she executed our wedding with no hiccups or flaws at all! From start to finish, Ericka knew our wedding down to every last detail. I asked what Ericka's thoughts were on hiring a day-of coordinator so I wouldn't have to worry, and Ericka assured me that was part of her role - and she was right! Ericka acted not only as our caterer but also a director of our whole reception. She walked us through every wedding detail and decision we could make (first wedding for both families!), and gave us excellent guidance along the way. Our food was INCREDIBLE! We had several guests ask if our caterer had a standalone restaurant they could visit because the food really is THAT good! (We had prime rib, stuffed chicken, and stuffed portabella - I can't even pick which is my favorite!). My husband LOVED their packages - we were able (for one reasonable price) to get everything included - hors d'oeuvres, our plated meal, our wedding cake (designed how we'd like), our bar package, our linens, a dessert bar, reception set-up, etc. They even gave us a discount on our flowers! We didn't have to skimp on anything as it was all included (other caterers felt like everything was just additional fees on top of an already expensive day). Our service on the wedding day was some of the best I've ever had. Marie's is seriously amazing!! Thank you so much, Ericka, for making our wedding so perfect!

    We got married at Danada House and Marie's was one of the approved caterers. We contacted Marie's and were amazed with the value as well as how professional Ericka was, answering all of our questions.

    We opted for the Peppercorn crusted Sirloin and the Chicken a la Marie. The meals were amazing. After dinner and the next few days, I probably had 20 plus people tell me that their dinner was amazing! Some of our guests said it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had, and that was definitely the case for us. I highly recommend the Chicken a la Marie and Yukon Mashed potatoes.

    Ericka was very helpful throughout the whole process and very organized with her emails. She answered all of our emails promptly and asked us questions so the night was extremely smooth. We can't thank her enough for everything she did.

    If you have a chance to hire a caterer, we highly recommend Marie's Catering! If we could rate them with 6 stars out of 5, we would!

    We used Marie's Catering for our June 23, 2018, wedding at Danada House. Working with Ericka was such a pleasant experience. She is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and hardworking, and works with you to meet your budget and contract needs. (She also got married at Danada, which was huge bonus!)
    At our tasting, I couldn't believe how good the food was. It was just as delicious the day of the wedding, and our guests raved about everything. We chose the platinum package with 3 passed hors devours, family style dinner, sweet table, and cake. I wound up upgrading the bar package last minute to the VIP.
    Marie's provides all linens and even sets up your escort cards, card box, guest book, bar frames, etc. for you.
    I highly recommend Ericka and Marie's for any catered event! :)

Their service was incredible and they catered to us so well! Everyone said the food was fantastic! Ericka and Amanda did an amazing job helping me plan and day of! I cannot say enough great things about Marie's catering and Ericka! ! I didn't have to worry about anything because you guys knew what you were talking about!

    We used Marie's Catering for our wedding & we are so happy we did. Victoria was very professional, experienced, and trustworthy. All my fears about who would do what, when, how.....she took care of everything. She was extremely quick with our inquiry. There were a ton of questions to answer but it was worth it to give us an accurate quote. Better to know WAY ahead of time all the costs. They can handle every need! Their prices were very reasonable, definitely more bang for your buck. She met with us in person, then we had a met at the venue so she can get a feel for the space/kitchen. We chose the platinum package, had family style dinner and added appetizers. The wedding cake was included in this package & was SOO good and gorgeous. On the day, the staff was pretty awesome. Professional, courteous, we really enjoyed them! Most weddings I go to, they're usually not very nice. We rented the place settings, really pretty/clean/shiny, glasses were spotless. The food.....OMG the food was really really good. My guests would not stop raving about the food and because it was family style....each guest was able to pick and choose what they wanted to eat. We will definitely go with Marie's Catering for our next event. Hire them & you will be glad you did!

