Danielle and Nick could not have been more helpful leading up to and on our wedding day. They were thoughtful, communicative, and unflappable through the whole process. Nick had a calm demeanor on the day and inspired confidence, I knew if there was an issue, it was handled.  Additionally, their staff was kind, well trained and efficient throughout the day.  Leading up to the wedding, Nick and Danielle were easy to contact, offered helpful suggestions and worked with us to achieve our vision. I could not recommend them enough, and while I hope to never have another wedding, I would absolutely use them again in a heartbeat. read more

We are so grateful to Danielle, Nick, and entire Maison Cuisine staff. We were host to a 200 guest wedding last weekend. The food was delicious and service impeccable. This company deserves 10 stars! read more

Maison Cuisine catered our family-style wedding in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and they were phenomenal. The service was seamless and professional, and the servers were extremely efficient throughout the night. Nick helped immensely throughout the entire process, making everything feel organized and stress-free, working with me as many decisions were made and reconsidered - thank you for your patience! The food was abundant and unforgettable--our guests are still raving about it months later, especially the passed late night snacks! Nick also made table design effortless, offering great recommendations, staying within our budget, and coordinating seamlessly with outside vendors we brought in. Exceptional food, service, and coordination. Highly recommend! read more

DELICIOUS (and beautiful) food and amazing communication! Danielle, the owner, was one of the fastest vendors to reply to inquiries / questions during the planning process which made her very easy to work with (and I asked a LOT of questions) We worked with catering coordinators JC and Nick on our menu tasting and wedding day. They were friendly, helpful, and took really good care of us! The food was really good all around with really creative options. We opted for a different liquor / wine provider but were able to use their license and bartending services which made it very easy. Honestly, they were one of the smoothest part of our wedding planning! Bonus point: they work with Loft Lucia, our venue, all the time which really streamlined the process. read more

Maison Cuisine was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. Danielle was so easy to communicate with and incredibly flexible--she rolled with every change we threw her way over 18 months of planning. The food was somehow even better than the (already delicious) tasting, which fed us for days! The late-night hot dog stand was a total crowd favorite and such a fun touch. JC was on site the day of and couldn't have been kinder--he greeted us with drinks and even had a plate of cocktail hour food ready for us after the ceremony. We felt so well taken care of and can't recommend Maison Cuisine enough! read more

Danielle and Nick were both great to work with, extremely communicative, and provided prompt responses to our (numerous) questions. We appreciated that they had a delicious vegetarian option (get the mushroom risotto!) since most places just have boring roasted veggies for the vegetarian entree. They were very accommodating for dietary needs/allergies, providing our guests with a non-alcoholic substitute for the prosecco toast and ensuring those with a nut allergy had a separate plate when necessary. Menu highlights guests were raving about were the chimichurri beef skewers during cocktail hour and the loaded fry boat late night snack. Staff also checked in on us throughout cocktail hour and dinner service to make sure we had everything we needed. They made the whole process extremely easy and fun, helping us to create a tasty and unique signature cocktail! We can't recommend Maison enough! read more

Thank you so much Maison! The food and service you provided for our daughter's wedding at Providence Vineyards was outstanding. Our guests were so impressed with the quality and flavor of the food served. They especially raved about the beef tenderloin. Many commented that it was the best wedding food they ever had. Your company did an outstanding job and we appreciate your efforts. read more

From start to finish, Maison Cuisine was amazing. Catering was the portion of our wedding we were most nervous about - myself, my husband, and SEVERAL of our family members have allergies, most of them being more severe. Maison went over the top to make sure the food would be perfect and safe for us + our guest the day of the wedding, double checking on different rental details, and answering our 4 million questions with kindness and patience. It truly felt like they were just as excited as us about the wedding. Special shoutout to Nick, who was incredibly kind, funny, and intentional about all the big and small details, like bringing us food to our suite to take a break after taking our photos, and triple checking ingredients for our allergies. Our wedding day was perfect, and we could not be more grateful that we had Maison Cuisine with us on our special day! read more

Maison Cuisine was one of our favorite vendors to work with! Danielle and Nick brought such great energy, professionalism, and care to the entire process. The tasting was not only delicious but such a fun and helpful part of planning. It was definitely a highlight leading up to the big day. They were incredibly thoughtful about every detail, especially when it came to accommodating our guests' dietary restrictions. The food itself was a huge hit. Our guests are still raving about the short rib! One moment that really stood out: the father of the bride had stepped away during dinner, and Nick noticed and personally brought him a fresh, warm plate when he returned. That level of attention and care meant so much. We're so grateful to have had them as part of our day and can't recommend them highly enough! read more

