About Made in Chicago

Founded in 2013 by Greg Chanthalusy, Made Chicago  blends restaurant know‑how with a service‑first mindset. We show up on time, obsess over details, and make it easy for you to actually enjoy your event.
What began with a handful of drop‑off orders is now a full‑service operation serving the greater Chicagoland area—from Fortune 500 offices and hospitals to on‑set film crews and unforgettable weddings. Through it all, our promise stays the same: keep it elevated, keep it simple, and treat every order like it matters—because it does.

At Made-Chicago, we believe that wedding catering is more than a meal—it’s an experience. Our team of seasoned chefs, expert event planners, and professional service staff bring over a decade of culinary mastery to the table. Specializing in modern and fusion-inspired cuisine, we elevate every event with menus designed to delight and surprise

Do you offer tastings for weddings or large events?

Yes, by appointment. A tasting fee may apply and is often credited to your event when you book.

What areas do you serve?

We primarily cater the Chicagoland and Fox Valley region (e.g., Elgin, St. Charles, Geneva, Schaumburg, Naperville, and nearby suburbs). Travel beyond this area may be available; additional mileage or travel fees can apply.

How far in advance should I book?

Weddings and large events often book 6–12 months ahead. Corporate and social events typically book 3–8 weeks out, while smaller drop-offs need at least 7–10 days. If your date is sooner, ask—we’ll help if we have capacity.

Do you offer both full-service and drop-off catering?

Yes. Full-service includes planning support, professional staff, onsite setup, service, and end-of-event breakdown of our service areas. Drop-off is chef-prepared and delivered ready to enjoy with labeled disposables and simple setup.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?

Absolutely—common requests include vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free menus. Severe allergies are handled with care; however, our kitchen is not 100% allergen-free. Tell us what you need and we’ll propose safe, delicious options.

Do you provide bar services and equipment rentals?

Yes. We can staff professional bartenders and coordinate beer, wine, signature cocktails, or BYO support per venue rules. We also source bars, glassware, ice, linens, china, tables, chairs, and other event rentals as needed.

What types of events do you specialize in?

Weddings, corporate meetings and galas, holiday parties, open houses, fundraisers, showers, birthdays, memorials, and more. If you can gather people for it, we likely cater it.

How do I get a quote, and what information should I have ready?

Share your date, venue address, guest count, service style (full-service or drop-off), budget range, timing, and any dietary needs or theme. We’ll return a customized menu with an itemized proposal.

Is there a minimum order or guest count, and how does pricing work?

Minimums vary by date, distance, and service type. Pricing is typically per person and reflects the menu, staffing, rentals, and timeline. We tailor packages to your goals and will recommend smart adjustments to fit your budget.

What’s included with full-service catering?

A planning consult, a custom menu, professional staff, buffet/station or plated setup, chafers and serving utensils, basic disposables, and end-of-event breakdown of our service areas. China, linens, décor, and specialty rentals are available on request.

What are your deposit, payment, and cancellation terms?

A retainer is required to secure your date, with the remaining balance due before the event. Final guest count is typically due 7–10 days prior. Because we reserve staff and product for you, reductions or cancellations after deadlines may incur fees.

Can you work at my venue, office, or home, and what are the onsite requirements?

Yes. We can operate in traditional venues or pop-up environments. We’ll confirm power, water, load-in logistics, parking, and any permits or venue insurance certificates needed to execute smoothly.
