Wedding Catering
“We wanted a meal that was delicious and customizable and unlike most other wedding meals, and Cooking With Cuellar delivered! We had the most incredible build-your-own taco/nacho/fajita bar with Chris's signature Puerto Rican flair. Also, we do not live in Chicago, but they worked with our schedule to host us for tastings, often last minute. Not only that, but the entire staff is SO kind and gracious and a delight just to talk to! We'd pick them again and again.”

“The Cooking with Cuellar team catered my wedding in October 2022 and it was incredible! Every time we’ve talked to a guest about how they enjoyed the event, they all have endless compliments about the food. Not only did they serve an amazing meal, planning and working with them was so easy, helpful, and fun. They thought everything through so thoroughly and executed it all perfectly. We are so thankful for Chris, his team, and our delicious Italian meal!!!”

“Chef Cuellar and his entire team are incredible. From the first call, it was obvious that he and his team cared about making our wedding the magical day we had always dreamed about. Even though we lived in Philadelphia and needed to come to a tasting on the weekend, they made it work with their schedule and completely blew us away with the menu they prepared based on our first few meetings. Incredibly professional but also warm, inviting, and easy to talk to and express ourselves around. When it came to the big day, he and his team were ready to go despite a few last-minute curveballs. Our guests thought the food was amazing and continued talking about it well after the wedding ended. We cannot recommend enough Chef Cuellar and his team for weddings. They are candid about what they can do and what it might take to make it happen!”

WelcomE TO the future of Cooking With Cuellar
When we started this business it was never the idea to become a full service wedding caterer, but four years later here we are!
Rebranding an already very successful company is never easy but separating the two is necessary as both entities of the same business operate much differently.
The Cooking With Cuellar brand has been awarded some some notable mentions in the year of 2024. Zola naming us as an exceptional wedding vendor we have now been added to the Best of Zola two years in a row! In addition to that wonderful mention, Chef Christopher has been featured in Chicago Reader Magazine March 2024 as one of the Best Up and Coming Chefs here in Chicago. This has only solidified the imminent success of this company.
With that said, the CWC team is proud to present Elite Events Chicago. The trendiest and newest full service caterer taking clients in the entire tristate area. Offering a wide variety of menus, rentals, and service plans for any and all occasions.
