Funeral and Memorial Catering in Gold Coast

Gmarket is excellent. They did a catering spread for a company event and it was beautiful as well as delicious. Jesse, Frank, and their wonderful team are lovely, communicative, and helpful! An excellent experience.

Event was amazing. We truly enjoyed food and the service. Everything was perfect. Food and presentation were so good, all our guests really enjoyed it. Both chefs Charlie and Carson were very helpful and accommodating. Truly recommend it and will contact again for any future events.

Amazing spread and great communication and service from start to finish. Would highly recommend for any event or occasion!

Great service and quality. Solid communication from Frank throughout the ordering and set up process. His team took care of everything and all we had to do was eat and drink!

Frank and team did a great job. The menu was curated to the needs of the event and the food and staff were amazing.

Great service and food. Frank was amazing to work with. The menu selections were perfect. Our guests were raving about the food. His staff who came to set up was professional and did a great job of setting up the food. Impressed all the way around!

We had the best experience with Gmarket personal chef! Our chef was awesome and truly made the experience memorable.

We used Gmarket for our 30-person vow renewal that was held at our home. Frank was wonderful to work with leading up to the event. We even had to reschedule at the last minute due to a serious illness, and Frank was beyond understanding and accommodating. When we were finally able to hold our event, the two chefs that prepared and served the food were unbelievably kind and personable. They answered questions from our interested guests and created the most gorgeous spread. They were very careful to keep meat and vegetarian items separate at my request. Everyone absolutely raved about the food. Even my super picky dad said that it was the best food he has had in Chicago! They left our kitchen sparkling. We will not hesitate to use Gmarket again in the future.

Our nonprofit hosted a small reception for program supporters, and it was a wonderful experience working with GMarket from start to finish! Frank was communicative, flexible, and helpful throughout the process and Chef Brandon and Charlie did an excellent job at the event. The food was delicious, the set-up looked great, and we will certainly be repeat customers. Highly recommend!

I usede Frank for my mother's 85th Birthday party. Frank was wonderful to work with and understood what I needed for a variety of taste. The day of the party the chef and his crew were fabulous to work with and the food was fantastic. They brought everything and cleaned up. Plenty of leftovers that they packaged. I would highly recommend Frank and his team.

We had a great experience with Gmarket Chef! This allowed us to have a wonderful, relaxing and memorable family dinner. Frank was very easy to work and plan with. The food was plentiful and most delicious. Chef Irene did an amazing job of setting up, preparing, serving a phenomenal dinner. The kitchen was spotless when she left. Highly recommended!

We used Gmarket for East holiday catering and it was delicious! Everything was very high quality and delicious. Highly recommend Gmarket and Frank for drop off catering needs!

We absolutely LOVE Gmarket! Amazing drop off catering with excellent customer service. Delicious, quality food is prepared with full reheating instructions. We tried brunch catering for Easter this year and were blown away by our tasty meal! Highly recommend Gmarket for all your catering needs!

My number 1 choice for holiday catering. Frank is incredibly friendly and everything I’ve tasted is incredibly high quality. I can not recommend him enough.

We used Frank and his team at Gmarket Chef for drop off catering this morning and were blown away! The food was delicious but the menu was also incredibly creative. Every item had a fun twist. My favorite dish was the Cinnamon Toast Crunch French toast.

We had a fabulous experience working with Frank and Irene! Frank was easy to talk with and plan the menu and Irene did a wonderful job preparing the meal! It was delicious and beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better time! Thank you!

Brandon and Frank did a fantastic job on a catered work party. Highly recommend and will use them again!

Frank has a great team of people. They really bring the luxury restaurant feel straight into our home. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a personal chef.

I had such an amazing experience with Chef Irene. Great customer service and an extremely delicious dinner.

Excellent food and customer service. Highly recommend. They always go above and beyond!

Professional personal chef with amazing food. The process for a small gathering was seamless from start to finish. Definitely a great option for Chicago catering with small bites.

I hired Chef Brandon Ott for a private, engagement dinner. Overall great experience w/Brandon. He was responsive and thoughtful when planning out the sample menu. Likewise, he was on time and organized he day of my engagement proposal. Most importantly, food was amazing. 10/10.

Frank listened carefully to my request and gave me an amazing spread within my budget. Chef Brandon was outstanding at the event keeping everything stocked and beautifully displayed. It exceeded my expectations. Bravo!

Frank was extremely responsive and worked with us to find a great menu for our event. We hosted dinner for 10 at our home. Brandon and Linda left the kitchen spotless and did a great job timing out the meal. The food was excellent! Highly recommend and would use again.

