Our wedding plans went through multiple changes due to COVID-19 and the team stood by us every step of the way offering advice and the occasional shoulder to cry on. When we ultimately had a small reception for 12 people in our backyard Kelly and the team made sure every detail was cared for. Our guests are still talking about the fantastic food and how Kelly and Tim (acting as our server/bartender) fit right in with the small group of family and friends. We are planning to have a first anniversary party/reception more in line with our original wedding reception plans later this year and are looking forward to working again with Diane, Kelly, Tim, Julia and the entire team.

Our creative and friendly team of event specialists will be with you every step of the way, so you can enjoy your special day with total confidence and peace of mind.

“We met Catered by Design at the West Loop Wedding Walk in 2025 and were immediately impressed by both their food and presentation. From that first experience, we knew they were something special and choosing them to cater our November 2025 wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Our guests raved about the cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour, and months later they are still talking about the food stations and how fun and fabulous the entire dining experience was. Everything was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.

Wooden Paddle Catering is Chicagoland's go-to for full-service wedding catering that's anything but ordinary. We roll up to your venue with mobile wood-fired brick ovens and cook everything fresh and live — wood-fired pizzas, chef-designed apps, desserts, and craft cocktails your guests will not stop talking about. We handle it all: professional staffing, full bar, rentals, setup, and teardown. Family-style, plated, or stations — you name it, we bring it. With 10+ years and 1,000+ events across Chicagoland, we've been to just about every venue in the suburbs. Serving the greater Chicago area within 50 miles of Lemont. 🔥

“We hired Wooden Paddle Catering for our wedding and had a mixed experience overall. The food turned out delicious and the setup on the day of the wedding ran smoothly for the most part. Except cake was never served to tables and instead placed on its own table, which would have been no issue except they didn’t communicate that to anyone so most of that was wasted. Our servers and bartenders were fantastic. They were attentive, friendly, and made our guests feel taken care of throughout the night. However, communication leading up to the event was frustrating since the team often took over a week to respond to our emails and calls. Despite the slow responses during planning, they delivered on the day and we were happy with the final result. If you go with them, just be prepared to reach out early and give them plenty of time to get back to you.”

“My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Green Spoon Kitchen and are so glad we decided to work with them on our wedding day! We were planning our wedding from states away which made some logistics difficult. We were not able to do our tasting before officially signing on with them, but our initial conversation with Shannon and looking through their sample menus were so in line with what we wanted, we felt confident in choosing them. Our decision was affirmed when we got to do our private tasting because WOW was the food and drink delicious! Even better, Shannon and the bar manager were so accommodating and provided such an incredible experience. Specifically, we cannot thank Shannon enough for being such a huge help in the planning process from that initial call to the final walk through.

We were surprised when we found out that she can make custom ice cream flavors and we were STUNNED when the black sesame ice cream tasted just like the one we had in Japan. It added a lot of personality to our wedding that we otherwise wouldn’t have had with a more generic flavor. I have friends still talking about the ice cream, asking where they can buy more. I didn’t know what to except with Lindsey’s Ice Cream but my partner and I are now huge fans. Incredible service, super friendly, and added that whimsical charm (I mean who doesn’t like ice cream) to our special day. I’m not even the reviewing type but I had to let people know about this.
