Planner's guide
Best For: Corporate lunch meetings and office events; Wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners; Private parties and milestone celebrations; Community gatherings and fundraiser events
What planners usually like:
- Seven-day availability with extended hours (11 AM–7 PM) makes scheduling consultations and last-minute adjustments manageable without vendor coordination stress
- Local Chicago presence at a fixed location means easier site visits, tastings, and direct communication compared to vendors requiring travel time
- Customizable menu options allow flexibility to match different dietary needs, cultural preferences, and budget requirements across diverse guest lists
- Direct accessibility by phone (+1 773-879-0790) enables quick responses to planning questions without relying solely on email or online contact forms
Things to clarify before booking:
- Confirm minimum guest count requirements and whether pricing scales for smaller versus larger events, as catering costs vary significantly by volume
- Verify what's included in quoted prices (service staff, rentals, bar service, setup/cleanup) since "contact for pricing" requires detailed scope conversations
- Ask about menu limitations or specialty dietary accommodations (vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal) to ensure they can meet your guest requirements
- Establish delivery radius and whether they handle on-site setup, plating, and breakdown for your specific venue location in Chicago
Common questions
Does Signature Catering by Ovy offer tasting sessions before finalizing a menu?
This should be confirmed directly by calling +1 773-879-0790, as tasting sessions are common in Chicago's catering market but not always included in initial quotes. Request details about timing, cost (if any), and how many menu options they'll allow you to sample before your final selection.
What is the typical turnaround time for catering proposals after an initial consultation?
Most Chicago caterers provide proposals within 2-5 business days after discussing event details. Contact them directly to understand their specific timeline and whether they can accommodate rush requests if you're planning an event with a shorter lead time.
Are gratuity and service charges automatically added, or are they separate from the quoted price?
This varies by catering vendor and should be clarified upfront. Ask whether gratuity, service fees, and administrative charges are built into the per-person rate or added at the end, as this affects your final budget significantly.
Can Signature Catering by Ovy accommodate events at multiple venue types (restaurants, outdoor spaces, private homes)?
Verify their venue flexibility and any associated logistics costs. Some caterers charge delivery fees or require specific kitchen facilities at the venue, so confirm whether your chosen location is accessible and if setup restrictions exist.
What happens if I need to adjust guest count close to my event date?
Ask about their guest count modification policy and timeline. Most caterers require final headcount confirmation 7-14 days prior, with potential fees for increases after that deadline or refund limitations for decreases.
Does the catering package include service staff, or do I need to hire separate servers?
Clarify staffing details—whether quoted prices cover servers/bartenders, if staffing is optional, and what the per-hour cost is. This directly impacts your total event budget and operational coordination needs.
