100/10 STARS!
Technically we did not "choose" Tasty Catering as they were the sole caterer for the venue we selected in Oak Brook, IL. HOWEVER, from the start we felt confident in...
moving forward with them because the venue (which we loved) spoke so highly of them, and they were 100% right. If given the chance to do it all over again and pick any caterer we still wanted, we would still go with Tasty.
Our event designer, Hannah M., was AMAZING from start to finish in the process. She was incredible at communicating, flexible and understanding to our needs (especially with us being out of state and therefore having some restrictions to when we could come in for our tasting.)
For someone who did not have a wedding planner, the streamlined processes and communication with Tasty almost made it feel like they were a caterer AND an event coordinator (which they absolutely didn't have to do but seems to be just part of their stellar services nature.) They truly went above and beyond.
As for the food and drink, we couldn't have been happier. We decided to go with a buffet option. We had the "good problem" during the tasting of enjoying all the options that were presented for passed appetizers, salads, entrees, and sides and having to decide what we'd end up going with. All of our guests were coming up to us after dinner and saying how incredible the food was and how it was the most efficient buffet experience they'd had at a wedding.
While they did have late night and dessert options that were cost effective, we ended up doing those with third party vendors due to sentimental value (Portillo's Chicago hot dogs for late night snack and the desserts my family always had growing up at family functions.) Even though the food came from external vendors, Tasty made sure they were plated and presented pristinely, once again going above and beyond!
Finally the staff - as I already mentioned, Hannah M., who we worked with from the day we signed the venue to the day before the event, was so kind and helpful. Every one from our day-of/on-site liaison to the chefs to the servers that were on-site for our wedding contributed significantly to the positive energy that I think any happy event like a wedding should have. They were all so kind, helpful, and FUN. The bar was set up right under the veranda alongside the band and they were super efficient and warm and welcoming to us and our guests.
While not having to choose a caterer ourselves means I didn't really put much effort into comparing/contrasting their rates compared to other local caterers, I truly think their costs were beyond reasonable, especially given the quality of the food and the "above and beyond" energy they provided from start to finish.
We are so grateful to everyone at Tasty Catering that made such an important and lasting contribution to our wedding day. We highly recommend them to anybody who is interested in having a blast on their wedding and resting assured that the caterer will fill their hearts and stomachs with so much goodness!
We absolutely loved working with Hannah and the entire Tasty Catering team. We could not have made a better choice for our wedding caterer. Tasty Catering was extremely professiona...
l and helpful during the planning process; they were always prompt with their responses over email and phone which made the planning process so much easier and less stressful. And of course, the food was delicious. We were so pleased with every choice we made from their menu. The main feedback we heard from our wedding guests was about how delicious the food was and how attentive and kind the waiting staff was to every one of our guests during our reception. We could never say enough positive things about every member of the waiting staff. We are especially thankful to Jessica, the lead server for our wedding. She took special care to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed during the entirety of our reception. She did everything we asked for and more. Her attention to detail and professionalism through the whole night made the entire experience perfect for not only my husband and I but also our families and all of our wedding guests.
We highly recommend Tasty Catering and will definitely use them again if we need a caterer in the future!

to best coordinate colors to create a beautiful space (both ceremony and reception). She also answered the million of phone call and emails I had related to both food and space. Always responding within 24 hours! The chef (s) put together a tasting prior to the wedding (plated dinner). ALL items tasted at the preview matched perfectly to the product during cocktail hour and reception. The staff was a joy to work with on wedding day! They were all kind, excited and happy to help in any way possible. The food and demeanor presented by the Tasty Catering is a 10 out of 10! A million thanks!

y-of service was exceptional, the staff was friendly, and all of our guests kept saying how delicious the food was! Everything felt really seamless. The only (minor) issue was that not all the menus at people's seats corresponded with their meal choice, but everyone was served the correct meal, so it really was just a cosmetic thing.
Honestly, we could not have asked for a better caterer for our big day. Hannah and the team did an exceptional job with every last detail. They made sure that every need was met an...

as also a very fun experience. Teresa was beyond sweet and managed everything incredibly well the day of our wedding - things went seamlessly. The bartenders were kind and quick -- no long lines backing up at the bar! One of our guests recently became gluten free and when one of the servers noticed during cocktail hour, she took it upon herself to make sure our guest's dinner meal had gluten free substitutions for her (even though they were not aware of the gluten free need ahead of time)! We appreciate all of the hard work Tasty Catering put in and we were truly impressed by the entire staff. If you are looking for good food and professional service, look no further.

question and led us in the right direction with those bacon wrapped dates! Well played!
As for the day of the reception Tere and her crew handled everything. They had every detail covered and the food was amazing! There was so much food! The TC crew was very attentive to guests and even brought a few special guests a special plate of chicken and waffles! They had the perfect flow of appetizers and allowed the guests to mix and mingle while enjoying the cocktail hour.
We chose a buffet style dinner and all of the guests had plenty to eat. The seafood scampi was a crowd pleaser! Everyone was fed quickly and we were even able to sneak out for a few sunset pics! And somehow in all the excitement TC staff was clearing tables without anyone noticing. They literally took care of everything and we could not have been happier!

THE SERVICE -- We worked with Hannah at Tasty Catering, who with patience and grace, helped us through a pandemic one year postponement. She was always quick to respond to emails, paid attention to details (coming from a Type A/spreadsheet type of person), and went out to her way for small details. We snuck away after our ceremony to the bridal suite were they had appetizers and a set of drinks waiting for us. When I happened to mention I liked a particular cocktail during our walk through, she made sure to have that available for me in the suite. Little things like that really did go a long way. We had quite a few adjustments to guest counts with COVID, and she never batted an eye. Guests commented on how great the service was during the meal as well. Tasty Catering helped with décor setup and take down, and not an item was out of place. We had an absolutely perfect wedding day, and we are confident that Tasty Catering and Hannah helped make that possible.
THE FOOD -- We also had some special dietary restrictions, including a gluten-free/vegan member, which they had no trouble accommodating. For our plated meal, we selected a chicken dish and stuffed portobello mushroom (GF/vegan), both of which we thoroughly enjoyed and guests expressed their equal enjoyment. The baby red potatoes and crab cakes in the passed appetizers are a must-have! They were kind enough to pass along the extras of a few no-shows to my parents at the end of the night so the food wouldn't go to waste.
OVERALL -- We give Tasty Catering 5/5 stars and recommend them without hesitation for wedding catering!
Food, staff and event planners were phenomenal!

She exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding caterer. Thank you for making our day so special.

like the only guests at a 5 star restaurant.

t in a special plug for Amanda who is absolutely wonderful- I had a lot of one off questions as I planned the few months up to the event, and she was always super responsive to even my smallest questions- she’s seriously the best.
We had a hard time selecting food based on our tasting because it was all soooo good, but the chicken and pasta we ultimately chose, as well as the coffee were stars of the show!
If you see this caterer on your venue’s preferred vendor list, start here on your search. You will not be disappointed.
