TESTIMONIALS
"Excellent drinks with wonderful customer service! They are great to work with! They are very personable and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. I highly recommend them."
"It was such a pleasure working with Madison as our beverage caterer for our recent outdoor wedding. Madison is such a joy to work with, her bubbly personality and smile could light up any room! We received so many compliments on the beverages. JTB display matched our wedding style perfectly. Madison & Dustin work perfectly together serving our guests. Even our older typically domestic beer drinkers enjoyed the Rolling Meadows lager. The West of Wise blackberry sangria was also a huge hit! And the strawberry mojito was quite refreshing. I highly recommend Just the Basics for your beverage catering needs!"
"Great people and service! Highly recommend"
