If you like great food and want your guests to walk away remembering their meal, go with Limelight. They are a team of professionals who know food, but also aim to make your entire experience from tasting to event day plating fun, easy, and beautiful. We had our tasting at their headquarters in the Revel Motor Row space and had a blast trying all the chef’s creations and working with them to customize dishes based on our tastes. If there was something we wanted changed or didn’t see offered, they were always eager to work out how they could bring our vision to life. Our contact, Julia, was even a helpful resource on how much wine we should order even though we were required to purchase our wine through our venue. On top of all this, their pricing was the most competitive of any caterer we researched.
In addition to the food, the presentation of the room was made complete with their beautiful décor offerings. From linens to water goblets, Limelight will make your event shine.
Outdoor and indoor options, good atmosphere

We recently had the pleasure of working with Limelight for our wedding catering on September 2, and we couldn't be more delighted with the entire experience.From the moment we started planning, Limelight demonstrated a level of professionalism and attention to detail that immediately put us at ease. The team was not only responsive to our needs but also provided great recommendations that ultimately made our evening go perfectly smoothly.Regarding the food itself - we could NOT have been more impressed! The options from Limelight were nothing short of spectacular. Our guests still make comments about the selections, like the after-dinner Crunchwrap Supremes! The presentation was as impressive as the taste.The service could also not have been better. The Limelight staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the catering was seamlessly executed. They were attentive, friendly, and paid attention to detail. And ultimately, Julia and Julia made us feel cared for from start to finish. One of our favorite memories from our wedding day was when we had just finished the ceremony, and we went up to the bridal sweet, and Julia brought up a tasting plate with all of the hors'devours. It made our moment that much more special, when we realized that we were finally married and got to enjoy some much-needed food!Limelight not only met but exceeded our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend Limelight to anyone seeking top-notch catering services.
Worked with Limelight Chelsey Boggs, Affo and his team including René and everyone was wonderful! Super simple process to select delicious apps for a Halloween Party that we hosted. While at our home Affo, René and their team worked the crowd seamlessly and helped with general party support around the house. Would absolutely hire again, thank you guys for a great evening! I was too busy enjoying the party to get pictures, tells you I didn't need to micro manage any part of the process!
We used Limelight Catering for our wedding at the Chicago Illuminating Company and worked with Bryn Hoffman-- and it was the most wonderful experience.The food was absolutely spectacular and we both keep daydreaming about the beef carpaccio-parmesan crisp, watermelon feta-cube, and the entrees! I could eat the potato-kohlrabi gratin for every meal and never get sick of it-- it was that amazing.We loved the process of tasting the food and then getting to see it all come to life the day of our wedding.Thank you to Bryn, the chefs, servers, bartenders, and everyone else that helps make our wedding so incredibly special!
Amazing crew. Not your standard caterer, it was easy to see they were comfortable on set and happy to work around a fluid filming schedule.
I cannot say enough about how phenomenal this company is! AMAZING caterers, AMAZING food.
We loved working with Limelight/ Bryn last year for our wedding. Bryn was able to listen to exactly what we wanted and created the perfect menu for our guests. From the hors d'oeuvre to the main course, everything was fantastic!
We used Limelight Catering for our wedding at Chicago Illuminating Company and it was one of the best decisions we made! Bryn was amazing and easy to work with, and the food exceeded everyone’s expectations (a friend texted me afterwards that it was “start to finish, the best wedding food” he’s ever had). Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Limelight more highly. They were wonderful to work with from start to finish (even with having to reschedule our wedding date from 2020 to 2021), and all the food and drinks at our wedding were incredible. Every last thing was delicious and plated beautifully, and we had so many guests commenting on how much they enjoyed all of the food. They handled allergies and dietary restrictions without batting an eye and with no issues whatsoever. We absolutely loved working with them!
I worked with Bryn from Limelight on catering and event management for my wedding at the Bridgeport Art Center and everything was absolutely incredible! Hiring Limelight and working with Bryn was the best decision we made and our guests are still talking about the appetizers! Bryn is thoughtful, creative and organized, and made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. She's a pro!
Hire a lawyer BEFORE you hire Limelight Catering.Our long-planned event could not go forward due to the pandemic and associated government orders. Despite months of notice of that fact, Limelight refused to refund the 50% upfront deposit we paid them. At least four Revel Group clients (three wedding sponsors and a corporate event sponsor) so far have sued Limelight and/or their related companies (Revel Space, Revel Motor Row, Revel Fulton Market, Revel Décor, the Revel Group) for keeping tens of thousands of dollars of their deposits. Who knows how many others Limelight treated (or will treat) the same way?
My background is in catering, so I am admittedly very picky, but Allison and the team at Limelight provide superior customer service, efficient and effective communication, and above all, delicious food and first class service during our events. We have used them for multiple events for many years now, and they continue to exceed my expectations every time. Our guests always rave about how great the food is- they make me look good! For any party, big or small, I HIGHLY recommend Limelight Catering.
Wonderful company who knows the ins and outs. Food was amazing and could not be happier with service and preparation. Creative minds that were patient as I sent them a ridiculous amount of emails prior to the big day. Shoutout to Chelsey Boggs and Lexi Miller who made everything happen! You guys are the best :)
