Awarded Best of Zola
Chef Cuellar and his entire team are incredible. From the first call, it was obvious that he and his team cared about making our wedding the magical day we had always dreamed about. Even though we lived in Philadelphia and needed to come to a tasting on the weekend, they made it work with their schedule and completely blew us away with the menu they prepared based on our first few meetings. Incredibly professional but also warm, inviting, and easy to talk to and express ourselves around. When it came to the big day, he and his team were ready to go despite a few last-minute curveballs. Our guests thought the food was amazing and continued talking about it well after the wedding ended. We cannot recommend enough Chef Cuellar and his team for weddings. They are candid about what they can do and what it might take to make it happen! For background, we had a wedding of about 70-80 and did a Mediterranean buffet style for the main course with a charcuterie board during the cocktail hour. For dessert, they prepared churros as well as multiple types of gelato.

    Chicago, IL
    • Starts at $3,000
    • Serves Lake Forest, IL

    I am a private Sushi Chef with more than a decade of experience. I first learned the Japanese Art of Sushi in Venezuela. I continued practicing this multidisciplinary craft in 3 countries before I settled in Chicago, IL, where I live now. Sushi making is a very personal experience for me and I enjoy creating something unique with the food colors, textures, temperatures, and flavors.

    I cannot speak enough good things about Franco and the experience he provides to his customers. He is communicative and clear in process leading up to the event. Once he arrives, he brings all of his own materials which takes hte stress out of a chef cooking in your own home. The food is absolutely incredible. He finds the freshest fish in the area and has an expertise in mixing flavors together. The most fun part is experiencing the chef cooking in front of you. This is especially fun for anyone with bar stools where you can watch him at work. He brings fun tools like blow torches and fryers to give you a full in restaurant like experience. And finally, nothing beats an evening with Franco himself. He is such an interesting person with a diverse set of life experiences. We could sit and talk to him for hours. In the past, we have bought a bottle of Japanese whiskey which we drink with him while he cooks. This is a great activity or date night for a special event like birthday or anniversary or just to change up your normal routine. We cannot recommend Franco enough!!!!

    • Serves Lake Forest, IL for additional fees

    JaredPierre is a boutique style catering service that has been in the DFW area since 2015 executing weddings of all kinds. We believe in bold flavors and food with an eclectic style, your food our way.

    Chef Pierre had quite a task ahead of him with my husband and I’s wedding, and he nailed it. My husband being Nigerian and myself American, we wanted to incorporate both cultures into our meal. Chef Pierre did just that by creating a menu that collaborated soul food with Nigerian delicacy in a way that not only flowed, but was delicious. He also baked our cake which was as tasty as it was eye catching. I definitely recommend working with Chef Pierre and his staff (who were amazing!) to elevate your next event!

      I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Pear Tree Catering! Shelly and her entire team are so top notch - I can't imagine anyone going with anyone else! From the first day we met with Shelly, she assured me all would be prefect - and when the wedding day came - it was exactly that - perfect! I am a very type A person (In a nice way), but it makes me worry about all of the details - but, in this case, every detail was covered and even though I still worried, they were so on it, they did so many things I had not even thought of - every little thing was done and the wedding just flowed along perfectly! On top of that, the FOOD WAS PHENOMENAL!!!! I don't think I had one guest not tell me how super-impressed they were with the food! OMG...it was out of this world! Usually you expect "wedding food", but Pear Tree makes fantastic food as if you were out dining at a fine restaurant! And they did this working with a barely there kitchen and their own set-up....unbelievable! They did our bar service, and we even had a gelato station afterwards that everyone LOVED! We were so impressed with everything....I found myself thanking Shelly (owner) over and over again bc I knew they would be good, but I didn't realize until it all happened, how absolutely fantastic this company is. I highly highly recommend!!!! You will not be disappointed!

All of our menu items are made in house to ensure you are receiving the freshest product possible.

        The Wild Asparagus team is absolutely amazing! From our very first conversation with Kelly through to our wedding day and after, s qhe and the entire team were joyful, easy to work with and flexible. Our wedding plans went through multiple changes due to COVID-19 and the team stood by us every step of the way offering advice and the occasional shoulder to cry on. When we ultimately had a small reception for 12 people in our backyard Kelly and the team made sure every detail was cared for. Our guests are still talking about the fantastic food and how Kelly and Tim (acting as our server/bartender) fit right in with the small group of family and friends. We are planning to have a first anniversary party/reception more in line with our original wedding reception plans later this year and are looking forward to working again with Diane, Kelly, Tim, Julia and the entire team. They are extended family to us now.
