Catered by Design
9204 Waukegan Rd, Morton Grove, Chicago 60053
Overview :
Our story began with a family passion for cooking and hospitality. In 2001, Sam Gray turned that passion into Catered By Design, building a catering business that serves Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. Today, we bring food, thoughtful presentation, and professional service together for weddings, corporate gatherings, fundraisers, birthdays, and other special occasions. We work closely with clients to understand their plans and create a catering experience that suits their guests, setting, and budget.
Our menus offer a range of choices for different occasions and service styles. Guests can enjoy plated dinners, family-style meals, buffets, interactive food stations, passed hors d’oeuvres, sweet tables, and seasonal specialties. We also provide breakfast catering, boxed lunches, cocktail reception menus, desserts, and beverage packages. For special events, we offer meat, seafood, vegetarian, and vegan selections, along with options for guests who have dietary needs.
For weddings and larger celebrations, our team helps develop custom menus and coordinate important event details. We can manage setup and breakdown, arrange service staff, and provide rental options for china, glassware, flatware, serving equipment, and linens. Corporate clients can choose full-service catering or convenient delivery for office meetings, seminars, networking events, and company celebrations.
We also work with venues throughout Chicagoland and continue to improve our sustainability practices through cooperation with vendors and partners. From an intimate gathering to a large gala, we focus on fresh ingredients, reliable service, and carefully planned food presentation. Our goal is to make event catering enjoyable for hosts and guests alike, with service designed around the occasion rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
