Catering Made Simple

I’m lucky to work for a wonderful medical device company and I cater a lot. I am so happy to have found a caterer that I could actually speak to live and plan an amazing lunch for my lunch and learns for work. Catering Made Simple was so easy to work with and everyone at the lunch said this is really really good and I have to say Catering Made Simple made sure that they took my preferences and made sure everything was top-notch. I would definitely use them again.

I know there's been some buzz about the CMS team in the local bridal industry lately, but I have to say that my husband's and my experience was fairly seamless. Our tasting was great, Cari entered all of our details thoroughly into their system, and our special menu requests were accommodated without issue. Whenever I had a question or needed anything, I could text Greg, and we'd usually be on the phone the same day. The staff was incredibly attentive on-site, keeping our guests happy and making sure we always had our favorite drinks in hand. The food was delicious -- we received multiple compliments from guests -- and the pricing was very reasonable for a big city. We honestly couldn't have asked for much more. Thank you, Greg and team, for helping make our special day so wonderful!

I have never had a better crab rangoon in my life than the ones made by Catering Made Simple. It was the first thing my now husband and I tried for our tasting and I knew from there that everything else would be fantastic. Every single guest who tried one, raved about them. The rest of the food was fantastic too. We also had Swedish meatballs and caprese skewers for our cocktail hour. For dinner, we had the pecan encrusted goat cheese salad, spinach and brie stuffed chicken, filet mignon, green bean casserole, and potatoes and it was all great. Because of the size of our wedding, we had to do a room flip and set 200 place settings in under an hour and the Catering Made Simple team got straight to business and got the place settings set and salads out in a beautiful fashion. I was nervous about the room flip but Cari assured us that their team does them all the time. As far as linens and place settings go, they had exactly what we had in mind. Their team seems to be very passionate about their food and their business. While sometimes the communication wasn’t as much as my stressed out, wedding-addled bride brain needed (or thought I needed), we were able to communicate all the deta

Cari, Leah, Greg and rest of Catering Made Simple team not only made my wedding day the most beautiful, seamless, and memorable day. They went above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I were accommodated the whole time. My guests have been RAVING about the quality of food, service and hospitality they received. My experience has been nothing short of excellent with CMS. Cari has been commutative since beginning of time, explained the process to me over and over without getting upset and calmed my nerves down when things got closer to our day. Her professionalism, responsiveness and compassion is beyond me. With all the negativity around her and the company both Cari and her team have been nothing short of incredible. Everything that was communicated to CMS was not only done the way I imagined but way way way better. Their attention to detail is something beyond what I could imagine. I can tell they genuinely care about their customers and will go above and beyond. If you want a wedding or any event where you want your guests to remember your day forever, Catering Made Simple will make a long and lasting impression not only with their delicious food, but great service,

If you are looking for a caterer in Chicago, look no further than Greg and his team at Catering Made Simple. I’ve trusted Greg with everything from professional meetings to one of the most important family events of my life, and he has exceeded expectations every single time. For business, he makes it easy. Whether it’s a quick breakfast meeting or a client lunch, he works with your budget and still delivers food that has people asking, “Who catered this?” His talent shows in the details, and I’ve even had friends in fine dining call his dishes “delicious” and “well executed.” For personal occasions, there is no one I would trust more. Greg helped make our family gathering not only beautiful but meaningful. He created one of my dad’s favorite recipes, elevating it into something that honored him perfectly. The food was outstanding, the presentation gorgeous, and his staff were warm, professional, and genuinely caring. They went above and beyond to make the night unforgettable—we didn’t want the evening to end. Greg can do it all: an intimate dinner at home, a business lunch that leaves an impression, or a white-glove wedding that feels like a dream. He’s incredibly talented, end
