I had my wedding at cafe la cave a month ago and I am so happy I did. Randy and his crew did an amazing job! Randy wants only the best for his clients. He does things a little different than what you will see at other weddings that you may question at first but let me tell you.. the man KNOWS what he is talking about. Not only did he have my best interest at heart, he has so much passion for his job. He loves what he does and it shows. He made me feel so at ease the entire process and I had so much fun while work with him. He’s one of those people that make ya feel at home. The day of can be stressful but my husband and I had an absolute blast. Randy and his crew took care of everything. I did not worry about one thing and I knew going in I wouldn’t have to because they’re SO on top of everything. We actually got to eat our dinner... which from what I hear barely ever happens. So that’s pretty amazing. They take care of everything from The second you walk in to the second you l... Read moreeave. The food is amazing by the way.. they hosted 275 guests for us and a lot of times the food can be ehhh when there’s that many people but we received SO many compliments. I can go on and on about Cafe La Cave and Randy.. all I can say is you’re a fool if you don’t book with them for your wedding. The day was an absolute fairytale !

Great place to host a reception for a large wedding. We invited over 350 people and they would have been able to accommodate 325. We ended up with 210, but we were still over the minimum. Food and service were outstanding. Event staff is great to work with, and Randy is awesome at his job.

We had my daughter's bridal shower at Cafe la Cave back in April. It took me awhile to write this review, since we have been so busy with the wedding preparations, but I didn't want to miss sharing my experience. I could not have asked for a more wonderful person to work with, than Kimberly. She answered all my questions on a timely manner and made sure my request for dropping our decorations ahead of the day, was accommodated. On the day of the event, my daughter was so impressed on how beautiful the room looked. The service our guests received was incredible and the food was delicious! Thank you Kimberly, and your team at Cafe la Cave, for making the day so special for us. I highly recommended this venue!!

My Husband and I hosted our wedding here Saturday November 2nd, 2019 and I am speechless. From start to finish Carrie and Randy were AMAZING!!! They understood the important details to make our day as beautiful and flawless as it was. They were so helpful and accommodating with all our items and guests needs. I would recommend this venue to all and can't wait to go back! Thank you a million times over and over again !! :) Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Scumaci

On December 15, 2018 I married by best friend at Cafe La Cave. We worked with Randy. He was incredible and made our wedding perfect! We married in the foyer under the staircase. We wanted a unique wedding and added special touches. We had Mexican guitarists on the stairs landing above us. They played for our guests and also played us in and out after the ceremony. Randy created a step by step itinerary that was followed by all making the wedding and reception flawless start to finish. He made sure we practiced and felt fully comfortable. My family and friends loved it! They cannot stop talking about the wedding on how it was beautiful, elegant and with fantastic food. We had passed appetizers and champagne for an hour before dinner. They were out of this world scrumptious. The wait staff made everyone feel special and elegant the whole night through. The food was phenomenal! My husband and I are foodies and we wanted our guests to enjoy and love their dinner so we p... Read moreicked our favorites (believe me this was hard everything is fabulous). The guests had a choice between New York strip, orange roughy or chicken with two awesome mushroom sauces. The guests raved about the food! Wedding food that was out of this world! This was extremely important to us. Everything was perfectly ready to go. I didn't have to worry about anything at all. Randy made sure everything was in place and my florist, photographers and DJ loved working with Randy and the staff at the Cave. I would highly recommend Cafe La Cave for any event and also for an elegant dinning experience in the cave. We are so happy we choose the Cafe La Cave for our special day we will cherish our memories forever! I wanted to share this review with all future brides looking for a perfect place. Enjoy and congratulations, May you have a wonderful and blessed wedding too!!!!

Cafe La Cave more than exceeded our expectations for our wedding- I wish I could give more than 5 stars. To be honest, I was hesitant at first because I had always dreamed of a downtown wedding (which sadly my budget couldn’t afford) but this venue and the team were far better than anything I had ever dreamed. Randy, Carrie, and Kim are the most amazing team and they really made me feel like the most special bride in the world throughout the whole process. They really understood what I wanted and because they are a family owned venue, they were extremely accommodating and flexible in any requests- they really make an effort to make every wedding different and unique. The rehearsal was actually fun for everyone and the day of I was not worried at all about any logistics. I knew the team had it covered and could handle any last minute issues without stressing me out. The highlight of the night was Randy, 100%. He was the emcee and coordinator for the night and made the entire night ... Read moreflow perfectly. From queuing up speeches, keeping the food on schedule (by the way the food was AMAZING), and doing all of the introductions, he really made the night seem so easy and super special. He is also a man of MANY talents and actually sang a few songs with the band! At least 10 people came up to me throughout the night to compliment him and someone asked me, and I quote “who is Uncle Randy and how do I get one?”. Finally, I will just say that our wedding night was the best night of our lives. So many guests told me it was by far the best wedding they have ever been to. I could go on and on about all the things I loved, but I will just leave it at this: if you want to have the best wedding ever and leave your guests raving, have it at Cafe La Cave!

Cafe La Cave is one of the best kept secrets in the wedding industry! Their venue is absolutely incredible in every way. Randy and Carrie were wonderful throughout the wedding planning process, meeting with us several times and being in constant communication via email. They helped our vision come to life. We were looking for a venue that was "all-inclusive" and they definitely took care of all the behind the scenes work for us. They helped us perfect the small details that helped personalize our wedding, and did so up until the last minute! Cafe La Cave is an amazing venue with a VERY reasonable price tag. We looked at several venues and this by far was the best overall value. Even better, the quality of the food and service was not compromised. We received SO many compliments about how delicious the food was, and the service was very prompt and professional. Randy emceed for us during the reception and was fantastic. He has a somewhat unique sequence of events but it flows well and ... Read moremakes for a very distinctive reception. We, along with our guests had an absolute blast and Cafe La Cave gave us an unforgettable wedding. Thank you!

