Chef-Driven Catering & Private Dining Experiences in Chicago

Because every event we design is fully customized, pricing varies based on guest count, service style, menu complexity, staffing, and equipment needs. Below are general starting ranges to help guide expectations:

Small Bites & Cocktail-Style Events
Typically range from $25–$75 per guest depending on quantity, variety, and whether small bites are replacing a full meal.

Buffet Catering
Generally falls within $25–$75 per guest based on menu selections and whether the event is drop-off or requires on-site finishing and staffing.

Family-Style Seated Dinners
Most often range from $50–$150 per guest, reflecting on-site preparation, coordination, and service.

Plated Multi-Course Dinners
Our most elevated dining experience, typically ranging from $100–$250 per guest depending on menu design and staffing level.

Bartending Services
Professional bartenders typically range from $50–$100 per hour. Servers are generally $45 per hour. Staffing levels depend on guest count and service style.

Please note: These are general guidelines and do not include sales tax, gratuity, rentals, or specialty equipment. Larger guest counts often allow for more efficient pricing, and bundled services (such as catering and bartending together) may provide additional value.
