Catering with Elegance started in 1959 as a grill and snack shop in Chicago. Soon, our founder Don Helmig grew the original restaurant into ten locations throughout Chicagoland, serving donuts and coffee to go as well as breakfast and lunch. In 1970, we started offering catering services.
From those humble beginnings, our family has built a thriving catering business that has served presidents, other dignitaries, and events of more than 4,000 people throughout the area.Today, Catering with Elegance plans and produces events at the Bloomingdale Golf Club in Bloomingdale, Medinah Shrine Center, in Addison, and at homes, businesses, and venues throughout the area.

Services
Bloomingdale Golf Club offers a beautiful oasis for any special occasion. Accommodating over 200 guests, our large banquet room can also be subdivided into three separate spaces, giving you flexibility you won't find anywhere else. The banquet room features large windows and an outdoor veranda overlooking our lush, impeccably maintained golf course-teeing up a outdoor cocktail reception with sweeping views.
To us, the very best weddings reflect the couple and families they celebrate. That's why we take the time to really customize every detail of your special day. We're experts in everything, from decor to dining, that makes a wedding more than the sum of its parts-and we're with you every step of the way, from today through "I do".
Bloomingdale Golf Club offers an elegant, private oasis for your retreat, reception, or holiday party. We'll collaborate with you to design an event that fits your company culture. We provide full audiovisual capabilities, including wi-fi, so we can easily accommodate your presentation needs. All food is freshly prepared on site, and we work with you to suit your needs and tastes.
Golf outings are one of our sweet spots. Whether yours is to entertain important customers, raise money for a charitable cause, or to thank employees for a job well done, let us help you host it. Bloomingdale Golf Club offers weekday and weekend outings. With your input, we'll prepare a delicious meal ready for when your group comes off the course.
From the moment you step into our hall's magnificent rotunda, you'll be engulfed in luxury. Located in Addison, the facility offers nearly 10,000 square feet of elegant, spacious dining with 22-foot ceilings and an outdoor veranda. The main banquet hall accommodates up to 500 guests. But variety is the spice of life: our facility also offers five smaller meeting rooms for intimate events, smaller parties, and breakout sessions.

I dealt with Jon while handling our catering needs for a baptism. He was extremely helpful and friendly. Arrived on time and the setup was executed perfectly. The food was excellent! Our guests raved about it for weeks. Will definitely work the them again!

We were SO impressed with the service and quality! We worked with Jon to set up catering for our outdoor party, he was so quick to respond and made everything very easy. Juan and Anna delivered and set up the food. We cannot speak highly enough of their service- they were on top of keeping the food replenished (we had several people say it was the best pulled pork they’ve ever had- everything we ordered was DELICIOUS) and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. Everyone we worked with was so kind and helpful- we can’t wait for the next party to use them again!

Recently hosted a small bridal shower and hired Catering with Elegance to cater our event. They were recommended by a good friend who has hired them for various events. Jon was amazing to work with and worked within our budget. The food was delicious. I highly recommend hiring them.

Catering with Elegance provided over 100 meals for our Thanksgiving catering event over three shifts during this difficult CoVid time. The turkey and vegetarian meals options were delicious!
The meals were individually packaged, served outside our facility from their trailer, for our associates to line up and receive safely.
We truly appreciated the extra steps that Jon and his team took for our Thanksgiving event! It was a success and safe for all. The employees were beyond grateful for the joint effort between Catering with Elegance and our company to bring joy during the holiday.

Catering With Elegance has bringing their food truck to Regency at Bowes Creek once a month. Before that they catered all of the special dinners we did. Catering With Elegance does an amazing job. Food is delicious, incredibly priced and imaginative. I am gluten free and Jon goes out of his way to make sure I can always eat the dinner I order.

I love the food. I even used to drive the 40 minutes to Bloomingdale Country Club curb service, before he came to Bowes Creek. His food is superb, well prepared, always hot, never dry, and plenty of it. In these days of Covid precautions , he is definitely the most proper - food is always handled by all wearing masks and gloves, always ready and placed in your car with a smile and thank you.
He also includes a little surprise thank you item - the last chicken chowder was out of this word. Hope to see it on his menu!

Catering with Elegance continues to provide scrumptious delectable food to all of his clients! My new favorite is his broasted chicken! We are thrilled that he now has a complete mobile kitchen which provides fresh mouthwatering food immediately. We are so lucky to have known Jon and his staff for three years! He and his staff are highly professional and a pleasure to work with in our many events! His menus are varied and food presentation is creative. Can't wait to see you again in two weeks!!!

Hosted a Corporate Holiday Employee Lunch at our facility that Catering with Elegance catered for us. Working with Jon was truly a pleasure. He experience assisted us greatly with choosing the perfect menu for our event. He also brought in samples for us to try. The entire experience was extremely stress-free and best of all there was no clean up! His staff took care of everything! Even putting the the left-overs away in our fridges for us. Upper management has told us to book them again for next years event, and to reach out to them for other events in the future.
