Tolia Foods 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Carlinville, IL

Hi! I’m Chef Lauralie, and I believe every celebration deserves food that feels warm and meaningful. I’m not a traditional caterer — I offer personal chef services for couples who want an intimate, handcrafted experience for their wedding, engagement dinner, or special brunch. Inspired by my Congolese roots, I became a personal Chef to create beautiful, nourishing menus that bring people together and make your day feel stress-free, delicious, and uniquely you.

Working with Tolia Foods for my wedding shower party was a truly wonderful experience. From the very first conversation, Lauralie and her team were warm, cheerful and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the menu selection process. Their commitment to wellness-oriented, clean cooking was evident in every dish they prepared for our special day. We loved the fact that Lauralie really provided not only delicious food but her touch of clean ingredients really gave us a true farm to table experience! Additionally, we really enjoyed working with Lauralie - she is patient, genuinely caring and cheerful. The Tolia team went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. We are so grateful for their incredible service and highly recommend them to any couples looking for an exceptional chef-prepared food experience.

Hendri's Events 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Serves Carlinville, IL

Hendri’s is an Events, Party & Wedding Company that has been catering events in St. Louis, Missouri since 1971. Our friendly staff works with you to achieve your ideal event by creating the atmosphere you want in our space or the location of your choice. We are flexible and open to any suggestion ~ conventional to exceptional, casual to chic. Explore your options with us… our only limit is your imagination.

Truly a hidden gem! When we first went to tour the venue, we were a little uncertain from the front parking lot. The entrance is very unassuming. Do not let that deter you! Once you enter the hall you are greeted with a beautiful space! From the black and white floors, the amazingly ornate wooden bar along the dance floor, the lounge areas, the fireplace and the perfect mood lighting, the hall is an absolute dream! The staff is amazing from the beginning of planning until after your big day. Incredibly friendly, and responsive and just all around great to work with. Hendri’s also offers their own catering, and they provided a wonderful meal that was complimented by many of our guests throughout the night. Even if you have another venue, I would suggest checking out Hendri’s for catering as they also cater offsite. All in all, I cannot say enough good things about Hendri’s, and highly suggest checking them out!

  • Serves Carlinville, IL

Any catering company can provide food and staff, but it takes a dedicated team of individuals to make your event memorable, ensuring the utmost client fulfillment. Our guarantee to our clients is to always go above and beyond in whichever ways we can to make all events deliciously special for you.

We had a hard time deciding on a caterer for our wedding and we are SO glad that we chose to work with Chic Chef! Their team was helpful, responsive, and organized every step of the way. The day of our wedding? Incredible! They made sure that we were taken care of all day. They always say "You never eat on your wedding day" and that was not the case with Chic Chef. They made sure to bring us food and drinks all night, which we appreciated. Since our wedding, multiple guests have reached out to let us know that we had some of the best food they have ever had at a wedding. One guest even asked for their menu to try to recreate the food! Do yourself a favor and book Chic Chef!