Let me start this by saying how incredible Frank and his team were throughout the entire process. I hired Frank for my husband's 40th birthday party (25+ people), and everything was absolutely exceptional. The planning was the easiest planning I have ever done for an event simply because of Frank's communication and professionalism throughout the process. After reading amazing reviews, I emailed him one night to start the process. Had a response the next morning, a call from him the next day and a menu for the entire party by the end of the week. I literally had nothing to think about after that. For someone who plans a number of parties, I was so pleased with this. On the day of the event, they showed up with EVERYTHING and took care of everything. I kept asking if I could help, and they would tell me they had it under control and i could now relax (which i was so appreciative of). The decorations/displays were GORGEOUS, the team was exceptional (so friendly, professional and efficient!), and I cannot explain how good the food was! I had SO many people (many that are food snobs) tell me that the food was the best they have ever had at a party - everyone was taking Frank's information when they left my house for future events. And our bartender, Eric, was simply amazing and services completely blown away! Now, the most impressive quality that I must share was how they left my house when they were wrapped up. Coming from a clean freak, this is so important to me (and honestly the reason why i booked them as i saw someone else compliment the same thing). My kitchen, dining room and every place they worked in were perfect when they left - as if nothing ever happened. They even came to get me to ask if I was ok with how it looked and if they needed to do anything further. This was exceptional. As a host in my home, this was the first time i was able to really enjoy myself with all of my guests and not have to worry about cleaning, making my guests food/drinks etc. I just cannot express how wonderful everything was (and cheaper than going to a restaurant with that many people!). THANK YOU FRANK AND TEAM so much!! I will be calling you for all future events!

We hired GMarket for a home holiday party (~40 people) and we were so pleased with their delicious food and friendly service. I’m so happy we had the food professionally prepared instead of trying to do it ourselves, and they brought everything ready to be warmed and served. They took care of all the plating and presented it so nicely. What set their food apart were all the garnishes, extra sauces, and great flavors that a home cook wouldn’t think of. It was restaurant quality. They provided extra servings and we had more than enough food. Thank you for taking such good care of us!

Gmarket made our son and future daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner truly spectacular and stress-free. We reached out to Chef Frank a few months in advance with some initial ideas, and within a week, the menu was perfectly planned. We opted for heavy appetizers and bartender services, which were a huge hit. Everything was homemade, beautifully presented, and delicious. Drew and the team arrived early (bringing ovens since our venue didn’t have any), handled all the prep, and left the space spotless afterward. Phil, our bartender, crafted three specialty drinks that we collaborated on, and his service kept the energy of the evening going. We highly recommend Gmarket and will absolutely use them again for our next event!.

Chef Drew and Chef Wes prepared and served an in-home four-course dinner at our friends’. They worked with our hosts to create the perfect menu, then executed it both beautifully and deliciously, and at the end of the night the kitchen was spotless. I can’t recommend them enough!

Highly highly recommend … working with chef Frank and the team ( chef Drew & chef Wes) . Posted a dinner party and the food was amazing. The service was also off the charts. I’m start to finish. This was a incredible process.

Frank and his team were amazing from beginning to end for my company’s offsite catering. Frank even went so far as to have one of his team arrive to my event early to help me prep non catering items when I found myself down helpers. The food was amazing and my team felt well taken care of. Would use him again and would highly recommend.

Frank and Minah made the process/communication easy…especially on the day of the event. All the skewers (steak, chicken and veggie) were delicious…and the salmon sliders were bomb!

We were absolutely blown away by the exceptional service and delicious food provided by Chef Frank and GMarketChef at our wedding! From the initial tasting to the final bite, they exceeded our expectations in every way. Their team was professional, friendly, and attentive, ensuring that our guests were well taken care of throughout the evening. The food was outstanding, with many of our guests raving about the flavors. We particularly appreciated their flexibility and willingness to accommodate our special requests which included glass plates and silverware and dietary restrictions. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence made our wedding reception truly unforgettable. We highly recommend GMarketChef to any couple looking for exceptional cuisine and service on their special day. Thank you for helping make our wedding dreams come true!

Amazing food! Great customer service

Great food and very professional team making sure everything goes as planned! Highly recommend.

Heard nothing but excellent comments about our Corporate Evening event on May 14th. Frank suggested an amazing menu, perfection! And the mini bites/appetizers food display on the dining room table was a definitely a nice surprise, I wasn't expecting that. Katy, our bartender, and Bobby, in in-house chef were great host!

