D'absolute Catering - side

We used D'Absolute for our wedding, and we had such a great experience. They were very easy to work with in the lead up to the wedding and very flexible and accommodating with our requests. On the day of, they went out of their way to make sure that guests were taken care of. There was a lot of people walking around serving drinks and apps which kept the bar line to a minimum all night. In addition, they went out to go get more of the signature drink to ensure we did not run out. Typically, wedding food can be pretty average, but that certainly was not the case. I have been to weddings that have used D'Absolute and was impressed, so it was a no brainer to use them for our wedding. Mena was great and made sure the wedding party was taken care of during dinner. I would recommend D'Absolute to anyone in Chicago looking for a catering service. Chris and his team do a great job!

We had a great experience with D’Absolute for our wedding. The food was delicious, with so many options and variety. Everyone raved about the appetizers in specific, but we got great reviews from guests on all the food too. Their staff is wonderful and helpful, Chris Mena and every server and bartender was friendly. One of their team members even packed up a to go container with all of the late night food and our sweets for me and my husband to take home since he knew we were too busy to eat any of it in the moment. We appreciated this teams expertise in making sure everyone had food drink and fun!

My wife and I recently hired D'Absolute to cater our wedding and we had such an amazing experience from start to finish. Chris played a pivotal role in ensuring our wedding planning and the actual day were filled with ease and was so accommodating with all of our questions and requests throughout the whole experience! Chris met with us multiple times to ensure we were satisfied with all of our options and our guests absolutely raved about how good all of the food was. D’Absolute's offerings are truly exceptional—marked by superior quality, generous portions, and a delightful array of choices. It is sometimes tough to expect such high quality food at a wedding but the appetizers, salads, entrees and even the late night snacks were incredible. The bar line was always extremely short and the staff was always ready to help my wife and I if there was anything we needed even going as far as helping us track down other vendors if something was not going as planned. Can't recommend enough!

The amount of people who said our food was the best they've ever had at a wedding is enough to hire and book this place! We had a 240+ person wedding, who ate their hearts out and loved every minute of it! Chris (owner) worked with us on customizing a menu that met our needs of an open buffet style, with 3 different types of stations: American, Spanish Tapas, and Asian. All done perfectly. In addition, we had wonderful appetizers passed around during cocktail hour that were delicious and easy to eat while standing. AND passed around late night snacks... Have you ever had a mini cheese burger passed right to you while dancing? It's heaven! D'Absolute also put together amazing signature drinks too. They were very accommodating even at the tasting! We had great portions and Chris made it a fun experience for our family too! It really set the stage for what to expect, which I loved. They've clearly done this before and you can tell. Highly, highly recommend!!

D'Absolute was fabulous and their suggestions in planning the event were invaluable! They were present throughout the entire evening to ensure all of our specific requests were honored. They had fabulous ideas to help ensure the transition from ceremony to cocktail hour was seamless. The food food was amazing, service was excellent and I would recommend them to anyone for their special event.
