Planner's guide
PREMIER CATERING & EVENTS - VENDOR INSIGHTS
Best For: Corporate lunches and business meetings, wedding receptions, private parties and celebrations, fundraising galas and nonprofit events
What planners usually like:
- Direct communication with the catering team during standard business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM-5:00 PM) allows for detailed planning and quick response to questions
- Customizable menu options that can be tailored to specific dietary needs, guest counts, and event themes
- Local Chicago-based vendor eliminates long-distance coordination and allows for site visits to discuss logistics and setup requirements
Things to clarify before booking:
- Confirm minimum guest count requirements and whether pricing scales differently for smaller versus larger events
- Ask about included services versus add-on costs (linens, plates, utensils, bar service, staffing, setup/cleanup)
- Verify availability for your specific event date and time, especially if you need early morning setup or evening service beyond standard 5:00 PM closing time
- Request details on menu customization options, dietary accommodation capabilities, and any seasonal or ingredient restrictions
Common questions
How far in advance should I contact Premier Catering & Events to secure my event date?
Most Chicago catering vendors require 2-4 weeks notice for standard events, though larger events (100+ guests) benefit from 6-8 weeks advance booking. Contact them at +1 773-306-1910 ext. 364 early to check availability and discuss your specific timeline. Weekend events may have limited availability, so planning ahead is especially important.
What's typically included in catering packages, and what costs extra?
Standard catering packages usually include food preparation and service staff, but you'll want to confirm whether linens, table settings, rentals, bar service, and cleanup are included or billed separately. Premier Catering & Events uses a "contact for pricing" model, so discussing your specific needs during your consultation will give you a complete cost breakdown.
Can Premier Catering & Events accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?
Most professional catering services can handle common dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal), but it's essential to discuss specific allergies and restrictions when you call. Provide them with a detailed list of guest dietary requirements at least 2-3 weeks before your event so they can plan accordingly.
Do they offer service staff, or do I need to hire servers separately?
Catering companies in Chicago typically offer service staff as an add-on service. Ask whether Premier Catering & Events includes wait staff, bartenders, or hosts, and what the hourly rates are. This is a key cost factor, so clarify staffing options when discussing your package.
Are there limitations on event locations, or can they cater off-site events?
Most Chicago caterers can deliver to various venues throughout the city, but some charge mileage fees or have distance limits. Confirm whether they can serve your specific venue (restaurant, loft, backyard, park pavilion) and whether setup/breakdown times and costs differ by location.
