5 Stars: BEYOND Exceptional! The Best Wedding Food and Service We've Ever Experienced We hired Amazing Edibles for our wedding, and we cannot recommend them highly enough, they are true memory-makers, not just caterers. From the very first consultation, Andrea, Samantha, Remedy, and their entire team were more than accommodating, genuinely listened to our vision, and worked tirelessly to make every single request happen, setting the stage for a truly flawless event. Service & Attention to Detail: The Epitome of Hospitality The service provided by the entire staff (wait staff and bartenders) was impeccable. Our guests are still raving about the warm, flawless feeling they received. The attention to detail was exceptional, perfectly executing our vision with the stunning place settings. Our tables, complete with luxurious velvet napkins and elegant gold flatware, looked absolutely breathtaking. The passed appetizers and drinks (including amazing martinis and Guinness!) during cocktail hour were phenomenal and truly elevated the experience. Furthermore, our dedicated personal waitress was attentive and perfectly attuned to our needs throughout dinner, ensuring we were taken care of without ever having to ask. The management went above and beyond: Samantha was magnificent on the floor, running the show with a constantly smiling face and checking in with us exactly when we needed her. Andrea came personally from the kitchen to check on us (bride & groom) during cocktail hour, a gesture of personal care that was truly next level and meant the world to us. The small moments, like a bartender immediately filling my champagne glass when I set it down, summed up their proactive and attentive staff. They even stayed late to help my dad with cleanup logistics! Their whole team embodied the epitome of the service industry. The Food: Absolutely Incredible We simply cannot say enough about the food, WOW! It was absolutely incredible. We know hot food at a wedding is a rare feat, but the temperature of every single dish was perfectly hot, a massive undertaking that didn't go unnoticed by our families. The generous portion sizes were appreciated, and the incredible preparation of the fall vegetables, braised short rib, potatoes truly captured the harvest theme we wanted. Incorporating our specific request for Kerrygold butter and ensuring all wine glasses were filled were just more examples of their dedication to personalized care. The feedback from our guests has been overwhelming. Here are a few messages we received: "I think the food at your wedding was the best wedding food I have ever had." "The beef at the wedding was one of the best pieces of meat I have ever had." "Everything was absolutely perfect; that was BY FAR the BEST meal I've ever had at a wedding, and probably ever will have." Crafting a Once-In-A-Lifetime Moment Amazing Edibles gave us a once-in-a-lifetime meal and moment that perfectly reflected our hopes of breaking bread with the people we love the most. Their commitment to excellence transformed a simple gathering into a beautiful, collaborative feast that made our guests feel cherished and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy our celebration. Their commitment to excellence made our wedding day not just beautiful, but truly flawless. Thank you, Andrea, Samantha, and team, for everything!

Similar to Juli D, my wife and I hired Amazing Edibles to cater our wedding on July 22, 2018, at a loft we rented in Logan Square. They were actually the third catering company we contacted. The first two, based on friends' recommendations, left us feeling a little hopeless - that we'd inevitably end up paying too much for a service/offering that didn't quite deliver - and, looking back, that was maybe partly to do with our request. Our wedding wasn't traditional or normal or easy - it was a disco-themed surprise wedding taking place in the middle of a joint bachelor / bachelorette party. What we wanted from a caterer was an open mind, delicious food, flexibility, and some genuine enthusiasm for our idea that would help spur creative thinking for how we were going to pull the event off (because we didn't really have a clue). In the early days of our search, we kept seeing the word 'personalized' on catering companies' websites. That's what every couple is looking for in their wedding, right - a personalized event and memory, an embodiment of their love come to life for their family/friends. As such, it's essential that the vendors and people involved buy into your vision. Of the three vendors, Amazing Edibles was the only company actually offering personalization, and that was only the beginning. From our initial consultation with Andrea and Sarah through the day of, it was genuinely evident they wanted in and would do everything within their power to deliver. For our first meeting, Andrea had a spread of bites ready for us to sample, and both asked questions that helped us fill in some of our plan's gaps. They never once said no or expressed frustration with some of the more difficult asks. Sarah was in constant contact with us leading up to the wedding night, always available to answer questions and amend our contract if we had changes (which we did a few times, pretty late in the game, and it never posed a problem). That brings us to the wedding night, and WOW - the set-up, food and service. Gorgeous, speedy set-up - incredible food - and a crew that kicked ass and accommodated our every whim. Based on the other reviews I've read, there's no event, big or small, conservative or out there, that Amazing Edibles is not equipped to handle. Andrea hires the best and works with the best, and that, along with her expertise, attention to detail, and totally charming self, is what makes Amazing Edibles the best catering company in Chicago. read more

