My Chef Catering was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They were so easy to work with and were there to answer every question we had. Chloe was our event coordinator and she made everything from the tasting, to seating charts, and allergy accommodations simple and stress free. This company is a well oiled machine and got our food out quickly with great attention to detail! I had multiple guests come up to us saying how delicious the food was! One of our guests even said it was some of the BEST food she has ever had at a wedding! We couldn't be happier with everything this company has done for our wedding, five stars don't seem to be enough!! We HIGHLY recommend My Chef to anyone in the market for catering!! Thank you My Chef!!! -

We got notice that our cater could no longer support our wedding 2 and a half months out from our date. We desperately were reaching out to find people to help accommodate and knowing that MyChef was going to be overwhelmed with other couple also reaching out they still managed to help deliver the most delicious food and service for our wedding day. Chloe was amazing to work with through the planning process and was very responsive and Jaime was there the day off to see that everything was executed perfectly. We’ve had multiple guests tell us it was the best food they’ve had at a wedding and we couldn’t agree more. Thank you MyChef for being such a big part of our most perfect day! -

My daughter last minute switched her venue and date due to Covid and we were able to pull off a beautiful weddding in about 5 weeks. Sue from My Chef was so helpful and so responsive. We didn't even have time for a tasting so we asked for her advice and oh my goodness everything was just wonderful. My guests were all raving about the appetizers when I returned from pictures which made me so happy they were all enjoying so much! The dinner was seamless.....service was top notch, I really enjoyed the presentation as well as the entire meal. The bread and salad were both spectacular. We had the chicken and beef duo and the guests especially raved about the chicken oh and also the mashed potatoes were delicious too! It was not at all your typical wedding food - really impressed my husband as well who attends many events at top hotels and restaurants across the country. I would 100% recommend My Chef and hope to use them again. -

My Chef was simply a dream come true. All of the food was delicious and they also did the decorating- from the table linens to the candles. The staff was very professional and attentive. I worked with Alex and every little detail I asked him about he seamlessly provided. In fact, we also used My Chef for the brunch the next morning after the wedding. -

We got married at Emerson Creek who partners with My Chef for weddings. Working with Sue and her team was a wonderful part of our wedding planning experience.
Our tasting was so fun; Sue created such a nice ambiance, the chefs presented each dish in detail and the team did a great job of listening to what we wanted and giving us the best options. Sue went over with us in detail the catering schedule for the day of, how the food was transported and stored so we knew exactly what to expect. She also gave us great advice on how we could plan the evening to avoid the food getting over-warmed.
Sue's communication was clear and timely throughout the planning process. We received a detailed write up of everything we decided both for the menu and the order of events for the evening immediately after the tasting.
We postponed our wedding for a year due to COVID-19- when our new date was approaching Sue reached out to clarify some of the decisions we'd made, guest dietary restrictions, etc. This gave me reassurance that everything would go smoothly and as we requested.
The day of, the service was remarkable. The staff was friendly and demonstrated the highest level of professionalism. The service was efficient and the food was excellent. Many of our guests made sure to tell us how much they enjoyed the appetizers and their meals. This was really important to us so we were thrilled to get that feedback.
You can tell that the people at My Chef love what they do. They do all they can to make their clients happy and they do it with a smile. It was also obvious to us that Emerson Creek and My Chef are a well oiled machine. Having to shop around for one less vendor was really helpful when it came to planning and Emerson Creek did a great job selecting a catering company to partner with. We can't thank My Chef enough for helping to make our big day so incredible. -

My Chef was everything we could have hoped for and more! Coordinating with Sue before hand was so simple and personable! And when we went in for the tasting, she was the kindest woman and made our experience so special. She did absolutely everything possible to make our menu perfect and personalized to us. On our wedding day, I wasn’t feeling well but she and her staff made sure I was taken care of. The food got so many compliments and the service was extraordinary! Sue single handedly made our dinner perfect! We felt so cared for and were very happy! -

We worked with Susan from the beginning of the process, and she helped make everything work perfectly! She was so kind and helpful and was able to answer any questions we could toss her way!
The day of the event, the food was INCREDIBLE! So many of our guests made a point to tell us that this was was best food they have ever had at a wedding.
The only complaint I had was during the set up. The server moved very slow. -

There are not enough words to describe the ways My Chef Catering made our wedding incredible! With two different reschedules before we could have our full celebration on 05/09/2021, My Chef stuck by our side and was so flexible and accommodating through the chaos. To Jess and Dominick – we cannot say thank you enough. The care they showed for every single detail of our day and the care they showed for us personally took our breath away and removed worlds of wedding-stress from our shoulders. We could not have asked for a better team to take care of us for our wedding.
Also, our food was phenomenal. From the beginning of our planning process my husband and I knew we wanted a fun menu and that we wanted buffet-style service. We were surprised and delighted to settle on a burger bar (who even knew that was a thing?!) that blew every single one of our guests away. With COVID precautions in place, all of our guests felt safe and were able to enjoy their meal with every detail accounted for. Seriously, look no further than this incredible company for any event you have; you will not be disappointed!! -

