    Redbook Events

    We just got married July 8th and let me tell you, I have zero regrets for going with Redbook Events. Their whole team was amazing! The food was just as amazing as it was at our tasting and we still have people commenting about how tasty it was! The bartender was personable and the drinks were 10/10. Adriana was a saint and a life saver! She kept us on track, coordinated beautifully and brought our dreams to reality! My husband and I forgot our dinner plates at our home (2 hours away) and we hadn’t realized until I was on my way to the ceremony! I called Adriana and she fixed the issue immediately.
    The servers were on top of everything and nobody went without.
    The entire event was a hit and everyone, wedding party and guests enjoyed it!

    The only complaint we have is that the night ended! Undoubtedly if we have another event that needs catered or coordinated we will be going back to Redbook.

    Thank you to your whole team!

    Red Book Chef's reply:

    Kristina, thank you for choosing RedBook Events for your wedding day! We're delighted that our team made a positive impression on you and your guests. It's fantastic to hear that the food and drinks were a hit and that Adriana ensured everything ran smoothly. We appreciate your kind words and would be honored to cater and coordinate future events for you.

    Wide Variety and Good Value for Intimate Weddings

    Super responsive, and accommodating. We fed vegans, meat and potatoes types, foodies, kids, people with wheat/onion allergies and received glowing reviews from all of our guests. Service was excellent despite the fact they were short-staffed due to COVID-running at 65% of plan.

    It was 31$ per each of the 50 adult meals and $8.50 for each of 14 kids meals. Service cost is separate and in various types so is your decision for place settings. We chose family style to avoid lines/compulsion to have items/seat chosen

    Callie was super helpful in helping us plan the best decor that suited our vision for table layout. We were able to test the menu and select from a wide range of options. Like the best merchants, they give you room to decide and take your time to decide if they are the best match for you. I took a few weeks to decide.

    It is good they let you buy the alcohol for the event yourself as our taste was different from theirs, even if the type of wine was correct. Test any suggestions; the best wine for you is the one you enjoy.

    Red Book Chef's reply:

    Thank you so much for choosing RedBook Events as your caterer, Alice! We are so glad to hear that you were happy with the food and service, and that we were able to accommodate all of your guests' dietary needs.

    It was a pleasure working with you and we appreciate your business. Thank you again for choosing us and please don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything else we can do for you for a future event.

    Top Notch Vendor

    From the very get-go, we knew we were in good hands with Red Book Chef! Adriana, Joe, and the RBC team were so incredibly helpful, flexible, and innovative when it came to our planning our big day. From their level of expertise and professionalism to their amazing cocktails to their stunning table-scapes, we appreciated every detail that went into it. What we loved most about RBC was that they were a one-stop-shop for all of our wedding needs. If you’re looking for a vendor who can cater your wedding, do bar service, coordinate your wedding, and handle your rentals, RBC is the one for you!

    Red Book Chef's reply:

    Hi Jacy, thank you so much for your review! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed our "one-stop-shop" experience. It's our goal to make sure that everyone enjoys the same level of expertise and professionalism, every single time. Your feedback makes all the difference. We're always here for you, please contact us anytime. Thanks again!

    Flexibility and Care

    Red Book Chef made us feel calm and taken care of from the beginning. We had spoken with several caterers prior, and Red Book Chef brought an incredible energy and flexibility that couldn’t be matched by others. We also made the decision to postpone our date from 2020, and even made some minor adjustments as we approached the new date, and they were so easy, flexible, and understanding to work with (and the food was awesome, highly recommended the donut station if you can).

    Red Book Chef's reply:

    Clarissa, thank you so much for leaving us a 5-star review! We're happy to hear you had a great experience with Red Book Chef. Your opinion means a lot to us. Please let us know if we can help you with anything in the future. Thank you for your business, and thank you again for your review!

    Hire Red Book Chef for your wedding or event!

