Hendri's Events

hing from florists, design ideas, color schemes ect. The food was the cherry on the cake because it was incredible!

ly the best wedding food I have ever had - we have been getting non-stop compliments about how amazing the food was. The bar is lovely and they have so many options - my guests were very pleased. The venue was beautiful and intimate while being spacious - they even put my decorations up for me and set the tables (which a stressed bride really appreciated) and they did an amazing job. I was so so grateful for the care they took with our wedding. We cannot recommend Hendri's enough - I would give them 10 stars if possible. They truly helped make our wedding the most amazing day of our lives.

If I am ever in the need of a caterer again, Hendri's would be my first (and most likely only) call!

hind and needed some assistance, without asking, his staff helped the other vendor and made things go even more smoothly. Thank you to them; they really went above and beyond.

ned out so good! I worked with Dan (the coordinator for Hendri's) and he made the process much easier. We emailed back and forth quite a bit and he was always on top of answering emails and working with us on different things for the reception. We were able to request certain alcohol to be available (they only do open bar) for the night; we even brought in our own keg. Once it got closer we did run into a few snags. We did not know who was to be in charge the day of our wedding, we were told we would have two bartenders and we only had one working at a time; which cause a line to form and people had to wait to get drinks and the centerpieces were not done exactly as was requested. When we came to get our stuff the next day (they politely offered us till Monday to pick it up and we had a Friday wedding), the person who was there did not know everything that needed to go. One last thing, they had us bring our stuff in a week in advance because Hendri's actually sets everything up; which could be bad or good depending on what you want.

our event at the Butterfly House on July 04, 2015. I would recommend Hendri's for all catering events. Thank you again!!!

t our vision in mind with the menu and service. They even brought us the tablecloths a day early and offered to set up our centerpieces, which was a big help. We had so many compliments on the food, and no one left hungry!

ndri's has one banquet room. That being said, we had our ceremony and reception in one room with the guests already seated at their tables. I was extremely nervous about this setup, but to our surprise we received numerous positive remarks from our guests. They absolutely loved being in one location and not having to deal with the hassle of finding their way to the reception. We only had about 150 guests and I wouldn't go over 160. FOOD: Now on to the food. We had heard that Hendri's had good food, but we did not taste test beforehand. When choosing the menu for the evening, there were many items to pick from. Dan was very flexible and accommodated our preferences. Although I could not eat that night (because of my nerves going crazy), everyone LOVED the food. We chose the roast beef and chicken with white wine and capers for the meat. Our sides were, roasted red potatoes and sweet potatoes and broccoli, along with their house salad. We could not have been more pleased with the food. We did not have alcohol at our wedding so I cannot comment on the bar. However, we had soft drinks and the bar service was great. STAFF AT HENDRI'S: Dan was wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. There were times in which I was frustrated with him, just because of uncertainties he had; He just could not give me a straight up answer sometimes, but other than that it was a great experience. Mara was the one we worked with during our rehearsal and the wedding day and she was very accommodating to our needs. They also provided the flatware, glasses, table clothes, plates, and some of the table decorations. It was great to have a venue that provided the location, some decorations, and catering because it just made things so much easier for us. THE BANQUET ROOM: Do not be scared away by the outside of the building or the location. When my husband and I first visited Hendri's, my first thought was, why did we drive all the way down here for this? However, when we walked inside we were pleasantly surprised. The beautiful woodwork, brick wall, and lighting added the perfect touch to our pictures. Because we got married in December, they had a Christmas tree set up too. This also added a nice touch.

remony to reception and beyond. 5 stars for sure. Got endless compliments on the environment as well as the food. Can't go wrong with Hendri's.

etting the menu. He was always nice when we met though and made my job a lot easier. We paid a little more to have the water service, and it was definitely worth it. We even seemed to have a woman who was just in charge of the head table since she was there so much checking on us. My grandmother brought her own wine and the bartenders remembered her every time. She didn't even have to ask. Overall, we would definitely recommend Hendri's.

