Butter and Vine really outdid themselves at our 8/13/22 wedding. My husband and I were initially a little nervous choosing them as our caterer because of the lack of reviews (there was only 1 review back when we booked them), but they were indisputably amazing throughout the entire process, and especially on the wedding day! Choosing Butter and Vine was the best decision we made for our wedding.

Sue is such a pleasure to work with. She is kind, funny, and really knows her stuff. Butter and Vine may be a new business, but they operate as if their employees have been working together for years! We heard other catering companies have been struggling with staff, but Sue and her team are like family and have had no issues whatsoever with keeping their staff. There were plenty of servers at our wedding and everyone received their food in a very timely manner.

Now that we are through talking logistics - holy cow was the food incredible!! We had guests from the East coast tell us that the scallops they had at our wedding were the best they had ever tasted. Everyone was truly raving about the food. My husband and I had a little of everything on our plates (we went with artichoke risotto, scallops, and short rib for entrees), and I can safely say that everything tasted even better on the wedding night than it did at our tasting a few months before! Rest assured, you are in good hands with Butter and Vine.

Thanks Sue and the whole Butter and Vine team for serving the best wedding food most of our guests have ever tasted!!

xoxo Sabrina and Brendan O’Brien

Butter and Vine were phenomenal and Rich + his exceptional team exceeded every expectation for our memorable wedding; and were a joy to work with!

We are incredibly grateful that Rich agreed to cater our intimate celebration, given they are known for much larger, elaborate events. From the very beginning, Rich and his staff were professional, knowledgeable, organized, and truly committed to bringing our vision to life.

Our guests are still talking about the food—every dish was absolutely delicious. The quality, flavors, and presentation were perfection, and the compliments continued long after the night ended.

We are also deeply thankful to the team for setting up our beautiful outdoor beach ceremony and creating an elegant reception space that was perfection! The staff were attentive, kind, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure everything was flawless.

We could not have asked for a better experience with such a highly skilled and professional team. We would recommend them wholeheartedly to any couple looking for exceptional food, service, and a team that truly cares about you and your vision!

Butter & Vine catered our daughter’s wedding at the Crawford in Naperville. A+ in all regards! Their attention to detail was noteworthy. The presentation of the food was elegant. The taste was delicious. The service was professional and attentive — but not overbearing. And, the execution was flawless. We worked mostly with Rich Levy — who, from the beginning until the very end, was beyond accommodating and delivered spectacularly on his commitments.

My husband and I chose Butter & Vine for our New Year's Eve wedding celebration at Sarabande Chicago. From the moment we had our tasting with Rich Levy, we were impressed with the company and our experience. The team goes above and beyond to accommodate your vision and your preferences, and the food is among the best wedding food we've ever had. Rebeca made choosing our tablewares fun and easy. Everyone who worked the event was professional and friendly. Our guests absolutely loved the food. I ony wish my husband and I had eaten more! Thank you, Butter & Vine!

I was very pleased with the New Year’s Eve Day brunch catered by Butter & Vine. The variety of food, presentation, and well trained staff exceeded my expectations..

A representative from the organization came to my home beforehand to review the menu, check serving pieces, and offer helpful suggestions for any extras that might be needed. I also had the option to rent necessary items, which was a great convenience. The menu included delicious vegetarian and gluten-free options, ensuring that all guests had something to enjoy.

Their attention to detail didn’t stop after the event —a follow-up call to ask for feedback and suggestions for improvement was much appreciated.

Without a doubt, I would hire Butter & Vine (Rich Levy and team) again for my next event. Highly recommended!

Working with Butter & Vine for our wedding was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Rich was incredibly responsible and attentive, and his staff provided flawless service. The tasting experience was exceptional, offering a true preview of what the big day would be like, and they absolutely delivered on our wedding day.

Our guests couldn't stop raving about the hors d'oeuvres, dinner, and desserts. The short rib was so tender it melted in your mouth, and the salmon was cooked to perfection. The appetizers, especially the mini tacos paired with mini margaritas, were a fun and delicious hit. And the salted caramel milkshakes? A perfect, unforgettable finish that had everyone talking.

We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience. We highly recommend choosing Butter & Vine!

Butter and Vine were truly incredible. The food was so delicious (all of our guest commented so) and the staff were deeply kind and professional the day of our wedding. We could not be happier with the service and the efforts of this team.

Butter and Vine catered our annual non-profit fundraiser earlier this year. They exactly matched the vibe we wanted with choice of linens/plateware etc. while helping us stay on budget. And our guests LOVED the food. The mini-margaritas that came with the tacos were a huge hit in particular and I personally loved all the desserts. Really great quality and value, will definitely be using them for our event next year.

Save yourself some time and hire Butter+Vine right now! Sue, Rich, and the whole team made our wedding reception memorable for us and all of our guests. We were about to sign a contract with a different caterer when we attended another wedding with Butter+Vine and we knew immediately that we had to change course. Everything tasted phenomenal - from creative appetizers to delicious main courses to custom cocktails. Sue was beyond accommodating at our tasting, tweaking recipes and making sure the menus represented what we wanted. She graciously helped us change our dessert options mere weeks before the big day. We felt so loved and cared for during our reception by everyone on the catering team, and our guests RAVED about the food!! We can't say enough good things about Butter+Vine!!

I recently had the pleasure of using Butter & Vine for my wedding in November. They provided their catering and bar services and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The food was delicious and also beautifully presented. The staff was kind, professional, attentive, and ensured that everything ran smoothly. Our guests had only good things to say about the menu and the attention to detail, this truly made our special day more memorable. I highly recommend Butter & Vine Catering for your event.
