Request a ConsultationFrequently Asked Questions
How does Catering by Michaels approach wedding menus in Northbrook?
Every wedding menu starts with a consultation. We learn about your tastes, your guests, and your vision for the day. Then we build a menu from the ground up, including any dietary accommodations needed. Nothing is pulled from a standard template.
Do you work at wedding venues throughout Northbrook and the North Shore?
Yes. We've catered weddings at a wide range of venues across Northbrook, Glenview, Deerfield, Highland Park, and greater Chicago. We coordinate directly with venue staff and arrive well ahead of your guests to make sure everything is ready on time.
How early should we book our wedding caterer?
Wedding dates, especially in spring and fall, tend to book 9 to 12 months in advance. We recommend reaching out as soon as you've secured your venue, even if the full details aren't set yet. An early conversation helps lock in your date and gives us plenty of time to plan.
Can you handle both the ceremony reception and a rehearsal dinner?
Yes. Many couples book us for multiple events surrounding their wedding weekend. We can cater both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception, each with its own menu and setup.
What size weddings do you cater in Northbrook?
We cater weddings of all sizes, from smaller intimate receptions to large celebrations with hundreds of guests. Our team scales accordingly and maintains the same quality at every size event.
