We had the absolute best experience with True Cuisine Catering from start to finish! They were truly fantastic to work with and made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. They patiently answered my one million questions throughout the planning process and were always so helpful and accommodating.
Everything on our wedding day was absolutely beautiful, and most importantly, the food was AMAZING! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was.
I truly could not recommend True Cuisine Catering more for any event. They went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they did. If you’re looking for a catering company that is professional, attentive, and delivers an incredible experience from beginning to end, look no further than True Cuisine!
We had an incredible experience with True Cuisine/SBR Events Group! From start to finish, their professionalism, guidance, and attention to detail were outstanding—and the food was absolutely delicious. We received so many compliments from our guests!
Lauren was wonderful to work with from our first tasting through our wedding day, and our event captain, Susan, was an absolute joy. She made sure we, as the grooms, always had drinks, appetizers, and even desserts. Those thoughtful touches meant more to us than she probably realized.
And the autographed bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s from the founder was such a fun and special keepsake!
Amazing food, amazing people, and exceptional service. We couldn’t recommend them more!
We recently contracted True Cuisine (Sweet Baby Ray's) for a big barn dinner serving 60 guests and they exceeded our expectations! The staff was incredible (shoutout Alexis, Wendy, and Dylan) and their service was 10/10 - they were prompt, clean, quick, kind, and efficient. The food was delicious and received so many compliments from guests. The display was perfect and on brand with our late summer evening on the farm. Their menu is chockful of delicious items to choose from, and they have a ton of options for dietary restrictions. Will definitely be contracting with them for future events!
SBR True Cuisine Catering was one of the better decisions we made for our wedding. They were priced higher than some other caterers we considered for our casual Chicago-style menu, but they were upfront about why: their mobile kitchen allows them to cook fresh ON SITE rather than transport food over an hour and keep it warm.
What really sold us was our tasting.
I, the bride, cannot have gluten, garlic or onion. Other caterers knew this beforehand yet had virtually nothing I could eat at their tastings. SBR was the COMPLETE opposite.
We arrived to a personalized sign with our names and wedding date, then walked into a beautifully set table for me, my fiancé and his mom with champagne, printed menus and amazing service. Most importantly, EVERY item they served was prepared without gluten, garlic or onion so I could experience our entire potential wedding menu. My fiancé and his mom couldn't even tell the difference!
And this wasn't just something they did to win our business. At our 180-person wedding, SBR set up an entirely separate buffet for the dozen guests needing the restricted menu. Even the gluten-free buns remained sealed in their individual manufacturer packaging. I cannot say enough about how much I appreciated that level of care.
Their communication throughout planning was excellent. I made several changes and added appetizers and desserts, and they handled everything patiently without ever making me feel like an inconvenience.
There was one significant wedding-day issue: the final three tables did not get any mini Italian beef because SBR ran out. Since one reason we paid a premium was their ability to cook on site, this was disappointing. I would have expected extra product or for the team to notice it running low and prepare more. Having an attendant portion the beef rather than allowing guests to serve themselves may have helped as well. Three tables missing an entrée was significant and, in my opinion, preventable.
However, the overwhelming majority of our experience was excellent—and THE MAC & CHEESE! It was probably the most complimented food of our entire wedding. DOZENS of guests raved about it, including picky eaters and people who normally don't even like mac & cheese!
We also had Georgia peach and goat cheese skewers during cocktail hour. SBR thoughtfully made my fiancé and me our own beautifully presented plate, complete with parsley shaped into a heart, and they were PHENOMENAL.
SBR accommodated my dietary restrictions better than anyone else we considered, communicated wonderfully, handled our changes graciously and served food our guests are still talking about.
The Italian beef shortage keeps me from calling the execution flawless, but it doesn't erase everything they did exceptionally well.
If you want a caterer that takes dietary restrictions seriously, cooks fresh on site, communicates well and makes a mac & cheese that apparently becomes a wedding guest's entire personality for the evening, SBR is absolutely worth considering!
We catered from True Cuisine from the Sweet Baby Ray's menu. It was for a grad party with 75 people. The food was absolutely amazing--brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, corn, green beans, corn bread. We had more than enough food! The next day numerous guests texted me and asked for information on where the food was from. I would order from True Cuisine again!
