Food was great. 10/10, cocktail hour appetizers had our guest raving. We strongly recommend them again!
Chef Jack’s is the best!! My husband and I used them as our caterer for our wedding and it was a HIT!! From the initial tasting, to the final planning process and the wedding day, we have nothing but AMAZING things to say about them! They are so professional and made our wedding day so special. Candy was an amazing person to work with on the day of our wedding and made everything run so smoothly! And not to mention the food is incredible!!! 10/10 all around :)
Chef Jacks was incredible! We had the pleasure of having them cater our wedding at their venue (Historic Courthouse) and everything was PERFECT! The food was awesome, their responses timely and everyone was exceptionally friendly. I credit a smooth sailing hit of a wedding to them - thank you Chef Jacks!!!
Chef Jack’s Catering was Amazing. I would pick them time and time again to have cater my wedding. They were so professional, made sure my husband and I had everything we needed. Their whole staff was so kind and the guests were very happy with their food. 10/10.
Chef Jack's was our caterer for our 1/25/25 wedding at Mercantile Hall and the food and staff were incredible! From our first tasting request to our wedding day, the staff was informed, incredibly helpful and kind, and very organized with outreach and communication. The food was fantastic and we loved the semi sit down option that still incorporated a buffet - it was cost efficient and still flowed so well. Our Chef Jack's staff the night of the wedding were so attentive and kind (and still kept things moving!!! which I appreciate) and made the dinner portion of the evening a breeze. We've heard rave reviews of the food from our guests, too! Definitely would recommend.
Chef Jack’s was our caterer for our wedding on 11/9, and they were the perfect choice. At our tasting, the team put together an amazing meal filled with numerous appetizers, two main courses, two sides, and a sweet treat. You MUST do the grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters, they were a hit! Chicken en croute is also a must for the main dish. We are still dreaming of that meal. Our guests complimented the food all night and for weeks after the wedding. Somehow it was even better than the original tasting. Candy was our lead from Chef Jack’s, and she was incredible, coming out often to check on us and the flow of the room overall. They were incredibly accommodating to any and all allergies and dietary restrictions that we had with our guests, and not a single person was unable to be fed, and for two of my guests who had been to weddings where they were unable to eat, this was important to me. I would recommend Chef Jack’s over and over again!
Chef Jack’s made our wedding day absolutely unforgettable with their incredible catering! From the very first tasting to the final bite on our wedding day, everything was flawless. The food was nothing short of extraordinary—every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and tailored perfectly to our preferences. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was!
The team at Chef Jack’s was an absolute dream to work with. They were professional, organized, and so accommodating to our needs. They helped us craft a menu that fit our vision perfectly, balancing elegance with comfort food favorites, and they even catered to a variety of dietary restrictions without hesitation.
The service on the day of the wedding was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and ensured that everything ran smoothly. They truly went above and beyond, not just in providing outstanding food but in delivering an experience that felt seamless and stress-free.
If you’re looking for a caterer who will wow your guests and make your big day unforgettable, look no further than Chef Jack’s. Their attention to detail, culinary expertise, and exceptional service are unmatched. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner for our special day!
Chef Jacks was wonderful to work with! They made it so easy and were so organized from the time we booked them up to our wedding day. Our guests raved about the food and we are still getting compliments about it!
Worth the cost! Our wedding guests loved the food and we did too. Everything looked exactly like the tasting. Chef Jack’s also served and helped with our very large wedding cake and we cannot be more grateful to them for that. One waiter specifically made sure my husband and I were eating and made sure we got to sample our own cake and appetizers and that meant so much to us.
I cannot say enough great things about Chef Jacks. From start to finish they were absolutely outstanding. The food was so delicious, their communication was great and they were extremely accommodating. We had guests tell us it was one of the best meals they’d ever had, not just the best wedding food. I am SO pleased with this experience and would hire them again in a heartbeat. If you’re on the fence, hop over to the Chef Jack’s side!!
The food and service was incredible- we got so many compliments throughout the night and even to this day. From start to finish, they are very professional, helpful, and organized. Highly recommend working with them!
Amazing food! Got tons of compliments all night and even weeks later. We thought the food was even better than what we had at our tasting! Chef Jack’s staff was phenomenal too. Candy, our event lead brought my husband and I a plate of apps to snack on during photos to make sure we didn’t miss any, and she even brought us a sampling platter of our dessert before it was served to everyone else so we didn’t miss it either. She was wonderful, but so was everyone else!