Amazing Edibles catered my wedding and I could not have asked for better food or service!!! The food was sooo delicious, which I knew from trying it at the tasting, but it tasted even better that night. Amazing Edibles added their secret ingredient: love! Seriously, the food was fantastic, and if you have friends or family who is vegetarian, I highly recommend their vegetarian (and vegan) options, such as the beat and blue cheese salad, roasted root veggies, asparagus, berry avocado salad, and NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED MAC AND CHEESE . I highly recommend including any of these in your dinner as healthy, delicious, and veggie friendly options, which served along with the beef short ribs and chicken piccata pleased our entire crowd, from vegans to carnivores, and gave everyone lots of energy on the dance floor. Also, the staff were fun, professional, and gave their 110% the entire time, from the moment they stepped into the kitchen, preparing food and drinks, to serving a marvelous dinner to quickly cleaning up and serving drinks. They even set up a private room for me and my bride to have a quick bite and a moment to ourselves before everyone showed up, complete with Champaign and a plate of their delicious appetizers. Once we transitioned from dinner, the staff served drinks and desserts and dazzled my guests with their AMAZING service. The next day at our post wedding brunch, a bunch of our friends remarked how impressed they were with the servers and bartenders, especially their speed and ability to prepare and serve drinks, and even knew learned peoples favorite drinks based on what they had ordered already that night. Besides their perfect execution that night, they also helped us leading up to the Amazing Edibles went above and beyond any catering service that I have ever experienced and I can't recommend them enough to anyone who is looking for a fun, delicious, and professional m catering experience for their wedding. Their delicious food and amazing catering service are an unforgettable part of the eat night of me and my wife's lives. Thank you Amazing Edibles! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Amazing Edibles for our wedding at Room 1520 on September 21, 2024, and they exceeded all our expectations. From the very start, the tasting experience was exceptional. They made us feel special by showcasing all their menu options and presenting the food beautifully. Since one side of our family is Greek, they thoughtfully tailored the menu to include Greek-inspired dishes, which was a wonderful personal touch. On the big day, everything was seamless. Amazing Edibles handled the setup without any stress, and the timing of the meal went flawlessly. The food was not only delicious but also received numerous compliments from our guests. They included a late-night snack, which was a fun addition and a great way to end the night. One standout moment was when they prepared a private hors d'oeuvre plate just for me and my husband to enjoy before the cocktail hour - such a thoughtful and generous gesture. We also appreciated that they allowed us to bring in our own cake, and they decorated it beautifully without us even asking. Additionally, they were very accommodating when some of our guests brought their own desserts, displaying them beautifully for everyone to enjoy. Amazing Edibles took our preferences into account, offered suggestions without being pushy, and went above and beyond in developing the room layout and event flow to ensure everything ran smoothly. The entire experience was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for better food, service, or attention to detail. Remedy Gaudino and the Amazing Edibles team were incredibly organized, attentive, and delivered on every promise. We highly recommend them for anyone looking for a caterer who goes above and beyond to make your event special. read more

Wow! We loved these guys. Our venue sent us a list of recc'd caterers and I am so happy we went with Amazing Edibles. Firstly Remedy, Sarah Ann and Andrea were super responsive, totally knew all their stuff and were incredibly respectful of our budget and desires. The tasting with them was fun and Very tasty and I can't thank them enough for how our wedding went last weekend. We got to the venue and honestly everything was done and done better than I could have imagined. They flipped the room after the ceremony and I can't get the picture of how beautiful it looked out of my mind! They know how to set a gorgeous table even with our sort of minimal decor. The lead greeted us and asked us only necessary questions and then just got it done which was a godsend because of all the chaos of our families and wedding party etc. We came back to the private room after our photos and there was a gorgeous plate of appetizers and our signature drinks there waiting. All of our guests told us how amazing the food was, bar staff was great, and not a single thing was out of place or late or off. At the end of the night them or the venue staff Both? (they worked in tandem with Ovation, Chicago) handed us a box of all our stuff rounded up from everywhere and thank god they did because by midnight I dunno if we would have been super able to find it all ourselves! Absolute professionals who know exactly how to cater an amazing party. Our venue was super happy that we chose them because they love working with them too and it's clear to see why. They took all the stress out of all those small things you don't even think to think about and I can not recommend working with them enough. Thank you all again! read more

