We hired True Cuisine as our wedding caterer and cannot recommend them enough!! Not only was the food hot and amazing, the staff was friendly, accommodating and communicative. They went above and beyond with the details — From the cute bride/groom napkin folds to the way the wrapped our leftovers to go. Our guests raved about the food and service. Thank you, True Cuisine team!

We chose True Cuisine for our July 2024 wedding and couldn't be happier with our choice! They were one of the approved vendors for our venue and the more cost effective option, but honestly the most delicious option! We chose a BBQ buffet and got so many comments from guests about how much they loved the food, and oddly a lot of questions about what the coffee was because they really loved that too. Planning was a breeze with this stellar team, who were so kind and lovely to work with. They were so on top of any small changes we needed to make to our contract, were eager to answer all of our questions and were very accommodating for the wide variety of allergies we had in our party (gluten, tomatoes, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, citrus, pork, garlic, onion) and helped us identify changes to make to our menu so everyone would have enough food and any plated meals we needed for where the buffet couldn't fit the allergy. The staff were so kind and helpful on our wedding day, making sure we were well hydrated and fed. Everyone was a dream to work with and really made our wedding day feel special!

My husband and I had our wedding at Room 1520 in Chicago, IL for 115 people. True Cuisine was one of the approved caterers we could use at that venue. I (the Bride) have a full 8.5x11 sheet of food allergies and intolerances including gluten and am very difficult to feed in a shared kitchen. We were very lucky our chef Mike has a personal commitment to food safety as he has family members that have food allergies. He and his staff did his best he could to keep me and my guests with food issues safe. Our tasting at the True Cuisine space was perfect. Sara Claire took excellent care of us in the tasting and planning process! We decided to have a fully gluten free wedding to keep me safe. On the day of the wedding, everyone who was able to eat the food raved about how delicious it was and said it was the best wedding food they had ever had. I have only one friend that attended with severe dairy and peanut allergies who was not able to eat her meal due to confusion in the kitchen. The kitchen also served me (the Bride) the wrong salad and main dish initially. They corrected these errors quickly for me. Sadly, I had an anaphylactic reaction at the end of the wedding reception from our late night snack: chips and dip. We were not able to fully determine what allergen I reacted to as all recipes were the same as our tasting. My allergist and I believe as the chips were made fresh, that the mobile fryer may have had some of my known allergens in it from previous use. As said previously, it is difficult to feed me from a shared kitchen but True Cuisine did the best they could. My husband and I are glad our guests enjoyed the food and I am ok! We recommend them if you do not have as many allergies as I do!

My now husband and I were absolutely blown away by the quality and endless options True Cuisine offered us. Because they're one of the very few vendors in the Chicagoland area that make all of their meals completely on site, their ability to customize and accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences allowed us to serve everyone what they really wanted! When there was some confusion with the meal markers, they quickly accommodated anyone that was expecting a different meal - just another perk of cooking completely on site! Working with them was so much fun; they allowed us 2 tastings to confirm our menu was exactly what we wanted, and they were very open to us modifying menu options to include our favorite sides and flavors. They really made our foodie dreams come true!

My husband is vegan and I am vegetarian, so from the moment we got engaged, we knew we wanted the food at our wedding to not only taste great (of course!) but we also wanted it to be an expression of us and our values. It was important to us that we have a meat-free wedding with plenty of options for a variety of dietary restrictions, including vegan and gluten-free. From the get-go, True Cuisine was on board with our vision and put together an incredible menu that fulfilled every wish of ours. They graciously offered to alter some vegetarian meals to make them vegan and were diligent about labeling all items to ensure our guests knew exactly what was in (or not in) each item on the menu.. Since the wedding, we have had countless guests rave about the food at our wedding, and we’ve even had more than one claim that our food was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. In addition to the truly exquisite food, the service provided by True Cuisine was top notch. Our coordinator Meghann was an absolute dream to work with, and the day-off staff was just as stellar. During our cocktail hour while my husband and I were finishing up photos, our head waiter made it a point to find us on the grounds and bring us one of each of our hors d’oeuvres to ensure we got to try the food we had been excited to pick for the wedding. I have nothing but nice things to say about True Cuisine and I cannot recommend them enough!

True Cuisine Catering was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish, and I can’t recommend them enough! Meghann was fantastic to work with throughout the planning process—she was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. She truly cared about making our vision come to life!

On the big day, Robbie and Beth were outstanding! Their attentiveness to our guests was unmatched, and so many people commented on how friendly and professional they were. They worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly, which allowed us to enjoy every moment of our celebration without a single worry.

And the food? Absolutely incredible! Our guests are still raving about how delicious and beautifully presented everything was. True Cuisine didn’t just provide catering—they created an elevated dining experience that left a lasting impression on everyone.

As a wedding planner myself, choosing True Cuisine to cater my own wedding was a no-brainer, and they still managed to exceed all my expectations. Their team is professional, talented, and truly passionate about what they do. If you’re looking for catering that combines amazing food, flawless service, and a team that genuinely cares about your event, look no further. True Cuisine is simply the best!

True Cuisine exceeded all expectations for Margaret and Bill’s wedding! Their communication is absolutely top-tier—clear, consistent, and always professional. And the food? Truly restaurant-quality, prepared and presented in a way that will blow you away.

I already have another 2025 couple working with True Cuisine, and I’ve been singing their praises to everyone involved. Their team’s attention to detail, creativity, and dedication to excellence make them a standout choice for any event. I cannot wait to work with them again next year. Highly recommend!

True Cuisine did such a wonderful job with our wedding. They made it so easy to choose them to be our caterers because they listened to everything we wanted and catered to our needs. The appetizers were coming at a great pace, the dinner was delicious and plated beautifully, and the staff was above and beyond professional. Our guests mentioned that amazing salad for days afterwards, and we've been making a copycat version at home because it was so good. We opted to do a dessert table with them, and it was so tasty with a ton of options. The late night bites were also a huge hit with our guests. We truly don't have a single complaint, and would recommend True Cuisine to anyone who would listen!
