And the food.....honeyyyyy...the food was E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!! Days later we were still getting complements from our family on how great it was. Well seasoned, but not overly seasoned! We had catfish, chicken, green beans Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, salad and peach cobbler. My goodness, my goodness! I'd highly recommend Soulful Creations! Again and again, I'd recommend!!

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

Everyone we worked with was so kind and professional. They were able to accommodate different dietary restrictions which was so nice especially considering the groom's family was vegetarian. Without asking, they made sure to make one of our prosciutto pizzas without prosciutto to provide to the groom's family table. The set-up and tear-down was so seamless on the day of our wedding. Thanks for helping give us the wedding of our dreams! If we had one piece of feedback, it's that the menu wasn't completely accurate regarding which items were vegetarian. For example, the harvest salad was listed as vegetarian, but when we asked about it at our tasting, the nuts in the salad are cooked in beef tallow. It was very easy to order the salad without nuts, but we're glad we asked, otherwise we wouldn't have known. And the ooey-gooey butter cake is not listed as a vegetarian item on the menu, but when we asked to confirm, we were told it was vegetarian. This ended up being very minor in the scheme of things, but just think updating the labeling would make things clearer. Overall, everything worked out perfectly on the day and we're so glad to have worked with them!

After being seated, we waited about 15 minutes without anyone acknowledging us or even bringing us water. During those 15 minutes, another party was seated at the table next to us. Almost immediately, a waitress came over with waters for them. She noticed that we didn't have any and told us, "I'll be right back with some waters for you." Instead, she returned without the waters and proceeded to take the neighboring table's order, even though we had been seated about 15 minutes before they arrived. At that point, it was clear we weren't being attended to, so we got up and left. We understand that restaurants can get busy, but simply being acknowledged and treated in the order we arrived would have made a big difference. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling overlooked, and we won't be returning
