Sounds like a headache right? Well, we can help you secure a day of special event permit.

Our Herb Garden Report

All of our thyme, oregano, rosemary, & mint come from the "home garden". During the growing season we also keep several varieties of basil, lemon verbena, cilantro/coriander, and parsley. Additionally we grow several seasonal varieties of cut flowers including sunflower, zinnia, and nasturtium. This year we added a bay tree for fresh bay leaves and we also have a mature fig tree that produces approximately 25lbs of figs during a season that we turn to jam.Owner & Farmer, Daniel Whittaker, checks on the health of cilantro that was still growing in December last year.

BDP is simply incredible. From the gorgeous, unique space to the outstanding food and drinks-I can't recommend BDP enough. We had our wedding here in late spring 2022 and it was the best experience. The staff is so friendly and helpful, especially Jasmine who coordinated our entire event. If you're looking for a unique venue with great food but don't want the stress of wedding planning, BDP is it. They do it all.

I threw a lot of events and it's so important to us to make sure that we aren't just providing great food but we're partnering with someone sustainable. I found both of these while working with BDP. They helped us curate a menu, and were so flexible when it came to presentation, timing, and creative add-ons I would definitely partner with them again.

We can't recommend BPD enough as a perfect intimate wedding location in Chicago. On our third attempt to have a wedding thanks to a pesky global pandemic, our minds were eased by the straightforward planning process. When the day came we were amazing at how beautiful the setting was during the ceremony in daylight and then lit up after dark. The food and service were also top notch.

I cannot recommend BDP enough as the site for your wedding and event! The team was amazing to work with, they nailed our menu including making several custom dishes we wanted to have, and the scenery was a beautiful backdrop for our intimate wedding and dinner. Highly, highly recommend! *Photos thanks to the amazing Hanna Walkowaik!

If Chicago had mountains, I would climb the tallest one to tell everyone that could hear me about how amazing Big Delicious Planet is. The service was phenomenal, and the experience is unique. If you are looking for an amazing venue for a small/intimate wedding - I would highly recommend this place. Congratulations to the owners and employees of this facility for hitting the nail on the head!

When covid ruined our original wedding plans, big delicious planet came through with the most magical, intimate wedding reception in their garden! Grace took care of all the details with beautiful decor. all we had to do was show up! She took our input and had plenty of options for us to choose from. The food was amazing- gourmet, locally grown, and sustainable.

I loved the zucchini spirals and the strawberry shortcake. Each guest received a honey jar from BDP's own hives. Thanks to grace and her staff for making our wedding reception so wonderful!

Absolutely LOVED this place. I felt like I was in Santa Monica, CA right here in Chicago. Its honestly a mini escape from the city of Chicago. The service was great the staff is very courteous, professional and prompt. The food was amazingly delicious. For passed appetizers we had the chicken and waffles, lettuce wraps and goat cheese crostini. For our entrees we tried the simple green salad, short ribs, chicken, potatoes and grilled vegetables. All of it was simple, flavorful and FRESH. I highly recommend dining in the garden and/or hiring this organization to cater your next event!
