Catering A Beautiful Wedding with Plant-Based Options
Earlier this summer, we had the pleasure of catering a stunning wedding for a couple who wanted their big day to reflect their shared values. They have been visiting our Chicago location for years and wanted to include food from our menu because of our commitment to sustainability and cruelty-free living.
For the big day, they wanted to provide a diverse menu to appeal to all their attendees both vegan and non-vegan. When we discuss their request, we asked about the number of guests, if any other food would be provided, and allergy concerns. Not only did we customized each portion size to avoid food waste but we provided food allergen charts for their guests. Our catering for this event featured dishes like satay skewers, kung pao ding, mush love, spicy Korean BBQ, and golden yuba fried rice.
“My venue was an hour away & the team arrived on time & set everything up. The amount of food was unreal & my guests LOVED IT! Mostly non-vegans, folks obsessed over the satay skewers, kung pao ding & baked tiramisu. My personal favorites were the mush love, spicy Korean BBQ & golden yuba fried rice! The team at Alice went over the top by providing a detailed allergen chart for my guests which was just above & beyond anything we could have expected.” _Kat
The couple and the wedding guests loved the menu and we were happy to hear that our signature vegan baked Tiramisu made a memorable impression at the dessert table.

1. Is there a minimum number of guests for catering?
There is no minimum order. Whether you’re planning an office event for eight or a full wedding reception, we’re happy to work with you.
2. How far in advance do I need to place an order?
We use many fresh ingredients and all of our menu is made in-house. Because of this, receiving catering requests many days in advance is appreciated.
For small orders, please give us at least 48 hours notice. Preferably 3-5 days.
For large orders, we ask for at least 7 days notice to ensure we prepare everything with the attention it deserves. Preferably 7-10 days.
3. Do you offer menu-tasting appointments?
Not at the moment but we’re always happy to walk you through our menu options and help you customize your order.
4. How is the food delivered?
For deliveries, we have a dedicated driver who ensures your food arrives safely and on time.
For pick ups, a time needs to be selected during business hours.
5. Can you accommodate a catering order outside of our service hours?
Not at this moment. Pick up or delivery is at least 30 minutes after opening hour except Tuesdays. We do not offer catering services on Tuesdays as we are regularly closed.
6. How long will the food stay warm? Can it be reheated?
We secure the food in containers that retain heat but the time between delivery and when the food is served, can affect temperature. For best results, we recommend using food warmers at your venue. (We don’t provide warming equipment.)
7. Do you offer two or three-tier cakes?
We currently do not offer tiered cakes. We offer round cakes and sheet cakes (half or full sheets) in a variety of flavors. If you’re interested in a flavor not listed in the catering page but that we have offered in the past, let us know!