    Red Book Chef was recommended by our amazing wedding planner and we couldn't be happier. Adriana worked with us to develop our brunch menu and even customized a few of their options to match our tastes. She was very responsive to several questions, and helped recommend the best wines to match with their mimosa and sangria mixers. The tasting was so great and the team was very interested in getting our feedback and ready to make adjustments (none were needed!). The service was awesome; the bartender and wait staff were very attentive and professional. We received a ton of compliments on the food from our guests as well.

    Red Book Chef's reply:

    Sarah, thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience with Red Book Chef! Our business is all about people and the biggest compliments we receive always highlight our commitment to customer service. Your opinion is very important to us. Feedback that we receive really does help to point us in the right direction. We hope to become one of your favorites. For now, don't forget that we are here if you need anything. Thanks again!

    Perfection

    This is by far the best catering company ever. Adriana completely knocked it out of the park! I just told her what we wanted and she brought it to life, and was able to stay in my budget! Super friendly staff and fantastic food! Had lots of compliments from guests! I would give them a perfect 10! Thank you for making my daughters wedding incredible!

    5 Star Service and Attention

    We hired Adriana and her team for the rehearsal boat event on Lake Austin and the wedding at Villa Antonia and I can say nothing but amazing things. She is professional, energetic, dependable, hard working, detail oriented and works to make everything seamless for your perfect day. I mostly loved how she managed the day of the events. Everyone felt so comfortable as she guided the entire wedding party, and provided personal attention through the process on the day of the event. Our venue and the surrounding region even lost power for a few hours and the staff didn't miss a beat. The venue was beautiful, the food delicious, and the wedding was magical. Even though we had her for only the weekend, we felt like she had planned the entire event. Thank you Adriana for such a beautiful weekend for my son and daughter in law.

    Red Book Chef's reply:

    Thank you, Tammy, for choosing RedBook Events to help make your wedding dreams a reality! We are so happy that you enjoyed working with Adriana and her team. It brings us great joy to know that we were able to contribute to making your day perfect. We hope to work with you again in the future!

    Hats off to the Red Book Chef!

    We had such a great experience working with Adriana and the team at Red Book. We selected them to cater our wedding, and had such a great experience at our tasting that we also asked Adriana to be our day-of coordinator. Red Book helped us design our perfect brunch wedding menu, and helped us reimagine the seasonal touches on the menu when our wedding moved from spring to fall due to COVID. Our guest loved the food and the Red Book team, and Adriana helped the day go off without a hitch - we cannot thank them enough!

    Red Book Chef's reply:

    WOW! We're thrilled to hear about your great experience with Red Book Chef, Peter. Thank you for reaching out. We couldn't ask for a better compliment. It lets us know that our commitment to superior services is really working. Your feedback makes a big difference for our company and helps us make the right decisions moving forward. It's been our pleasure and we hope to see you soon. Until then, we're always close by if you need anything at all. You're a rockstar! Thank you!

    Redbook Created a Wonderful Wedding

    I can’t say enough about Adriana and her staff. They catered and provided flowers and they were both exquisite. Guests and vendors raved about both. They made the whole process a joy!!

    Personable!

    Red Book Chef was so easy to talk to and created a personal menu for us by tweaking what they offered on their menu. *They actually understand Celiac Disease* and how serious it needs to be taken unlike other places I looked at where they didn't act as confident or uneducated on how easily gluten transfers. They were a blessing to work with during the worst part of COVID, and they came and interacted with us during the wedding like a guest! And oh my goodness the bartender. I had to post our signature drink ingredients on my facebook because EVERYONE asked what it was and how to make it.

    Red Book Chef's reply:

    Haley, we're touching base to express how grateful we are for your amazing review. Thank you! It's rewarding to know that our daily commitment to superior service has made an impact with you. We are so glad you had such a great experience. We place a lot of importance on your feedback to keep us on track. It's been our pleasure and we hope to see you soon. Until then, we're always close by if you need anything at all. You are awesome!