Amazing Edibles catered our wedding back in Feb 2018, and I cannot say enough good things about this company! I completely agree with the other reviews - down to earth and very knowledgeable. We had our tasting in July 2017 for our wedding reception in Feb 2018, which we had approx 275 guests at the Chicago Cultural Center (which has a kitchen space, but caterers must bring their own equipment). With our guest count and venue, it was important for us to find a good caterer that had experience handling this size event and venue. We worked with Sarah, she was very sweet and easy to work with. She was always available and responsive to us throughout the entire process. We had the opportunity to sit down with the owner during our tasting, which was really awesome to feel like we were a client that mattered to them. She really informed us about things we didn't even think about, which made me question why other caterers hadn't mentioned certain things. We considered other caterers (Blue Plate, Limelight, etc), but ultimately decided to go with AE because we felt like they truly cared about our event and we were really happy with the food quality. Amazing Edible staff and service was accountable and reliable; their whole team is in-house staff and they don't outsource staff come the day of your event (which can really impact things)...they are a local family-owned business, which felt nice to do business with too. I highly recommend them! read more

The best catering team for our wedding we could have asked for! We worked really hard to find a caterer that was down to earth, knowledgable, and had great food. Amazing Edibles was it - no doubt. We had a wonderful tasting with Andrea. Not only was the food good, but we had FUN! We got along well with her and knew that we were in good hands for our big day. Working with them in the weeks leading up to the wedding was a breeze. Diana was on top of everything and we always had an updated invoice that reflected our additions and changes. They were a great source of advice and helped us figure out details specific to the venue. We knew that no matter what, they had our back and would do the best they could to make everything perfect. Wedding day was perfect! And a lot of that was thanks to Amazing Edibles. They did an amazing job setting up the venue (Floating World Gallery) and helped set up our decorations. Each detail was executed perfectly. We heard SO MUCH positive feedback on the food. People loved it and came up to us all night telling us how amazing it tasted. My husband's uncle even asked for their business card! It was delicious comfort food and it truly made our wedding night better. I couldn't recommend the Amazing Edibles team enough. They will not disappoint. read more

We used Amazing Edibles to cater our 12/8/2018 wedding and they were nothing short of AMAZING!! From the initial phone call to the day-of, the service we received was impeccable! You can tell that both Sarah Ann and Andrea really care about their clients and the service they provide! Food: We wanted to go a little untraditional for our wedding food since we had a fairly large wedding and did not want assigned seating for dinneAndrea came up with the brilliant idea to go heavy on the apps and then have a taco bar and a Mac and cheese bar for the dinner portion! We received SO many compliments on the food the night of our wedding and are still continuing to receive compliments to date! Topped off with a donut wall (using Stans Donuts) and macaroons for dessert, I'd say they pretty much nailed the food game! Staff: Equally amazing! Everyone one of the staff members went above and beyond at our wedding! (Some of the bartenders and waitstaff even joined us at out after party!) Price: Beyond fair! We spent a lot of time and research on caterers in the city; Not only did AE come back with the most reasonable pricing for the food itself, but their staffing, delivery and rental fees are also extremely reasonable! Save yourself the research time and book Amazing Edibles ASAP! read more

Hired for our wedding Apr 28, 2018... Amazing Edibles is perfectly named. Their food is fabulous and our guests were delighted. Andrea Herrera gets it all done -- she suggested revisions to the menu I hadn't considered which made the offerings stronger; her people, all of them polite, strong, appropriate and -- I mean this -- happy. It adds to the tenor or an event to have capable people handling food and beverage, and all of them people you enjoy having around. The caterer can make or break an event... Andrea, as well as her people were all competent, likeable pros. I like to say that I'm "touch but fair", a skeptic and I don't suffer fools. All true. I can also be a pain in the ass. It was my wedding, right? Andrea knew how to handle me, a few problem people and never... never anything but authentic delight and talent in her work. It was great watching her work. She also ensured I was fed (happens at your own wedding). Brava! Delighted to recommend Amazing Edibles. This rave review was well earned by Andrea and her amazing team. My thanks.