them 4.5 instead of 4 if that were an option. We had stationary appetizers and a buffet dinner. Everyone thought the food was great. I, as the bride, of course hardly ate any, but what I did eat was good!

reat the stuffed chicken and roast beef were! They even made me a signature drink free of charge! They were fantastic and I'll be using them again! Thank you for everything Hendri's! :)

response time on e-mail, doesn't copy appropriate contacts, etc. I was also not pleased that they let the cake table empty, without ever cutting the full bottom layer of my cake. So in other words there were people who didn't get cake, but there was a full sheet cake sitting in the back that never was cut and served. I also sprung for a late night "hot dog bar" for guests. This would have been really neat, but the caterers never alerted the DJ to make an announcement when the hot dogs were served. So instead when the DJ finally caught wind of the hot dog bar and made an announcement, the caterers had already taken them back to the kitchen. We paid a few hundred dollars for hot dogs that no one really knew about. Pretty frustrating. All in all, I would recommend Hendri's based on food and price. Just be prepared to over communicate and reinforce instructions for serving dessert, etc.

n willing to lend a hand.

e the warm and inviting atmosphere I wanted for my guests. The additional touches I added with Fall decorations just pushed it over the edge to perfection. I have to admit, when I first drove up to the building I was a little nervous because the outside, although quaint and clean, did not look like much. When I walked into the hall, I was in love! Everyone from Dan, to Mara and Maria, and the staff who worked the night of the reception, were unbelievable! There was not one question unanswered, not one idea dismissed, not one suggestion ignored. On the contrary, they offered so much assistance that my stress level about the execution of the ideas was little to none. When I mentioned I wanted to display my beloved grandma's wedding dress and that I was having a hard time finding a dress form, Mara came to my rescue. She not only let me borrow one of hers, but let me take it to the church as well. I met with Maria on the Wednesday before my wedding to drop off the decorations and she basically said, "Don't you worry about a thing. We will take care of the rest." They did all of the decorating and the room was a vision....BEAUTIFUL! During the evening, there wasn't one thing I needed, as the staff continually approached me to see if I was OK and ask if I needed anything. My husband told them in passing, during the planning stage, that I like O'Fallon Pumpkin Ale. During my first trip to the bar, I was presented with an ice-cold Pumpkin Ale. The little things attended to by the owners and staff of Hendri's all added up to a night my husband and I will never forget.

o go as planned. Dan and his wife were wonderful to work with and the setup process was painless. So accomodating and personable.

e literally the reason I needed a venue that let outside catering come in, SO worth it!!

. We didn't have to compete with other weddings or parties, so our music wasn't overpowering for the evening. The gas fireplace is wonderful and a nice focal point of the room. My dad and his friends posted themselves at the bar that uses glasses, not plastic cups. The black and ivory checkered floor goes well with any decor, along with their black and ivory linen options. They recently started offering black chair covers with ivory bows at an extra cost of $1 per chair. The china was also a must for my parents, husband, and myself. Dan and Marla (the owners) are absolutely wonderful to work with and easy to contact. We visited the location several times during our two year engagement. Dan came up with various ideas for us to use to make our night special and unique. He suggested we bring in Gus' pretzles for our guests to munch on before leaving and they allowed us to bring in our own lamb (another Bosnian tradition), yet serve it for us on the buffet line with the other 2 meat options. They allowed us to bring in my dad's favorite scotch to serve only to him. They even placed all of our decor on the tables (besides the flowers) and boxed everything up at the end of the evening and allowed my mother to pick it up the Monday after our wedding. Finally, the women's restroom completely sold me on the venue as it is not your typical 3 stall restroom. The women's restroom branches off into 3 individuals rooms with its own toilet and sink, so it was easy for me (the bride) to use the restroom because I didn't have to cram myself, a dress, and my friends to hold the dress in one stall.