    Delicious and beyond!

    The food at my reception was to die for! Soooo many guests asked me if I could share their contact information because they had never had such great wedding food! Adriana and her husband were a delight to work with. The food options, the option to customize, the food tasting.. Everything was great with them! Truly awesome people :)

    Red Book Chef's reply:

    Chris!! Thank you so much for such a sweet review!! I cannot tell you enough what a joy it was to serve you, your friends and family. Everyone was so sweet and respectful and MAN CAN THEY DANCE! We wish nothing but great things for you and Karl!

    Outstanding and Delicious

    Adriana and Joe were such a pleasure to work with! They are so sweet. We used them for both catering and bartending services. We loved our food and drinks! Their fajitas with fresh homemade tortillas and guacamole served at our wedding were divine. We have heard great things from the guests, especially about the empanadas served during cocktail hour.

    RBC is simply the best!

    There’s not enough I can say about Adriana and the RBC team! They were beyond incredible! I tried several different caterers and was so disappointed by the food. Adriana can COOK! Her food is so flavorful and the meats are juicy and delicious! She is so flexible and willing to work with every request you have no matter how big! She’s also so knowledgeable that she can really guide you on things that you may not have even thought of. I used RBC for catering and wedding coordination services and I knew the day of that I had NOTHING to worry about. My guests went on and on about how wonderful and kind and gracious and over-the-top accommodating Adriana and her team were. The bartender really made it a fun night for the guests. They were organized and paid attention to the little details! They are selfless with their time and willing to do whatever it takes to give you the wedding of their dreams. Makes me want to host a party JUST so I can ask them to cater. They are simply the best!

    Red Book Chef's reply:

    Erin, thank you for your review! I cannot thank you enough for having me as your coordinator. You were such a lovely bride to work for and wow what an amazing group of family and friends you all have! I had so much fun helping you plan and making sure all went well that evening. Congrats again!

    Delicious and Dependable!

    I couldn’t have been more pleased with RedBookChef catering. We first met the owners at the bridal extravaganza. The tasting that they provided as a sample was the freshest and tastiest at the whole event! Fast forward to the tasting and my daughter’s reception and it only got better! The happy couple loved the tasting session and was pleased with the service they received. They felt as if they were listened to had everything customized for them. The reception proved to be amazing. The staff was the ultimate in professionalism. Each were punctual, personable, clean, dependable, friendly and they went above and beyond to make sure everything went well throughout the reception. I think we ended up finding about twelve business cards to give to our friends that night! Absolutely the best experience ever!

    We could not have been happier with our services from RedBookChef. Joe and Adriana were an absolute dream to work with. From planning an coordinating our menu and services, to helping out on the day of, I could not have picked anyone else I'd rather have helped on our wedding day. Their bartending services were at our wedding as well, and all of their servers/bartenders were amazing to work with. And the best part, of course, was that their food was amazing! I can't recommend them enough

    We selected RedBookChef Catering to provided catering and bartending for our daughter’s wedding on 11/17/2017. Adrianna and Joe were very professional, accommodating, and client centric throughout the planning process. Adrianna is a talented chef and she put together a wonderful Fall menu that was both delicious and appealing to all our guest. Their entire team were incredibly professional and attentive during the event. They successfully executed my daughters vision of how she wanted the tables arranged and decorated. We could not have asked for more and are so grateful for their help in making Lauren and Alex’s wedding day an event to remember. RedBookChef Catering was excellent to work with and we highly recommend them to anyone who wants delicious food with a smile, they are a first-class team!

    Adriana and her team were a joy to work with. They have so many things that they provide, preventing the need to book multiple vendors. Adriana took my concept of BBQ with a twist and came up with an amazing menu that we still talk about today. I gave her my budget (which wasn’t a lot) and I came away with a 5 star meal.

    I couldn't be happier with Red book's fantastic service and food! Most of all their overall efficiency and smoothe rhythm really gave us the greatest night!