These guys ROCKED!!! The staff was amazing and Nick had everything taken care of and looking so beautiful. He did a few checkins with us to get me drinks, food, etc. which was so great and sweet. Their flexibility in working within our budget was HUGE for us. We honestly couldn't have had the wedding we did without their accommodations. From the very first email interaction, the staff was nothing but joyful and positive. Could not be more pleased or grateful! We will definitely be using Maison again in the future! read more

My husband and I had no idea where to start in the wedding planning process, but we knew one thing for sure: we needed to have great food. The minute we had our tasting with Nick, we knew we had found the perfect fit. The quality of every single dish presented during this tasting was so impressive! In that moment, it was evident that Danielle, Nick, JC, and the entire Maison Cuisine team take pride in what they do. They all exceeded our expectations. Several guests (some trained chefs) came up to us during our wedding to ask how it was possible to cater such high-quality and delicious food. This team is truly nothing short of amazing. Their professionalism, talent, communication, flexibility, and pricing are unmatched. THANK YOU, MAISON CUISINE!!! We are incredibly thankful to have had this team for our special day." Also, I snapped only two photos on my phone on our wedding day.....one of the two was my roasted chicken in beurre blanc. read more

We had an amazing experience with Danielle and Nick at Maison Cuisine! They were super flexible with our Vegan/Vegetarian meal selections and the food was absolutely delicious. They were also wonderful to work with from our tasting all the way through to the wedding and very communicative with us throughout the process. On the day of the wedding, Nick was super kind to us and the guests at the event. He made us feel at ease on the day and everything with the catering went flawlessly throughout the evening. Overall, we were thrilled that we chose Maison Cuisine for our event and have nothing but positive things to say about our experience with them. read more

Danielle and Nick at Maison were so great to work with. We had our September wedding in Chicago and set up catering with Maison in the winter. The fantastic service began with the initial quote which was transparent, flexible, and clear. Danielle was willing to work within our budget so that we could have everything we wanted. The tasting sold to us that Maison was the right choice. Nick and the chef provided us so many samples and catered to us and our family. At the wedding, the service was impeccable. The wait staff was kind and efficient and worked with our very behind timeline. We got so many compliments on the food at each step (appetizers, salad, entrees, and dessert). Thank you Maison for making our day so perfect! read more

My husband and I generally don't expect the food at any wedding to be memorable, but Maison broke that rule. Everything from appetizers to entrees to dessert to late night snacks looked and tasted great. Crowd favorites were the baked brie with caramelized onion and brown sugar bites and braised short rib. The service was also excellent. They were very attentive when it came to questions about quantities and pairings and utensils, and Nick made sure our newlywed champagne glasses were never empty. They were incredibly easy to work with and we couldn't be happier with their part in making our wedding as amazing as it was! read more

We just had our wedding that Maison Cuisine catered. They were amazing from day one! Danielle was very attentive and quick to respond. Nick & the rest of the staff at the wedding went over and beyond to make everyone happy. Everyone raved about the food! Our day was perfect - Maison Cuisine worked well with my decorator to help make our vision come to life! Thank you! read more

Maison Cuisine was our first and last wedding tasting. We were so blown away by the combination of food quality and affordability. We decided to have a family style meal. Numerous guests have told us they've never enjoyed a wedding dinner as much as this one. One couple who had an allergy to the main ingredients to the salad were served a separate garden salad and told us they'd never felt so taken care of as guests at a wedding before. The Maison team is a pleasure to work with. Danielle answered my questions literally the entire year leading up to my wedding and JC was the best captain for wedding night one could hope for. From the small details like suggesting I change the timing of some of my day of agenda, to suggesting I add a pop of color to my tables with the napkins weeks before, and to having a plate of hors devours waiting for my husband and I to enjoy together after our ceremony before joining the cocktail hour. I never pictured going into my wedding day with so much trust in other people because I am such a control freak, but I felt so content because of the Maison team. Would recommend them for any event!!! read more

Danielle and Nick are the best team ever. Danielle helped us so much with selecting the right menu and answering so many questions. As someone without a wedding planner, it was so helpful and I would've been a little lost without the guidance. We used Maison for not only our catering, but our bar, servers, bartenders, and rentals (linens/chairs/tables). And it made the day so much easier to have everything running smoothly through one vendor. Nick is also amazing! He met with us for our final venue run through and really helped us solidify our timeline. He was there the day of to make sure everything was PERFECT and brought an appetizer sampler plate to both myself and my new husband, along with martinis, to give us time to eat and celebrate privately before joining the cocktail hour. I wish I could do this night all over again and that's largely in part due to how perfect maison made it. Their food is amazing! I love the variety of both the food itself and the pricing so you can really make it work for you! I also love that the vegetarian option was an actual meal and not just a bunch of sides on a plate! read more

