Welcoming our next chapter.

When Cooking With Cuellar was first founded, the intention was never to become a full-service event catering company—but four years later, through passion, persistence, and the demand of our loyal clientele, that’s exactly what we’ve become.

Rebranding an already successful company is no small task. However, as both arms of the business evolved to serve different needs—Cooking With Cuellar focusing on intimate, chef-driven experiences and Elite Events Chicago emerging as a powerhouse in large-scale event catering—this distinction became not only necessary but strategic.

With great excitement and pride, we now introduce Elite Events Chicago—a dynamic, full-service catering company serving clients throughout the Chicagoland area and across the tri-state region. Elite Events offers comprehensive event solutions including customizable menus, curated rentals, and experienced service teams for weddings, corporate functions, social gatherings, and more.

We understand that planning a corporate or social event can feel overwhelming without the right support. That’s why our mission is simple: to bring your vision to life with clarity, creativity, and care. From the initial consultation to the final toast, our dedicated event planners are with you every step of the way, offering thoughtful, cost-effective guidance and ensuring flawless execution.

On your event day, you can take comfort in knowing that you’ve entrusted your celebration to a team of professionals who lead with precision—and serve with heart.
