About Us
LM Catering & Events is the team people turn to when they want a different take on catering. We’re cool and artsy and we show people how to think outside the ballroom. Our customers love us because on the one hand we’re a touch unconventional, but on the other we’re completely professional. We pay attention to every last detail.

Gabi Dorsch
Director of Catering Sales & Marketing
Hospitality runs in Gabi’s blood - she was born and raised in Germany and by the age of 11 was already working in the kitchen at her Aunt’s restaurants. After a number of years working in the family business Gabi began her formal professional career at the Hotel Dorint in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Looking for a change of scenery, she set off to Namibia to work as a house supervisor and chef at a game resort (and even worked on a hunting farm that only had enough electricity for 2 hours a day!) She then went to work in the Canary Islands off the coast of Northwest Africa in hotel operations and as a tour guide for the Isla La Palma. A few years later Gabi jetted back to mainland Europe and landed in Spain where she owned a restaurant near the port of Empuriabrava in Catalonia. Finally, she headed stateside to Chicago where she had started working with the Spanish Embassy on a two-year contract with the plan to move to Argentina upon completion. But within her first year here, she fell in love with Chicago (and has yet to visit Argentina.) While in the Windy City Gabi worked with a wide variety of renowned restaurants and catering companies before heading to LM. When not working, Gabi can be found cooking for friends and family, traveling, scuba diving, or fueling her flamingo obsession. Her dream is to one day own a small B&B on a beach or island.