Frank and team member Jessie put together an amazing and customized brunch menu for my 40th birthday brunch. Frank really used skills, knowledge and techniques to elevate brunch classics beyond what I thought would be available to me in a catered format! And all hot food was served hot, which isn't always easy when feeding a crowd. Of the other chefs I compared, Frank was the only person spot-on to understand what I was looking for, and he easily adjusted his menu for my dish preferences and my guests' dietary restrictions. The party of 11 guests were surprised at how good everything looked and tasted, and left very happy with a memorable experience that felt really reflective of me and my favorite foods. I would happily use Gmarket Chef again, and recommend them to others. Many left the party with ideas of how to use Frank's services at their own events in the future! And a tip - If you use Frank's team for brunch, definitely make sure you get the amazing apple fritter french toast - one of the best and most unique brunch items I've had in a long time!

Frank and Chef Kevin helped us with a casual wine tasting for friends. We did heavy passed appetizers. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. I reached out to Frank less than a week before the event and he was quick to respond and put a menu together. In addition, Chef Kevin was very professional, brought all of the things he needed (including serveware, plates, etc.) and cleaned up the entire kitchen before he left. They made things as easy as possible for us. Will definitely be using them for future events. All of our guests asked for their contact information!

We worked with Frank to set up dinner and drinks for our micro wedding in an Uptown airbnb (12 people total). Frank was great to work with in setting up the menu, accommodating dietary restrictions and working out the details of service. Chef Bobby made an incredible meal that checked all the boxes on our fancy comfort food requests. Kevin made great drinks and did an amazing job making sure everybody felt well taken care of. It was exactly the dinner experience we wanted for our wedding.

Frank & JT did an absolutely wonderful job preparing the menu and spread for our wedding celebration! Frank was responsive, professional and understanding with what we needed. Party guests raved about how good the food was. I highly recommend GMarket Chef for any catering needs.

We had a French themed dinner. Gmarket helped create a fabulous menu. It was delicious and so fun. They left the kitchen sparkling! Just a wonderful experience👍👍👍👍

Carson was great and all of us loved the food!! Everyone asked how I found you and no one could believe it was a google search. Now I understand all the 5 star reviews - It was great working with you: everything from communication to execution was a breeze.

Hosted a dinner party for 8 people and hired Frank! He was awesome in helping me create the perfect menu and my friends RAVED about how delicious the food was. I highly recommend hiring Frank for your next event

GMarket Chef catered our daughter’s first birthday with an outstanding Derby themed lunch. Everyone raved about the food and I am still dreaming of the pimento cheese tartlets they made! Very creative and worked around our tastes. Service, food and people were all outstanding. Can’t wait to use them again! Frank is the best private chef I’ve found in the city. Highly recommend!

We worked with Frank for our wedding and could not be happier with how the food turned out. It’s so rare to like food at a wedding and it was delicious. Frank worked with us to let us try the entrees ahead of time which sold us on working with him. He was super patient and accommodating when we updated our menu a few weeks out to add a vegan option and dessert. Our guests raved about the food!! I will definitely work with Frank again in the future!

We hired Chef Frank for my sister's bachelorette party. Not only was the service affordable (always a plus!), but the food was INCREDIBLE. Chef Frank patiently worked with me to put together a three course meal for several different dietary restrictions - going as far as revamping the menu SEVERAL times to address our requests. He also provided us with recommended wine pairings with each course. On the day of, he came on time, prepared everything to perfection and cleaned. It was above and beyond anything we expected. The girls still text each other about how they dream about the food that night. We will definitely use Chef Frank again - highly, highly recommend! FYI - we all ate the pasta course too quickly to even take a picture of it.

Frank and Phil were super easy to work with. Most professional. Would highly recommend their bartending and food service for any private event - large or small.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Bartender Chicago for my party, and I must say, they exceeded all expectations! From the moment I reached out to inquire about their services, they were actively engaged, which I will say is rare as other companies didn’t even get back to me! The mixer package they brought along was absolutely awesome! It catered to all tastes and preferences, ensuring everyone at the party could enjoy their favorite drinks. The bartenders were not only skilled but also friendly and approachable, engaging with our guests and creating a lively atmosphere throughout the event. Now, let's talk about the craft cocktails—wow! These mixologists are true artists. They took the time to understand our preferences and curated a menu of cocktails that perfectly complemented the theme of our party. Each drink was carefully crafted, and you could taste the attention to detail in every sip. Our guests were raving about the unique and delicious concoctions served all night long!