Their tasting appointment also stuck out to us more than any of the others. My MIL couldn't make it to the tasting last minute, and Chef Jack's packed up everything we tasted so we could bring it home to her to try!
Chef Jack's was wonderful to work with at the Historic Courthouse. They worked to add a few additional cultural items into the menu, and were able to meet all the dietary restrictions of my guests. They responded quickly to all my inquiries, food was priced fairly, and I keep hearing from guests that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Everything was served efficiently and hot, which was no small feat for my wedding of 200+ guests! Thank you so much to the Chef Jack's team!
The FOOD and SERVICE was absolutely amazing! Candy helped me throughout the process and made sure everything was aligned for the big day. The staff was super helpful and even brought my MOH a drink after her speech. They made sure we had a plate of appetizers to try when we sat down if we missed any during cocktail hour. We had the late night Mac N Cheese Martini Bar for dinner and it was just what I needed. Chef Jacks was perfect for our day and we ate so grateful we chose them! Highly recommend!!
Chef Jack's entire team was the most amazing group to work with. Not only was the food absolutely incredible, but they really took the worry out of planning such a big part of the day. They were responsive, attentive and professional. They were recommended to us by another couple who loved them and we are so grateful they did! Their high caliber of service is consistent across all weddings we've been to with them and hope to dine with them at other weddings in the future!
If we could give Chef Jacks more than 5 stars we would! Do not walk to book these caterers, RUN! From our guests, we got the most compliments on how good the food was at our wedding. Chef Jacks was super professional and provides many options to fit your wedding style. They are extremely affordable for what you get as well. They provide a nice sit down tasting which was so elegant and fun. They are also extremely accommodating to all dietary needs and preferences for our guests, and we had ALOT. Appetizers were served in a timely and professional manner with white glove service. Made our cocktail hour very elegant! They even provided us with chocolate covered strawberries (one of my only wants) and a fun little surprise at the end of the night for everyone! Candy was simply amazing as our dining captain and made everything run smoothly. She made sure that everyone got their food in a reasonable timeframe and some even got seconds! They also made suggestions on the table decor that fit perfectly and really put our minds at ease about the whole reception. They also stuck around until the end of the night to ensure the clean up would be a breeze! 12/10 would recommend.
My husband and I cannot say enough good things about working with Chef Jacks on our wedding day. The staff and their service during cocktail hour and the reception was incredible. Every member of the team was attentive and friendly. Every item of food we selected was as delicious as it was during the tasting as it was on our wedding day. I have gotten many compliments from guests saying how much they enjoyed the food. Thank you Chef Jacks for helping make our day so special!
The food was delicious and they made the planning process very painless! We had a couple of minor issues with their serving staff the day of the wedding and they apologized for those incidents and guaranteed improvement in the future.
Chef Jack's was amazing!!! Top-notch, professional, and seamless service during our event. Each and every staff member was so friendly, courteous, and on top of it. Plates were cleared just as we finished eating. Our guests were served very quickly through the buffet. The food was absolutely delicious. We had an overwhelming response of compliments and positive feedback about the food from our guests. The food was kept hot and fresh throughout the entire time. We had several special diets and they were all accommodated, but they went above and beyond to provide special meals instead of just giving them something to eat. Our gluten free guests were served their donuts that we purchased from another vendor. They were extremely reliable and communication was clear and prompt throughout the planning process.
The menu offered a variety of options and they were bale to help us make suggestions when we didn't know what to choose.
The presentation of the food was immaculate.
Packages were flexible, allowing us to customize the menu to fit our budget and preferences.
The late night quesadilla bar was an absolute hit!!!!
Overall, Chef Jack's played a significant role in making our wedding day perfect, and they provided a memorable dining experience for all. I cannot recommend them enough.
Chef Jack's was professional and easy from start to finish. We booked them about a year out from our wedding day and they were prompt and on top of everything along the way. Their tasting was easy and accommodating for us and our parents. There were multiple special touches we added to dinner/set up and they helped them come to life without a hitch. All of the people with allergies and restrictive diets were taken care safely. The black tie service they provided was elegant and they blended into the crowd so well. All the people ranted and raved about all of the food and so many plates were wiped clean! The service was prompt and issues were resolved very swiftly. Although their pricing was at the high end of our budget, their food and service were great on our big day.
