LM Catering catered our wedding and it was AMAZING. We got SO many compliments from a ton of our guests about how incredible the food was, and we agreed. Our tasting was such a great experience and that showed through to our wedding day. Delicious food and fantastic experience.
We had the best experience working with Tania at LM Catering and Lacuna Lofts for our wedding. Tania was an incredible venue contact, going above and beyond to keep everything organized. The food from LM Catering was absolutely exceptional; our guests continue to rave about how delicious and unique the dishes were. Our overall experience with LM Catering and Lacuna Lofts was absolutely perfect. Highly recommend!
We had our wedding at Lacuna Lofts, which meant we had the absolute pleasure of having LM Catering as our wedding caterer. We had so many friends and family members compliment the dinner and dessert table, saying that this was “actually delicious wedding food”! We had a number of dietary restrictions, and LM’s vast menu and options made it so easy to accommodate everyone’s needs while also making everything taste DELICIOUS! Everything was presented beautifully, and we particularly loved that the sides were served family-style, which we hadn’t seen at many weddings before. We made some changes to our picks numerous times, and Tania was so accommodating in making any and all changes we requested! Our dessert table and yummy pretzel late night snacks were huge hits with our guests, and being able to get everything – dinner, dessert, and snacks – from one vendor was so seamless. We would highly recommend LM to anyone looking for a tasty, fun wedding caterer!
Finding a caterer was probably the biggest challenge during the planning of our wedding. We needed someone who had substantial vegetarian options (my now-husband is vegetarian and has been to too many weddings where he was served steamed rice and roasted vegetables), someone who offered memorable or unusual dishes and appetizers (we're big foodies)... not to mention someone who did it WELL, at a price we could fit into our budget.Enter LM Catering & Events. We first encountered them during our venue search, and while we didn't wind up choosing one of their (gorgeous, just not "us") locations, their catering menu intrigued us. We were happy to discover that they will serve in open-catering venues, and even happier when we arrived to our tasting and Gabi walked us through our menu choices. Everything was so delicious, it was tough to narrow our picks!Throughout the process, Gabi was helpful and answered any questions we had (and there were many). On the day, the team delivered not only great food, but a great experience for our guests. We're just sad their related restaurant group doesn't serve precisely the same dishes... but if we could have them anytime, maybe the reception would've been less special.
From the very beginning of our collaboration, LM's team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to ensuring the success of my organization's event. My main contact was Gabi and I am truly thankful for her hard work and attention to detail. Their expertise in handling the catering logistics, from menu selection to execution, truly impressed us.The offerings were not only tasty but also beautifully presented, adding a touch of elegance to the occasion. Our guests were delighted by the appetizers, and the macaroons with personalized ribbons and tags were an absolute hit. My team and I would also like to extend our gratitude to Ricardo for his exceptional effort and outstanding communication on the day of the event. His attentive approach and hard work significantly contributed to the smooth execution of the event, and his professionalism was evident throughout.LM's responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our specific requests made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. We also appreciate their flexibility in coordinating a walk-through of the venue, which helped us feel confident in the seamless flow of the event.My team and our guests were truly impressed by the exceptional quality of the catering, and we received numerous compliments on the food and presentation. LM's contribution played a significant role in making our event memorable and enjoyable for everyone in attendance.It was a pleasure working with LM Catering & Events, and we wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone seeking top-notch catering for their special (and/or corporate) occasions.We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you again in the future! (I wish I had more pictures but was too busy enjoying myself!)
Lesley R. and Mary K. of LM Catering & Events were critical in making our wedding the perfect day. From the very first meeting at the venue tour, we knew we were in good hands. They were flexible and took our concerns and requests seriously. Lesley and Mary worked seamlessly with our day-of planner and vendors. On the day of our wedding, the LM Staff was professional and courteous. Not to mention the food was incredible!
When leaving venue, hotel access where guests entered venue from was locked off to the hotel. The guard told guests to leave to go outside in unclean sidewalks in freezing cold for guests who were staying in the hotel who went to the wedding, women wearing high heels , men and children in slippery dress shoes, without any coats dressed in wedding formal attire. The pavement was icy and full of snow, high winds and frigid cold. We were told to take my 88 yr old mother out onto the icy into the frigid cold to walk around building and come back into hotel through the hotel entrance around the corner,approx 100ft away. The gates were locked off to hotel access back to where we all entered at. We stayed at this hotel because the wedding was at the connected building. No one ever said this would happen that guests would be locked off from their hotel elevator. We had to escalate to a manager as the guard refused a senior guest and children a simple consideration without a manager escalating the complaint. He only had to unlock the gate at the bar that was closed early to walk the folks to the hotel access 40ft away so they could get back to their rooms. Unforgivable inconsideration , he don't give thought to the chance of a lawsuit of mulitiple guest injuries the could have happened do to icy/ snowed uncleared walkways. I wish I'd taken pictures of the outside walkways on the way back to our room. Guard seemed to be put out that he had to open gate and see guests through the indoor access. One could look through to our access to our elevators. The wedding facility was gorgeous, the food was delicious, bathrooms were lovely, servers were wonderful. My only complaint was the above comment, that should have never happened.
We used them for the in-house catering at lacuna lofts. Food was phenomenal, and all the guests raved about it. The appetizers were great even the tasting was above our expectations. Gabi is super helpful and a professional at what she does.
In planning a wedding, you’re going to have a ton of questions, be working with a ton of vendors, and on top of all that—trying to make the best day you can think. We fell in love with the Lacuna Lofts as a venue for our reception, but we didn’t realize how amazing the staff of LM Events would be! We seriously could not have done this wedding at all without Mary. She is truly an all star and was always prompt and on it with the zillion questions we had over two years. We felt so dang lucky to get to work with her, and she’s someone that will take care of you big time. Plus, their food is fantastic—our tasting was so fun. This is a team you want to have as a part of your wedding day.
I worked with LM Catering & Events for one of my weddings, and it was such a great experience! Paulette was attentive, easy to work with and very professional. Can't wait to work together again!

Great staff, great food. Would recommend 100x
We worked with LM Catering for our wedding at Lacuna Lofts and they were amazing! Their service and professionalism were more than we could have ever asked for. Special shout out to Georgie, Mary and Courtenay for helping us along the way, always being responsive and professional and making our wedding day feel extra special.
I have been working with LM Catering & Events for several years now. I can't speak highly enough of my experience with them. From the very first meeting, to the end of my events- they are nothing but exceptional. The food is consistently delicious and the service is top notch. I have been hosting high school proms using LM Catering, and I know how difficult it is to please both the teenage palate and adult chaperone palate but LM Catering delivers! I also appreciate the flexibility with planning an event. Things constantly change on our end, and LM understands and if always willing to work with me. I appreciate everyone at LM so much and I have so much peace of mind when I know LM Catering is handling my event.
I worked with LM Catering for a two day event for Know Your Chicago. Each day involved serving one hundred people. When my committee members and I went for a tasting, we had a great deal of difficulty choosing what to serve. That was because everything was absolutely delicious. We were so impressed that we asked if they could cater a symposium that would be attended by 500 people. Although that had to be cancelled because of the pandemic, we look forward to the opportunity to work with LM again.
We went with City View Loft for our venue, so we defaulted to LM Catering for our food. It was delicious! Working with Jamie was great; she was super helpful and flexible about creating a menu we were excited about. The staff and service the night of the wedding was great, as well!