I hired Maison Cuisine to cater my daughter's wedding and I am so happy I did. Danielle was incredibly responsive to questions and was able to guide us in decisions making. None of our dietary restrictions caused any issues for her. Nick, the manager of our event, was so nice and easy to work with. Nothing seemed to bother him. The food was delicious and the portions were just right. We hired them to also do the liquor and bartending and rented all the place settings through them. It was a pleasure not to have to worry about different vendors working with each. At the end of the night everything was clean and organized. If I have another event, they will be my first call! read more

We worked with Maison Cuisine for our downtown Chicago wedding at The Library at 190 S Lasalle. They were amazing! Leading up to the event, Danielle was incredibly helpful and unbelievably responsive. For the on-the-ground work, Nick was super knowledgeable and helped make sure everything ran smoothly. The food was sooooo good, and everyone had positive reviews of their meals. Nick & Danielle also handled all of our rentals and everything on that front also turned out perfectly. They REALLY know their stuff, and whether you are a wedding expert or a newbie planning your wedding, they are an indispensable asset. We would highly recommend Maison Cuisine to ANYONE, but especially to those who got married at our venue. read more

Danielle, Nick, J.C. (our day of Captain), and the rest of the staff were AMAZING! The staffing made the whole day super easy, fun, and delicious food/cocktails! They even helped with the clean up going above and beyond! The communication was very effective from Danielle from the start to finish. Nick did an amazing job with the tasting, and JC was very attentive during the walk through and day of the wedding. Everything we could think of was handled within a moments notice! The ability of the staff to pay attention to details, professionalism, and care shown to both us and the guest, is what made our day so special. The pricing was fair, they are willing to accommodate various dietary needs, and every guest would not stop ranting and raving about how delicious each bite was. HIGHLY recommend the beef skewers!!! Our Uncle is the officiant and could not stop saying how impress he was by everyone on site. (Mind you he does corporate events all the time). If I needed a catering service, this is the one to hire. 12/10 stars! Thank you Maison for making our day so special! read more

Where do we even begin? Danielle and the Maison Cuisine made our wedding go off without a hitch and we couldn't be more thankful!! We hired Maison Cuisine just for staffing (servers, chefs, bartenders) to server the food for for our wedding in May 2024, since our venue had an open catering policy. Danielle was responsive from the very beginning, and helped to ensure we got all of our rentals (handled the contract with the rental co.), had the right number of servers, coordinated with our alcohol delivery company, the restaurant delivering our food, and our coordinator. Everything honestly went so smoothly, we didn't even notice the catering in the BEST way possible - they flipped the room, helped with dinner set up, the bartenders were amazing and efficient, the food was constantly being refilled, dishes were cleaned up, water was refilled, everything went off without a hitch. Thank you so much Danielle, Nick, and the entire Maison staff, for making our wedding so memorable! Photos by Kate Kaplan Photo @katekaplanphoto read more

We were blown away by Maison Cuisine for our recent wedding at Loft Lucia! Their communication from the beginning was top notch. Super quick to reply, prepared for any and all questions, and so kind. The owner Danielle is fantastic. We had a great time at our tasting and Nick helped us select some of the best appetizers and entrees. They were so accommodating with our signature cocktail requests. We were so impressed with JC during our final walk through and on our wedding day. They brought our vision to life and did not miss a single detail. Their staff at the wedding (bartenders and servers) were also very aware and on top of it. Finally, the food was outstanding! Many guests told us how great it was - it was even better than at our tasting. We had the bruschetta, bacon wrapped dates, and mini grilled cheese with tomato soup during cocktail hour. For our dinner options we had the Caesar salad, bone-in chicken, filet mignon, and a vegetarian pasta. Their prices were also incredibly reasonable and competitive. We could not have had the wedding we had without Maison. Book with them for a smooth, detail oriented, caring, and delicious wedding experience! read more

Maison Cusine was the perfect caterer for my wedding! Danielle and Nick responsive, prompt and courteous throughout the planning process. We knew during the tasting that the food would be a hit, but we got so many compliments from guests that confirmed we made the right choice! read more