My chef was so good with working with us as we changed everything due to COVID. But they got everything right! They delivered lunch to us while we got ready, dinner, and breakfast the next morning! All delicious and on time! We are so happy with them! -

Sue is so kind and made sure everything was perfect on our big day! She made my daughter feel like royalty during our tasting and truly felt like family!! If you want great food, great service, and someone who truly cares, My Chef is your vendor! -

Susan made every moment perfect! The team was very professional and food was on point and hot! Being in the restaurant industry myself I’m always nervous at weddings, especially my own, but this was the best team for the job! Thank you all!! -

My now husband and I were forced to switch our wedding venue only a few short months prior to our wedding as a result of Covid-19. Our new wedding venue was partnered with My Chef Catering. Our experience with My Chef was fantastic from the very beginning. Our tasting was with Sue. Not only was the food delicious but this was the first time in quite some time that someone had been genuinely excited for us to get married, despite all the challenges that Covid-19 brought. The staff at My Chef were all very friendly and accommodating. They even set aside a tray of appetizers for us which we really appreciated because we did not intend on missing cocktail hour. The food the day of the wedding was absolutely phenomenal and presented very well. We still to this day have family and friends telling us how good the food was and asking where it was catered from. Thank you to Sue and all the staff at My Chef for making our big day that much better! You will not regret booking this company and we look forward to using them again in the future! -

Jessica Stewart and the staff at My Chef were everything we dreamed and more. Jessica worked with us to change our entire wedding plans during the COVID pandemic from a venue with 100 to a micro wedding in our backyard with less than 40 guests. For only about a grand more than we originally were quoted, we received top shelf open bar service with our preferred bottle of beer (NOT tap 🙌🏼), tables, chairs, and a tent for 50 people. We had also ordered linen and a sweets table through them.
The food was just as great as our taste testing, and we received compliments from guests specifically about Jessica, the bartender, and the catfish wontons. We will definitely recommend and use again for future events. -

Laura Sent on 09/17/2020One of the Best Caterers Around Chicago!
Waldo Castro and the team at My Chef are some of the best around Chicago. Before deciding on My Chef for our wedding, we met with four caterers throughout Chicagoland. Not only were they the most affordable and best value among all four but they had the best food by far! Throughout the entire planning process, they were responsive and extremely personable. When we had to reschedule our wedding from May to July due to COVID, they never changed their demeanor. Every person we interacted with was a class act. They work well with so many Chicagoland venues and our venue specifically noted My Chef at the top of their list. Waldo handled all of the communication between us and our venue, and was extremely knowledgeable about the current COVID guidelines. When our wedding day finally came, we never got tired of the compliments from guests of the reception setup, food, and décor. We wanted to go with a more nontraditional setup and Waldo offered tons of feedback and worked with us for everything. "No" isn't in their vocabulary so if there's something you want to do, they'll make it happen or offer feedback on what else could work. We even brought in a Portillo's cake and they dressed it up for the cake cutting like one of their own. We couldn't have asked for a better catering company to work with, especially with the chaos of a 2020 wedding, and HIGHLY recommend My Chef for any wedding or event you're planning. -

My husband and I were married at Emerson Creek in May 2021, which partners with My Chef Catering. Sue played an integral part in making our experience better than we could have ever imagined.
The tasting was elegant, but very comforting. Sue gave us advice on not only the food, but reminded us that our wedding day was about us and to make sure we took a moment to ourselves the day of. The food was wonderful and everything you dream your tasting should be. It felt impossible to narrow the choices down since it was executed so well.
Our wedding was effected by COVID and we ended up having to push it from 2020 to 2021. Sue made sure that transition was seamless. She also made sure that every small detail was handled without my husband or I having to think twice about it.
The day of the wedding My Chef Catering did not disappoint. The food was even better than we had remembered. There was not one mistake. We still get compliments from our guests about how good our food was. During dinner my husband and I ended up taking pictures longer than we had planned, giving us little to no time to eat. Sue made sure to hold it to the side and provide us with hot, ready to eat meals when we were ready. It allowed us to take her advice and have a moment to ourselves, eating just the two of us. Sue made sure to check in on us and we really enjoyed chatting with her. You can tell she loves what she does and goes above and beyond.
Every staff member we came into contact with was so sweet and hard working. We truly can say that My Chef Catering played a huge role in the success of our wedding.
Thank you for helping to give us a day we will never forget. All your hard work did not go unnoticed.
