Common questions

Does LM Catering & Events handle events outside their downtown Chicago location?

LM Catering & Events is based at 800 S Michigan Ave and supports organizers throughout Chicago. Contact them at +1 312-344-1398 to confirm whether they provide catering for venues in your specific area, as delivery and service radius may vary based on location and event type.

What's included in their catering packages—just food, or do they provide service staff and equipment?

Their description indicates they offer "food and beverage solutions" with "event support," but the specific details about staffing, linens, serving equipment, and bar service aren't listed online. Call to discuss what's included in their standard packages versus what costs extra.

Can they accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies?

This is a critical question to ask directly when you call +1 312-344-1398. Discuss your guests' specific dietary needs, allergies, and preferences early so they can confirm capability and plan appropriate menu options.

What's their minimum guest count, and how does pricing scale for smaller versus larger events?

Since pricing is customized and contact-based, minimum guest counts and per-person rates will depend on your menu selections and service level. Reach out with your approximate headcount to understand pricing structure and whether they accommodate smaller gatherings.

Are they available for weekend events, or do they only work Monday through Friday?

LM Catering & Events operates Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, and is closed Saturday and Sunday. If you need catering for a weekend event, confirm whether they make exceptions for large or premium bookings, or whether they can recommend weekend-available alternatives.

How far in advance should I book, and what's their typical timeline for menu planning and customization?

Contact them during business hours to discuss their booking window and planning timeline. Many Chicago caterers require 2-4 weeks notice for custom menus, so clarify their advance booking requirements based on your event date.