    Ericka (our catering coordinator) and Marie's Catering overall was top notch! Everyone at my wedding raved about how amazing the food was. The service was phenomenal as well! I've been to several weddings and never had the degree of excellence that Marie's gave to us. There were a few hitches that happened that did not have to do with the catering, yet Ericka was a superhero and resolved everything quickly and efficiently! She was there for the entire night making sure everything went smoothly for us. I cannot say enough great things about this company - their quality is unmatched! They are well worth it!

    Marie's Catering was outstanding! Ericka Vetter was the events specialist that we worked with, and she was phenomenal. Her professionalism, prompt responses and overall ability to help us craft the perfect evening was impressive and relieving. Our unique requests were granted, the food was outstanding, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience.

    Marie's was listed as a preferred vendor for our venue and OMG did it exceed all expectations we had!!! The tasting was delicious and honestly made picking the food one of the hardest things of the whole wedding planning process! Ericka was a GODSEND and helped us with every step of the process and helped customize things to make the day perfect. On the day of they were professional and wonderful and everything went so smoothly. Afterword our guests couldn't stop talking about how good the food was (especially the potatoes!!!) CAN NOT RECOMMEND MARIE'S ENOUGH!!!! LOOOOOVED THEM!

    Is it vain to say our wedding had the best food & service out of any wedding we've ever been to, thanks to Marie's Catering? Nope. Just speaking the truth! Marie’s was outstanding from the start. Ericka, our coordinator, is on top of her game. She is professional, helpful, shares her expertise in situations that one may be unsure about, keeps track of every little detail, organized, trustworthy and helped us with our coordination. Ericka is extremely prompt and responded to our questions within the same day! Simply said, she was there every step of the way and made wedding planning super easy, smooth and fun! She would make changes for us with no problem or hassle. Our catering experience was stress free, thanks to Ericka! She even helped tweak our day-of timeline to help things flow a bit better, and she gave us advice about keeping the reception in a timely order so we did not miss out on anything. Every one of my vendors talked highly of Ericka, and I can see why! The best of the best! Now, let’s talk about the delicious food! Our guests are still raving about our tasty appetizers, the dinner, wedding cake and the huge, delicious sweet table with assortment of every yummy dessert out there! We made sure we sat down and tried everything because everyone was raving about it. We decided to go with a chef prepared burrito bar for late night snack, which was superb and awesome watching the chefs perform their magic in front of you. HUGE hit. Most have never seen before, yet have tasted THAT delicious of a burrito. Also, we had many dietary restrictions, half being extremely serious. They were so organized with executing this and made them delicious meals that were able to be tolerated. Our venue was The Danada House, which Marie’s has to come with food semi-prepared, and it was HOT! Having food hot is so uncommon for venues with on-site cooking, so having our food hot was the cherry on top. Marie's Catering should be called, "The dream team!" Thank you so much!!!

    If you're looking for a wonderful caterer, then look no further than Marie's! We started out working with Kathy (who retired at the end of last year) and then with Ericka. Throughout our whole experience, we always felt taken care of, listened to and valued. I have celiac and wanted to make sure that every entree we served was gluten free, more out of a matter of principal than anything. (Knowing what it's like to have dietary restrictions, I wanted to give my guests who are also gluten free an evening where they didn't have to ask any questions.) Marie's double checked and modified every ingredient without question or issue. We had many other guests with different dietary restrictions as well, and each of those was handled with utmost care. We couldn't have asked for a more attentive and thorough caterer. The food was delicious-- everyone was raving about it. Ericka checked in with us throughout the evening, making sure that everything was going alright and seeing if we needed anything. In all, Marie's was absolutely fantastic and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. My husband and I have already agreed that any and all parties we host in the future will without question be catered by Marie's!

    We worked with Ericka and Amanda for our wedding. Both were wonderful during the wedding planning process and at our event. They catered to our needs and religious dietary restrictions. Ericka is the person we worked with the most throughout the planning process. She offered many solutions to our problems and answers to all of our questions. Both she and Amanda made sure our wedding was perfect.

