2023 Unwrapped: A Dazzling Year at Wayne Enterprises Chicago

Robin Banqueton, writer for Wayne Enterprises Chicago




Hello, dear readers!

Imagine if 2023 at Wayne Enterprises Chicago was a TV show – it would be an exhilarating mix of 'MasterChef', 'Fixer Upper', and 'The Office', with a sprinkle of 'Cheers'!

This year was a rollercoaster of growth, innovation, and unforgettable moments.

Let's unwrap this festive parcel of memories together!


Eleganté Cuisine's Culinary Odyssey


In 2023, Eleganté Cuisine didn't just step up its game; it leaped into a brand new, state-of-the-art facility. Imagine a culinary wonderland with the latest technology, spacious conference rooms, and a tasting kitchen that's every chef's dream. It's a phoenix rising from the culinary ashes, ready for a grand opening this spring that's sure to tantalize every taste bud in Chicagoland.





But hey, it wasn't all work and no play! Our summer picnic was a splash hit – literally, thanks to the epic water balloon showdown. Baggo champs were crowned, and we raised our glasses in a toast to teamwork, triumphs, and terrific food.





And who could forget Christmas? Our hearts and stoves were set on making the holidays special for our clients. The pièce de résistance? Our very own handcrafted Holiday Glogg, complete with a custom label and a festive guide to wooing guests.

Talk about holiday spirit(s)!





Metropolis Ballroom's Stunning Transformation


Metropolis Ballroom underwent a Cinderella-like transformation this year. Think gold and navy carpeting with a pattern so captivating, it could tell its own story, and wallpaper that adds a dash of elegance to every event.

Our Easter and Mother's Day brunches were nothing short of magical.

The Easter Bunny hopped in, creating picture-perfect moments, while Mother's Day mimosas and a giveaway for a live show at the Metropolis Performing Arts Center made it a day to remember. Happiness was the main course, and we served it with style.





Corky’s Catering - The New (to us) Flavor in Town


Welcoming Corky’s Catering into the Wayne Enterprises Chicago family was like adding the secret ingredient to our recipe for success. With over 30 years of delighting the Chicago community, Corky's is here to show that when it comes to events, they're the masters of ceremonies.



Cafe Eleganté's Triumphant Return


The year 2020 brought challenges that led to the temporary closure of Cafe Eleganté.

But like a classic tale of revival, in 2024, this cherished cafe is set to make a grand comeback. Tucked away in the Hamilton building, Cafe Eleganté will once again become the go-to spot for our corporate friends to enjoy a delightful lunch or a rejuvenating coffee break. With brand new equipment and innovative culinary creations, the cafe is poised to delight your taste buds in ways you've never imagined.





Wayne Enterprises Chicago's Brand New Look


With all these exciting developments, it was time for a little makeover of our own. Our website got a complete overhaul – sleek, informative, and a true reflection of our dynamic team and mission. As we march into 2024, Wayne Enterprises Chicago is ready to be the titan of the catering and special events industry.


That's A Wrap!


From kitchen makeovers to festive glogg-making, 2023 was a year of growth, laughter, and unforgettable moments at Wayne Enterprises Chicago. We're grateful to our incredible team and our amazing clients for being part of this journey.


Buckle up, because 2024 is going to be even more spectacular!
