Our event coordinator Kristina Hickey was exceptional - she walked us through every step of the planning process and even set up a special tasting for just the wedding couple. The crew from Lee n Eddies was efficient and meticulous, quickly converting the small venue's sanctuary into a dining hall for over 50 guests. They showed great compassion, carefully attending to the bride's vegetarian dietary needs. When the event ended, the crew efficiently cleared and cleaned the sanctuary, leaving it spotless for Sunday services the next day.

Tamale Spaceship absolutely knocked it out of the park with their food, drinks, and service for our wedding. It was clear they put immense care and attention into our day. Also as someone who grew up eating Hispanic food, I can honestly say their dishes were some of the best I’ve ever had. And my mom, who has been cooking for decades and is famously critical of other people’s cooking, could not stop raving about the food. Latina mom stamp of approval. Their food was authentic and flavorful, and their service was personal and heartfelt. They even left us a handwritten card to congratulate us. So thoughtful, they went above and beyond. Gracias tanto Tamale Spaceship!!

Paulie Gee's Chicago 

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Starts at $1,500

Paulie Gee Chicago is a beloved neighborhood pizza joint known for its fresh and delicious Detroit Style, Wood-Fire, and New York Style pies, offering a genuine and family-like atmosphere that locals cherish. For the past eight years, they have fostered strong relationships with their customers, treating them as family rather than just clients. As they expand into off-site private events, their commitment to exceptional service remains steadfast, and the diverse menu continues to grow, earning praise as a standout culinary gem in Chicago's vibrant food scene.

Paulie Gee's Chicago was a fantastic choice for our wedding catering. From the start, their communication was prompt, personable, and flexible. We felt like we were doing our own thing, but their experience helped us fit the food to our plans. Day of, delivery was there, right on time and Tiara set everything up to plan. We feel fortunate to share one of favorite restaurants with family and friends. Being surprised with a heart-shaped pizza a special touch. Of course, everyone enjoyed the food. I think Logan Squares were especially good for the event and I'm glad the seasonal specials were available. We couldn't have asked for better catering service, and highly recommend Paulie Gee's Chicago to any couple planning their big day.

Cocina Fusion 

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Starts at $10,000

We are a full service Chicago catering company with over 15 years of experience, specializing in a wide array of culinary expressions. We service all types of events including weddings, social, corporate, and non-profits. We offer full dinner service, bar services, interactive dinner stations, late-night snacks, and brunch menus. We have an expansive selection of menus for you to choose from, including Latin & American Fusion, Traditional Mexican, Taco Bar, and Italian.

The staff was so helpful and professional! We didn’t have a wedding planner, so I organized and labeled everything as best as I could and the staff set everything up for us - the centerpieces, the place settings, the favors, our cake table, and our altar. I was able to send updated seating charts to the catering lead Marcela to help coordinate meal selections and guests placements, as well as who to serve what. I really appreciated the flexibility when it came to my brothers - both of them have autism and can be picky eaters, so I asked to have two kids meals set aside in case they didn’t like the food. And even though both boys ended up eating the main choices, Marcela had their kids meals set aside in to-go containers for the road. Dinner was delicious and everyone loved the churro cart & hot cocoa bar. Highly recommend the beef barbacoa and pollo mole, and instead of bread we opted for warm tortillas! We loved the unique menu and how we had the option to customize the menu to suit our guests. We loved that we had the option to build our contract a la cart: we paid for the use of their liquor license and their bartenders for the night, but we supplies the booze and cocktail accoutrements, which saved us a ton of money since we couldn’t really calculate all the drinking guests we had. Table linens and flatware were included, but they did have options to upgrade for things like glassware. It was so relaxing to know how on top of it the team was so we didn’t have to worry. And with how expensive and confusing most chicago catering companies were, the affordability and transparency of Cocina Fusion was a huge relief. We can’t recommend Cocina Fusion enough.

    Lindsey's Ice Cream 

    5.0

    Chicago, IL
    • Starts at $1,100

    Lindsey’s Ice Cream serves up small-batch, Asian-American ice cream flavors with a nostalgic twist. From cozy backyard vows to modern downtown receptions, we’re all about adding that extra sprinkle of fun.

    I highly recommend Lindsey's Ice Cream for catering — it added the perfect, personal touch to our wedding! I ordered the platinum package, which included a custom ice cream flavor. We worked with Lindsey to create a Jasmine Rose Lychee ice cream, which is a combination of my and my partner's favorite flavors. Throughout the whole process, Lindsey was extremely professional, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She was always quick to respond to any questions I had, which was very much appreciated during all the chaos of wedding planning. The cherry on top was the cute ice cream bar setup. It fit in perfectly with our garden-themed wedding decor and made for great photos. After my wedding, multiple guests commented on how much they loved the ice cream bar, and that the option to have a custom flavor was something they had never seen at another wedding. If you're looking for a unique, memorable experience for you and your guests, please give Lindsey's Ice Cream a try!

The quality and flavor of the food was incredible, with rich, mouthwatering dishes like the meatballs that I'm still dreaming about! They perfectly brought my vision to life in both the delicious dinner and thoughtful staff and setup.

        Jewell Events Catering

        Chicago, IL

          We know you dream of an extraordinary wedding day. Let Jewell Weddings help make that dream come true. The beauty of a Jewell wedding is legendary. Whether simply stated or extravagant, every wedding we cater has the signature Jewell Weddings style, that “step beyond,” which has set us apart for decades. Our consultants are passionate about entertaining, combining creativity and expertise, so that even the smallest detail is not forgotten. With a knowledge of Chicago special events, extending beyond just weddings, we will make sure that everything, down to the last fork, fits your style.

          We couldn't be happier with the service provided by Jewell Catering. My now-husband and I first contacted Jewell 14 months before our wedding and loved them instantly. From the initial tasting, we were consistently impressed with their professionalism and quality. Everyone we worked with was a delight, both during the planning process and on the day of our wedding (we initially worked with Katherine and then Jennifer in the final stretch before the wedding). Throughout the planning process, both points of contact were always quick to respond to our queries, on top of any changes we should be aware of, and generally a pleasure to work with. I got a ton of compliments from our guests on both the quality of the food and the quality of the service, and I can't think of a thing I would have changed about their work. 10000% recommend!

            Ted joined J&L Catering in 1995 and was hired originally as a waiter for a corporate account within the company. Quickly moving up the ranks, he settled in to full-time event planning for the company, where he has remained working with our social, corporate and private clients for over 10 years. He has designed events for clients around the country, but particularly loves working in Chicago. Ted purchased the company in 2001 with his business partner and executive chef, Kevin Kelly. Along with the responsibilities of running a successful business with over one hundred-thirty employees, Ted is very active in Chicago’s fundraising community.

            I wish I could give them more stars, more reviews, more everything because they were INCREDIBLE. We are still getting compliments on our food a month later and, of course day of, everyone was RAVING. Jim was beyond helpful. He was there for us every step of the way and so supportive. The entire staff was fast, efficient, professional, supportive and just beyond friendly. I want to do it all over again just to see them all! I absolutely recommend J&L and will happily continue to do so!
