Could not have nicer things to say about working with My Chef and Jamie Walsh for our wedding day…read morecatering. We met Jamie at our venue's vendor expo and were immediately impressed by their services, pricing, and vast food offerings. It was a no brainer to book with their group! We had our tasting a couple months before our wedding day; which is complimentary to the couple and a $50 charge for any additional guest to join. They have you select 8-10 appetizers, 2 salads, and 4 entrees to taste at their Naperville location. They also have displays of china, silverware, glasses and more to help couples select what aligns aesthetically for their special day. Jamie worked with us to make small modifications to their standard offerings to make the food exactly what we wanted! Our wedding day came and we were floored by the quality/presentation of food, level of detail in place settings, and service from all staff members. We had multiple guests say that this was some of the best wedding food they've had, steaks were not over cooked, and food tasted fresh. Jamie also let us add desserts a week out to reallocate money from a couple of guests who last minute were unable to attend. Their team was even nice enough to service items not purchased through their group: disposables for the late night snack, display and refilling of cupcakes, etc. Overall, their group went above and beyond for us under Jamie's leadership. Our tables looked great, our food was wonderful, and their team was fabulous. We truly appreciate all they've done for us and could not recommend them more!

I really enjoyed the food and service of Maravela's The buffet was delicious, hot, and with a great variety. There was a vegetable tray, cheese and crackers.

I loved the salami and cream cheese presentation. I haven't seen it done that way before! The bar tender was attentive! The servers were efficient and lovely. So why not a 5 star?

Eating in the garage isn't ideal in December, but figured between our space heater and the fire from hibachi it would be toasty enough for a group of 4th grade boys. We had Mr. Hibachi in the past for my husband's bday. When I looked into options I saw that Tom from Hibachi Bros was highly recommended and also a bit more affordable than Mr. Hibachi. Booked! I went back and forth with Tom via email mostly about if we would have enough space for 17 kids in our 2 car garage. I think he was a little nervous himself, but after the party said he thinks he could have fit 22 people. Good to know for next time! They spent about an hour setting everything up and they bring it all- from tables to chairs to plates/utencils..and of course delicious food. I didn't have to do a thing, but eat some pretty amazing hibachi shrimp and sides. The boys were pretty well entertained thru the 1.5 hour dinner and they kept the food coming. They were very loud, but Tom told me if they are loud it means they are having a lot of fun. So clearly they were having a blast. ;) As for food steak seemed to be the most popular option, but they had a choice of steak, chicken, shrimp or veggies. As soon as they had their last bite of food the chaos broke out so we gave them bday cake and sent them home full and sugared up. It definitely was a pricey meal for a group of kids, but they seemed to really enjoy it and it was one of the easier parties I've thrown. A few days later our garage is still a little smelly so I definitely wouldn't do this inside my house, but I'm sure it will be back to a normal smelling garage soon.

We'd been to Cluckers several times, and we know the quality of our lunches and dinners. That said, we assumed our catering would be as good. Well, I'd say I was wrong... it was better! The folks at Cluckers Catering helped us understand exactly how much to order, and wow... the service and quality were beyond compare. So much so, that we actually are repeat customers, and have had all of our friends ask who we used. The food arrived, hot where it should and chilled where it should. We did Chips n Guac, 2350 Salad, THE Chicken, Garlic Smashed, and of course, cluckers sauce. Debs Brownies were an immediate hit, and we probably should have had more... All in all, I would highly recommend Cluckers Catering... if you've ever been there you know. If you haven't, you should.

Catering Made Simple Full Transparent Review - BRIDE BEWARE: How This Vendor Nearly Ruined My…read moreWedding (With Proof) LONGER AND FULL REVIEW IS ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE FROM ME and also in video format @blurrybutblooming on TikTok: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BLwhwhgft/?mibextid=wwXIfr If I could give zero stars, I would. Catering Made Simple was, without question, the most stressful, unprofessional, and disappointing vendor of my entire wedding. What makes it worse is that the owner chose coercion over accountability -- attempting to pressure me into deleting my review before even agreeing to speak with me. That alone should tell you how they handle their mistakes. I posted multiple public notices tagging them and gave them a deadline -- Friday, September 26 at 12:00 PM -- to reach out and make things right. Despite several attempts, they ignored every one. Planning Failures: Our contract clearly stated a plated dinner, and I provided a detailed color-coded diagram with guest names, allergies, and meal choices weeks in advance. Despite this, staff insisted it was a buffet while we were lined up for our ceremony. I had to walk into the reception in my gown minutes before walking down the aisle to correct them. Because of their confusion and refusal to listen, our ceremony was delayed -- critical time lost as we were already working around rain. Execution Failures: We paid for full cake service, but utensils were missing, and flimsy tools from a décor box labeled "Do not use" were handed to us. Our cake, made by a close friend, was ruined when staff shoved a fragile custom topper -- still in its frame -- into the cake, splitting the top tier. One staff member even called it "cheap." They also failed to provide the highboy table we paid for and placed our cake awkwardly in the back of the dessert table. Guest Service Failures: Staff hovered over tables and repeatedly asked guests if they were finished. My own half-eaten meal was cleared while I was in the restroom, leaving me hungry at my own wedding. When I asked for water, I was escorted to the bar instead of being served. Professionalism & Accountability: My coordinator was harassed to the point of tears, and staff even threatened to pull me aside during the reception to complain about her. The owner, Greg, was present all night, saw me address problems directly, and never once spoke to me or apologized. Instead, he posted defensive public comments and tried to coerce me into removing my review. The only positive: the food was warm, tasty, and as expected from the tasting -- but that's where the good ends. The impact on our wedding was significant: * Our ceremony was delayed. * My coordinator was harassed. * Our cake -- lovingly made by a friend -- was ruined. * Guests felt uncomfortable. * I was left hungry. * The owner refused to take responsibility. To top it all off, I have since been blocked from a major Chicago wedding vendor group -- likely due to a complaint from Catering Made Simple -- instead of them engaging in constructive dialogue. Catering Made Simple failed in planning, execution, professionalism, and accountability. They caused unnecessary stress and ruined key moments of a once-in-a-lifetime day -- and then tried to silence me. Brides and grooms: do not risk your wedding on this company.
