    “ Billy Bricks catered our wedding on Saturday May 18, 2024 and we could not have had a better experience! From the moment I contacted them Craig & his team answered every and all questions quickly and put me at ease every step of the way. The day of the wedding they were nothing short of professional! All the food was made on time and it was DELICIOUS! All 160ish of our guests had nothing but great things to say about the food. In fact, it was talked about for the rest of the night! They all kept saying it was the best food they've had at a wedding ever. If you're looking for something fun and unique for any of your events I could not recommend Billy Bricks on Wheels enough!

    Wooden Paddle Catering

    • Serves Elgin, IL

    Wooden Paddle Catering is Chicagoland's go-to for full-service wedding catering that's anything but ordinary. We roll up to your venue with mobile wood-fired brick ovens and cook everything fresh and live — wood-fired pizzas, chef-designed apps, desserts, and craft cocktails your guests will not stop talking about. We handle it all: professional staffing, full bar, rentals, setup, and teardown. Family-style, plated, or stations — you name it, we bring it. With 10+ years and 1,000+ events across Chicagoland, we've been to just about every venue in the suburbs. Serving the greater Chicago area within 50 miles of Lemont. 🔥

    We hired Wooden Paddle Catering for our wedding and had a mixed experience overall. The food turned out delicious and the setup on the day of the wedding ran smoothly for the most part. Except cake was never served to tables and instead placed on its own table, which would have been no issue except they didn’t communicate that to anyone so most of that was wasted. Our servers and bartenders were fantastic. They were attentive, friendly, and made our guests feel taken care of throughout the night. However, communication leading up to the event was frustrating since the team often took over a week to respond to our emails and calls. Despite the slow responses during planning, they delivered on the day and we were happy with the final result. If you go with them, just be prepared to reach out early and give them plenty of time to get back to you.

    Our event coordinator Kristina Hickey was exceptional - she walked us through every step of the planning process and even set up a special tasting for just the wedding couple. The crew from Lee n Eddies was efficient and meticulous, quickly converting the small venue's sanctuary into a dining hall for over 50 guests. They showed great compassion, carefully attending to the bride's vegetarian dietary needs. When the event ended, the crew efficiently cleared and cleaned the sanctuary, leaving it spotless for Sunday services the next day. Lee n Eddies' professionalism and attention to detail helped make our special day truly perfect.

    Cody’s Belly Bites 
    Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
    • Starts at $5,500
    • Serves Elgin, IL

    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.

    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.

    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!!

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.

They even created custom cocktails for us with cultural twists. The crème brulee station was perfect. The end result was a truly memorable and personalized menu that all of our guests loved. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience - highly recommend The Caterist for any couples looking for a fabulous, customizable option for their wedding day!
