Lula Cafe

food that we would be stepping up the game. We are so grateful to Anna and the Lula catering team, and their excellent staff for cooking the unforgettable food at our wedding. Beyond providing a crave-worthy menu, we had an excellent experience working with Anna. Through many, MANY emails and calls, she answered all our questions, helped us accomodate for food allergies/preferences, and helped bring together what was for us, the most important part of the day. The team also went above and beyond-meeting with us at our venue and talking through the entire timeline, helping set tables and making suggestions on our settings and decor, and even printing menus that blended in seamlessly to our overall look. Do yourself a favor and hire Lula to make your wedding food stand out, and know that you are in the most epic, professional hands.

make it all work, and we were so thrilled with the result. We had amazing service and attention to detail, especially when it came to dietary restrictions. We're still hearing great things about the food and the bar weeks after our wedding! Highly recommend the team at Lula Cafe for your catering needs. We'll be visiting the restaurant again soon!

f, but I could not have been more wrong on either front. Anna and the crew were nothing short of amazing. Every detail was impeccable, and we had multiple guests tell us the food was the best they'd ever had at a wedding. They also did a fantastic job providing alternatives for anyone with dietary restrictions and were incredibly thoughtful in that regard. If you are considering Lula for your event, don't hesitate!

with which the entire staff took care of our guests -- so critical to what we wanted in our wedding as a big family gathering. Our food was served family style, and desserts and coffee and late night pizza kept the our guests content throughout the night. I could keep writing, but I think the best testament, and what convinced us to go with lula, was our tasting. I highly encourage any couple in Chicago to spend an evening sampling Lula's food and making your own decision -- and I can bet it'll be the same as ours. Thank you so much Lula -- we will be visiting the restaurant in the years to come, and will leave content not only with your food but the memories of our wedding.

facets of our dinner service to perfection. She was responsive to all of our requests for the reception. The food was obviously second to none in the industry given the impeccable dining reputation of Lula Cafe. I can't recommend Lula Catering enough for all special events.

had for plating, food, and drink. They easily accommodated our couple's cocktail, and the bartenders were the absolute best at getting the crowd in the right mood during the party. Did I mention that the food was incredible? Hands-down the best food I've had at a wedding, almost like being in a restaurant! All-star caterers.

ive and got us into the restaurant on multiple occasions for inspiration for our menu. Lula was very flexible, accommodating food allergies for specific guests and allowing us to make custom adjustments to various dishes. The food was incredible and the signature cocktails were such crowd-pleasers. Without exaggeration, so many guests told us it was the best wedding food they had ever had and we completely agree! Highly recommend.

or and main point of contact. She was amazing and organized. I cannot recommend her enough. If you want exceptional food and service, Lula is for you.

made the catering planning process a breeze. We had a lot of personal details during our wedding dinner and Lula Cafe handled them all perfectly. In fact, everyone from the Lula Cafe team was not only super professional, but a pleasure to be around, and that's exactly what you want on your wedding day. The service was impeccable. And of course, THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. We received so many comments on how great the food was, but that was no surprise. Our whole dinner felt like a pop-up Lula restaurant (even their Chef de Cuisine Andrew was there, which was a total honor for us). We love Lula and couldn’t recommend them more enthusiastically.

ve it at our wedding. The food was unbelievable and we are still hearing from guests about how good everything was. I can think of no reason to go with a standard catering service when you can get memorable food, amazing and kind service, and flexibility for the same price from Lula. We will remember the day forever including all of the wonderful food we ate.

g companies, and we knew we didn't want to deal with rentals, service, and bartenders separately (as is the case with many other restaurants who do events and weddings). Lula (and Anna H) were super easy to work with. We met in person to go over menu thoughts and then they crafted a unique menu that we tweaked as the wedding got closer. They basically created a customized Lula pop-up. The food was absolutely delicious. We got tons of compliments on our family style menu. The only thing that could possibly count as a criticism is that one of the side dishes was corn but it was not explicit that it would be served on the cob. But it was still delicious! The service team was spectacular, bar service was on point, and we didn't have to deal with the service ware rentals ourselves which was great. Pricing was competitive with other full service caterers in Chicago. Highly recommend for private events and weddings. The team was awesome!!

y issues we had with guests and the service was perfect. I wish they could cater every event in my life from here on out.
