I ordered catering from Fork It Foods for my husband's retirement reception, and overall I was very…read morepleased with the experience. While the additional fees made the total cost a little higher than I had originally budgeted, I felt the food itself was reasonably priced and well worth it. The food was delicious, and all of our guests were very happy with it. Several guests even asked where I had ordered the food from, which says a lot about how much they enjoyed it. The employees were professional, delivering the food on time and setting everything up beautifully. The presentation was elegant and added a special touch to the event. Overall, I would recommend this catering company for special occasions. The quality of the food, excellent service, and attractive setup helped make my husband's reception a memorable celebration.

"3 Chefs Catering" is actually quite an impressive catering business, located just up the street…read morefrom me. It offers numerous menu options, customizing the meals and decor for pretty much every occasion. And it's one-stop shopping, with "3 Chefs..." supplying servers, bartenders, and decorations to match your meal. I did get a chance to taste some of their food while attending a friends wedding, and it was tasty and a little fussy (it was broiled Salmon in a thick and delicious tomato-cream sauce). Also, "3 Chefs..." puts a fair amount of attention to the elegance of the table. But what is most impressive to me is the wide variety of the catering services that they offer. The "3 Chefs Catering" menu can be customized for ANY Occasion, from Cocktail Parties, to Graduation Dinners, to a Intimate & Romantic Anniversary Meal. They even offer to cater events as small as a Picnic, to ones as large as a big BBQ, or any size Party, from Weddings (serving up to 300 guests), to Birthdays, to Corporate Events and Weekend Retreats. And they don't have to make an entire meal. "3 Chefs..." will cater trays of delicate Hors D'oeuvres, chafing dishes of Appetizers, an open-bar Beverage service, to multi item Dessert Table. And to make the Holidays an easier pill to swallow, "3 Chefs..." offers to cater your Thanksgiving dinner, your Christmas Holiday feast, and even religious events like Passover & Easter dinners. This is NOT a Super-Expensive catering service, with a variety of boxed-lunches going for around $11 each. Of course , wedding dinners are far more expensive. So, if you have the money for the Full Monty, "3 Chefs Catering" will TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING, and they are flexible if in case you want the type of meal that is Not specifically offered on any of their pre-set meals. So go ahead, let them do their thing and whip up your dream feast. You won't have to wash a single plate.

We adapted a menu that we had used in previous years. Because we changed the format, our lunch was a little early and they were ready for us early - totally on the fly. And because the golfers were fast, appetizers were ready early and waiting for the post event reception. Not only did we have excellent on course service, the beverage cart girls were amazing. My husband has a dairy intolerance and made a special sandwich to meet his needs. I have had friends use Relish for private events and they were pleased with the service, quantity and quality. Thank you once again.

He recommended a rental company that he worked with too and made it easy for us to trust them. He came out to our property to know what to expect in advance. We also received a complimentary tasting which was nice and although we only selected a few items to try, he prepared more so we could see other options. For our actual wedding, he accommodated our homemade desserts that we provided and brought special tiered trays to serve them. The waitstaff for our event was great and made sure everyone was taken care of. Everything went smoothly which was much appreciated! The only challenge we had was when we initially made contact we couldn't leave a voicemail bc it was full. After calling a few times, he did eventually call back and we communicated via text primarily after that.

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.

We worked with Hearty Boys for our February 2025 wedding and could not recommend them enough!…read more Alyson and her team were amazing and we were hooked from the first tasting. Alyson listened to all of our questions and concerns with guests' potential needs. One of our guests has severe allergies and Hearty Boys was well aware, ensuring our guest was well take care of, providing a delicious meal and not missing out! The food was delicious and we received raved reviews from our guests! A huge priority for us was that the food was hot. We all know that wedding food could either be cold and/or not flavorful, but that was not the case here. The presentation was also wonderful! Luckily, Hearty Boys has worked in our venue (Artifact Events) countless times and they were a well oiled machine. Even the venue walk through with Alyson blew me away; every detail was discussed, even the drinks for the VIPs and she made sure the bridal party and parents' needs were addressed weeks before the wedding. On the day of, everything was orchestrated perfectly. As the bride and groom, we also had our own server (Scott) and he was incredible! The staff was attentive to all of my guests' needs and it was great to see everyone so happy with all details. My friends even commented about how professional the food delivery was to every table. You should absolutely book Hearty Boys for your event. They know what they are doing and you will be happy with their service!
