Seed Sprout Spoon

Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)

Serves Carlinville, IL

We are an owner-operated boutique catering & events company dedicated to local ingredients and sustainable event production. This simple tenet is a hardy root which has diverse branches: our food is fresher, seasonal, and best-tasting; we have a dedicated staff whom we pay a living wage; we support other small local businesses; dollars you spend stay in our local economy. Our event displays marry upcycled & vintage elements with live botanical arrangements. We limit the extreme waste of event catering by composting and recycling at home & off-site. We seek to serve well: both our customers & their guests, our community & our planet.

“Having great food was my husband's number one priority for the wedding. We happen to be vegan and unfortunately if you filter by that here you can see that what many caterer's mean by "we offer vegan food" is "we will make a plate of spaghetti with nothing else for your one vegan guest" and that is the opposite of what we got with Seed Sprout and Spoon. They went above and beyond with our menu! They sent us their menu and we were able to work with them to alter dishes that fit our needs. They can do buffet or plated, we went with buffet because we only had a guest list of about 50 people. For cocktail hour we opted for a pretzel bar with four different dips. Our main meal was a nice hearty salad with fruit and nuts, a creamy polenta with bolognese made with Beyond meat, an absolutely delicious white (cashew cream) lasagna with kale, roasted asparagus, an eggplant/bell pepper caponata, and an assorted bread basket. For dessert we had a cake from another vendor but wanted additional dessert for people who aren't into cake and we went with some mini fruit tarts. Finally we also had our plates/glasses provided by them and they have a beautiful collection of mismatched tableware. Pretty much everyone went back for seconds and I don't think we had a single guest who we saw/spoke to over the next couple of days who didn't comment on how this was some of the best food they've ever had a wedding period. Not just good for vegan food but all around great!”

Whether you're having an informal outdoor gathering, an extravagant formal affair, or anything in between, Callier's Catering has just the right package for you!

“Callier's is outstanding! Due to Covid, my daughters wedding was changed 3 times -and we ended up having 50 guests for the reception in our backyard. Catherine and Abby were so kind and patient, helping us navigate through the details for each wedding change. When we decided to have the reception in our backyard, Catherine and Abby came to our house to look at our house setup to determine what they needed and talked me through all of the details. The reception dinner and backyard setup was beyond perfect! The food was absolutely delicious, and the table setup was beautiful. Catherine and Abby figured out all that we needed, ordered it for us, and set up the most beautiful dinner tables. They also setup a gorgeous champagne arrangement that awed the guests as they arrived. Everyone received appetizers, drink refills, salad and meals in a timely manner and the plating was gorgeous!! The staff was very attentive to our guests. Some of our guests told us they felt they were in a Hallmark movie! We cannot thank the Callier's staff, Catherine and Abby enough for everything they did to make our daughter's outdoor wedding a dream! Callier's provided outstanding personalized service, a friendly and attentive staff, truly delicious food and the dream team of Catherine and Abby to work with. I highly recommend Callier's and we cannot wait for them to cater our full out wedding reception that was postponed until next year!”

Based out of Saint Louis, MO, Salt + Smoke is a wedding catering company. A team of talented chefs creates delicious dishes inspired by authentic American and traditional barbecue cuisine.

“Salt and Smoke Catering did a fantastic job catering our small, intimate wedding. They were incredibly easy to work with throughout the planning process and very responsive to emails and calls, making sure we had all of our questions answered. The day-of, the food was a huge hit with our guests - everyone raved about how delicious it was! For a smaller guest count like ours, their prices were very reasonable and allowed us to serve high quality barbecue without breaking the bank. The meats were perfectly smoked and so flavorful, the sides like mac and cheese and coleslaw were tasty and fresh. Our guests are still telling us it's some of the best wedding food they've had. We'd highly recommend Salt and Smoke for your catering needs, especially if you want delicious yet affordable barbecue fare that your guests will love.”

“Hendri’s catered my October 2022 wedding—Dan was extremely helpful and walked me through the entire process of what to expect on the wedding day, what time services started, what type of supplies would be needed/they would provide. Day of, I chatted with the caterers off and on but they handled everything brilliantly and I could focus on the guests and having a great time. I got numerous compliments on how good the food was, my only regret was I didn’t start eating sooner before everyone else got to the food tables (weddings amiright?), but Erin still scrounged up extra spinach puffs just for me (respect).”