Chef Jack never disappoints. We went with Chef Jack after they did an amazing job at my brother's wedding. The initial meeting was personalized and answered all of our questions. Before the wedding, they joined our final meeting to make sure that everything was perfect for our wedding day. Which it was. My guests still to this day mention how amazing our food was.
Everything was as beautiful to the eyes as it was delicious to eat. We went with a semi-sit down menu option and absolutely loved it! The guests were able to enjoy their salads and bread while waiting for their table to be called to the buffet for the main course. And for 125 people, the staff at Chef Jack's was able to get everyone through the buffet in under 15min!
I can’t say enough great things about Chef Jack’s! From our first tasting with Tony, we immediately knew Chef Jack’s was the perfect choice. Tony was awesome- so helpful and informative and made us feel so welcome and comfortable! Nicolette helped us with all the rest of the details for the catering at our wedding & she was amazing! Chef Jack’s is so organized, the food options are endless and most importantly, the food was AMAZING. Our wedding guests are still raving about how good the appetizers and food was. The presentation was great & the staff was professional and friendly. THANK YOU to everyone at Chef Jack’s for making our wedding amazing! I recommend this company to everyone!
We used Chef Jacks for our September 2023 wedding and could not be happier with our decision. Candy and Melinda were incredibly friendly, helpful and easy to work with. They paid great attention to every detail and we received so many compliments on the food, including “best wedding food they’ve had”. Everything worked perfectly, tasted amazing and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend booking Chef Jacks for your wedding!!
At our venue, the in-house caterer was Chef Jack’s but they also cater at other venues so we highly recommend!! We were able to have a food tasting for 6 people and it was amazing. They threw in extra options for appetizers, beer/wine options, and a special shot. We got so many compliments about the appetizers and dinner food and how unique it was. We had around 200 guests and they set up 2 buffet tables for 4 total lines, so it was very quick for guests to get food and there were lots of options for food. The staff put a plate of appetizers in the bridal suite for myself and the groom to enjoy a half hour before dinner since we missed half of cocktail hour and wanted to sit down with each other.
We had Chef Jacks as the caterer for our wedding and everything was truly amazing! Both the appetizers during cocktail hour and the dinner were a massive hit! Working with Chef Jacks was an incredibly smooth process and we 10/10 recommend using them for any catering needs.
The food was DELICIOUS and everyone was raving about it. The staff was incredibly professional during the event overall. We would use them in a heartbeat for a future event.
Pros: seriously— if they were a restaurant, we’d go every week. They had all the linens, silverware/dish ware, food, all taken care of. They really had everything handled.
Cons: Only comments from guests and us were they cleared plates WAY too quickly. Guests would be eating and visibly still have food and be asked if they were done. Mother of the groom was told to get water at the bar when she asked if she could finish her water. Father of the bride had a full plate cleared while he was in the restroom and didn’t get to eat. We had desserts on our table and hadn’t touched them yet and in 5 mins they were gone while we were up. We reached out to Chef Jack’s to provide them with this feedback and there really wasn’t any follow up.
I had the immense pleasure of having Chef Jack's catering our wedding, and I can't sing their praises loudly enough. Their exceptional culinary skills and unwavering commitment to delivering a memorable dining experience truly made our wedding day extraordinary.
From the moment we began working with Chef Jack's, it was clear that we had chosen a caterer who was dedicated to their craft. They took the time to understand our preferences and crafted a menu that not only delighted our taste buds but also reflected our personalities. As a bride, I can happily say that I actually had the chance to eat on our wedding day and the food was delicious and served at the perfect temperature.
What truly stood out was Chef Jack's attention to detail and their commitment to going the extra mile. During the cocktail hour, my husband and I were treated to our own sampler tray of cocktail hors d'oeuvres, a thoughtful gesture that made us feel incredibly special. It's these small touches that set Chef Jack's apart and demonstrate their dedication to ensuring every aspect of the event is perfect. Thank you to all the staff who helped make our day special! - The Hartwicks
I would recommend Chef Jacks to ANYONE looking for catering services! The food was incredible. We heard about it all night and the following day from all of our guests. The team was so organized and professional! They knew our venue well and had everything set up perfectly. Servers would approach my now husband and I first with appetizers post ceremony to ensure we got some food.
