    Amazing food!

    Chic Chef went above and beyond in every aspect of catering our wedding, most notably in the incredible service! The dinner food and appetizers were amazing, chef Ravi and his team run a seamless operation. We had multiple guests tell us this was the best wedding food theyve ever had!

    Book Chic Chef!

    We could not have been happier with Chic Chef. This team is made up of some of the friendliest, easy-going people. The positive experience starts the minute you have a tasting with them. They are very communicative and quick. On top of being easy to work with, the service AND the food on our wedding day was top tier. Our guests just raved about the food and we were extremely impressed with the consistency! We had the chicken, short rib, children's meals and a few guests that had a vegan dish. Every single guest was impressed with their meal. We felt so cared for by Chic Chef on our day - do yourself a favor and look no further! Book Chic Chef!!

    Incredible Team, Incredible Food

    We cannot rate Chic Chef high enough. They are, without question, a top-notch catering team in the Chicago area.

    Throughout the entire process (two tastings, venue walkthrough, and reception itself) the Chic Chef team was highly communicative, flexible to all our requests, and extraordinarily kind and professional.

    Throughout the tasting process the provided us not only with the menu options we selected but additional dishes they thought paired well with some of our initial selections and additional recommendations (that we ended up using). They encouraged us to sample each option and provide any preparation adjustments we thought necessary (more or less sauce, less seasoning, swapped toppings, etc.) and took studious notes to ensure these tweaks were included...

    PLEASE take my advice and book Chic Chef for your catering - you truly will not regret it!!!

    The absolute best decision we made throughout our whole wedding process was booking Chic Chef for our catering!! As soon as we met with Lucy, we cancelled all other catering tastings we had booked. The food we had at our tasting was 10/10 incredible, and we knew we wanted to to lock them down.

    From that very first tasting to the weeks leading up to the wedding, the whole Chic Chef team was beyond helpful. Lucy worked with us to finalize our menu and guest count, and she made the process stress-free.

    On the day of our wedding, the Chic Chef team truly made our event incredible. They brought appetizers to me in the bridal suite...

    1000/10 would recommend!

    Planning a wedding is wild, and one of the biggest areas of complexity is catering. We wanted a sophisticated and refined experience, with food that would be memorably good, and fun details that would blow our guests minds. We got all that and more with Chic Chef and Lucy.

    From our very first phone calls and emails, through our big day, the whole team was friendly and professional in all the right ways. The balance between the two can be hard, but we never felt like it was purely a business transaction. Lucy and the team were incredibly flexible and accepting of some of our weird ideas (like banana margaritas), and generally just took away all the stress.

    Disappointed in Service

    We hired Chic Chef to provide American food along side our Indian food options for our mixed Indian/American Wedding. We weren't able to schedule a tasting with Chic Chef since they only do weekdays during work hours. Instead, we sent our parents, who loved almost all the dishes they tried! The short-rib and mashed potatoes were excellent, but the blackened salmon seemed to be hit or miss depending on the table. The food was plated about an hour late at the reception which caused a delay with the Indian food as well since everything was served together family style. Communication was also a bit frustrating and there was often a delay in responses and repeated questions/answers. The food was...

    Awesome food and great people

    I cannot recommend Chic Chef enough! The food and service was fantastic. We got a lot of compliments and they were flexible as we changed aspects of the service/menu up to the last minute and asked for an 8+ hour open bar. Staff was great as well. Responsive, patient, thorough, and committed to their clients.

    A Fantastic Vendor!

    Everyone we worked with at Chic Chef did everything in their power to make our wedding as great as possible. From the planning, to the tasting, to the actual meal, Chic Chef did everything very well. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to work with a professional staff and enjoy some great food on your special day.

    The Best Caterer

    Wonderful company and service! Ravi and his team take care of your every need!! They worked with us and allowed us to custom tailor our menu! Helped us with meals for friends who were vegan and gluten-free! They even allowed us to purchase our own alcohol which they served for us. I am going to recommend this company to all of my friends! Guests loved the food too! The best service I have had at a wedding!

    Great food and service!

    Ravi and Lucia were great! Lucia was extremely attentive to emails and the company overall made it a point to adjust the menu to our liking. They even added our favorite diet drinks to the bar. The servers on the day of were very attentive and asked us consistently if we needed any food or drinks throughout the night. We had a server just for us at our sweetheart table. The food was excellent from the tasting all the way to the big day. We even had some meals extra because some people didn't show and that they let us take it home. We had some people cancel because of mitigating circumstances and they allowed us to refund those 2 meals. Overall great service and would highly recommend!

    Great company!

