FrancoSushi 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Des Plaines, 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.

From the moment Chef Franco arrives at the venue till the moment the party wraps up, you can completely relax as a hostess and enjoy the experience. Chef Franco works seemlessly to create artful pieces of sushi that are as delicious as they are photogenic. His charismatic personality will engage and entertain you. His presentation and esthetic will attract your photographer’s eyes to snap beautiful memories. I confidently and wholeheartedly recommend FrancoSushi for your next event!

Cocina Fusion 

5.0

  • Starts at $10,000
  • Serves Des Plaines, IL

We are a full service Chicago catering company with over 15 years of experience, specializing in a wide array of culinary expressions. We service all types of events including weddings, social, corporate, and non-profits. We offer full dinner service, bar services, interactive dinner stations, late-night snacks, and brunch menus. We have an expansive selection of menus for you to choose from, including Latin & American Fusion, Traditional Mexican, Taco Bar, and Italian.

The staff was so helpful and professional! We didn’t have a wedding planner, so I organized and labeled everything as best as I could and the staff set everything up for us - the centerpieces, the place settings, the favors, our cake table, and our altar. I was able to send updated seating charts to the catering lead Marcela to help coordinate meal selections and guests placements, as well as who to serve what. I really appreciated the flexibility when it came to my brothers - both of them have autism and can be picky eaters, so I asked to have two kids meals set aside in case they didn’t like the food. And even though both boys ended up eating the main choices, Marcela had their kids meals set aside in to-go containers for the road. Dinner was delicious and everyone loved the churro cart & hot cocoa bar. Highly recommend the beef barbacoa and pollo mole, and instead of bread we opted for warm tortillas! We loved the unique menu and how we had the option to customize the menu to suit our guests. We loved that we had the option to build our contract a la cart: we paid for the use of their liquor license and their bartenders for the night, but we supplies the booze and cocktail accoutrements, which saved us a ton of money since we couldn’t really calculate all the drinking guests we had. Table linens and flatware were included, but they did have options to upgrade for things like glassware. It was so relaxing to know how on top of it the team was so we didn’t have to worry. And with how expensive and confusing most chicago catering companies were, the affordability and transparency of Cocina Fusion was a huge relief. We can’t recommend Cocina Fusion enough.

We love going out to eat at Irazu, so when it came time to pick a caterer for our wedding Irazu was at the top of our list. After we went in for our tasting we were SOLD! The food is delicious and the price was perfect. Plus the menu was super easy to have options for people at our wedding with dietary restrictions. Throughout the whole planning process Irazu was super clear and prompt with their communications, and asked us questions that ended up helping us finish up our timeline for the day of the wedding. We knew exactly what was going to happen and when, and everything went off without a hitch! Plus some very picky eaters on our guest list (my dad in particular) loved the food!! 10/10 would recommend!

Quickly moving up the ranks, he settled in to full-time event planning for the company, where he has remained working with our social, corporate and private clients for over 10 years.

I wish I could give them more stars, more reviews, more everything because they were INCREDIBLE. We are still getting compliments on our food a month later and, of course day of, everyone was RAVING. Jim was beyond helpful. He was there for us every step of the way and so supportive. The entire staff was fast, efficient, professional, supportive and just beyond friendly.

JaredPierre Private Chef and Catering

  • Serves Des Plaines, 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!
