Cutting Edge Banquets & Catering

My company gets this place to bring food in all the time. Breakfast gets people sick. Chicken is under cooked and set someone to the hospital! Stay far away from them. Don’t say I didn’t warn you

The other reviews I have read basically have the same premise as mine. Below average customer service but good food.
My husband and I were just married this past June. We decided to go with CEC because the would work with us incase my husbands return date from deployment got moved. My uncle is also friends with the company’s owner so we figured what could go wrong.
I met with Chad a few times. Nice guy. Sort of. Kept me updated on what was going on.
I sent over instructions to him the day before with pictures. I was there to help set up too just incase, but everything was fine. I had to move some chairs around, but that wasn’t a big deal.
The food was delicious. My husband loved it. Bar was nice. Service was decent.
My main complaint is that I never got any of the left over cake. We spent over $ 300+ dollars of the cake and NEVER GOT THE REST. We had enough for our guests to have more than two slices and we never saw any. This is very upsetting to me because of how expensive the cake was. My family was looking forward to the left overs. And I even had the largest layer made special for my husband.
We won’t be using CEC for another event because of this.

Cutting Edge Catering (CEC) is essentially a great deal for what you get. My wife and I were married at the Barber & Oberwortmann Horitcultural Center on May 19^th. Their service on the night of the wedding was simply outstanding and all of the caterers were fantastic. In fact, with help from Marcia and Kevin who work for the Birdhaven Greenhouse, everything on the day of the wedding was wonderful. Marcia was especially accommodating and Amanda, who was in charge of the catering at the reception for CEC, was very helpful. Everyone seemed to bend over backwards to help out and it was such a relief.
Our only issue — and it seems that most issues that others have — is with the manager of CEC… Chad. He was very nice when we initially met him and very polite in our follow up meeting with him. However, when working out details, do not expect Chad to compromise with you. It’s good customer service to meet your clients halfway. But Chad figures that for some reason he doesn’t need to compromise.
Rudeness from Chad bumps our review down one whole star, unfortunately, giving CEC 4 stars out of 5.

Michele is awesome! My fiancé and our families recently went to our taste testing, and everything was awesome! Michele has been so helpful, these people are great!

Have used these guys twice and would continue to do so into the future. Quality of the food is excellent and the communication is also very good. Had them do a pigroast once and then they provided the food for a housewarming party for a fraction of the cost of some of the in-​town caterers. They will deliver into the city of Chicago for a very reasonable fee. Despite other reviews, you CANNOT MISS with these guys.

The food at my wedding was great so I want to update my rating from a 1 to a 3. (No thanks to Chad.)
Chad is rude. They are the caterers for my wedding venue and he refuses to answer my questions. He keeps referring me to Michelle who never answers my calls or emails. Haven’t tried their food yet, so I’ll re-​post when I do, but for now, these people are jerks!
