Exceeded Expectations
If you want to remove stress from your wedding planning call 31 North and let Bernice and her team work do their job. 5 STARS all around and this is coming from someone that was extremely concerned (borderline paranoid). I needlessly lost sleep. Bernice, Amanda and the entire 31 North team just blew us away with their service, attention to details and quality of food. Every "I" was dotted. Every "T" was crossed. Every promise was met. The wedding was at an off-site venue without a kitchen. The food had to be delivered 20 miles. This isn't easy. They achieved what I thought was impossible. Despite the logistical travel obstacles everything was exceptional at ALL levels - grazing table, cold hors d'oeuvres, hot hors d'oeuvres, salad, filet, chicken, sides, desserts and the late night taco bar. Words can't begin to explain our level of satisfaction. I had several people tell me "best wedding food I've ever." The bar service was outstanding as well. The team even delivered on a last minute request from the Bride to have a Signature Drink. Since the groom is from San Diego, we had several Californian's in attendance. The team delivered on having the Groom's Signature Drink with an IPA from So Cal. Again, kudos to the 31 North team. You played a big part in a magical wedding day.
Sincerely, Dan Ritchie -

I just have to say we had our wedding here at 31 North on September 9th 2022 and we had an amazing time. Everyone that came said this was one of the best weddings we have ever been to. Everyone said the food was out of this world. The team that was there that night was Tina’s team they all were amazing on top it all night. Her team made sure we had what we needed and was amazing. We will definitely hold a event here again in the future. Bernice thank you and Tina’s team for making our night magical. See u in the future..
thank you again The Egan’s -

I got married Saturday August 20th, 2022 and we had our reception at 31 North Banquets and Catering. All the staff were extremely attentive and made sure everything went perfect for us that night. The ballroom was set up perfectly and everybody were telling us how amazing the food was from the appetizers to our dinner! We couldn't of picked a better banquet hall to hold our wedding reception and our day went without a hitch! Thank you to everybody at 31 North!! -

I cannot say enough about 31 North. My daughter had her wedding reception here and from start to finish it was a fabulous experience. The staff is phenomenal. They are quick to get back to you when you contact them, and they answer all of your questions. The evening itself was amazing! The food was fantastic. They worked with us for special dietary needs. They made everything so easy. They added many little touches to make the night special for my daughter and her new husband. If you need a wedding venue near McHenry, I would check on this one first. You won't be sorry. I will be happy to recommend it to anyone for their special event. Thank you, 31 North!

We had a wonderful experience working with 31 North for our wedding at Ethereal Confections in Woodstock! Bernice was very responsive and accommodated the many changes we made to our menu over the year or so we worked with her. Our tasting was great and allowed us to try everything before we finalized our menu, which included switching one of our entrees after tasting their cranberry brie stuffed chicken which was my favorite thing I tasted (at the tasting and on our wedding day!). We’ve received many compliments from our guests on the food. The waitstaff was also wonderful and got all the food out quickly and efficiently. We had a plated dinner, so timing was very important.
My only complaint is that we didn’t get the variety of desserts we wanted on the dessert table and had brownies, which we specifically said not to have on the dessert table as we did not like them at the tasting. The desserts were the most important thing to me, so I was a bit disappointed (but not disappointed enough to take a star away or anything). However, the cheesecake bites are one of the best desserts I’ve ever tried, and the chocolate covered strawberries were so delicious! -

Bernice & Jim are such genuine and sweet people. Having to reschedule your wedding due to a pandemic is NOT fun. I must note - the payments were not refundable - but they are really do work with you to make the best of the $ already paid. My wedding went from 200 to 50 people - but they catered my Bridal Shower, Thanksgiving, and my wedding with the deposit that I already paid. Wedding dinner was by far most favorite meal if of the orders we placed. EVERYTHING was delicious. Beef Medallions and Herb Crusted Chicken SOOOO GOOOD! Thank you for adding the memorable dinner to our wedding! -

Having 31 North as our caterers was absolutely amazing! The food was the absolute best and still piping hot when we were served. They had the staff available to hire and we ended hiring the bartenders and the servers through them ( was applied to the contract and we didn't have to hire a separate company for that which saved us a lot of time) prices for all the food that we had ordered and the servers was also fairly priced. -
