Boutique Bites is a creative and custom catering and events company specializing in the mix of
stylish food and exceptional presentation.

We produce events throughout the city of Chicago and suburbs. From black tie galas at chic city venues, to tented weddings in private residences, to multi-day corporate conventions, Boutique Bites coordinates your entire event from start to finish, including rentals, setup, staffing, and execution.

Boutique Bites was founded in 2008 by executive chef Elaina Vazquez. After graduating from The Culinary Institute of America, Elaina trained at some of the best restaurants in the country including Joel Robuchon, Tru, and Avenues at the Peninsula Hotel. The beautiful food and attention to detail are what inspired chef Vazquez to bring this restaurant-style experience to catered events.

In 2014, we expanded into our new West Loop headquarters which includes a 4,000 square foot commercial kitchen, as well as a new private event venue, BRIQUE, where we cater events onsite for up to 150 guests seated or 200 guests cocktail style.

I love a great celebration! Whether it’s a birthday, an anniversary, a fun holiday, or even just because the weather is nice, you will find me having a great time with a smile on my face and a glass of champagne in my hand.  I grew up in a large family where food was always the center of attention and brought everyone together.  I founded Boutique Bites because I wanted to create that experience for others.

I love my exceptionally talented team and the select vendors we work with.  They are innovative, hard working and make every day fun.

I feel so lucky to have the most wonderful clients.  From the initial conversation to the last bite of dessert, they inspire and motivate me, and I feel so fortunate that they trust us with their milestone events.

On Sundays you will find me with my rescue Cavalier pup, Charlie, having friends over for brunch, making spicy Bloody Marys and celebrating, just because.
