Real Events, Real Stories

"Gaylord catered our daughter's wedding for 350 guests at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. Every single guest came to us after saying the food was the best they'd ever tasted at a wedding. We are forever grateful."
The Patel Family
"Our annual Goldman Sachs holiday gala at Navy Pier — 400 people, Gaylord catering, flawless execution year after year. They understand scale, they understand quality, and they always exceed expectations."
Managing Director, Investment Banking
"I've attended events catered by the world's top restaurants. Gaylord's live tandoor station at our event stopped conversation — 200 people formed a queue and wouldn't leave. That's the power of great food."
Event Director, Chicago Botanic Gardens
