We highly recommend Maison. We worked with Nick and Maison for our wedding in July 2023 and it was the best decision we made. The process was streamlined and Nick and Danielle were so helpful along the way and day of. The team was professional and so wonderful to work with. We felt very well taken care of and the team helped us work through best food options for the various dietary restrictions at our wedding. All of our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the food was. We will definitely be recommending Maison to our friends for future weddings.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chef Cuellar and his entire team are incredible. From the first call, it was obvious that he and his team cared about making our wedding the magical day we had always dreamed about. Even though we lived in Philadelphia and needed to come to a tasting on the weekend, they made it work with their schedule and completely blew us away with the menu they prepared based on our first few meetings. Incredibly professional but also warm, inviting, and easy to talk to and express ourselves around. When it came to the big day, he and his team were ready to go despite a few last-minute curveballs. Our guests thought the food was amazing and continued talking about it well after the wedding ended. We cannot recommend enough Chef Cuellar and his team for weddings. They are candid about what they can do and what it might take to make it happen! For background, we had a wedding of about 70-80 and did a Mediterranean buffet style for the main course with a charcuterie board during the cocktail hour. For dessert, they prepared churros as well as multiple types of gelato.

    I am a private Sushi Chef with more than a decade of experience. I first learned the Japanese Art of Sushi in Venezuela.

Sushi making is a very personal experience for me and I enjoy creating something unique with the food colors, textures, temperatures, and flavors.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    I cannot speak enough good things about Franco and the experience he provides to his customers. He is communicative and clear in process leading up to the event. Once he arrives, he brings all of his own materials which takes hte stress out of a chef cooking in your own home. The food is absolutely incredible. He finds the freshest fish in the area and has an expertise in mixing flavors together. The most fun part is experiencing the chef cooking in front of you. This is especially fun for anyone with bar stools where you can watch him at work. He brings fun tools like blow torches and fryers to give you a full in restaurant like experience. And finally, nothing beats an evening with Franco himself. He is such an interesting person with a diverse set of life experiences. We could sit and talk to him for hours. In the past, we have bought a bottle of Japanese whiskey which we drink with him while he cooks. This is a great activity or date night for a special event like birthday or anniversary or just to change up your normal routine. We cannot recommend Franco enough!!!!

                J&L Catering 

                5.0

                Chicago, IL

                  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!

                    A family-friendly spot with a Midwestern slanted menu, centered around rotisserie. This light and airy restaurant in Lakeview has a friendly staff that provides more than great service.

                    Every one we have spoken with from our wedding said the food was delicious and some of the best they've had at a wedding. Working with the team was easy and friendly, and we even got to take some leftovers home to enjoy post wedding. We love this spot in our neighborhood and cannot recommend them enough!

                    Pear Tree - Hel's Kitchen Catering 

                    5.0

                    Lincolnshire, IL
                    • Serves Elk Grove, IL

                    Pear Tree - Hel's Kitchen Catering™ has been serving the Chicagoland community for over 25 years. We are committed to offering freshly prepared gourmet foods and ingredients with excellent service to all of our clients. We provide a variety of services and have everything needed to suit catering needs for parties of 2-2,000. At Pear Tree Catering we strive to not only create delicious food, but also create an ambiance and night to remember for all of our guests. We can take care of everything from table decorations and themed centerpieces to costumed servers, anything we can do to ensure a dynamic and memorable occasion for our clients.

