Chef Alexia has over twelve years in Chicago fine dining. Her passion for food started at the early age of thirteen. With a strong connection to her Italian and Hispanic heritage it gave her a true appreciation for the memories and connection food can bring to people. Appreciating the art of culinary is what brought her to hone her skills under the talented professionals of Mark Bolton, Gaetano Nardulli, and John and Karen Shields.
After moving from Chicago to West Michigan she fine-tuned her catering capabilities of creating delicious meals for large quantities of guests. Besides an obvious talent for food creation she also is a superb mixologist where she can lend her expertise to custom cocktails. Her overall creativity, hard work ethic, and love for curating delectable cuisines have proven to be an immense asset to the Être Family. We couldn’t be more excited to have such a knowledgeable, accomplished, and inventive Chef leading our culinary program.
Respecting food and creating experiences are what inspire her. She is thrilled to make your culinary dreams a reality!
On another note, don't miss out on her cooking classes she will be hosting!
To Be Elevated Fine Dining
We aren't the typical caterer. We believe food is an expression of who you are and how it's presented. If your looking for the old cafeteria buffet style, will that's not us.
Chef Lex has brought us into the high-technology world of cooking. She is creating a kitchen most restaurants can only dream of. You will be amazed at her abilities to bring 300 elevated hot entree's to your guests at once.
The beauty of seated dinners and plated meals is that couples are looking to take that concept to the next level and introduce this fine dinning to their guests. We see every dinner, set up as more of a unique experience, instead of a typical three-course meal. We expose guests to various elegant food options that most guests have never been able to experience. We want to bring back life to wedding reception food as more of a unique fine dining experience. Chef Lex works with our couples to create a custom menu that can not be recreated because they are personal to every couple. She will create two protein option entrees for your guests to choose from along with vegetarian and gluten-free options as alternatives for those guests on special diets.

Articles - Cigar Bar
Are you ready for the ultimate cigar and lounge experience?
We are ecstatic to Introduce Etre Farm’s newest addition: Articles Cigar Bar.
From the moment you take your first step into the lounge, you can expect only the best in terms of the atmosphere, sophistication, and a refined cigar selection. We believe that a fine cigar is a cherry on top of a perfect evening, and there is
no better place to do this than at Articles. With wall-to-floor artwork, televisions, and novels, you can kick back, unwind, and connect in our elevated lounge designed with sophistication and style in mind.
We pride ourselves on serving the finest selection of cigars and believe that every day is a celebration. Indeed, if this past year has taught us anything, it is that every day is a day to be celebrated. So don’t wait for a “special” occasion to pop the bubbly or smoke your favorite cigar.
If you need further persuasion, expert researchers at theUniversity of Michigan studying the effect of smoking on the human brain have shown that cigar smoke heightens the brain’s natural system of chemicals called endogenous opioids. These chemicals play a role in suppressing painful sensations, elevating positive emotions, and creating a sense of reward.
Proof that a fine cigar can help you to take a step back from the stressors of life.
There is no better feeling than the feeling you get when you enter a sophisticated lounge with sophisticated company, but the proof is in the pudding, as they say. The best way to find out is to check out Articles firsthand. Grab a few friends and head our way. Consult our expert staff and take a look at our selection. We are confident that you will want to return time after time.
We look forward to serving you.
To Be Blooms
Designing with a Passion
We have a vision and passion for floral artistry that goes beyond just duplicating a Pinterest image. We strive to turn your wedding into an event that will be admired and cherished for years to come.
Our experienced professional staff works with our in-house designer to create the personal and event pieces you’re dreaming of.
Our team can guide you towards a variety of different arrangements and are able to source flowers in the world.
"We are the artisans that fabricate your dreams into reality."
We believe every couple is unique. They each have their own vision and personality they want to showcase through florals.
Many couples look to us for floral budget, this can be hard to determine. Floral visions are as unique as each of our couples. Because of this, every wedding floral budget is unique.
Designers ask, How do you envision the event? What style inspires you? Are you drawn to more greenery? Do you have a favorite flower? Do you have an inspiration board to show us what you are more drawn to?
Again, these questions help us to allocate your budget accordingly to your must-haves.
As a general rule of thumb, 15-20% of overall wedding budget should be reserved for florals.
"We create personalized weddings for every couple's unique style."