    When we started the process of looking for a caterer, one of the things that stood out the most was how unresponsive so many of them were. Marie's did a great job with always getting back to us in a timely manner and I cannot express how truly valuable that was and how much that reduce our stress level. The food at the tasting was phenomenal (with the chef bringing out some specialty dishes because he said he was excited to do an all vegetarian wedding). The food at the wedding was even better. The venue was more than an hour away, but you would have thought they were working in their own kitchen. The staff was not only professional and attentive, but they were fun. You could tell they enjoyed being there. Special kudos to both Ericka and Amanda. Both of these ladies stayed in contact with us throughout the process and made sure we had everything we needed.

    I know this will sound like a commercial, but If you want your catering done right, go to Marie's.

    Marie's Catering was great to work with for our entire planning process. I know a lot of friends were nervous booking a venue where they have to contract an outside caterer, and Marie's never made us regret our decision to do just that. The food was delicious and warm, the staff was amazingly responsive and professional, and they were able to accommodate many off the wall requests.

    Ericka, Kathy and Amanda were so great to work with. Ericka and I emailed back and forth for months, and she was always very helpful, quick to respond, and positive/enthusiastic. Marie's worked with me to design vegetarian and pescatarian options that were delicious! The meat eaters, seafood lovers, and vegetarians were all VERY happy about our entree selections. Everyone raved about the food...and the open bar! :) I would definitely work with Marie's again and have already recommended them to friends who are starting to plan their weddings!

    Thank you to Marie’s Catering for making my wedding so truly special. Everyone who attended my June 20, 2014 wedding at Danada House has raved about the food—most saying it is the best wedding food they ever had. The service was excellent as well. I think the packages were very reasonably priced and they were very accommodating with my menu and room setup requests.

    But what I found most important and exceptional about Marie’s was my experience with their Events Coordinator, Ericka Vetter. Ericka is fabulous to work with. She is sweet, helpful, very responsive, organized and knowledgeable. She gave me so many helpful tips and answered over a million questions during the planning process. I cannot thank her enough for her and everyone at Marie’s for their time and help in making my day one of the happiest in my life!

    Is it vain to say my wedding had the best food out of any wedding I've ever been to, thanks to Marie's Catering? Maybe. But it's true! Quality food and presentation were a priority for us. I still remember a wedding I went to when I was little, where my mom let me have McDonalds on the drive home because the food was so terrible. I didn't want our wedding to be remembered like that! Marie's was recommended by our venue (The Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet), as well as our DJ. It was definitely a nice perk to have companies that had worked together, especially at a place like the Rialto where everything had to be brought in.

    Marie's was excellent from the start. They offered comprehensive packages that included linens, chairs, cake, dessert, etc. One stop shopping! We went with the diamond package, and were so glad we did. Our guests raved about our delicious dessert table (their waist lines probably weren't as happy as they were, ha!). From their online options to our first tasting, we were impressed. They set up a nice little romantic table at their banquet hall and brought out our options - everything was absolutely delicious. On the day of, service was timely and our guests were very happy with the food.
    And Ericka, our coordinator. Wow. She was on top of everything. We booked pretty early, and had a lot of changes throughout our planning. She kept track of every little detail, helped us with our coordination, everything. Color swaps, dietary restrictions, last minute changes, limited information from our venue - she handled it all and kept our catering experience stress free. She even helped tweak our day-of timeline to help things flow a bit better, and gave us advice about keeping the wedding in order.
    Their albums don't do them justice. I was a little worried about our cake, since the pictures on their Facebook and their albums were so-so, but our buttercream cake had that sleek, polished look of fondant, and tasted 10x better!!

    We went with Marie’s Catering for our April 2014 wedding at Danada House in Wheaton, IL.
    Out of the 4-5 caterers I contacted, they were most reasonably priced and the quickest to respond. If they don’t have an answer for you right away, they will always email you back within few hours to let you know that they’re working on it so you don’t feel neglected.
    Ericka is an absolute joy to work with! She’s so well organized and on top of everything. We were told by many of our guests that our wedding was one of the most well executed and kid friendly wedding they’ve attended.
    We were also very happy with how our custom salmon dish (we requested miso glazed) turned out. Several guests made a point to tell us how much they enjoyed the food.
    We’re so happy we chose Marie’s. I would certainly recommend their services for any big events.

