I wanted to tell you how impressed we were with the food from Sweet Baby Ray's for my daughter's graduation party. Your delivery person Jeff helped set up the entire order, helping me put extra items in the ovens and making sure everything looked perfect before he left. The food was FANTASTIC. Everything had a lot of flavor and the meat was juicy, tender and the sides were so good.

Meghan and her team were phenomenal! From the tasting, to my million questions and changes to the final show on our wedding day. The food was delicious and our guests said it was the best they have ever had. The appetizers were perfect, the buffet was beyond gorgeous and not just your normal table and warming trays set up. They truly thought of every detail and cooked everything to perfection. I highly recommend them and look forward to using them for all our catering needs.

Lauren and the Sweet Baby Ray's/True Cuisine team were incredible for our wedding day! We were looking for tasty barbecue and they delivered downright delicious food for our big day. They were easy to work with and responsive. Plus, they provided almost all of our rentals. We rented farm tables, linens, purple goblets, and even a port-o-potty for our backyard wedding. We are so grateful for all the work they put in to make our day so special and would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, excellent caterer for their big event. Thank you so much for everything y'all did for us!

True Cuisine is the BEST catering company we've ever worked with. We used them for our wedding and the food was divine -- guests raved about the rigatoni, black cherry brisket and herb roasted chicken (seriously, it's so much better than your standard wedding food). In addition to the incredible food, their service is second to none -- very professional and speedy (they had 160+ dishes out in under 15 mins!) Meghann and her team are the best!

I hosted a home baby shower in our yard this past weekend and I was most impressed with the service, food, professionalism of the staff and high quality presentation. I am not easy to please, but I assure you that the service exceeded my expectation. I highly recommend spending the extra charges for a party coordinator, because she, the bartender and server were AWSOME. I will definitely use them again.

Meghann was a pleasure to work with! Everyone was impressed with all of our food and the professionalism of the servers. This team worked with our budget, ever changing guest list and allergies effortlessly! I would absolutely recommend them!

I would highly recommend True Cuisine for your wedding catering needs. It was very easy to work with Meghann over the phone and via email for all the initial questions and menu choices, and then in person for our tasting. They were able to accommodate 5 of us for the tasting, and the food was all delicious. It was also nice that they were open to accommodating food allergies as several of our guests have them. Unfortunately, not too long after the tasting COVID came into the picture and my husband and I were forced to cancel our originally planned event and change to a small intimate affair which

We had True Cuisine cater our wedding last fall and it was amazing. We went to six different tastings and they by far had the best food and some of the best pricing, too. The food the day of our wedding was delicious. Several guests commented on how good it was (and not just good for wedding food, actually good). Lauren was great to work with during the planning and very organized. Overall it was a great experience and would definitely recommend them for any event.

We worked with True Cuisine for our wedding in February at the Bridgeport Art Center. We did tastings with a few different caterers and True was the only one that I felt had the quality of food that I'd return to a restaurant for. I loved that they offer some more rustic "comfort" foods that don't shy away from flavor -- none of the pretension or fussiness that often comes along with wedding food. Their team was great and Lauren (our main contact) was super responsive and helpful throughout. We'd highly recommend working with True Cuisine!

I cannot recommend working with True Cuisine more for your wedding or event! My wedding was October 26, 2019, and I could not have been more pleased with how everything went. I began looking at caterers in September of 2018. From the beginning, Meghann was helpful and accomodating. When she heard that I was returning to Alaska from Illinois in a few days, she quickly helped book a tasting so I could sample the catering options before I headed out of town. My dad and I were so impressed with the quality of the food and the service that we quickly booked with True Cuisine. Throughout the process

Lauren and True Cuisine were incredible to work with! Being an out of town Bride (living in Denver with our wedding in Chicago) Lauren and her team made it incredibly easy to communicate with and plan our wedding. Everything from our menu tasting to the timeline to the day-of details was perfect. As someone with severe food allergies, Lauren and her team made sure that I could actually eat the food and it still tasted good for our guests. I am so appreciative of all the small details they put into making sure our day was perfect and up to our expectations. Even coordinating with our vendors was
