What to know before you order

Weddings and tastings

Weddings are planned by one person from first call to the morning of the event. A 20% deposit reserves the date, and tastings are by appointment at our kitchen showroom in Yorkville. Buffet Menu 3 at $20.99 per person offers carved sirloin, chicken cordon bleu, cod, brisket and salmon. Staffed weddings need 14 days' notice at minimum, so call as soon as the date is set. Servers are $35 per hour with a four-hour minimum.

Rehearsal dinners and Italian dinners

For the night before, Italian catering gives a table of 30 plenty to share. Baked lasagna is $50 or $90, eggplant parmesan is $95 and garlic bread is $19.99 for 12 pieces. Add a classic Caesar salad tray at $49. Plates, napkins and silverware are $1.50 per person, and chafing dishes are $17 per hot dish. Tell us if anyone avoids meat: vegetarian baked lasagna is $40 or $70.

Cocktail hour trays

Hot trays set the tone while guests arrive. Bacon wrapped dates are $74 for 40 and gluten free, crabmeat stuffed mushrooms are $69, and antipasto kabobs are $74 for 50.

“My wife and I had Upper Crust for our wedding. They did an absolutely fantastic job! Extremely professional, great communication, fantastic food, great service, and they are very willing to do the little details if needed (flexible!). They made us feel less stressed, we could trust them, and we feel like we received great value for the price we paid. I would recommend this caterer to anyone!!”

“We had some catering done by Upper Crust for our son's high school graduation. We had used them previously for a wedding reception as well. The food is always excellent and there were so many people who said how good it was. I have always been impressed with this company. They are kind and courteous and will always answer all your questions. Great job!!!”

Questions

Catering in Frankfort, answered

More in the full FAQ, or call (630) 553-9533.

How soon should we book a wedding?
As soon as you have a date. Staffed events need 14 days at minimum, and weddings take a longer conversation. Call (630) 553-9533 and the person who quotes your wedding is also the person on the phone that morning.
Can we cancel a wedding and get a refund?
The deposit is never refunded. Other payments are refunded, less costs already incurred, if you cancel 30 or more days before a wedding. The deposit credits to your balance, and the written quote spells out every figure before you sign.
Will the driver reach us on time?
We plan the route the night before and the driver texts when five minutes out. Delivery to Frankfort is quoted by distance when you order. Tell us the venue contact and the exact time the food should land.
How much is catering delivery to Frankfort?
Delivery to Frankfort is a flat $70. That covers the drive (about 56 minutes from our Yorkville kitchen), set-up of a buffet, and the driver texting you when they are five minutes away. Pick-up at 109 E Hydraulic Ave, Yorkville is free.
How far ahead should I book for an event in Frankfort?
3 days for a drop-off order and 14 days for a staffed event is comfortable. Weddings and graduation weekends in May and June book months out; funeral luncheons we can often do with a day's notice.
Can you deliver food to my office?
Yes. Boxed lunches, hot buffets and breakfast arrive at the delivery time you choose. We deliver across Kendall, Kane, Will and DuPage counties.
Some guests have allergies or dietary restrictions. What do I do?
Tell us in advance. Our chefs prepare separate meals for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal or allergy-specific guests. There is a dietary notes box on every order.
Can you provide staff for my event?
Certainly. Our servers set up and maintain the buffet, clear tables, and break down and pack your leftovers. Staff is $35 per hour per server with a four-hour minimum, plus a 20% service charge shared with the whole team.
Is a deposit required?
Yes. Weddings take a 20% deposit of the estimated cost. Other events take 25%, paid online when you accept the quote. Deposits are non-refundable and are credited toward your balance, which is due seven days before the event.
