Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life — the food, the bar, and the room shouldn't be something you have to worry about that morning. At Dimitri's Catering, we've spent more than three decades doing weddings across Northwest Indiana and the greater Chicago area, and we've built our four wedding packages around what actually matters to couples: everything included, transparent pricing, and a family who's been doing this long enough to know how to make the day feel effortless.
Every package covers the full experience — a five-hour bar, professional service staff, Gold Chiavari chairs (which most caterers charge as an upgrade), setup, and tear-down. All you're really deciding between packages is which menu you want. Whether you're planning an intimate 80-person reception or a 300-guest celebration, we handle it the same way we handle every wedding: like it's the only one that week.
Per-person pricing depends on your venue and date — call 219-736-1890 for a written quote. Hosting at The Croatian Center? See its published all-inclusive package pricing.
Premium bar service on Bronze, Silver, and Gold; top-shelf on Platinum. Our own traveling liquor license means we can serve at any venue in Northwest Indiana or Chicagoland.
The Gold Chiavari chair rental most caterers charge $6–$10 per chair for. Included standard on every package — no upgrade fee.
Full service staff for the full reception — bartenders, servers, and event captain. Setup and tear-down handled by our team, not the wedding party.
Once you've reserved your date, we schedule a private tasting so you can sample entrées and finalize your menu long before the big day.
Floor-length linens · upgrade from standard to floor-length in your choice of color.
Extended bar hours · add sixth or seventh hour of bar service for late-night receptions.
Champagne or Prosecco toast · served butler-style during toasts (included with Gold and Platinum).
Late-night snack service · sliders, pizza, tacos, or a mini-buffet after 10pm to keep the dance floor going.
Menu substitutions · swap any entrée in any package for a comparable option (vegetarian, gluten-free, and cultural menus available on request).
Based in Merrillville, we cater weddings all over Northwest Indiana and throughout Chicagoland. If your venue isn't listed below, chances are we've served there before — or can. We're the exclusive caterer at The Croatian Center and Banquets at St. Sava, and we cater off-site at Dean & Barbara White Community Center, Lake County Fairgrounds, and countless private venues, backyards, and rented halls.
Most couples book 9–12 months out for Saturday weddings in peak season (May through October). Off-season Saturdays and weekday weddings can often be booked with 3–6 months notice. Once you have a confirmed venue and date, reach out and we'll let you know what's available.
Package pricing is per-person with no strict minimum, though most weddings we serve run 80–250 guests. Smaller intimate weddings can be accommodated — reach out and we'll build a custom quote.