From the passed appetizers to the stunning semi-sit down dinner, our guest were well fed! The bruschetta chicken and carved beef will be something I crave for the foreseeable future.
Special shout-out to Candy who was with us all throughout dinner service! She was so sweet and fun!
Chef Jack’s was amazing since day 1! From the free tasting for 6 people, to the amazing food cooked on site, to the great hospitality, I could not recommend them more. I have never had juicer chicken in my life! I also never knew you could have both steak and chicken for every guest. Everyone LOVED the food! We also got a free appetizer and chocolate liquor shot. 11/10 recommend!
My wife and I recently used Chef Jack’s as our wedding caterer and we cannot recommend them enough!! So many guests commented to us how good the food was and we couldn’t agree more. Beyond the wonderful dinner menu, everyone LOVED the grilled cheese and Reuben shooters for the cocktail hour. Also, staff was very attentive throughout the day and made sure any guests with dietary restrictions had their needs met so everyone could enjoy their meals. Finally, leading up to the wedding the point people at Chef Jack’s were always quick to respond to various communications which made the planning that much easier for us. We absolutely loved working with Chef Jack’s and appreciate all they did for us!
Food was absolutely delicious! There wasn't one thing I did not enjoy and our guests raved all night about how great the food was. One of the waitresses put together a platter of apps for me and my husband to eat right after we finished family photos, which I thought was so incredibly sweet and exactly what we needed.
Candy was our point person at Chef Jack's, and she's amazing. She was so kind and helpful. We had numerous people drop out of our counts at the last minute and Candy said no problem, and we reworked some of the tables. Additionally, Chef Jack's was very accommodating of all the allergies/food preferences of our guests, and they didn't let flavor slip while doing it.
My husband and I used Chef Jack’s for our recent wedding on 7/7/23, and let me tell you it was the BEST decision we could have made. They were very easy to work with from the start. The initial tasting was great and very filling! We had a buffet for our wedding and we were able to customize everything we wanted for it. We had multiple multiple people tell us this was the best wedding food they have ever had, and I would have to agree. I promise you that you will not be disappointed if you use this catering service. They were very professional and efficient and have absolutely nothing bad to say. I just wish I could do it all over again in order to eat this delicious food!!
LOVED!!! our guests ALL told us that it was the best food at a wedding that they had ever had. we had the chicken ‘poof’, beef carving station and twice baked potato as a buffet for our 214 guests. they had 2 buffet stations set up and guests all said it was the quickest a line has ever moved at a wedding. cannot say enough great things about them. if you haven’t booked a caterer yet- book them before it’s too late!!
I couldn’t say more positive things about Chef Jacks! They were very communicative through the whole process with very quick responses if a question popped up. The food definitely speaks for itself! All the passed appetizers were a hit and I gone very quickly. We had a plated dinner with a preset salad, and let me just say the service was amazing! All the servers were very polite and every guest got their food in a timely manner across all the tables. A lot of guests came up to us saying that was the best food they had had at a wedding and that they were actually full. I saw a lot of clean plate club members! I couldn’t speak more highly of the experience and couldn’t recommend more.
Chef Jack's was incredible. Both the food and service was excellent, very friendly, and accommodating. We heard many guests say this was the best food they had ever had at a wedding, and we can't say we disagree!
Amazing food! Amazing company! We got SO many compliments about how amazing our wedding food was. Chef Jack's was so great to work with. Highly recommend!
Chef Jack's was amazing. From our initial tasting to our wedding day, they did a great job. they answered all of our questions and the food was INCREDIBLE! We got married last September and we are still hearing from our guests about how much they loved the food. I would highly recommend!
Absolutely everything about our wedding day was perfect and I owe that largely to Chef Jacks!
They were so willing to work with me and help me personalize my menu so everything went without a hitch! Candy is wonderful and was very quick to respond to any questions or problems I had. I am now a forever client of Chef Jacks should I ever need anything to be catered to again!
Chef's Jack's food at our wedding was DELICIOUS! The tasting was wonderfully classy and amazing. We picked just about everything we tasted because it was all so good! For our wedding, we did the European Stations and we got SO MANY compliments! People told us it was the best wedding food they'd had. We even had a couple people say it was their best meal in Wisconsin, and they live here! People say the food can make or break the wedding and man it made ours!!! Highly highly recommend! Bonus if you book a venue through them, too because the staff is AMAZING!
