La Cuisine Catering

suited the theme of our fall evening reception. On the day of the wedding, she personally arranged the fresh flowers we provided around the cake, again in a way that completely reflected the style of our decorations. She and her staff were very helpful in managing the flow of evening and were flexible in the timing of the service. All of that is terrific but wouldn't have mattered if the food had been a disappointment. In fact, the appetizers, dinner, and cake were outstanding. We received many compliments on the food alone. We are grateful for the personal touch and attention to detail that helped make our wedding a fantastic occasion.

egant dining experience. Linda and her assistant who are at the forefront of the business are not only knowledgeable, but also experts in the industry. In addition they are professional, flexible, caring and extremely hardworking. Linda helped plan our event from day one and was attentive to each and every detail along the way. She understood our vision and helped that dream become a reality. Our event budget was not only understood, but it was also maintained. La Cuisine handled all the arrangements for tables, linens, service items along with setup and tear-down, so that we were able to truly enjoy our event. On the day of our event her team flawlessly executed the plan and offered exceptional service along with a unique dining experience for our 170+ guest. Linda and her team was onsite until the very end and we are so very thankful. La Cuisine truly excels in the business and exceeded all expectations. April & Jeremy

ad so many compliments from our guests. The team was very organized and handled EVERYTHING (including details we weren't even aware of). We are so happy with La Cuisine and would recommend them EVERY time.

t quite as good at the actual event as it was at the tasting. Don't get me wrong, it was still delicious and I know it's different cooking for a small group than it is for a big event, but I won't pretend like I wasn't just a little disappointed. Even so, one guest said this was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. And I cannot rave enough about the gorgonzola grapes. I could literally eat those for the rest of my life and never get sick of them. Delectable.

portions were OK, service was OK. It all worked. So why the low low mark on value? 10 days before the wedding, they needed $2000 more than what we thought the total amount was going to be. After paying what we thought was everything but the tip and tax, this was unexpected. Not much left to do but go beg family for money- that was nice. So where our pricing was before, the value would have been a 4-5, but after this, I do not feel like what was presented was much value at all. $75 a head. Small basic salad. Chicken, potatoes, and 'mixed veggie'. Basic tablecloths, no chair covers.... They provided a bartender, this did not include any booze though. Have a lawyer review your contract, it could save you thousands, for usually less than a hundred bucks.

ave picked a better caterer for our wedding. Linda went above and beyond what your average caterer would do. She was like a wedding coordinator, who made sure everything for our reception was set up and ready. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and so juicy! Our wedding was such a success because of their incredible work!

ng more than to please me on my wedding day. The food was amazing-there are so many options! We even had gluten-free guests and they accommodated them! They will also decorate your cake however you'd like. I'd highly recommend them for your catering needs!!

. The only issue we had was the the laws in Chicago changed for the liquor stuff during the year before our wedding. We had planned on supplying our own liquor to save money, but this was no longer an option. Because of the added cost of this, I was not expecting to have such high service charges and taxes as the final payment was due. This was a shock, but completely unavoidable and out of anyone's control. I would suggest to anyone planning a wedding to add about $5000 into the budget for things like this when they come up. I must say that Jessica was great at communicating and working with us when it came to the issues that came up.

her staff handle my questions with no problem and Linda was always good about getting back to me in a timely fashion.  Linda is a vibrant woman she made planning my wedding fun. Also Linda had great ideas and suggestions. On my wedding day everything that I choose and decided with my wedding was done, Linda made sure I had everything that I wanted and that I was happy with everything, which I was very happy (I changed my ceremony setup a day before my wedding and Linda handle the new setup I wanted with no problem). My venue looked awesome! The food was absolutely delicious, all my guests kept coming up to me commenting how great the food was. The wait staff was wonderful! Very organized, super efficient, they were very nice, and polite and they kept asking my guests and myself if we were good and if we needed anything. They also were great with making sure my new Husband and I got some apps and dessert they were waiting for us on our table throughout the night. They also handle our late guests in stride getting their food to them nice and hot. My new Husband and I were very happy with La Cuisine Catering and Linda. If we ever have an opportunity we will choose Linda and La Cuisine Catering again!