    Chic Chef was absolutely amazing for our NYE wedding. My husband and I had a vision when it came to our wedding food. We didn't want the traditional sit down plated meal, but instead wanted a more relaxed vibe with carving stations and lots of appetizers being passed around. Ravi helped us make this dream become a reality, and everything was PERFECT. I can't keep track of how many people complimented me on the food. Aside from the deliciousness, the service was outstanding. The head table was constantly being checked on, and there was always an appetizer tray going by. The staff even joined in our midnight countdown and dancing!!! Only reason this isn't getting the full 5 stars...

    Incredible!

    Chic Chef was incredible to work with and had such a big part of making sure our day went smoothly, and the food was incredible! On top of that, the pricing is incredibly reasonable. They truly check off every box.

    We got so many compliments about the food from guests, which isn't always super common with other weddings I've been to! They offer such a wide selection of types of foods and we had a hard time picking our menu because there were so many great choices! We also utilized them for bar service, and the bartenders were great.

    Their team was so helpful in helping to set up and take down so much of our decor...

    Incredible Experience

    Chic Chef was incredible to work with and the food was awesome! Ravi and Lili were incredibly flexible and went above and beyond to make our day special. The service was fantastic from the day we contacted them through the wedding day, we truly could not have asked for anything more! They were so accommodating to all dietary restrictions and our guests gave glowing reviews of the food and service! In addition to delicious food and perfect service, Chic Chef’s prices are very reasonable.

    The best! We loved them

    Irina was so easy to work with and Stella was the most amazing captain! We had multiple guest mention how polite everyone was. My husband takes ages to eat and I requested they not clear his plate until late night snack arrived and was so happy to see it still there later so he could actually finish his dinner for once 😂 The food was all delicious and the buffet ran smoothly and quickly. Big thanks!!!

    Great food, great price

    We can not say enough good things about Chic Chef. We hired them for our May 2022 wedding. After our initial tasting we were blown away by how good the food was and how reasonable the price was. We assumed there was no way the food would be as good on the day of the wedding. We were wrong. Everyone raved about the food! We had multiple guests with special diets and all were accommodated. The staff was attentive and friendly! We’d recommend Chic Chef to anyone getting married.

    Budget-friendly but flavorful wedding food!

    For our wedding, we wanted good food that had a bit of exciting flair and flavor (not your basic wedding blandness) but that was within our budget. Chic Chef was able to provide this, and was extremely willing to work with us to craft a menu that was interesting but also budget friendly. Their tasting was lovely and Chef Ravi was very attentive (and tolerated my mother’s many questions). Initially we were just going to do veggie (stuffed peppers), chicken (Greek chicken), and beef (Brazillian churrasco) options but decided to taste the lamb rogan josh (curry) on a whim and fell in love so we added it to the menu too, expecting only a few guests to select it....

    Hands Down The BEST!

    From the day of the tasting up until the end of our wedding, working with Ravi and the Chic Chef team was nothing but spectacular. Having a palate for finer foods, I knew that I wanted the food at my wedding to be spectacular; and it was everything and more! Nothing but amazing remarks on the food from all our guests and some guests went up for 2nds and even 3rds (buffet style)!

    Not only was the food amazing, but the whole team was efficient, energetic, and professional. They worked well together as well as with all other vendors involved during the day. I cannot thank Ravi and his team enough for knocking it out of the park and helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect.

    Book with Chic Chef!

    I honestly cannot recommend Chic Chef enough. Every single person I interacted with was incredibly helpful and clearly loved their jobs. Their food tasted delicious and the service was quick and efficient on the day of. I love how the is a twist on standard wedding food, all of the guests were blown away. Beyond their delicious food, they are organized and communicative throughout the entire planning process. The captain and crew working that day of made sure that they went above and beyond to take care of anything going wrong so that the bride and groom have a seamless day. I seriously cannot sing their praises enough. Book with Chic Chef Catering, you won’t regret it.

    Chic Chef was the absolute best caterer we could have ever imagined for our wedding! After several postponements, changed plans, roadblocks, etc., they were there to work through everything with us. The food is AMAZING. All of our guests were obsessing over the meals. Not only that, but their staff was incredible to work with. From event managers, to wait staff, to cooks, to bartenders, to coordinators -- all of them were amazing. Don't hesitate to hire them, just do it! Ravi knows what he is doing!

    The best pick for a foodie!

    I LOOOOOVE CHIC CHEF. I typically hate wedding food but.....this food is GOOOOD! They are so good at their jobs, hands down one of the best vendors at our wedding! If not, the best! They made the day so easy for me! I had some issues the day of my wedding, none of them their fault and ravi was so patient and helpful. The food was phenomenal, everyone loved it. Especially the hour d'ovuers!! Honestly, they are so well priced and accomedating. They do a wide range of food as well, we had a mexican-vietnamese wedding and our menu reflected that. Honestly, they are the best caterer. I havent tasted better food at anyone's wedding 🤣🤣💕