Andrea and her team were AMAZING to work with. From the first inquiry, through the tasting, attendance at our venue walk-through, and the night of our wedding, Amazing Edibles were professional, thoughtful, and reliable to make our vision become our reality. We came to them with an idea for a fall menu (Oct 1st wedding), and they EXCEEDED our expectations. Our plated meal was warm, served timely, and absolutely delicious. Our specialty cocktails were curated to our exact request and our rentals (linens, glassware, plates, etc) were exactly as ordered. Every staff member, including bartenders, was kind, professional, and attentive to every guest. They instilled confidence in us early in our relationship due to their experience, insight, and wonderful ideas. They had a great working relationship with our venue (The Lytle House) which made communication, timeline, and flow of the night a breeze! We would give them 1000000/10 stars if possible - we love Andrea and A.E.! read more

Amazing Edibles stepped at the last minute when my caterer canceled for health reasons. I had 125 guests coming for drinks and appetizers at a networking event at 1871 at the Merchandise Mart and once I contacted Amazing Edibles the beverage and food aspect of the evening was literally off my plate. Amazing Edibles lives up to their name in every respect: service, style, class, delicious food, attention to detail, and they are incredibly easy to work with as well. Many guests commented on the quality of the food and presentation saying it was the best ever. The whole staff are incredibly professional, great listeners and demonstrate that they truly care that your event lives up to expectations. I'm truly grateful to everyone at Amazing Edibles. I have already recommended them and will be happy to use them at every opportunity. read more

Amazing Edibles has catered a number of events for me. From start to finish, the company delivers amazing value, fantastic food, great service, and are unbelievably accommodating about all requests. Menu planning is made easy with a variety of options at all price points. There has never been a disappointment in terms of taste. The food is delivered on time, beautifully plated, and, if servers are requested, they are impeccably dressed, good humored and do a lovely job. Favorite items that are a sure hit: the fantastic cheese and fruit tray (amazing cheese choices), and the beef tenderloin sandwiches. Cannot say enough good things about Amazing Edibles. I have never used another catering company after my first experience with them! read more

The staff at Amazing Edibles are truly amazing! Andrea and her team, especially Diana, guide you every step of the way with planning an event. We have used them for a number of years for our annual school fundraiser, and no matter what we asked for, they could provide it. They are flexible and friendly, and utterly professional. As we planned our 20th anniversary gala this year, (a much larger event than in years past), they helped us stay on budget and provided advice when needed. I didn't have to worry about a thing re: catering that night as I knew I was in good hands. And the food was absolutely outstanding! read more

I've used amazing Edibles for the last 14 years and I couldn't be more satisfied. My clients love the fresh quality of the food they cater for us on a daily basis. They always see to come up with creative ideas to revamp their items and menu. My clients love this as they feel like they don't have repetitive items when they visit our office. The delivery has always been on time and the staff is super friendly to work with. I've had many caterers reach out to me and I couldn't even think about using another vendor as I love having a dependable quality service that never disappoints! read more

My wife and I had Amazing Edibles cater our wedding reception and they were wonderful! The food was delicious (we even had some guests tell us that it was the best meal they ever ate), the staff was courteous and helpful, and the entire process from first contact through the reception was seamless. Andrea and our coordinator contact at AE were very helpful and answered all of our (many) questions in the months leading up to our wedding day, and we were blown away by the quality and service at our reception. I highly recommend Amazing Edibles to cater your event! read more

The tasting from AMAZING EDIBLES CATERING, met our very high expectations. The food was AMAZing. Everything we tasted was incredibly good, I just wanted to stand there and taste everything on the menu. Unfortunately, my stomach ran out of room far too soon. I desperately wanted to enjoy dessert, but alas it was not in the cards. Everyone from the Registrar office, construction workers, Graduate School staff, Facilities Maintenance enjoyed the lunch. - I have a new Name #NUlovesAMAZingEdibles read more

Amazing Edibles are ...Amazing! :-) They cater our Groupe Lacasse parties in our Chicago Merchandise Mart showroom for more than 5 years. And every time Andrea and her team make the magic happen. Our parties are huge (over 300 business guests) and everything runs smoothly and seamlessly during very busy NeoCon shows. The set-up, the food, the bar service, etc. If you are in need of music, ideas, decoration, flowers - Andrea will gladly refer you to the best. The food is awesome time after time! read more

We had Amazing Edibles do all the catering for our wedding. They were SO amazing. Our venue had an open vendor policy, so Amazing Edibles worked with us to serve the food that we wanted. They were able to make it an easy process, from deciding what food we wanted to serving everything with seamless transitions. Andrea and Sarah were fabulous and I really hope to see them at future weddings we attend. I truly recommend using Amazing Edibles for your catering needs! read more

I have worked with Amazing Edibles at least 10 times and in each case the food and the service was spectacular. I operate a venue and refer Amazing Edibles to my clients. They are always more than satisfied with everything! The food is so yummy and everything always runs smoothly. The staff is a pleasure to work with and are so attentive to all the guests. Really can't say enough about how great it is to work with the Amazing Edibles crew! read more
