My husband and I were recommended Northern Fork through our venue and we were not disappointed by their catering service for our reception! When we had inquired about their service...

s, they had sent us a draft menu for our micro-wedding/reception – we ended up loving their draft menu right off the bat! Kelsey was a fantastic point of contact, Myrissa helped coordinate with our venue with our needs, and Executive Chef Sean treated us absolutely wonderfully during our tasting and even during our reception event as well! We would recommend Northern Fork to everyone, they were an absolute joy with delicious options. (PS. The guests absolutely LOVED their food – even the picky eaters!)

o Recommended to us by our wedding planner, Northern Fork impressed my husband and I from the beginning. As we planned our wedding in Chicago from out of state, Northern Fork went ...

above and beyond tailoring the menu to our preferences and meeting our needs by sending a tasting to our hotel on a day they were not open for tastings. We were satisfied with the communication and appreciated suggestions provided. Nearly every guest at our wedding commented on not only how delicious the food was, but how professional and personable the catering staff were. They anticipated our needs and were always a step ahead. We could not recommend Northern Fork more!

Couldn't have asked for a better caterer for our wedding! Bethany was our event coordinator that we worked with throghout and she was seriously AMAZING to work with! We were a bit ...

undecided about what we wanted to serve at our wedding initially and they gave us so many great options to help us narrow it down. They made the entire process seamless and also helped us make decisions about postponing from Aug 2020 due to Covid and did not have any issues whatsoever with moving our date etc. They even arranged to drop off food at our home one evening so we could try a few more things that we weren't able to try during our first tasting! Bethany was there all day with us the day before our wedding to help us set up as well as the day of to make sure everything ran smoothly throughout. Everyone raved about the food at the wedding so book them! You will not be disappointed!