                    Pear Tree catered my daughter’s wedding, which we hosted in our backyard. They did an amazing job in all aspects, including the delicious food, the beautiful presentation, and the phenomenal staff. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a top-notch catering company. Shelly, as well as her entire staff, was delightful to work with – throughout the event planning stage as well as during the wedding itself. I was aiming for a very specific ambiance to my party, and Shelly listened carefully, understood my goals, and produced a party which totally matched those goals. With her extensive knowledge and creative ideas, she actually enhanced my objectives. When the wedding day came and Pear Tree arrived, I had total confidence that all of my hard work had come to an end – I knew that they would now take over the work while I enjoyed the wedding day – and that is exactly what happened. Shelly took the lead in executing every detail that we had discussed during the planning stages; yet remained flexible enough to make judgment calls where it was appropriate to do so. In regard to the setup of the food, she went above and beyond to create beautiful displays. As far as the food quality, I’ve never before had so many guests at my party approach me to let me know how wonderful the food was – and we had many foodies at our wedding! For certain items, I was told that they were the best in class! Shelly and her staff were accessible and easy to communicate with throughout the party – whether it be timing requests based on how many of my guests had arrived, or a personal favor (i.e., could you please offer a watermelon skewer to my daughter, the bride). They were efficient, polite, and respectful to everyone. When it came time for cleanup, they once again went above and beyond. Not only did they leave all cooking and serving areas immaculate, but they cleaned up parts of the party that they had not even been responsible for – i.e., gathering up the centerpieces, candy, nuts, etc. They even wrapped all leftover food and neatly packed it into my refrigerator. If you want to host a first-class party while minimizing your stress throughout the event planning stage as well as during the party itself, I highly recommend Pear Tree Catering!

                    Owners James & Lisa are a husband and wife duo with a passion for entertaining! After leaving her corporate job and wanting to stay in the events industry, Lisa saw the need for a mobile bar in the Chicagoland area and Lucky Hitch Mobile Events came to life. Jamie, a skilled tradesman, was the brains behind the project and their first trailer, Lucky was born. Lisa has over 20 years in the corporate and social event industry and knows what it takes to pull off a successful wedding and event. Always staying on top of the trends, Lisa is always working hard to make sure each and every event goes off without a hitch.

                    Lucky Hitch was the best to work with! They helped me plan my mobile bar for my wedding and took time up front to take care of all of the details so I did not have to worry about anything. The cocktails and mocktails were tasty and everything went off without a hitch. The bar was decorated so cute and the custom menu even cuter. It was a great night and their mobile bar was definitely the show stopper! Thank you!

                    We ordered Tuck Ins to put in our wedding guest gift bags at the hotel. Tuck Ins was easy to work with, delivered in a timely manner, and all of our guests loved having something delicious and made by a local Philly company. If we were to get married again, I think we would include Tuck Ins at the dessert table and let the guests roast them at the reception. Would highly recommend!

                    Welcome. Chef Jason started out in the kitchen at 15 years old as a dishwasher at Red Lobster washing dishes and baking. From there, he worked many cook’s lines until I earned my first chef position under Emeril Lagasse over ten years ago. He's went on to operating casino kitchens, private dining clubs. Since relocating from Atlanta, GA Jason has gained experience in kitchen consulting and new restaurant openings. After 25 years in the industry, He is now starting a new journey into the Private Chef sector. He refers to his style of cooking as Southern Creole cooking, where it’s much more than cooking…it’s about the overall experience.

                    I would recommend Crain Experience anytime Chef Renny & Chef Jason was absolutely wonderful!

                    Since 1995, China Moon has bartended for dive bars, house parties, underground events, celebrity bashes, and fine dining establishments in NYC and the Midwest. She’s an old soul with a heart for gardening, reading, music, dancing, animals, and, when it’s safe again, putting her passport back in the rotation. She holds a degree in Hotel & Restaurant business management, was the Private Dining & Event Manager at The Edgewater Hotel from 2016-to 2018, and is a member of the Beta Beta Psi chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. China Moon is an eager reader (and dotes on Stephen King and Dean Koontz novels.) She loves aged Brugal Rum on the rocks with lime.

                    As a wedding venue, we have been fortunate enough to see most, if not all, of the mobile bartending service companies in the Madison area. Bartender608, China Moon (owner) and her staff are the best to work with. They are very responsive to us, as a hosting venue, and their clients who are typically the bride and groom. China and her team arrive on time, or early, have a very professional set up and always dress the part. Bartender608’s service is always efficient regardless of the size of your group. If we were hosting our own wedding or party, Bartender608 would be an easy and immediate Yes Please!
