I used CBD for my December 2023 wedding at The Library at 190 S LaSalle. The services were impeccable. I obtained proposals from several caterers from the venue's preferred caterers' list and went for tasting with two caterers. CBD's pricing is competitive compared with larger caterers, and menu options and tasting experience were better than smaller caterers. Lots of great hors d'oeuvres. Erin is very responsive, organized, and flexible. We were able to customize sides for entrees. On the wedding day, the captain (Aukse) was extremely professional, competent and attentive. We fully trust her and went with her recommendations for an on-the-spot change. The set-up was beautiful without any supervision. Flipping from ceremony layout to reception layout was done quickly. I believe they collaborated with the florist very well. They were also nice enough to box leftover cake and entrees for confirmed guests who could not show up. I would definitely recommend CBD.

We love going out to eat at Irazu, so when it came time to pick a caterer for our wedding Irazu was at the top of our list. After we went in for our tasting we were SOLD! The food is delicious and the price was perfect. Plus the menu was super easy to have options for people at our wedding with dietary restrictions. Throughout the whole planning process Irazu was super clear and prompt with their communications, and asked us questions that ended up helping us finish up our timeline for the day of the wedding. We knew exactly what was going to happen and when, and everything went off without a hitch! Plus some very picky eaters on our guest list (my dad in particular) loved the food!! 10/10 would recommend!

Callier's is outstanding! Due to Covid, my daughters wedding was changed 3 times -and we ended up having 50 guests for the reception in our backyard. Catherine and Abby were so kind and patient, helping us navigate through the details for each wedding change. When we decided to have the reception in our backyard, Catherine and Abby came to our house to look at our house setup to determine what they needed and talked me through all of the details. The reception dinner and backyard setup was beyond perfect! The food was absolutely delicious, and the table setup was beautiful. Catherine and Abby figured out all that we needed, ordered it for us, and set up the most beautiful dinner tables. They also setup a gorgeous champagne arrangement that awed the guests as they arrived. Everyone received appetizers, drink refills, salad and meals in a timely manner and the plating was gorgeous!! The staff was very attentive to our guests. Some of our guests told us they felt they were in a Hallmark movie! We cannot thank the Callier's staff, Catherine and Abby enough for everything they did to make our daughter's outdoor wedding a dream! Callier's provided outstanding personalized service, a friendly and attentive staff, truly delicious food and the dream team of Catherine and Abby to work with. I highly recommend Callier's and we cannot wait for them to cater our full out wedding reception that was postponed until next year!

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!

I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Pear Tree Catering! Shelly and her entire team are so top notch - I can't imagine anyone going with anyone else! From the first day we met with Shelly, she assured me all would be prefect - and when the wedding day came - it was exactly that - perfect! I am a very type A person (In a nice way), but it makes me worry about all of the details - but, in this case, every detail was covered and even though I still worried, they were so on it, they did so many things I had not even thought of - every little thing was done and the wedding just flowed along perfectly! On top of that, the FOOD WAS PHENOMENAL!!!! I don't think I had one guest not tell me how super-impressed they were with the food! OMG...it was out of this world! Usually you expect "wedding food", but Pear Tree makes fantastic food as if you were out dining at a fine restaurant! And they did this working with a barely there kitchen and their own set-up....unbelievable! They did our bar service, and we even had a gelato station afterwards that everyone LOVED! We were so impressed with everything....I found myself thanking Shelly (owner) over and over again bc I knew they would be good, but I didn't realize until it all happened, how absolutely fantastic this company is. I highly highly recommend!!!! You will not be disappointed!
