Awarded Best of Zola
We chose Embelished on a recommendation of someone who had used them, and other reviews. We had no idea how great they would be. I had been in the catering business in the Midwest for over 25 years, and Embelished exceeded our expectations in every way. Phone conversation were great, and follow ups returned promptly. While my daughter and fiancé were the only ones at the tasting, they came back thrilled. Wedding day, the team showed up right on time, set up outdoor chairs and began doing place settings. They worked with serving walk around plates of hors d’oeuvres, plus a charcuterie board during family photos. The meal of beef tenderloin and lemon chicken were fantastic. They supplied EVERYTHING WE NEEDED. The staff was friendly, helpful and left the kitchen used cleaner than when they arrived. I highly recommend Embelished.

Our focus is on only 1 - 2 weddings a week with an average of 100 guests. We prefer to do limit our weddings so we can spend more quality time focusing on our clients.

Catering by Robert/ Event Concepts is a fantastic choice to make for both a caterer and wedding/event planner. Very very highly recommend this company. Susan and her staff are great, they took our dream wedding vision and made it a reality for us! Not only did Susan assist with planning throughout the entire time prior to our wedding, including a menu tasting and a design. consultation, she made our actual wedding day a dream come true! Susan was able to take all of our visions and make it come together beautifully and flawlessly. The decor was perfect and the food was delicious. Our guests raved about the presentation and the taste of the food. Susan and her team also cleaned up, packed up and put away all of left overs. I definitely recommend Catering by Robert, they are professional and know what they’re doing, they will make your dreams come true! Susan’s team absolutely NAILED what we asked for and exceeded every expectation. Susan quickly and professionally replied to any and all communication from me and always put me at ease. She asked all the right questions so she could be sure to give us exactly what we wanted; She gave advice and offered solutions to problems that we didn't even know we had. On the day of our wedding, Susan assigned an amazing young woman to be my "assistant" for literally any and everything I could ask for. The food was so incredible! I have guests asking me for the catering company’s contact info for future events. A bonus that Susan offers is we were able to get all table linens, cloth napkins, plates, etc. and A TON of decor from them just made everything that much easier when it came to coordinating the whole event, especially on the big day. Every single person on her team that we encountered seemed so nice and professional and happy to be helping our event run smoothly. I'm so grateful that we were able to have this company for our wedding, thank you all soooo much!!! Our wedding kicked butt because of all your hard work.
