3 Best Caterers in Aurora, IL

San’s Kitchen & Catering Co. completely exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, the communication was seamless—responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making the experience perfect. The food was on another level. Every single dish was insanely good—beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with so much care and talent. Guests are still talking about how amazing everything was. What really stood out was how far above and beyond they went to make the entire experience feel special and effortless. You can tell they truly care about their clients and take pride in what they do. I would recommend San’s Kitchen & Catering Co. a thousand times over and can’t wait to work with them again.

Chef LaSandra was an absolute gem to work with from start to finish. She perfectly captured my vision for my 35th birthday and executed it flawlessly, even traveling from Chicago to Atlanta! She kept me updated throughout the process, which gave me so much confidence. On the day of, she and her team were prompt, professional, and attentive. The setup was beautiful, the food was amazing, and everything was consistently replenished. My guests are still talking about it. I was initially nervous booking an out-of-state caterer, but she exceeded every expectation. I would absolutely work with her again, 10/10 recommend.

Chef Lasandra made our 40th Anniversary price dinner an incredible experience. She was friendly and engaging as she prepared each course- explaining each in detail. The food was fabulous and the presentation beautifully done. When we visit Chicago again, we will hire Chef Lasandra again! Scott & Chuck.

When we decided to host my large family to celebrate an early Thanksgiving weekend, I hired Chef by Request to prepare the meals. We were a group of 25. They prepared a casual dinner buffet on Friday night, a full traditional Thanksgiving meal on Saturday and a beautiful brunch for Sunday morning. The food was delicious, and beautifully presented by the staff. The chef and the servers were very professional and provided seamless service for all meals. They were very friendly and made sure all of us were well taken care of, and had plenty to eat and drink. My elderly parents said the food tasted as good as if we had made it ourselves. The best part was we did not have to do the cooking and clean up, and could enjoy each other's company. I will definitely hire Chef by Request for our next family weekend.

I used Chef By Request for a Celebration of Life in Elmhurst. The bartenders were great and the food was heavily complimented by all the guests. Amanda was wonderful to work and very thorough- great communication while not being pushy. I look forward to using them again.

Chef by Request made it a fabulous party event. Amanda was help select the perfect culinary cuisine and was unbelievably helpful. They helped set up the entire meal display. And the food will be remembered by all. Absolutely delicious! Great experience and caterer.
