Hidden gem

Tolia Foods

Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)

Starts at $500
Serves Wood River, 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.

“Tolia Foods was an amazing catering choice for my birthday. Chef Lauralie communication was punctual, fast, and sincere throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and value was exceptional - they are experienced caterers who provided a tasty variety of memorable dishes that left me and my guests amazed. I would highly recommend Tolia Foods and give them a 10 out of 10 rating. In fact, I wish I could give them a 6-star review!”

From start to finish, their work was elegant and precise—every plate looked beautiful, and the open bar ran without a hitch. What really impressed us was how they went above and beyond with our cake bar setup. Instead of leaving it for us to figure out, they cut all the cakes and packaged them into carry-out containers for our guests, which was such a thoughtful touch. We felt confident in their hands the entire day, and our guests couldn't stop talking about the food. Chic Chef Catering is absolutely worth it.”

Butter KC

Rating: 4.3 (4 reviews)

Serves Wood River, IL

Hey there! We’re Butter KC, a boutique catering brand in Kansas City, MO. We specialize in grazing tables, small bites, and totally custom menus—because no two events should be the same! We LOVE hearing your ideas and turning them into unforgettable food experiences. Whether it’s your dream wedding, a garden bridal shower, or a food festival for 2,000+, we’ve got you covered.

“The entire experience with Olive Co was top notch! We contacted Olivia a few months back and were able to snag them up to do our wedding reception. They delivered! I was blown away and so were my guests. It was everything we could of ever hoped for! I also have to say the communication was far beyond anything my other vendors provided. Olivia said she would be available anytime and my 11pm and sometimes 1 am texts always got responded to. She was on it, and I love her for giving me peace of mind. Not only did the food rock BUT I opted to do our own plates (I had a vision) and forgot them at the airbnb 40 minutes away from our venue. Olivia got in her emergency bag and saved the day! She also helped out other vendors on site who were late! I just can't say enough good things and can't wait to use Olive Co at our next event. Thank you Olivia Sherri for making our weddding a dream come true.”
