I have used My Chef for so many different occasions, and every time is better than the last. They catered my daughter’s wedding and I can’t say enough on how pleased I was with them.

The team at True Cuisine was absolutely fabulous to work with from the very beginning! From our first interactions through the wedding day, the team was professional, communicative, and wonderful partners throughout the planning process. Our tasting was such a great experience and made everyone feel included — especially our parents, who loved being part of it. The True Cuisine team was also incredibly accommodating and helpful when it came to navigating dietary restrictions, which gave us so much peace of mind leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day, the service was truly top notch. The staff took amazing care of both us at the sweetheart table and all of our guests throughout the evening. And the food itself was absolutely to die for! We served the Texas beef brisket, pan-seared airline chicken, and wild mushroom rigatoni, and guests are still texting us saying it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. We could not recommend True Cuisine more highly for anyone looking for incredible food and an exceptional catering team!

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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you want service and food that will leave your guests talking about it - Lula is the place to go. Outside of being our favorite Chicago restaurant, we picked Lula because of the variety in menu, ability for choice and seamless communication. Anna at Lula was a guiding light throughout the wedding planning process. She kept me grounded on quantities, was transparent about pricing, and quick to update once any changes were decided upon. When it came to the wedding day, held at The Firehouse in Chicago, I was completely at ease. The food was incredible - I am still getting texts about two weeks later. We did buffet style with salad, a chicken and pasta dish sides and it was enough for all guests, even with some going up for seconds. Lula worked seamlessly with our other vendors. While we went a different route for dessert and late night food, Lula prepped our pie dessert and late-night pizza, serving it to our guests. We moved forward with the mixer package for beverages and supplied our own liquor, and Lula helped guide us in quantity, and made adjustments to accomodate our two signature cocktails. All in all, it was a perfect day, which is greatly due to the Lula events team.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.
