Great catering brings food, hospitality, and careful planning together to create an enjoyable event. At Blue Plate, we have served Chicago since 1983, when founder Jim Horan began the business by cooking for friends’ parties. Today, our team supports weddings, corporate functions, social gatherings, workplace dining programs, and delivery orders throughout the Chicago area.
For weddings and special occasions, we work with clients, planners, and venues to create custom menus and service plans. We offer different dining styles, including plated dinners, buffets, food stations, and cocktail receptions. We also help coordinate event details and connect clients with vendors for décor, florals, audiovisual services, entertainment, and valet support. In addition, our venue partnerships help clients explore suitable spaces for their celebrations.
Businesses can choose workplace dining programs, office meals, meeting catering, and ongoing food service tailored to their teams. For delivery orders, our menu includes breakfast buffets, sandwiches, salads, hot buffets, party trays, savory bites, snacks, sweets, and beverages. We also provide vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options to accommodate different dietary needs.
Our culinary team prepares food from scratch and works with seasonal ingredients and local suppliers. We also support environmentally conscious catering through sourcing practices, recycling, and composting. At Larkin Hall in Chicago’s Fulton Market, our hospitality-focused home includes a production kitchen, tasting rooms, private dining rooms, and event spaces. Whether you are planning a wedding, gala, corporate celebration, or office breakfast, we shape the food and service around your event.
