Caterers near Northbrook

“My daughter had her wedding at this venue on 8/4/25. From the point of discussing the space, to reviewing the contract, to discussing options, to answering ALL of our questions, to the tasting, to the day of, our event coordinator (not sure that's her specific title) Amanda was nothing short of stellar. She was patient, thorough, and accommodating ensuring that my daughter was comfortable in a very important time of her life. Our event captain (again not sure of her title) Kylie also was amazing -- handling each of our requests quickly and pleasantly. These two ladies are an asset to your company & should be commended for their fantastic work ethic. All the event staff from the bartenders, to servers, to bus boys were pleasant and efficient. The food was delicious as well. Our event was amazing & memorable largely due to the associates we interacted with.“

“Our daycare recently switched food providers, and while I can’t speak on behalf of the previous company, we’ve definitely noticed a positive difference since the change.

Before, my child was often hungry and tired by pickup time. Now they come home talking about how much they loved lunch and have asked if they can have it again. We've also noticed that they seem to have more energy in the afternoons.

Thank you for caring about what you are feeding our children!“

“Highly recommend Helen, the food and cocktails were fantastic for the bottomless brunch. If you're thinking about booking then do it, it's great fun.“

“Spin Spun generously donated the cotton candy for a fundraiser we had last night. Not only were they incredible to donate to a school they have no children attending, their cotton candy was the best! They were the hit of the party!“

“From the very first email Erin was extremely receptive to our vision and ready with suggestions to help steer us down the correct path. Erin's attention to detail and hospitality was reiterated during our tasting, which sealed the deal for us as we felt special and welcome at Catered By Design while getting the opposite treatment at other caterers. On the day of our wedding reception we received numerous compliments on the food, as well as the selections available at the bar. The willingness to accommodate specific brands of alcohol was also extremely generous. I would absolutely recommend Catered By Design and Erin for any event.“

“We utilized Tasty Catering for our daughters first birthday party, and highly recommend them. From the very beginning they were responsive, collaborative and helpful answering any questions, and helped us build the perfect menu. Delivery and setup went perfectly and was no hassle for us. I look forward to using them again! And the food was a hit!“

“Hats off to Michelle and her entire group for the beautiful rehearsal dinner she helped me put together a few weeks ago. Besides her precise attention to detail, she put together the absolute best team to serve our guests.“

“We recently hosted a small gathering of 15 people and chose Spiced Caterers for Chinese cuisine—The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and perfect spice balance. Every dish—from the noodles and fried rice to the Manchurian and chili chicken—was a crowd favorite.
The portions were good.
Highly recommended for anyone planning a gathering and looking for top‑notch Chinese food! 🍜🔥👏“
