Catered By Design

Excellent Catering and More. I am the Sales and Marketing Coordinator for a small company who strives to make a big impact with a lasting positive impression and we could not have done so without Catered By Design's assistance. Planning an event is always complex, and even more so when the event is nearly 3,000 miles away. The attention to detail and ability to surpass our expectations was remarkable. Sam's assistance coordinating that distance in a space with no exact dimensions or square walls, that had never before hosted a catered dinner (103rd floor with glass ledges at the SkyDeck) was key to our event's success.

Sam went to the space, months in advance on multiple occasions to measure each wall, photograph every angle, and then meet several times before an event to hash out the final spacing, developing several floor plans, centerpieces and magnificent desert and bar displays, and also customized an already expansive menu selection. I sincerely appreciate their flexibility with scheduling, assistance coordinating with venue management, and the fantastic creative vision and ability to perfect every last detail in a newly opened space with special security measures (combined with the maneuvering of blindfolded guests through 103 maze-like floors!). Sam also provided some photography for the event which was a nice memento to pass along to our guests.

On top of these extras, the cuisine, the atmosphere and the service were superb. The entire staff at Catered by Design was friendly, prompt and helpful. I cannot exaggerate the last minute preparation and added details they were provided with, only to deliver a phenomenal experience for our guests. We want to provide an evening our guests will not forget and fortunately we received numerous compliments on the food, set up, design, venue, service, and cohesiveness, style and taste - most of which are thanks to CBD.

The overall flexibility, organization and talented staff really speak for themselves and it's no wonder we received a recommendation from the SkyDeck in the first place. If a potential customer is looking for elegance, a delicious, attractively prepared custom menu combined with over-the-top service, they should look no further. Unfortunately, we don't have any events scheduled in the Chicago area, but you can be assured that if we ever venture back we would be eager to work with Catered by Design again.…
