Chef by Request catered our 200+ person wedding very smoothly! Amanda was so great to work with! She is very kind and handled the logistics of catering for a large group seamlessly. The food was excellent, we received many compliments on how great it was! The servers were super friendly! We highly recommend Chef by Request.

We loved using Chef by Request for our wedding! The food was delicious and everyone could not stop talking about both the appetizers and main course. We loved the whipped red pepper mash so much! The staff was friendly and accommodating and even when I wasn't ready for the next app, the server came back to find me to make sure I got enough to eat during cocktail hour. We would absolutely recommend Chef By Request and Amanda for your next wedding or event!

Amanda and the Chef by Request team made our wedding so special! Amanda and I were in touch about my wedding for about a year and a half where she was very patient answering all my questions! They have a wide variety of different menu options and our guests LOVED the Chicago menu. For our guests who were vegan or had allergies they were very accommodating. The wedding itself went so smoothly and the catering staff asked my groom and me how everything was going throughout the night. They made sure we got to taste everything because they know how weddings go and put our cake in such a nice to go container. On our end everything was really perfect, I can’t say enough nice things about Chef by Request team!

Our experience with Chef by Request was nothing short of incredible! From start to finish, Amanda went above and beyond to make sure our wedding menu was everything we dreamed of – and more.
We wanted our food to feel personal, starting with carefully chosen hors d’oeuvres that showcased our favorite flavors. From there, we designed “his and hers” stations: a made-to-order pasta station and a roasted pig carving station (a total dream come true for my husband!). Along with a Caesar salad, fresh focaccia bread, and desserts like cannolis and crème brûlée, everything was absolutely delicious. Our guests are still raving that it was by far the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding!
One of the most special things about Chef by Request is the variety they offer. Their wide assortment of options made it easy to build a menu that truly reflected us as a couple – and having something as unique as a roasted pig available was astounding. Amanda was such a breath of fresh air to work with. She was kind, accommodating, and genuinely cared about helping us stay within our budget without ever making us feel pressured. She wasn’t a typical vendor trying to squeeze every penny – she was a partner who wanted to make our day amazing. Our tasting was so much fun, and we left feeling confident (and full!).
We couldn’t be more grateful for the delicious food, thoughtful service, and all the warmth Amanda brought to the experience. Highly, highly recommend!

We cannot say enough good things about Chef by Request! The food was amazing and all of our guests kept talking about how much they loved it. Amanda was incredible throughout the whole planning process. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She was so accommodating and even jumped in to help with things that weren’t catering related. I honestly don’t know how we would have gotten through the day without her. Chef by Request gave us the best experience and we’re so grateful!

We recently used Chef by Request for our children’s baptism luncheon and couldn’t be happier! The food was delicious, beautifully prepared, and everyone commented on how much they enjoyed it. Mark was extremely accommodating and made the luncheon run seamlessly. It truly took the stress out of the day so we could just enjoy the celebration with our family and friends. Highly recommend!

I used Chef by Request to cater a small business event. The food was fresh, elegant and delicious. They also had glasses and high tables that I was able to rent from them. They are extremely professional and easy to work with.

Our venue Wilder Mansion had Chef by Request as a preferred catering option and we are SO happy we went with them!! Amanda was communicative, helpful and kind throughout our entire planning process. She answered all of our questions very efficiently and thoroughly along with providing lots of valuable insight. We got so many compliments on the food at the wedding from the appetizers (shoutout the chicken quesadilla cones!!), to the plated dinner and the late night snacks. We also used their bar service which was wonderful as well! We highly recommend Amanda and her team!!!

I used Chef By Request for a Celebration of Life in Elmhurst. The bartenders were great and the food was heavily complimented by all the guests. Amanda was wonderful to work and very thorough- great communication while not being pushy. I look forward to using them again!