    I can't say enough about the staff at Marie's, from Victoria and Ericka, to the servers and bartenders at the wedding reception. So great to work with!! The food was delicious and was served in a timely manner. I loved the family style option which offered our guests multiple entree choices without leaving the table to stand in a buffet line, or limiting them to only one entree like a plated dinner would. All of our guests were served dinner at the same time! They did a tremendous job with set up before the ceremony and with clean up at the end of the evening. Our tables looked beautiful, and we were able to take advantage of a free upgrade to China place settings because we hosted our event at Danada House. Thank you for making our daughter and son-in-law's wedding everything they dreamed of!

    Having Marie's Catering provide the catering for our wedding was one of the BEST decisions I ever made! When you work with Marie's, you receive so much more than just great food. Marie's provides table linens, a wedding cake, centerpieces, and so much more, especially AMAZING service. They truly made my wedding planning that much easier and I am SO thankful that I chose Marie's. Our event coordinator Ericka was simply amazing! She was so helpful, personable, and informative, and she really worked with us to give us exactly what we wanted, throughout the pre-wedding process and during the reception. Marie's staff even helped to set up our table numbers, placecards, centerpieces, and other decor which helped to make my day that much more stress-free; I didn't have to worry about anything! And during the reception, the food was incredible, the service was wonderful, and the whole evening was just seamless. I am so thankful that we had Marie's Catering for our wedding day. Everything was better than I could have ever imagined, and I would gladly recommend them to any bride and groom!

    We used Marie's catering for our wedding this past June 2012. I loved them! We were married at Danada and had our reception there. It was so nice because they were so familiar with our venue, they knew the procedures and policys and came very prepared. I had a long 18 month engagement and started working with Erika V, she went on maternity leave a couple months before the big day and then we started working with Victoria. I was initially worried with the transition but quickly realized they had everything taken care of it was a seamless transition. Victoria was fantastic, I cannot say enough praise about her, she was taking last minute changes from me up until the wedding week (with guests canceling) she even switched tables around during cocktail hours to accommodate some of our guests that wanted to sit by each other. The week of the wedding she took a rubbermaid container full of stuff I had made and needed to brought to the ceremony. She listened and took notes for what I wanted. The day of I had assigned bridal party members to set up additional decor, and victoria and her team took over and did an excellent job. They were so much more than just caterers, they did an amazing job and am so thankful we chose them to caterer our wedding.
    Lastly, speaking of the food. It was delicious! So many of our family members came up to us and told us how great the food was and how delicious the dessert bar was. This was such great news to hear that so many people were amazed by the food they provided. Our wedding would not have been the same without them. The whole staff was fantastic to work with. We absolutely LOVED THEM!!

    I am so happy with how everything turned out. I got married at the Danada House in Wheaton and they have a list of approved caterers. I looked at all of them and Maries seemed to be the most professional and really seemed to know what they were doing. They really worked with me on prices and did an exceptional job and planning everything. My wedding was perfect in my eyes and I know that I owe so much of that to Ericka and her assistant Jaclyn. They had everything together and did not overlook anything. The food was so good as was the cake. The cake looked amazing. I gave them a picture of what I wanted and it was more beautiful than I could've imagined. If you use them for your wedding or any other event you will not be disappointed. I feel somewhat sad that it's all over and I don't have anything else to use them for at this point.

    Working with Marie's was a dream. Ericka was super responsive, organized and professional. She was also really flexible and extended her own work day to accommodate my husband's and my work schedule for pre-wedding meetings and our tasting, which was really wonderful for us. I found their prices to be very reasonable for everything that we got, and also felt that their package was very inclusive of everything we would need-food, bar, linens, cake, etc. I really appreciated how quickly Ericka responded to all of my emails, and the day of she was calm and excited for us, and everything was set up beautifully. Our cake was gorgeous, the bartenders were friendly and everything was set up exactly as it was supposed to be. If there were any problems, I never found out about them, which means the team was able to problem solve and make the day happen without causing us undo stress. I would very highly recommend Marie's Catering!!

