Inexpensive Wedding Catering in the Chicago Suburbs

Hey everyone...

Im trying to plan a wedding for late summer early fall of next year. My fiance and I are working on a bit of a budget, as right now I am out of work (was laid off 4 months ago). We are trying to see if we would save more money if we had a small outdoor wedding and had it catered rather then go the traditional wedding reception route.

We are in the southwest burbs and the wedding would more then likely be located in the Joliet/Shorewood area if we were to have it outdoors and cater it ourselves.

We are planning on having appox 75 people. Right now we could have a modest wedding reception at a few vendors for under $45-$50 per person per plate, so Im looking for catering that would be good, and yet be quite a bit less expensive then $45-50 per person (including liquor that would hopefully be part of a catering package, if not we would supply ourselves)

Does anyone have any catering suggestions?

Thanks!

Call GNR Winner Chuck's. They did a fantastic job catering the last LTH Christmas party, and I've been to other events that they have catered as well. Really good food and bang for the buck.

Chuck's is a top choice for inexpensive catering. They've done our 135 person block party 5 or 6 times to rave reviews.

FIG Catering (of LTH members figmolly and figjustin) did our graduation ceremonies for our budget restricted nonprofit organization. They were terrific to work with and very good about creating a lovely menu with our limited resources.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Chucks is right around my neighborhood but Ive never been (my fiance loves The Pitt on Roberts Rd so its hard to sway him)

Ill be looking into both.

Thanks again

Hi,

I purchased Chuck's Wagon dinner for an event for 40 people last year. Everyone enjoyed their dinner, then were given another plate to fill with food for home.
