Cutting Edge Catering & Events - Shorewood, Illinois

I had to write a review for an amazing company! We had our wedding at the Barber and Oberwortmann Horticultural Center and the entire process was easy!! Chad was my main contact and he was awesome. We were in contact for a year and as all Brides know, planning a wedding is stressful but once the venue was booked Chad helped me with everything and booking and planning every detail was so easy with him. He was extremely organized and knew every detail about the venue. He answered every email very fast and went over everything in-depth! The horticultural center is beautiful inside and I highly recommend booking your event there! The food tasting was incredible, I feel there is a stamina behind ‘wedding food’ but with cutting edge catering the food was AMAZING!!! the chicken Napa valley was so good people were asking if they could buy it any day and the sides were all so good, I wish I could eat it all over again!!! I would recommend this company to anyone and everyone!! Kim & Jenny were two of our servers that night and I can rave about them all day, absolutely amazing and helped me with every single thing I needed! I will FOR SURE be using them again for my next event and you must use them for your wedding!!! CHEERS to a job WELL DONE Cutting Edge, I am one happy bride 👰🏻‍♀️❤️

I attached photos from our Taste test and the food and organization there was even above and beyond!!!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say from start to finish! Chad was great to work with - professional, friendly and calming throughout the whole process. The food was delicious, and the staff was so friendly and accommodating throughout the wedding. They frequently checked in on my husband and I to see if we needed anything from water to food to drinks as we were too busy to do those things ourselves. Very thoughtful! I would use them again a hundred times over! Thank you!

Food was good but my guests said the kitchen staff was rude. My guests informed me that we ran out of appetizers after only 10 minutes of hall way event time. They asked the staff for more. The staff said they didn't have any. I dont know how we ran out when we paid for 87 people and only 45 showed up. The venue they partner with was less than satisfactory (bird haven green house). Kim was a 10/10 she was trying her best but we were not happy. The food was good but we paid a lot of money and it was not worth it.

We hired Cutting Edge catering to cater our wedding in April of 2019. My husband and I were slightly cautious after reading a few negative reviews, but we have been in the 'people-pleasing' business before and know that there will always be people who are unhappy with service. After meeting Chad and having our tasting, we were happy to choose Cutting Edge for our catering. Not only did Cutting Edge have a great variety of food options that were all delicious, they also went above and beyond helping with many of the small details for us and they assisted with setup and tear down. They helped eliminate all the extra worry of how things were going to flow and get organized in time for the reception to begin. Chad was very patient with us as we navigated our way around planning a wedding. He was very quick and to the point at responding to our e-mails. His invoices were very informative, as they were broken down for each separate cost. The staff that we had at our wedding were also very helpful and friendly! We would highly recommend!

Chad put together a great event. The food was delicious and I did not have to worry about any of the setup. The catering team took care of all the decorations I brought. Everything looked beautiful. I would recommend using CEC for any events. My friend loved the food so much she used them for her granddaughter's bridal shower.

From beginning to end, Cutting Edge Catering did a great job with my wedding. We held the reception at the Horticultural Center and having a vendor that managed the hall and catering took a lot of the organizational stress off my plate. The food was very good, and the bartender was great. We only had one, as our head count came in just under the requirement for two bartenders but he kept the line for drinks short and I heard only good things about him!

Used them for my daughters baptism and the staff was so friendly the day of the event. There were some hiccups like no high chair for my daughter and an issue with an appetizer we ordered but the staff was very accommodating. Chad was also great all the way up to the event I feel like I was in communication with him and constantly asking things if him and it was all worth every penny we spent! I would definitely use them again!

Chad was very easy to work with and very accommodating for our 2 day event. The food arrived on time, hot and delicious on both days! Every person who ate the box lunch or the catered buffet meal had nothing but good things to say about the quality of the food and finished their meal stuffed and happy. We will definitely be using their service for future events
