Initially having a different venue, as our plans changed, we contacted Paulie Gee’s about this possibility nearly 1 year after our engagement. Our point of contact was Tiara and from the very beginning she went above and beyond! We had many meetings with her as the event approached. She answered all our questions and did everything from helping us craft an all-vegan menu to assisting with decorating the restaurant the day of.

Everyone we met was very friendly and helpful along the way. The food is exceptional quality too. My mom said the scallops were the best she's ever had (and she's well traveled)! My mother-in-law had high remarks about the food too, saying it was the best food she's ever had at a wedding. Everyone enjoyed the food so much and we didn't hear any complaints.

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. While we can answer general inquiries, using a digital storefront does not allow our sales team to receive the most accurate information to help with crafting your proposal for your big day.

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. Beyond the food, the staff was wonderful to work with professional, organized, and genuinely kind, which made the day feel seamless and stress-free.

Instead of leaving it for us to figure out, they cut all the cakes and packaged them into carry-out containers for our guests, which was such a thoughtful touch. We felt confident in their hands the entire day, and our guests couldn't stop talking about the food. Chic Chef Catering is absolutely worth it.

Seed Sprout Spoon 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
Saint Louis, MO
  • Serves Illinois

We are an owner-operated boutique catering & events company dedicated to local ingredients and sustainable event production. This simple tenet is a hardy root which has diverse branches: our food is fresher, seasonal, and best-tasting; we have a dedicated staff whom we pay a living wage; we support other small local businesses; dollars you spend stay in our local economy. Our event displays marry upcycled & vintage elements with live botanical arrangements. We limit the extreme waste of event catering by composting and recycling at home & off-site. We seek to serve well: both our customers & their guests, our community & our planet.

Having great food was my husband's number one priority for the wedding. We happen to be vegan and unfortunately if you filter by that here you can see that what many caterer's mean by "we offer vegan food" is "we will make a plate of spaghetti with nothing else for your one vegan guest" and that is the opposite of what we got with Seed Sprout and Spoon. They went above and beyond with our menu! They sent us their menu and we were able to work with them to alter dishes that fit our needs. They can do buffet or plated, we went with buffet because we only had a guest list of about 50 people. For cocktail hour we opted for a pretzel bar with four different dips. Our main meal was a nice hearty salad with fruit and nuts, a creamy polenta with bolognese made with Beyond meat, an absolutely delicious white (cashew cream) lasagna with kale, roasted asparagus, an eggplant/bell pepper caponata, and an assorted bread basket. For dessert we had a cake from another vendor but wanted additional dessert for people who aren't into cake and we went with some mini fruit tarts. Finally we also had our plates/glasses provided by them and they have a beautiful collection of mismatched tableware. Pretty much everyone went back for seconds and I don't think we had a single guest who we saw/spoke to over the next couple of days who didn't comment on how this was some of the best food they've ever had a wedding period. Not just good for vegan food but all around great!

  • Serves Illinois

Big Delicious Planet, named the “Greenest Caterer in America” since 2013, is one of the most sought after Chicago wedding caterers for couples who want flavorful, vibrant food with sustainability in mind. We cater highly-styled, glamorous weddings, and romantic, vintage weddings at venues all across the city and intimate weddings, elopements, and rehearsal dinners in our own urban farm. During our growing season, we’ll use the produce we harvest for your wedding!

We chose BDP to cater our September 2024 wedding at Firehouse Chicago and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an event caterer. Jasmine was such a delight to work with from start to finish in planning our event - from the initial quote and inquiries, our tasting, planning along the way, our final walkthrough, and execution day-of. We were so lucky to have found BDP and felt supported in our wedding planning process from start to finish. But most of all, BDP served up some incredible food and beverages. Finding the right food and drinks for our wedding was important to us, so choosing the right caterer and bartending staff was crucial. BDP sources their produce and herbs from their urban farm in West town, and the everything they made for our wedding was so fresh, inventive, and unique. Their food is 1000 times better than any you will ever have at a wedding - it's more like dining at a nice Chicago restaurant than eating the standard dry chicken breast most wedding caterers produce. We loved our meal and had multiple guests come up to use during dinner to comment on how good the food was. I'm still craving another bite of their tortellini! They paid such attention to detail with everything leading up to the wedding and several of our guest's special dietary needs. Everyone had something safe and delicious to eat, and we felt so lucky to be supported by them. The speciality cocktails BDP made for our wedding were also the best drinks I've ever had at a wedding- by far! They even did some special cocktail infusions ahead of time for a favorite cocktail of ours that we never imaged could be served at a wedding. It was so delicious, so unique, and just overall amazing. If you're looking for a wedding caterer, look no further.

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!

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. She answered countless questions, made several swaps, and remained so friendly throughout it all. Even when we were getting stressed, she was there to calm our nerves.

Cody’s Belly Bites was born during the COVID-19 pandemic when I converted a van into a mobile kitchen, delivering fresh, homemade meals to frontline workers across Chicago. Even after opening and closing a restaurant while pregnant during uncertain times, I kept going. What began as affordable meal plates in underserved communities grew into a full-service private chef and catering company operating from a licensed commercial kitchen. Today, we cater weddings, corporate events, and intimate gatherings with heart, excellence, and purpose — always serving food made with love.

Cody's Belly Bites exceeded every expectation. From inquiry to execution, Chef Cody was professional, organized, and detail-oriented. The communication was fast and great, and the team's work was heartfelt. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious—guests are still talking about the Jerk Chicken Mac & Cheese and espresso buttercream cake! Cody and his team went above and beyond what was on our invoice and threw in a few extra freebies, keeping their word. The team was punctual, polished, and made hosting stress-free. If you want elevated cuisine with flawless execution, this is the caterer to book.

I grew up in a pizzeria and honestly never thought I would be doing a food truck! I did sales for 20 years. I have always been a "foodie" and love to try new restaurants and entertain. I was at a point where I needed a change, so I decided to start a new chapter in my life. I am excited to be venturing out on this new journey.

I hired Kurbside Pizza for my kids' birthday party and it was a hit! Everyone raved about the pizzas and paninis, it was all so amazing. The family that runs it is the sweetest, the truck is super cute and Anna made the process so simple. Would hire them again in a heartbeat!