    I can't say enough wonderful things about Marie's catering. They won us over at our very first meeting. We worked with Ericka and she was unbelievably helpful! We had a full tasting for just the two of us--get the beef, it's the best I've ever had! Ericka helped us plan our whole event--from the meal, to the cake, to the bar, to the timeline. She was patient with us as we wrestled with each decision--what color linens?--and kept us updated on the contract and any price changes along the way. Her staff made sure that all our little details--escort cards, family photos, favors, centerpieces, cake plates, etc, etc., all found their place at the venue. We had so many compliments on the food!!!! Everything was perfect!

    We chose Marie's to cater our Danada House wedding and could not have made a better choice! We worked with Victoria who was responsive and flexible to our requests. We chose a family style dinner and a sweets table dessert. Our guests RAVED about the food and didn't complain about the bar, either! More than just delicious food, Marie's staff was truly attentive on our big day. There were little things that made our lives so much easier - helping set up our centerpieces, making sure everything was perfect before the reception, and even taking care of the bride and groom in special little ways. We are so happy we chose Marie's!

    We used Marie's Catering for our wedding at Danada House 10/19/2012. Ericka was FANTASTIC to work with, extremely fast responding to any email request I had, and executed our evening to a T. We served our meal family style for about 130 guests because we wanted something a little different than the plated style. I felt that we got a good value for the price per guest which included open bar, and wine on all of the tables. We've almost been married a year, and I still remember how everyone raved about how fantastic the food and cake were. It's hard to please that many people when they come expecting "wedding food" Book them for your wedding at Danada!

    Marie's Catering did an exquisite job for our Chicago destination wedding. Their coordinator Erika did a great job working remotely with me and my mom on the west coast, and locally with my Chicago-based aunts to schedule tastings. She was able to work with our budget and my need for gluten-free options. She made it easy and ordered linens, chairs, scheduled staff for delivery and set up the day of. The service staff and manager were all extremely professional and gracious. They were flexible and helpful throughout the entire wedding. They decorated the tables beautifully and pre-plated salads so no guests would be waiting to eat. The buffet dinner was hot and frequently replenished. Marie's surprised us by adding beautiful decorations to the buffet table in our wedding colors! Guests raved about the food, it was elegant and delicious. We enjoyed the tilapia, chicken parmesan, and beef stroganoff. Attentive to clearing our plates and refilling drinks regularly, it felt like a plated dinner. Thank you so much Marie's!

    I read reviews of Marie's and specifically Ericka before signing a contract with them and all were glowing, especially for Ericka herself. The reviews made her sound like she walks on water. Now after having worked with her for the last year, I totally agree with those reviews! Ericka made the whole planning process easy. She was very professional, responsive, creative, and flexible. She stuck with us through many special requests, our wedding growing by 25%, and even worked with the Chef to create a special vegan meal to serve to many of my guests. Our guests are raving about the food and how good it was, and far from typical wedding food.

    Marie's Catering is an amazing place. Granted, it is very expensive, but you get great food and a wonderful wedding coordinator for the price. I probably emailed the woman at least 40 times, and she always responded very thoroughly and energetically. You can pick your cake based on anything you want - find pictures from online or if you have ideas - they are very flexible. The only thing is, if you live in Wheaton, it is a bit of a drive - which is why I did everything by email until the final meeting.

    Marie's offered us amazing food for an excellent price! They were extremely flexible with our requests of an open bar and dessert table in place of a cake. We were able to bring in our own chocolate dipped strawberries to add to our dessert table in place of a cake. When we ran out of different bottles at our bar, they immediately sent out a person to go and replace. Right on top of things...very organized and fun to work with!

    Ericka Vetter & her staff at Marie's was wonderful to work with. Reponded quickly to all our needs and changes and willing to work with anything we wanted. Gave their opinions but wasn't pushy with them. The Food was great and accomodated our vegetarian family members with a delicious option. They were efficient and professional all night. Mike, the Bartender was wonderful and professional as well. We interviewed many caterers and choose them and VERY happy we did. Would recommend them any time.

