SBR Event Catering is absolute perfection! We used them for our May 2026 wedding at Lincoln…read moreFarmstead, and they exceeded every expectation while remaining incredibly reasonable in price. I worked closely with Meghann Streicher to build our entire wedding day plan. She helped coordinate our timeline, cocktail hour, drinks, dinner, and dessert. Throughout months of planning, Meghann and her team were responsive, encouraging, and full of great ideas--without ever being pushy when we were indecisive. On the big day, our event director, Nate, was an absolute superstar. His calm presence instantly put us at ease. He is a true professional who kept everything running flawlessly. I loved that his staff quietly visited each table to dismiss guests for the buffet. This kept the atmosphere intimate and didn't interrupt the dinner music from our DJ (Windy City Sound). The food was spectacular--delicious, perfectly cooked, and served at the ideal temperature. Our guests raved about it! SBR was incredibly thoughtful with the details. They provided kids' meals with fruit cut into cute shapes, and they even reminded us to order vendor meals (which I had totally forgotten). One guest required a dairy-free meal and told us it was one of the best meals she had ever eaten, gushing over how attentive the staff was. As a full-service company, they truly handle everything. At the end of the night, they teamed up with the venue staff to box up leftovers, clear tables, and clean. I expected to help, but they had it completely covered and sent us on our way. Save yourself the stress and hire SBR!

Simply put, Terrific Food & Wonderful Service! Our Cast & Crew really enjoyed the variety of meals ranging from Breakfast Burritos to Taco Tuesday, from BBQ Pull Pork to Pasta Nights, Mediterranean-theme to Chicago Italian Beef, etc. And that Brisket... so delish. Communication was crucial with our schedule updates / dietary notes; this catering team heard our changes and adjusted as necessary. They truly went the distance (far as Woodstock), delivered to our outdoor sets and arrived early to meet our meal times. To the team at Sweet Baby Ray's / True Cuisine Catering, we appreciate you taking care of our Cast & Crew! Shout out to your talent: Lauren, Rain, Jeff, Andrew, Alexis, Joanna, Sue, Jerry, Jacob... Many Thanks! - Ron
