John did a perfect job at our recent housewarming party…read more He showed up early and eager to prepare the bar prior to the arrival of our first guests. Not only was he great at the bar, but he also helped out by walking around with a platter asking guests if he could swap and refresh their cocktails. He kept the bar stocked (and restocked from our basement) during the party so that we could enjoy time with our friends. He also did a great job cleaning up at the end of the night. John is a true professional who treats others with kindness and care. Not only will we be using his services in the future, but multiple friends mentioned that they will be hiring him as well for future celebrations!

We used Chic Chef Catering for our Wedding…read more Planning a wedding remotely (at the time in California) for a Northwest Indiana location, it was challenging to find a catering service that checked all of our boxes, until finding Chic Chef. I found them on a Google search trying to find somewhere that would accommodate vegan options, as I (and several of my guests) are plant -based. I was thrilled reading reviews from others experience with Chef Ravi and The Chic Chef Team and decided to reach out. Their website is every easy to navigate and their food options were exactly what we were looking for. They were so accommodating while I started the planning process 100% remotely while living in California, and experienced some delays with the pandemic era. We had to scale down quite a bit from our original plan, make necessary adjustments and they were able to reconfigure our menu and options to fit our final needs. The email communication and assurance Chic Chef provided to my groom and I was excellent, and eased our minds while having to delay and rest assured being able to utilize Chic Chef after postponing. We did a tasting the week before our Big Day, and we were so glad we made the drive for it! Having a chance to meet Chef Ravi and see the creations in person and chat on our vision was such a great experience. I was so happy to be able to have quality food for our wedding for all of our guests with different preferences. The cheesecake bites was the talk of the night!! We would definitely utilize Chic Chef Catering again for a future event. Thank you for providing an amazing meal for our Wedding Day

Chic Chef Catering is incredible!…read more I used them for my wedding and they were incredible to work with. They were easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. As soon as we had the tasting, we booked with Chic Chef immediately and didn't even try any other caterers it was that good. They met with my venue to do a final walk through a few weeks before the wedding. Day of, everything was executed flawlessly. The food was SO good. From the passed appetizers, salad, bread options, and entrees- everything was amazing. We got so many compliments from our guests raving that it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. I really loved that they offered linens as well- made it super easy for me. Thank you SO much for providing the wedding food of our dreams!

Using Sir Mix-a-Lot Bartending was the best party planning decision I have ever made. I hired a…read morebartender for my New Years Party for 30+ people last year and my guests and I had the most wonderful time. The company worked with me to craft specialty holiday themed cocktails for my party and the exact amount of ingredients to get before hand. The bartender we had made consistent, wonderful drinks the entire 4 hours and my guests and I could not have been more pleased! As someone who loves to host, having a professional and personal bartender elevated it to the next level. I look forward to hiring Sir Mix-a-Lot again this year!

Not only were they experienced, polite, extremely professional, but they jumped into tasks without even being asked. Helped with serving appetizers, to taking care of the bar, to making/passing out drinks, helped with the food buffet, cake/coffee serving and clean up. In other words, they were AMAZING!!! Would absolutely recommend for your next event!

Amazing and fun bartenders! I contacted Panda Staffing to bartend my wedding and it was a success!…read moreKim was very communicative throughout the booking process, gave me suggestions for some signature cocktails, and even offered to make signs for it. I ended up finding my own cocktail recipes and got fancy signs framed myself but I'm glad she suggested doing signature cocktails because they were a total hit! Both bartenders were extremely friendly, fun, and courteous. They came early to make 2 big batches of our signature drinks to have on hand. They were high energy, dancing behind the bar to the dj's music the entire night! Everyone loved their contagious energy! Whenever I walked by they offered me drinks immediately and even memorized what my mother in law ordered so whenever she came back they had her drink ready for her to hand out! Absolutely exceeded expectations!

In the world of breweries, this is as good as it gets! You want it to be casual, approachable, and…read morefriendly. CHECK! You want it to be open when you want to visit. They have a daytime area (The Steeple) and a nighttime area (The Biergarten). One is air conditioned / fully indoor while the other is more outdoor, production area vibes. CHECK! Many breweries aren't big enough to offer food. Not an issue here! They have a nice menu and I really liked the BBQ chicken flatbread (perfect size for two). They have close to two dozen beers, seltzers, etc. and out of the 10 we had, they were all pretty darn good. The maibock was our favorite! Be sure to give yourself plenty of time here, you won't want it to be a quick visit. Live music, trivia, etc. offered - check their socials for more info. Thanks to Amanda and Corey for a great reintroduction to Church Street after not visiting for a few years! We can't wait to come back and try more from your beer and food menus. P.S. Yelp found a bunch of photos from our last visit before this one...circa 2019! Holy Water isn't green anymore...

Happy New Year 2026! My first review of this year. Cheers!…read more Church Street is a spacious, but intimate feeling brewery with a relaxed vibe, tucked away in an Industrial area of Itasca. The on-site parking lot is quite small, but other business lots and street parking is available nearby, especially during events. I tried a sample of their light pilsner and purchased a 12 ounce prickly pear sour. It had a unique flavor to it and wasn't too tart or sour, as I find some to be. I would like to return and try the cranberry sour and German, dry pilsner. Perhaps after "Dry January!" (Hello Mocktails). I did not order any food but I do plan to return and would like to try some of their menu items. I enjoyed sitting at the bar with others and our server was delightful. I have also had their wheat beers which are tasty. Inside the brewery there is a cozy feel and the singing cook in the kitchen was fun to listen to, as he had a nice voice. Check out their fun fan merch for sale too. Happy "Brew Year" all!

*** it seems this review requires an update due to the reply posted below. I did agree to a…read morecontract and ran into an issue within 24 hours, totally true. What becomes a problem is that the owner committed in writing to provide a refund, did not issue one and then did not respond to follow ups regarding the situation. When a vendor agrees to issue a refund and then does not do so, that is an issue with business practice and deserves a negative review. I followed up for two weeks after the refund was promised and never received a refund or a response. *** The customer service is upsetting at best. I agreed to the estimate and then verbally and in writing was told they were taking a credit card just to hold the event. I ran into an issue with the event less than 24 hours after agreeing to the estimate and called them right away. The owner did not respond even though he had been quick to immediately respond before. The rep told me she would follow up quickly and didn't. They charged me 2 grand, never told me that they were and never sent a receipt. They then told me they would issue a refund and did not. They are now refusing to answer calls or emails. I need a resolution and they seem uninterested in providing customer service. Do not use them.