    I probably corresponded with their wedding coordinator over 100 times. She always gave me very thorough responses. The cost is steep, but the quality is worth it.

    Ericka Vetter (Emmett) is one of the most responsive vendors that I have worked with. Any question throughout the planning process was almost immediately answered via email. After months of research and a tasting, we have decided on Marie's Catering, a preferred vendor of The Rialto. This caterer handled The "Brady Wedding" with Adrienne and Chris back in 2006 and continue to cater a lot of the weddings there. I had first thought about bringing another caterer in from another area, but the issue was that the venue (Rialto) had very specific requirements and I definitely need a veteran of the venue to handle it. They are extremely flexible and creative and have worked on customizing are preliminary menu no matter what the request. They actually allowed for us to do a second tasting and we were very specific with the cuisine and service that we wanted for our guests. The taste and product on the wedding day was absolutely perfect! Many people commented that the food was the best "wedding food" they have ever had. I will, however, say that I am a little disappointed in two things. 1. the temperature of the food was not adequate; the dishes were at best luke warm (some not all) and this was at the family tables up close to us. The only forgiveness here is that the facilities at the Rialto are sort of small for food prep and the catering par-cooks the product on the way the. It is very difficult to serve there, but we were expecting what we were promised.. 2. We specifically paid for a 1 per 20 server ratio to insure quick and even food service. I was mortified to look up when I was completely finished eating (30 min passed) to see there were some dinner trays heading out to the guest tables. I do however, feel that the quality of the dish itself probably overshadowed those two points. I just feel a little misled that "everything will be taking care of because we do this all the time" comments made me feel like everything would be perfect. I have a feeling something was not right behind the prep area. Did an oven or warmer go out? Were they short staffed? Did some servers call in? These were all the details that I was not prepared to deal with as the bride and really didn't reflect on until I returned home from honeymoon.
    I would book them again if we had that dish to specifications (as they did a wonderful job with) with the appropriate temperature and confirm even serve time. Ericka and her assistant Jaclyn definitely work well with us and their responsiveness shows throughout the planning process. Again, their food quality, taste, and presentation is a notch above other catering companies.

    I had Maries Catering for my wedding in October. I was very pleased with the staff. Erica is amazing, super helpful and will answer any questions you have in a timely manner. They had a lot of different options to choose from. We decided to do the family style option for our wedding. They were very accommodating with food allergies and special requests. The only thing I have to complain about was the food on the night of the wedding reception. Several people complained to me that their food was cold. They asked the staff to bring out new food but it was still cold. I didn't have any problems with the food at my table though. I felt like the dessert table was pretty pricy for the options they gave the guests. There wasn't as a big of a selection as they made it seem. After an hour of the food being out there was hardly anything left and some quests complained that they wish they kept bringing out more options and would keep it stocked. Another issue I had with them is that they are on the pricy side compared to other vendors. They do charge you a lot for little extras here and there and the prices can be a bit unreasonable. I didn't like the fact that we had to pay more for nicer glasses instead of just cheap clear plastic cups... with how much you pay... you should be able to get something other than clear plastic. Overall I would give them a B-.

    No assistance in returning deposit after COVID cancellation 11 months before

    Due to COVID-19, we had to postpone our wedding until Nov 2021 (Initially Oct 2020). Marie’s was great until this point. They were okay on being responsive but very giving in terms of options for our event and food to pick. Then we ended up cancelling our wedding again in December of 2020, as I am an out of state bride and just couldn’t plan a wedding that I didn’t know could happen. This was 11 months prior to our new date of November 2021. There was NO ability to negotiate getting any of our $2000+ deposit back even though we cancelled so ahead of time. I tried to work with Marie’s but they started being unresponsive and would not answer emails. I’m very disappointed as we are now rescheduling our wedding and will NOT be using them. I would have been happy if we would have gotten even a 50% return on our deposit as there were no services provided! Plus there was ample time to reschedule that date on their end for a different wedding. I do not recommend.
