Best wedding food EVER!

The team at True Cuisine was absolutely fabulous to work with from the very beginning! From our first interactions through the wedding day, the team was professional, communicative, and wonderful partners throughout the planning process.

Our tasting was such a great experience and made everyone feel included — especially our parents, who loved being part of it. The True Cuisine team was also incredibly accommodating and helpful when it came to navigating dietary restrictions, which gave us so much peace of mind leading up to the wedding.

On the wedding day, the service was truly top notch. The staff took amazing care of both us at the sweetheart table and all of our guests throughout the evening. And the food itself was absolutely to die for! We served the Texas beef brisket, pan-seared airline chicken, and wild mushroom rigatoni, and guests are still texting us saying it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had.

We could not recommend True Cuisine more highly for anyone looking for incredible food and an exceptional catering team!

Wedding Caterer

I cannot explain enough how amazing TrueCuisine is for weddings. They were our caterer for our wedding on 04/10/2026. Their food options are exceptional and taste amazing. It is nothing like other wedding food; it tastes completely homemade. Their communication was professional and timely as well. I would recommend TrueCuisine for anyone in the Chicagoland area if you want your guests walking away saying "It was the best food we have had at a wedding".

True Cuisine made our New Year’s wedding so special!

We had an amazing experience working with the team at True Cuisine for our wedding. Lauren and Jacob were an absolute joy to work with and truly brought our wedding menu to life. We had such a lovely time at our tasting with Lauren and our families, and it made us even more excited for the big day.

During our wedding walkthrough, they were incredibly thorough—making sure inventory was up to date and that every detail was accounted for, from the dinner table setup to smaller touches like our place card table. They also worked closely with us to accommodate family allergies and ensured the entire menu was free of peanuts and tree nuts, which gave us great peace of mind.

We’re still getting compliments on the food, and we’re so grateful we got to work with the True Cuisine team to make our wedding day so special.

HIGHLY recommend for AMAZING food and service!

We just can't recommend True Cuisine highly enough!! Their fantastic team provided the most delicious food and personalized service for our daughter's wedding and guests are still raving about how good everything was! Their expertise made the whole planning process so easy and the bride and groom felt very spoiled by a lavish tasting experience and custom menu that provided exactly what they wanted. On the big day, they took away all the stress by timing everything perfectly and providing professional and friendly service to everyone, especially the bride and groom. They went above and beyond to work within our budget and yet give guests a luxurious dinner! 10 out of 10 stars!!

Great food, amazing service, happy couple

One of our priorities in planning our wedding was the food/cuisine. We wanted food that our guests would enjoy, remember, and rave about. The True Cuisine/SBR team more than exceeded in doing that. There is not an item on their menu that was not delicious (which made picking our menu so difficult)! Our whole process working with the team was amazing - it was smooth, painless, and removed a lot of the stress of wedding planning.

We initially found True Cuisine through our venue (The BRIX on the Fox). True Cuisine/SBR host weddings at they BRIX almost every weekend and are truly a well-oiled machine their. They executed the day flawlessly and were so professional, kind, and on top of everything. The timing was impeccable and our guests did not go hungry through the event. They even especially catered to our guests with allergies/dietary preferences (since we did buffet style) and made sure those guests had individual plates made for them.

We truly had a great experience with this team - from the tasting, to the coordination/planning, to the day of. We would recommend them to all couples planning a wedding and in need of catering. Thank you True Cuisine! We are so grateful to you!

Best Food, Best Team!

We had such a wonderful experience with True Cuisine. The tasting felt private and personalized, and they went above and beyond by creating a custom dish for us that ended up being one of our favorites. On the wedding day, everything was just as delicious as we remembered from the tasting, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food. The team was so easy to communicate with throughout the process, and I truly felt taken care of from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for great food and a smooth, stress-free experience.

Do not hesitate to hire True Cuisine for your special day!

When we started planning our wedding, we had a BBQ caterer in mind, but the venue we chose had a list of vendors we had to choose from. We saw Sweet Baby Rays/True Cuisine on the list so we went to the restaurant, tried the food, and decided to give them a shot. I'm so glad we did, as they exceeded our expectations! From the beginning, everyone we worked with was very helpful, accommodating, and got back to us quickly with answers to any questions we asked. We chose to go without a wedding planner and figure out everything ourselves, and the True Cuisine team was very helpful on the day of, setting up our centerpieces and favors and giving us guidance where we needed it. The food was outstanding! We got so many compliments from our guests! All of the staff did an excellent job and everyone we talked to was very friendly. The services they provided were set up/tear down/clean up of the reception, provided all food, dessert table, late night snack, and full bar. I'm so glad we went with SBR/True Cuisine and I couldn't recommend them more for your special day!

Great Experience!

We used True Cuisine for our February 2025 wedding. We originally met with them since they were one of our venues preferred caterers, but they were so incredible we would have chosen them anyways! We had excellent communication throughout the whole process from everyone we worked with, and they helped us customize our package to be exactly what we needed. The staff with us day-of were detailed oriented and made the reception run so smoothly. Of course, the food was also delicious! We had many guests tell us how good it was, and that they went up for seconds.

Simply the best!

Our wedding was on 3/9/24 this year. We had the pleasure of working with True Cuisine catering service, and I must say, they exceeded all expectations. True Cuisine came to our rescue just few weeks before our ceremony after our previous vendor canceled last minute. Despite the short notice, their staff was incredibly accommodating and professional.

Now, let's talk about the food - it was simply amazing! The steak and salmon were cooked to perfection, and the flavors were exceptional. True Cuisine also offers a selection of beautiful silverware, adding an elegant touch to our event.

I cannot say enough about Meghann, who was a delight to work with. Her attention to detail and dedication to ensuring everything went smoothly were truly appreciated. Luiz was also the star of the day leading and coordinating the team. Overall, I highly recommend True Cuisine catering service - they saved the day and made our event unforgettable!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
