Came here for a graduation banquet for my school and it was so so. Food was okay. It smelled a little stale. Parking wasn't great. Decor was old school. It had good sound quality though so no one had trouble hearing anyone. read more

Truly a hidden gem! When we first went to tour the venue, we were a little uncertain from the front parking lot. The entrance is very unassuming. Do not let that deter you! Once you enter the hall you are greeted with a beautiful space! From the black and white floors, the amazingly ornate wooden bar along the dance floor, the lounge areas, the fireplace and the perfect mood lighting, the hall is an absolute dream! The staff is amazing from the beginning of planning until after your big day. Incredibly friendly, and responsive and just all around great to work with. Hendri's also offers their own catering, and they provided a wonderful meal that was complimented by many of our guests throughout the night. Even if you have another venue, I would suggest checking out Hendri's for catering as they also cater offsite. All in all, I cannot say enough good things about Hendri's, and highly suggest checking them out! read more

My colleague recommended them and I'm so glad she did. This was for a work event with around 60 college students and faculty. I had a few ideas of which food I wanted based on their catering menu, but Dan made some great suggestions that I had not thought of. Additionally, he covered all the details that our event venue didn't even mention to me. For example, he asked how I would be playing music and I had no idea. He told me the options provided by the venue and recommended types of music that would be good for this type of event. Note that the venue I used was not associated with his catering company - he was just being nice and helpful. He was also very easy to get in contact with. I have definitely worked with other event-related services that are hard to reach and it is a nightmare, so consider this important aspect if you need your event to go well! The planning aspect of it all went so smoothly and I could not have done it without his help. The evening of the event, caterers were already hard at work by the time I got there. They had set everything up - buffet tables, tablecloths throughout venue, bar with bartender, etc... All I had to do was connect my phone to the Bluetooth for music and start greeting guests when they came in. They seriously made it so easy and I feel like that isn't even their job. Each staff member was friendly and helpful. I could ask them anything and they'd gladly help me find the answer. Not only that, but the FOOD WAS DELICIOUS!!! I wish I had taken pictures but I was too busy with hosting. Everyone I talked to at the event raved about the food choices. We had the following items in the buffet: -Salmon with Ginger Soy Glaze -Stuffed Chicken Breast (Herb Cheese with Balsamic Drizzle) -Broccoli Pancotto -Vegan Summer Pasta -Vegan House Salad -Fresh Breads with Butter -Dessert: Cake Shots -Drinks: Soda, Water, Beer, and Wine In summary, I would strongly recommend Hendri's for anyone who needs a catering service! They fulfill all of the top requirements for an important event, in my opinion - smooth planning process, excellent service before and during event, and delicious food. read more

This place is a beautiful venue for receptions & weddings. What you may not know is they also do to go dinners for Thursday night's. We tried it for the first time last week. The special was a gouda burger, so yummy. Had these amazing yummy roasted potatoes. You always get a sweet treat. Last week was a pastry. This week they had Huge Cheese Ravioli! Italian salad with this unspeakable dressing, so good. The sweet treat is this chocolate moose with the tiniest little spoons. Such friendly employees too. Just gotta call by Wednesday to place your order for Thursday's to go dinners. read more

Used Hendi's for our wedding and thought it would be good. A month after the fact Dan said he did math wrong and decided he wanted an extra $1,000.00 after we paid the contacted price the gave us prior to the event. Due to an accounting error on his end he expected us to just come up with the money. Then while figuring out how to pay he took it upon himself to charge my credit card. I would never recommend this company or to work with Dan. read more

We used Hendri's for our buffet wedding dinner, and it was a hit! We got a mac and cheese pasta, an assortment of veggies, and a chicken dish. We also requested that Hendri's do a late night toasted raviolis for us, and they were very accommodating. The service was great, the pricing was very reasonable, and everyone had great things to say about the food. We would recommend Hendri's for catering events! read more

Booked Hendri's for my wedding reception this past weekend. Best decision EVER. Dan, Mara and the entire staff were unbelievably nice and so helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was set up perfectly and that all my guests were taken care of. The food was delicious and unique, and everyone loved it. Dan and Mara kept in constant contact with me theought the entire planning process and were so flexible when I needed to go set up. They always answered the phone and answered all of my questions quickly. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was stressful, but My mind was at ease when dealing with Hendri's. They followed Covid 19 protocols and created a safe and welcoming environment. They even went above and beyond to pack up all of our decorations and centerpieces for us to pick up at a later date! Amazing customer service!!! Anyone looking for a beautiful, intimate setting for any event, book with Hendri's!! You won't be disappointed!! read more

Hendri's is the kind of catering gig you dream of, seriously, when you're a party planner. Their company helped up throw an amazing "Back to School Party" for staff and faculty and everyone was relaxed, cheery and happily reconnecting after a long summer. This was in large part due to Dan/Maura and their outstanding staff AND their fantastic foodstuffs! The menu does not shy away from trying current or trendy flavor profiles but also has an arsenal (and I do mean arsenal) of tasty, comfy, time-tested foods both finger and plated. Unbelievably gorgeous and multiple flavors of Deviled Egg, crispy Adobe Beggar's Purse, Brie Quesadillas with fresh Mango, Satays, Chipotle BBQ Burger Bites (addictive), Sushi (Maki) Rolls, Hummus Boards, Spanakopitas with just the right seasoning and just the right crunch, and our absolute favorite was the Mini Roasted New Potatoes filled with the creamiest of Goat Cheeses (topped with or without Chives or Bacon). For me what is one of the biggest take-aways about Hendri's is the price point. St. Louis is weighed down with TOO many catering establishments that overcharge by two and three times what they should, holding their customers financially hostage while only offering tiny doll house food that can NEVER be served at the temperatures they ought. Hendri's takes the high road leaving them all behind and gives you all the gourmet you can handle without the gouge. We will happily and hungrily be employing Hendri's for our next party. Thank you for everything! read more

