About Maison Cuisine

Danielle Wheeler

Founder

I founded Maison Cuisine in hopes to bring amazing food & service to clients at a fair price. I LOVE cooking, so I'm always in the kitchen checking on our chefs! I also have a passion for design, which I thin helps with our food presentation.

We only cater 1 wedding per day, so we dedicate 100% of our attention to you on your big day! We also focus on alternative diets. I'm a gluten free vegan, so I know what it's like to not beo able to eat at a wedding.

    First and foremost, let me be clear. The food was tasty, everything arrived on time and my guests were fed. End of day, thats all you could ask for. Right? So if that's all you need, then I think this caterer definitely checks all the boxes! There were some things we loved about this vendor and somethings we didn't. Starting off with the (many!) positives : - The day of the staff was professional and knew what they were doing - The variety of menu options were pretty substantial - We acknowledge that we were an extremely unique wedding with a really tight budget, we appreciate Danielle's communication and flexibility with us during this time. - Set up went exactly according to our notes and requests - Danielle was very knowledgable / experienced Some Negatives : - Over half of guests (especially family) recalled never seeing our late night pizza being passed around, yet somehow I went home with 8 boxes of leftover FULL pizzas. If we just didn't have enough pizza, that would have been on us. But the fact that we had so much pizza, that we actually had leftovers and over half my guests complained about not seeing the pizza, is upsetting. - We definitely had to repeat ourselves a lot to Danielle. In Danielle's defense, we had a ton of questions and our wedding coordinator started a few one off threads with her as well. So I'm sure it got confusing. But there were definitely times I had to answer the same question more than twice and it made me SUPER unconfident for the day of. Which just isn't what I needed to feel. - My sister made and decorated our cake. On the day of, she had to go into the kitchen to finish the lettering and she expressed that Nick not only made her uncomfortable with his active hostility to the team, but also started adjusting parts of her cake presentation before she could finish. - I want to stress that we were definitely difficult in the sense that our budget was SO small and we needed to count every penny. Danielle revised our estimate so many times in the very beginning, which was so great! But one month before our wedding we needed to refine the meal plan again (which is allowed!). But she refused to revise our estimate until the week of the wedding. Which if you have all the money in the world, fine you can wait until the week of. But if you're struggling to make the ends of your wedding meet, then yeah. Pretty hard to wait until the week before. Near the end, every communication with Danielle felt like she was frustrated and over us. We KNOW we are not her only wedding, and we know we were not her biggest spenders. But near the end the team started making us feel more like a nuisance than a client. We spent the month of our wedding in fear of being dropped. - Danielle knew we were at our wits end with money. Which is why we found it extremely distasteful that she contacted us to ask why we didn't tip. For the record, we had every intention of tipping after the wedding via zelle, but needed to wait until some of our check deposits cleared. But her asking us why we didn't tip, no less then 48 hours later made us feel extremely uncomfortable & punished. - We felt fought just about of every step of the way with a lot of our decisions. Which is pretty upsetting. I understand needing to protect yourself and your business, but thousands of dollars later we just want to feel confident our caterer had our back too.

  • Fabulous experience!

    We highly recommend Maison. We worked with Nick and Maison for our wedding in July 2023 and it was the best decision we made. The process was streamlined and Nick and Danielle were so helpful along the way and day of. The team was professional and so wonderful to work with. We felt very well taken care of and the team helped us work through best food options for the various dietary restrictions at our wedding. All of our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the food was. We will definitely be recommending Maison to our friends for future weddings.

  • Nick and Team were wonderful to work with!

    Working with Maison Cuisine was such a great experience and it was all so easy. I was initially very impressed and grateful to see prices listed on the website which helped prevent sticker shock from overall totals. Danielle was so easy to communicate with while planning things via email and Nick was so wonderful to work with. I appreciated his energy and enthusiasm so much during the tasting, the walk through and the actual wedding. The food was legitimately very tasty and the presentation and care given to everything was great! I absolutely recommend Maison Cuisine and the team of Danielle and Nick to anyone looking to plan a fun event. Thank you so much!

    We were so lucky to stumble on Maison Cuisine. Danielle and her team are insanely talented, incredibly accommodating, and very reasonably priced in the Chicago market. Several guests mentioned they offered the best wedding food they had ever had. We opted for a cocktail-style, all appetizers dinner and went for waves of different offerings, keeping people very well fed and happy. Maison Cuisine had tons of choices for any dietary restriction and preferences, making out vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free friends super happy! Our only regret is that we, my husband and I, missed out on a lot of the food from being so busy! Maison Cuisine also allowed us to bring in different outside food vendors for specific things and still handled putting out that food, which was incredibly gracious. Finally the staff, chefs, servers and bartenders, was incredible. They truly went the extra mile, were extremely attentive to my groom and myself, all the way to packing up all leftovers really nicely. I will recommend Maison Cuisine forever!
