The 10 Best Caterers near Chicago, Illinois

Here is a review from an user.

If you want to try clean and authentic Korean food, Beyond rice is the one! Their food is absolutely delicious and I could not taste msg from the food( Most Korean restaurant in US uses big amount of msg that makes food taste better but makes my stomach feels very uncomfortable.) Beyond that, their customer service was outstanding. They even gave me an % discount for participating a survey! Overall, it was beyond my expectations! I would love to visit them again when I visit Chicago area.

I had Black Fodder Coffee come in and serve coffee for my staff and families at my daycare center for our year anniversary. It was a huge hit! The coffee was delicious and the set up was beautiful! It really transformed my lobby to a real little cozy coffee shop! Maciej was so responsive and thorough when booking-he made the process so easy. The whole experience was magical! I can't wait to work with Black Fodder Coffee Again!

Amazing Edibles catered our wedding and everything was amazing. From the beginning of planning to the day-of, their service is / (and the food is delicious!). On the day of our wedding, Hulda arrived to our venue early to make sure everything was getting set up according to plan and looking good. Andrea, the owner, also came and they both helped keep me centered before the wedding - offering a glass of water (or champagne) and making sure I was happy with how everything was looking. It felt like I had extra, helpful family around! We got multiple compliments from guests on the quality of the staff and bartenders. You won't regret hiring Amazing Edibles for any catering needs!

Had to support Elliot. I’ve been having his food for years long before he started his business. I always knew he could make a living out of it because he really has a talent and passion for creating good food. I already knew I would get some good eating and he definitely went above and beyond. Tacos were fulfilling taste wise and to my appetite. Not the biggest French fry person but I ate all mine, whatever he sauces them with was great. And the elote! I’m mad I only got one because It was so good. If you haven’t had his tack Tuesday special I suggest you do soon.

Where to start?! Ovy and Ati were incredible to work with. As soon as we requested a quote, Ati arranged to call to find out more about us, our cultures, and our families so that they could provide us with the most personalized and fitting tasting menu possible. Every other caterer we contacted (which was A LOT in the initial stage) offered very generic, impersonal menus and took a lot longer to reply. After speaking to Ati and receiving his quote, we decided to hold off all other caterers until we’d tried Ovy’s tasting menu because their level of service was already head and shoulders above the rest. Eight months before the wedding, Ati and Ovy hosted our tasting for us and some friends and we were blown away! They’d even recreated some of my childhood favorites from England! The food was all top restaurant quality, which is saying a lot in Chicago! In the lead up to the wedding, Ati checked in on us periodically to see if we needed help or advice with anything. On the wedding day, the entire staff could not have been more wonderful and attentive - even down to running out to get the Bride an espresso martini at the end of the night! We told ourselves that the food would not be quite as excellent as the tasting because they were cooking for people. However, it was phenomenal and all of our guests made a point to tell us how great it was and how they kept going up for more! We cannot recommend Ovy Catering highly enough. Book them - we were very happy with every one of our vendors but Ovy catering was still the best decision we made!

Cynthia and her team were AMAZING. We needed a bartender and wait staff on relatively short notice for a holiday party here in Chicago. Cynthia was reasonably priced, on time, and provided excellent service. They made sure everyone Always had a drink, brought plenty of mixers, and garnishes and even cleaned up cups and plates etc that were left laying around. I will be using them for all future events. If you need a bartending service I cannot recommend this team more!

We recently used Cooking with Cuellar for a party and we simply could not be happier. They were able to accommodate us fairly last minute for a large patio warming/birthday party. The menu Chris came up with was spectacular and the food was outstanding. Not only did guests rave at the party, they have continued to do so for weeks afterwards. The whole team was so amazing and seamlessly pulled off a beautiful feast. We highly recommend them and will be happy to use them again!

We had an amazing experience with Venue Logic for our wedding in August at the Bridgeport Art Center. They were super easy and great to coordinate with and they made all of our wishes come true. We requested two signature cocktails and they absolutely nailed it. The service was impeccable - the staff was so kind and attentive. Our guests raved about the great bar experience. Highly recommend!

Do yourself, your friends, and your family a favor and book Nicole Jordan Catering. Seriously! The number 1 reason for my wife and I...They are professional. Period. My wife and I were looking for catering to service our Christmas party, we had quite a few people and weren't sure who to good to and if the food would be good. The determining factor was if they can handle our large order, will it be ready when we schedule the order, and will it be good. Well.....give them an award. They were prompt, detailed in their communication, polite, timely professional AND the food was simple amazing!! And quite honestly, good food is not too hard where we stay, but great food and quality service is! Their team was superb, and thorough all the way through. We order a few things, but let me say that these mini pizza puffs were a hit!!!! Have you seen the movie "Gone in Sixty Seconds" ? Well, Nicole Jordan Catering is the sequel to that lol because I turned around to grab a napkin and they were gone. Again, I can't trust every catering service that provides good tasting food. NJC has never let me down, and I will definitely make sure they are apart of every big event I have moving forward.

Anticipation Events (Elizabeth, Laura and Esther) were a fabulous team to work with from start to finish. Our wedding, like many others, had to be postponed from Sept to Sept . It was great to have a group of people working with us who always had our best interests at heart and tried to ease the stress and anxiety of planning such a big event during a pandemic. They were thoughtful, detail oriented, rolled with all the punches and created a beautiful and timeless event. Charlie and I loved every minute of our wedding weekend/day. We can't say thank you enough times. Make no hesitation in choosing to work with them!