In a word: AMAZING. We booked Chef Jack’s due to choosing one of their venues, but after the tasting I knew it was perfect. I started counting down the days until my guests could eat their food because it is THAT GOOD. And on the day of they did not disappoint. All of my guests were talking about how delicious the food was—from appetizers to dinner to the special chocolate shot. The staff were quick and kind. Someone even came to the bridal suite and hand delivered a tray of all the appetizers for my husband and I to enjoy since we were not at cocktail hour!! Whether looking to book them because you’re using one of their venues, or asking them to cater elsewhere, you can’t pick a better caterer than Chef Jack’s.
Chef Jack's catered our wedding reception and did appetizers for cocktail hour at the Farm at Dover on 9/3/2022. They offered us a tasting menu before we put down a deposit to make sure we liked it which was very helpful during the planning process. While we didn't get to try everything on the menu we found that everything tasted great and they gave us suggestions on other options to include for our menu. Their team was flexible when it came to changing out our final choices and numbers as long as we did it before the deadline outlined. The catering team was familiar with the venue and venue staff which made for a smooth day-of operation from our perspective. The passed appetizers were great. We went with a buffet style dinner, which worked out well in the venue for our guests. The food was great and the servers were pleasant and professional. The company had strict policies about the timing and length of service but we were able to work together with them and our planner to make sure everything went smoothly and as we had planned. We would recommend using Chef Jack's for your event.
Chef Jacks was great to work with! The food was great at the tasting and just as good day of. We did the passed appetizers during cocktail hour and a semi seated buffet (salads and bread already on table). It all went very smoothly and tasted amazing. Staff was kind and attentive to needs. They were great to work with and helped our day go smoothly.
We also had numerous people with dietary restrictions and allergies and they were very accommodating. We had a ton of last minute cancelations and they rolled with our changes beautifully. They were a dream to work with and the food was spectacular.
We used Chef Jack’s for both catering and bar services at our wedding this summer and I cannot begin to explain how amazing they were. Throughout the entire planning process they were very responsive, meticulous and a pleasure to work with. They were very flexible and worked with us to customize our bar to include special wines and liquors.
On the day of the wedding, they executed perfectly. The food was amazing but it was the little details that stood out to us. The team set aside plates of all the appetizers from cocktail hour for my husband and I because they knew how busy with guests we would be. During dinner, we snuck away for sunset photos and, when we came back, the caterers offered us a second plate of food to make sure we had enough to eat. Every single caterer/bartender was enjoyable throughout the entire evening.
We interviewed 10+ caterers for our wedding and we absolutely picked the best one. If you are debating booking with Chef Jack’s, I guarantee they are the best choice in all of Milwaukee. Can’t wait to work with them again!
Chef Jack's did an absolutely amazing job catering our September 2022 wedding! The food was served hot, in generous portions, & tasted phenomenal! We even had multiple guests come up to us throughout the night to comment on just how tasty the food was! The entire staff was so kind and would continuously check in on the wedding party as well as our parents to see if anyone needed anything which was amazing. We would 110% recommend Chef Jack's to any couples looking for the most delicious wedding catering!
We have been to so many weddings, and Chef Jack's food is some of the best we've had! From their appetizers to the main course, and the inclusion of the coffee bar and desert drinks, we couldn't have asked for a better meal.
Best wedding ever! That was the response of many many of our guests. The venue was beautiful, the food was fantastic. I can’t say enough about Eric. The wedding was at the Historic Courthouse of Waukesha and everything was perfect! Sue K
Chef Jack’s Catering tastes amazing and has fantastic service! We hired them for our wedding and my guests are still raving over their dinners that they had. The food was all served promptly and cooked perfectly.
Chef Jack’s catered our wedding reception, and we were very pleased with them throughout the process. They were organized at our meeting to iron out the details, and very accommodating to changes we requested as the wedding began to take shape in the final month or two of planning. The hors d'oeuvres were flashy and inspiring, and the buffet was delicious, but by far the complement we heard most from our guests came during the dancing: Chef Jack’s came through with their signature chocolate-cupped liquor shot, and every single guest was thrilled. We would highly recommend contracting with Chef Jack’s to cater future events.
My husband and I are foodies, and after our tasting with Chef Jack's we KNEW we had to book them as our wedding caterer. We got so many compliments about how good the food was! And Chef Jack's staff was such a pleasure to work with at every step in the planning process. Highly recommend!!
