This included visiting the venue before the day to come up with a plan, showing up earlier then needed to set up, and staying a little later then scheduled.”

Jitterbug Sweets

Serves Riverdale, IL

Elevate your wedding celebration with Jitterbug Sweet's exquisite, hand-crafted chocolate-dipped confections. We specialize in creating visually stunning treats that taste as divine as they look. We have the option for custom flavors perfectly tailored to your unique love story.

“From start to finish it was an incredibly tasty process working with Jitterbug Sweets. My husband and I knew we wanted to do an alternative dessert bar for our guests and reached out to Jitterbug to begin the planning process. We started with a tasting of her many different types of chocolates and candies, deciding on different flavor and texture combos that would be allergy friendly, child friendly, and of course include our own favorites. After an hour of delicious decision making (hardest work lunch ever) we decided upon three different bites, one which Jitterbug Sweets designed especially for our wedding - a truffle featuring tart cherry cookie whipped ganache, dipped in dark. From there we determined quantity and delivery options. While we did an open buffet table, her treats would also make a great packaged gift option for guests. Overall, her treats were a hit with everyone at our reception. I'm glad we had the foresight to put a box aside for ourselves otherwise we would have been out of luck. Thank you Jitterbug for a great product and experience! Couldn't recommend her more.”

“My husband and I used Bartleby's for our wedding, and they were fantastic! W had tried their cakes prior to our wedding and loved them, so we knew we had to lock them in for desserts at our reception. We're both vegan, and were thrilled to find a vendor who made quality vegan desserts with a plethora of tasty options, with countless ways to mix and match flavors. Plus, how fun is ice cream cake?! Our guests loved it (it was entirely gone by the end of the evening!) and they also enjoyed the bonus ice cream sandwiches we also ordered from Bartleby's. The entire ordering process was super easy as well, from tasting all the way up until finalizing delivery.”

They provided a free cake tasting of 6 different flavors, was very easy to work with and was priced very well compared to others I looked at. Their cupcakes/ cakes were DELICIOUS!

Bon Appetit magazine called us “one of the most exciting bakeries in the country.” But you can literally just call us Milk Bar. We’re not big on feeding the hype beast. But we’re super into feeding our flavorful treats to those who crave the unexpected.

“Milk Bar is one of our favorites and we thought it would be great to have a special touch from them for guests at our wedding. We ordered lots of cookies as wedding favors, displaying them as a 'cookie wall' near the exits. The cookies were amazing, guests loved them as a sweet treat to end the night, and the packaging is quintessentially Milk Bar and looked beautiful on display! Working with the Milk Bar team to get everything ordered and delivered at exactly the right time was easy and we're really happy with the result! Would highly recommend Milk Bar!”

We love using fresh fruit and high quality raw ingredients to produce balanced flavors that have just the right amount of sweetness while retaining their natural, key-note taste; you and your family won't feel guilty going for a second slice, we promise.

“Nadiya created the most magical Harry Potter inspired wedding cake we could have dreamed of. From our first tasting to the final reveal, the entire experience felt thoughtful, creative and enchanting. She took every idea we shared and turned it into something far more beautiful than we imagined. The cake itself was pure magic. The hand painted Forbidden Forest, the white stag Patronus, the elegant gold detailing, the “Always” inscription and the Golden Snitch on top all came together so perfectly. It truly felt like a piece of the wizarding world brought to life in the most elegant way. On top of being stunning, the cake was completely gluten free for my allergy and still tasted absolutely incredible. Our guests were amazed that something so beautiful could also taste so good. People are still talking about it. Seeing the cake on our wedding day was a moment I will never forget. Nadiya’s talent, care and attention to detail made the entire experience unforgettable. We are so grateful for the magic she created and for giving us a cake that was meaningful, delicious and everything we hoped for. Thank you, Nadiya, for bringing our vision to life so perfectly.”
