  • Serves Grayslake, IL

We are a full-service custom caterer and are able to modify any menu item to suit your taste and vision. If there's something you don't see on our menu, please ask. 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.

Froggy's Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Grayslake, IL

Froggy's was founded in the summer of 1980 by co-founder Chef Thierry Lefeuvre. After a few successful years, Froggy’s responded to the ever increasing customer demand for diversified services by opening Froggy’s Catering with Thierry Mace as the director of all off-premise affairs. Thierry Mace was born in Brittany and has worked in England, Germany, and the Caribbean. Keeping in line with the objective of providing clients with innovative food concepts, exceptional service, and good value, Froggy’s Catering has been offering customized catering services of the finest quality. From intimate dinner parties to large corporate events accommodating 600 guests, Froggy’s Catering always strives to provide the highest of standards throughout the Chicago land area and across the country.

Froggy's Catering was the perfect choice for our wedding. When we see anyone who attended our wedding, they still rave about the incredible food. All of the hors d’oeuvres were divine, and the bar service was exceptional. At Thierry’s recommendation, we brought in our own alcohol to lower our overall cost. We collaborated about the menu of spirits to determine what would be the best options for our guests. Moreover, my husband and I had a specialty cocktail which Thierry and his team were happy to accommodate. For dinner, we chose the beef and chicken combination plate and passionfruit cake - both were outstanding. While my husband and I are chocolate cake people, we tried all of the flavors offered and unanimously agreed the passionfruit was the clear winner. Our guests thought so, too. We had the opportunity to taste the menu a few months prior to the wedding and make any adjustments we wanted. For example, we wanted enough bread for everyone at the table to have 2 pieces each as well as a larger serving of mashed potatoes. We also wanted a specific white wine (not French) to be served with dinner. In addition to guiding us through the food and bar selections, Thierry also helped us choose our table linens. He was wonderful to work with and graciously incorporated all of requests. He was quick to update our menu as well as our invoice. Thierry was transparent with the costs and kept us well informed throughout the planning process. Froggy's Catering is reasonably priced, offers delectable food, and prioritizes professionalism. Let Thierry and his years of experience in the wedding industry guide you as you design an unforgettable wedding menu. I highly recommend Froggy's for your wedding or other special event! You will not be disappointed.

FrancoSushi 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Grayslake, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!!!

My company hired Late To The Lake for a special corporate event. Not only did they work hard to do it on short notice, but the food was spectacular! I've never seen food presented so beautifully! Her staff was very professional and attentive to our needs. I would recommend LTTL to anyone who wanted to make an impression on their clients at any type of event. These days, it's hard to find a business that puts so much thought and care into their service. Late To The Lake exceeds that expectation and then some! Thanks for making our evening so special!

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!

The Crain Experience 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Grayslake, IL for additional fees

Welcome. Chef Jason started out in the kitchen at 15 years old as a dishwasher at Red Lobster washing dishes and baking. From there, he worked many cook’s lines until I earned my first chef position under Emeril Lagasse over ten years ago. He's went on to operating casino kitchens, private dining clubs. Since relocating from Atlanta, GA Jason has gained experience in kitchen consulting and new restaurant openings. After 25 years in the industry, He is now starting a new journey into the Private Chef sector. He refers to his style of cooking as Southern Creole cooking, where it’s much more than cooking…it’s about the overall experience.

I would recommend Crain Experience anytime Chef Renny & Chef Jason was absolutely wonderful!

Bartender 608 Intoxicologists & Cocktail Caterers, LLC. 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Grayslake, IL for additional fees

Since 1995, China Moon has bartended for dive bars, house parties, underground events, celebrity bashes, and fine dining establishments in NYC and the Midwest. She’s an old soul with a heart for gardening, reading, music, dancing, animals, and, when it’s safe again, putting her passport back in the rotation. She holds a degree in Hotel & Restaurant business management, was the Private Dining & Event Manager at The Edgewater Hotel from 2016-to 2018, and is a member of the Beta Beta Psi chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. China Moon is an eager reader (and dotes on Stephen King and Dean Koontz novels.) She loves aged Brugal Rum on the rocks with lime.

As a wedding venue, we have been fortunate enough to see most, if not all, of the mobile bartending service companies in the Madison area. Bartender608, China Moon (owner) and her staff are the best to work with. They are very responsive to us, as a hosting venue, and their clients who are typically the bride and groom. China and her team arrive on time, or early, have a very professional set up and always dress the part. Bartender608’s service is always efficient regardless of the size of your group. If we were hosting our own wedding or party, Bartender608 would be an easy and immediate Yes Please!
