Hidden Gem

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!

Best team ever

We couldn’t be more thrilled with Hendri’s Food Caterer for our wedding! They went above and beyond from the very first consultation to the last bite of our wedding reception! The food was absolutely delicious - our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the food was.
Dan’s attention to detail was impressive. He listened carefully to our preferences and dietary requirements, offering helpful suggestions while still staying true to our vision. The staff was incredibly professional and friendly, ensuring everything ran smoothly throughout the evening.
The highlight for many was the variety and quality of the menu. The appetizers, main courses, and desserts were all spectacular and catered to every taste. It was clear that the team puts a lot of care and passion into their work.
We are so grateful to have chosen Hendri’s Food Caterer for our wedding, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch catering for their special event. Thank you, Hendri’s, for making our day unforgettable!

Our guests RAVED about the food!

Hendri's name came up repeatedly as we toured a number of venues for our wedding. With all of their menu suggestions and event experience, it felt like they knew the Sheldon better than anyone else which made our lives so much easier. I have just looking for reputable event, the food didn't have to be the star of the evening, but our guests raved about the food! We had the caraway pork tenderloin, the stuffed chicken, mashed potatoes and gazed carrots and broccoli. Their staff was super nice and even offered to individually bag our wedding cookies for our guests the day of. The only note on the whole experience was that their staff was a little pushy throughout the night to clear the tables. They kept taking drinks off the tables as people were on the dance floor, and a large number of our take home cookie baggies got thrown away off the tables during dancing/clean up. As the bride, a never got a cookie from my wedding day because I left it on the table so I would have one to take home, but at the end of the night, it was gone. Not the end of the world, but they were in to go bags for a reason. Overall I still give them a 99.9% because they did was exceptional.

Best caterer ever!

Dan is my favorite wedding vendor. He is so kind, knowledgeable, and communicative. Dan helped us put together the perfect menu that was within our budget. Hendri's even unexpectedly added some fun arrangements to the serving table. I got so many compliments on how delicious and filling the food was. The rest of the staff was incredibly attentive during the reception. My husband and I felt the most well-taken-care-of that we probably ever will in an evening!

Delicious!

We used Hendri's catering for our wedding at the Sheldon. Dan was very helpful and informative every step of the way. He answered all of our questions and pricing was very straightforward. We did a buffet and dessert bar for our wedding and everything was delicious. We got a ton of compliments!

I am beyond pleased with Hendri's! The food was delicious. The service is great. The price is good. They are a delight to work with. I got so many compliments on this venue about the food, super friendly staff, and how cool of a place it is and the ambiance. It's like a hidden gem in South Saint Louis! Everything was perfect! They do all the set up, linens, centerpieces. You cannot beat the price for what you get! Hendri's is amazing!

Hendri's was the best caterer ever for our outdoor wedding this summer! They are extremely responsive, friendly, and professional. Of the seven catering options our venue provided us with, Hendri's definitely had the best tasting food and as an added bonus was the most affordable. They did a beautiful job setting up the tables, linens, food, bar, and place settings the day of the wedding and the food was delicious. The servers were very attentive to us an our guests throughout the night. We highly recommend them and are very happy we chose them for our special day!

This was an awesome value for our money! Everyone loved the food and drinks. I liked having a fireplace at the venue, it gave people a place to take a break from the dance floor. I couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Hendri's catered our wedding at The Edge and we were thrilled at how well everything went. Mara did a great job of providing our table decorations and created a beautiful dessert table for us. Dan was with us the night of the wedding and assisted with our little last minute decorations. The food was delicious and the serving staff were pleasant and professional. I would hire Hendri's again and highly recommend them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I've known and worked with Steve and Dan, the owners of Hendri's, for over 30 years now. They have fantastic food and are super friendly guys who will take great care of you. They, like us, are very experienced pros and know exactly what they are doing, and I highly recommend them, always have. They are great with organization, set up and timing but are not overbearing or pushy. Their venue, Hendri's, is warm and comfortable for a midsize reception or party and there is plenty of room for dancing. Also, the high ceilings help make for a really neat ambiance! I know that they cater all over St. Louis, but if you're thinking of a reception site in South St. Louis, then you really should check out Hendri's. John Richard Owner/Elite Pro DJ

The checkered parquet floor and fireplace is perfect and can accommodate 200 for the combo or 300 for just the reception. Luxury at an affordable price. They also are preferred catering for a variety of locations for any budget. Carolyn Burke - Wedding Liaison