Where do I begin! Working with Maison Cuisine was one of the easiest and best decisions we made in our planning process. All of our guests said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding and that they were beyond impressed, and so were we! The staff was wonderful. Nick was an absolute joy to work with from the tasting, the walk through, to the big day, making the entire process seamless and easy. Not to mention, his adorable and fun spirit!! He truly took care of us with a drink and apps post-ceremony, checked in on us throughout the evening, and truly made us feel like the guests of honor! Everything went smoothly and we will be recommending Nick, Danielle, and the entire Maison team to all the future engaged couples in our lives! 10/10 experience! 4.20.24 Steph & Reed read more

Danielle and Nick were absolutely amazing to work with. They worked side by side with us from the start and answered a million questions that I had. Danielle is extremely prompt when responding to emails and Nick was the friendly face that made sure everything ran smoothly on the day of our wedding. The food was amazing and they even worked with our favorite French bakery to provide their rolls for dinner. All of our guests felt full and loved their meals, especially the apps! The grilled cheese and arancini were the best. They were also so easy to work with for various diets and were able to make almost all their food vegan. I loved having them cater our wedding! read more

FANTASTIC!! Nick led a great team at our daughters wedding 7/15 and the food was exceptional. We received so many positive comments from the guests on the service as well as the food. Well done and much appreciated!!! read more

We loved working with Maison for our wedding, they were easily our most responsive vendor! We worked with Nick in person and Danielle by email, they were both always so on top of everything and professional while still being friendly and understanding whenever a little problem came up. And all their staff we interacted with on the wedding day were just as great! Maison has a wonderful variety of entrees and hors d'oeuvres that can fit into a variety of food restrictions or be modified to do so. They even go beyond modifications and will create a custom menu for you, which we really appreciated! So we were able to do a butternut ravioli with a sage cream sauce instead of the spinach and ricotta ravioli they had listed in their menu. We also asked if they were able to do a duck confit hors d'oeuvre, they did try making it for us, but it didn't meet their Chef's standards, so he made a pork belly confit, which ended up being my husband and I's favorite hors d'oeuvre!  We did BYOB for our alcohol, and Maison gave us the great suggestion of Garfield's Beverage Warehouse, who were as easy to work with as Maison. read more

Danielle, Nick, and the entire Maison team were incredible. They made planning so easy and were so accommodating with our many questions and last-minute changes. They took care of everything the night of and made the entire event flow seamlessly. We couldn't be more grateful. Above and beyond delivering exceptional service, Nick took great care of my husband and I on our wedding night, making sure we were well-fed and always had a moment to ourselves if we needed it. While Maison provided the catering services, the food was provided by close friends of ours. It was a HUGE win/win - we got to have our friends provide food, which meant so much to us, and our friends got to truly enjoy our wedding celebration instead of working the whole evening. Highly, highly, highly recommend Maison Cuisine! read more

Choosing Maison Cuisine for our wedding was one of the best choices we made. Even with our unique setup, everything was perfect - the food, the staff and their amazing energy.

Thank you Maison for making our day so special. We still have guests talking about how great the food was, especially the beef skewers with chimichurri. read more

Maison Cuisine was an absolute dream every step of the way through our wedding planning process and the wedding itself! Let's start with the talent behind the curtain: Danielle, who is the founder, was always quick to respond to our needs and ready to give advice on what we wanted to do. She and Nick threw us an incredible tasting and helped make sure we had everything we needed for the day of. Nick gave us his honest feedback and great insight during our final walkthrough and kept us smiling and laughing at every opportunity. Speaking of the wedding day, Maison made everything simple and easy! Their staff was polite, thorough, and tended to our every need. They made sure we got plates of every course (appetizers, dinner, and dessert) and had drinks in our hands as soon as we started the post-ceremony photos! Also, we should probably mention that everything was utterly DELICIOUS! When was the last time you said that about food at a wedding?! We cannot recommend Maison Cuisine enough! 10/10 would have them cater our wedding again! read more

We cannot recommend Danielle, Nick & the entire Maison team enough! We hosted our wedding at the iconic Salvage One which is how we were introduced to Maison - but if they're not on your venue's preferred list of vendors, please do yourselves a favor and find out how to get them on there! From the initial communication & pricing breakdown, to the million questions we had throughout the process, the walk-through & day of...and everything in between, they have been great to work with! Our guests absolutely LOVED the food! It's tough to feed 134 people, but Maison crushed it. A fan favorite was the mashed potatoes! The service was fantastic and as the Bride & Groom, we could not have asked for a better experience! read more

We had so many guests come up to us and comment on the food at our wedding. I had guests say that it was the best "wedding food" they had ever had! We had compliments on the hors-d'oeuvres and the meal options, but especially the steak! Maison Cuisine knocked it out of the park! They were communicative, easy to talk to, and understood exactly what we wanted. We really appreciated how easy it was to communicate with Danielle and Nick! read more