Hendri's catered our daughter's wedding, with buffet hors d'oeuvres for 90 in May, and did it beautifully. They were patient and attentive through several phone calls and emails, and made sure things were done as we wished. The food was very good, with attention to vegetarians and non, as requested. The staff and servers took good care of us on the night. We recommend them unreservedly. read more

I'm working with Dan on putting together a menu for my fiancé and I's wedding next year and he has been OUTSTANDING to work with. Such a nice guy and genuinely cares. He is also working with us to come up with a menu that fits within our budget. By far the most accommodating and pleasant vendor that we have worked with thus far and we will be recommending him to any of our friends getting married in the near future. Thanks, Dan! read more

Hendri's is amazing! It was the best choice in caterer we could have made and definitely one of our best wedding choices. Dan and his team were so wonderful to work with and very patient with all of my questions and requests. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and taken care of at the wedding. I received TONS of compliments on the food, many guests said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding, and I was more than happy with the menu that we all came up with together. I would highly recommend Hendri's to anyone!! They provide great food, great service and a really great value. As an added bonus, they have an excellent team, an excellent bar and are overall just really great people to have on your team! read more

Hendri's was terrific and we are so glad we chose them for our venue! Dan and Mara were very accommodating with all our different requests, helping us adjust the menu for special diets, working with us as the guest count changed, and letting us visit the space several times to get a better idea of how to decorate and arrange things. The food was excellent (a lot of locally sourced ingredients and everything cooked right there in their kitchen) and everything went very smoothly at the reception. The service was great! Thanks so much! read more

Huge thanks to Dan, Mara, and the rest of the Hendri's staff that made our reception so easy for me! The food was delicious and I received many compliments from our guests. They really made the whole event run so seamlessly and were very pleasant to work with. Dan even offered suggestions towards the reception above and beyond the scope of the caterer. Very happy with everything and wouldn't hesitate to call them again! read more

Our wedding reception at Hendri's was outstanding. Dan & Mara--the owners and operators--provided exceptional service and valuable advice at every stage of our planning. They were so friendly and accommodating, as well as very prompt in answering questions for us. The food was excellent; our guests were still bringing it up to us for days after the event. The bar had great beers in stock and Urban Chestnut Zwickel on tap, in addition to good house selections of wine and the standard liquors. We couldn't believe how reasonably priced everything was compared to the many other venues we toured. Hendri's is really a hidden gem in South Saint Louis City. It's such a cool space--very charming and elegant. read more

We used Hendri's a few years ago with a great experience and so we didn't check up on how they are now. Big mistake. The food was not as we requested it (there were tomatoes in the rice after we specifically asked them not to prepare it that way). It was the quality of the service that went way down: -after my wife spent 6 hours decorating the cake, they cut it up almost when they got there instead of letting it be displayed before & during dinner -coffee was not served with dessert, but was served 15 minutes before the affair ended (after we reminded them) -then, after the affair, we talked to Dan & Mara (the owners), they admit these things had been done wrong--they apologized for the mistakes but made no gesture to make them right read more

On March 22, 2019 my partner and I had our wedding and reception at Hendri's Events. I am overwhelmed with the quality of care and service we received by the entire staff. They helped to make our wedding more memorable by us not having to stress out over details. They went above and beyond our expectations. All of our guests commented on the quality and taste of the food. The bartenders... they know how to pour a drink! It's obvious that Dan has the highest of expectations when it comes to food and service. This is part of the DNA of the entire staff. Kudos and thank you to you all! read more

My wife and I attended a wedding reception of a neighbor's daughter a few years back at Hendri's. While the outside is unimpressive, once you step inside it is warm and inviting, attractive and comfortable. The room is intimate and comfortable, the burning fireplace so homey. Dan was friendly and listened to our plans. He, his wife and his staff answered our questions, were open to our suggestions and were happy to do the little things we requested. The atmosphere is warm and somewhat intimate even with a crowd of 100. Lots of wood, with a black and white tiled floor and a fireplace. The lanterns on the table (supplied by Hendri's) added to the charm. We did minimal decorating, the room has so much character it really isn't necessary. We heard many of our guests comment on the quality of the food, one neighbor even saying it was the best food he had been served at a banquet. The desserts we had planned were so good they were gone before all our guests had the chance to get to the dessert table. Hendri's staff came out with additional desserts without us asking. My wife and I would understand if they had not, since it was just that some had more desserts than planned and Hendri's had not planned to add more desserts. We would highly recommend Hendri's. The venue was attractive and comfortable, the food excellent, the service great and the price reasonable. Thank you, Dan, his wife and staff, for making our son's engagement dinner so wonderful. read more

Hendri's catered our wedding at another venue (not their venue). The food was absolutely fantastic! All of our guests were so impressed and I got many, many requests for the caterers' name. They were super helpful leading up to our big day, helping with room set-up and planning while staying within our budget. They set up everything just the way I wanted it for our reception, from table signs to escort cards and they worked with the bakery and florist to coordinate their deliveries as well. They were by far the best value of all the caterers I had to choose from at my venue. Highly recommend!! read more