True Cuisine was amazing!!
From the tasting, the planning process, and my many questions in between, the True Cuisine team are absolutely amazing to work with!! I can’t thank them enough for all of the help! The night was absolutely perfect, the staff were amazing. I received so many compliments for family and friends how good the food was, that it came out hot and that the staff was so nice throughout the whole night. Huge hit on late night snacks as well! They truly were amazing the night of! Sue was very tentative and made sure we were both good throughout all of dinner. We cannot recommend them enough!
Our family recently celebrated my niece’s wedding at the beautiful Wilder Mansion in Elmhurst, Illinois, and I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to True Cuisine for helping make the evening such a memorable experience.
From beginning to end, the professionalism, organization, attention to detail and genuine hospitality of the True Cuisine team were outstanding. Everything was handled with such care and professionalism, allowing our family and guests to simply relax, celebrate, and enjoy one of the most important days of our lives. The food, presentation, service and overall experience were exceptional and True Cuisine absolutely deserves recognition for the tremendous job they did.
I especially want to recognize the two bartenders, Jessica and Tasha, who were absolutely phenomenal. These ladies went far beyond simply doing their jobs—they brought genuine warmth, friendliness, professionalism and positive energy to the celebration. They were attentive, personable, incredibly welcoming and consistently made people feel comfortable and appreciated. Their smiles and friendly personalities added something special to the atmosphere, and their professionalism never wavered.
Jessica and Tasha are exactly the kind of people who can take an already wonderful event and make it even more enjoyable. I sincerely hope True Cuisine knows what a tremendous asset these two women are to their organization. Their exceptional service did not go unnoticed, and I am genuinely grateful that they were there to share in such an important family celebration.
As the bride’s uncle, this is an evening I will remember for the rest of my life and True Cuisine was an important part of making it so special. There is something truly meaningful about encountering people who take genuine pride in their work and understand that they aren't merely providing a service—they are helping families create memories that will last a lifetime.
To the entire True Cuisine team, especially Jessica and Tasha, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your professionalism, kindness, friendliness, patience and genuine hospitality. You helped make my niece’s wedding at Wilder Mansion an absolutely beautiful celebration and our family is incredibly grateful.
Five stars honestly don't seem like enough. If you are considering True Cuisine for your own special event, I would recommend them without hesitation. They are absolutely exceptional!
We are so happy we chose True Cuisine as our wedding caterer!
The first time we tried their food was at one of our venue's open houses, and from that moment on, we couldn't stop talking about it. We left saying, "This has to be our caterer," and they absolutely lived up to our expectations.
From the planning process through the wedding day, their team was wonderful to work with. They were incredibly organized, sent clear and timely emails, checked in throughout the planning process, and made everything feel easy on our end. We always knew exactly what they needed from us, which made planning one less thing to worry about.
Our tasting was another highlight. They truly went above and beyond, giving us a great experience with generous portions—we even left with plenty of leftovers! It made us even more excited for our wedding day.
On the wedding day, the food was just as amazing as we remembered. We had so many guests tell us how delicious everything was, and multiple people commented that it was some of the best wedding food they'd ever had. We also really appreciated how attentive the staff was to guests with allergies and dietary restrictions, making sure everyone received the correct meal and felt taken care of.
The only small hiccup from the day was that dinner service ran a little behind schedule. By the time some of the back tables were receiving their meals, many of the front tables had already finished eating. With a plated dinner and different meal selections, we completely understand that accuracy comes first, and we'd much rather have everyone receive the correct meal than feel rushed. If I had one suggestion, it would simply be to have one or two additional servers helping deliver plates so service could move a little more quickly.
Overall, that small delay didn't take away from how wonderful the experience was. The food was incredible, the planning process was seamless, and the team was professional, organized, and truly cared about giving our guests a great experience. We would absolutely recommend True Cuisine to anyone looking for amazing wedding catering!
TC/SBR just did my wedding and I cannot believe how extraordinary the service , food, professionalism was. They blew us out of the water. The food was so freaking delicious ! It was hot, flavorful, exactly as it was during the tasting. Sue was amazing and attentive! Highly highly highly recommend !