We had our wedding here in September and at Christmas people were still talking about it. Randynand his staff were amazing!! The place was beautiful, the food was amazing. Best I ever had!! Pricing is very reasonable. Everything was amazing

Cafe La Cave is a wonderful venue! Carrie and Randy took very good care of us and our wedding on August 3rd. I couldn’t have asked for a better venue and the service and food was fantastic!

Wedding planning is overwhelming to say the least, but with the team at Cafe La Cave you do not need to worry! Our wedding was everything that we imagined it to be and more. Randy, Carrie, and Kimberly were top notch and were able to answer any questions and put our nerves at ease. We are beyond pleased with the way our wedding turned out! Our guests still rave about the food and friendly atmosphere! It was a beautiful experience!

RE: WEDDING, SATURDAY AUGUST, 20, 2016 WHEN WE BEGAN THIS PROCESS OF LOOKING FOR A VENUE FOR MY DAUGHTER’S WEDDING, WE WERE ABSOLUTELY GREEN, THOUGH WE HAD RESEARCHED PLENTY OF PLACES AND HAD VISITED NO LESS THAN 30 VENUES AND HEARD THEIR SALES PITCHES, FROM DOWNTOWN CHICAGO TO THE FAR SUBURBS, NORTH, SOUTH AND WEST, AND FINALLY DECIDED ON CAFÉ LA CAVE. ALL NAME BRAND LIQUOR IS INCLUDED, NO PACKAGES, GRATUITY INCLUDED, EXCEPTIONAL FOOD, GREAT REPUTATION AND AN INCREDIBLY ATTENTIVE SERVING STAFF WERE ATTRACTIVE ELEMENTS, BUT WHAT REALLY SOLD US WAS RANDY SUTTER. RANDY IS ONE OF THE OWNERS AND THE EVENT/WEDDING COORDINATOR. HE IS INVOLVED IN EACH ASPECT OF MAPPING OUT YOUR DREAM, CAPTURING YOUR VISION, AND RECOMMENDING ONLY THE BEST AND MOST CREATIVE VENDORS AT REASONABLE PRICES. MOST IMPORTANTLY, HE IS THERE ON THE DAY ORCHESTRATING THE EVENT, WORKING THE MICROPHONE, RUNNING IT AS THOUGH IT WAS A THEATRICAL PRODUCTION. THERE WAS A TIME TABLE FOR EACH ACTIVITY. EVERYTHING WAS FLA... Read moreWLESSLY ORGANIZED. THE EVENING RAN LIKE A WELL OILED MACHINE, NO DOWN TIME, ENERGY UP THROUGHOUT AND THE DANCE FLOOR WAS PACKED UNTIL THE LAST SONG PLAYED. THE FLORISTS HE RECOMMENDED WERE SO TALENTED; THEY TRANSFORMED THE ROOM INTO A PLACE THAT TRANSCENDED EARTH AND MERE MORTAL EXISTENCE. WE HAD UP LIGHTING, DRAPING, CHIAVARI CHAIRS, AND A LIVE BAND WHICH ADDED TO THE AMBIANCE. WHEN THE GROOMS MOTHER AND I SAW THE ROOM, WE BOTH STARTED CRYING, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ROOM WE HAD EVER SEEN. I HAVE BEEN TO MANY WEDDINGS, AND MENTALLY MAKE NOTE OF THINGS I WOULD CHANGE OR DO DIFFERENTLY. THIS NIGHT WAS PERFECT! EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED, SAID, “THIS WEDDING WAS PERFECT!” A WEDDING NEEDS A “PRODUCER”, A HUGE OVERSIGHT BY MOST, RANDY IS THE BEST. RANDY GAVE THE BRIDE AND GROOM, THE WEDDING BEYOND THEIR DREAMS. THE STAFF, THE FOOD, THE SERVICE AT CAFÉ THE CAVE EXCEEDED THEIR EXPECTATIONS AND WERE TRULY OUTSTANDING. MOST IMPORTANTLY, ON THIS VERY BUSY DAY WE COULD RELAX AND GIVE YOU THE REIN

My husband Bobby and I had our wedding reception at Cafe La Cave on 6/24/16. It truly was the best night of our lives. Randy is AMAZING to work with. He is so easygoing, kind and a blast to be around. He makes the wedding planning process fun! He lets you know his opinion, but is not pushy at all. His ideas are different, not the typical flow of a wedding reception, but honestly you will thank him when it's all said and done. He knows how to put on a good show for sure! My advice to future brides is listen to Randy and you will be golden. He will not steer you in the wrong direction. The food is also great...cannot beat the food..not typical banquet food. Everything about Cafe La Cave is amazing...the food, the decor, the lighting and most importantly....Randy!! Thank you Randy, Carrie and the rest of the staff at Cafe La Cave for making mine and my husband's wedding night the best day ever!!!

We are extremely happy we chose Café La Cave as our wedding reception venue. I cannot even count how many compliments we received on the food, the service, the venue décor and the flow of the evening. People kept telling us it was the best wedding they had ever been too. Randy was great to work with, he was very responsive to all of my emails and phone calls and had a lot of great suggestions. Definitely trust him with the layout of the evening. It's not conventional but it really works and I am very happy we didn't change anything. I can't recommend Café La Cave enough for your next event. It was wonderful!

My wife And I had gotten married in April 2017; done our wedding brunch, reception at Cafe Le cava. And the service and dedication to our needs was excellent. The host took care of us in all aspects. My wife and I we’re very pleased to have this banquet hall as part of our wedding memories. We ar extremely grateful for all that you did to make my wife have a smile from ear to ear. In our books your a 5 star! We thank you for everything.
