Kitchenina

Hiring Kitchenina as our wedding caterer was the best decision we could have made. Their service exceeded all our expectations and truly deserves a five-star rating! From our very first interaction, Aliki was incredibly responsive and made me feel at ease. We knew we could trust them, and they certainly did not disappoint. The entire Kitchenina team came ready to work and provided exceptional service. They were dedicated to ensuring that our experience was seamless, and we never felt like just another paycheck. Their attention to our guests was outstanding, treating everyone with the utmost respect while maintaining their signature style. In our community, dessert and tea play a significant role in the celebration. Kitchenina went above and beyond to ensure hot water was available and collaborated with our parents to ensure everything went smoothly. This level of attentiveness showed that they truly listen to their clients and value every detail. The food was simply delicious! The groom can't stop raving about the tri-tip—it was just as perfect as it was during the tasting. Working with Kitchenina was a breeze. They genuinely care about you from the initial booking through the event itself. I felt no need to follow up; I trusted the team completely, and they delivered beyond our expectations. Choosing Kitchenina is a decision you will not regret!

Aliki and Kostas did an excellent job catering our wedding! Aliki is a prompt communicator and very willing to answer questions, and since we are not local to the Bay Area, she made an effort to fit us into her schedule for a tasting outside normal hours when we were in the area, which we really appreciated. Kostas is an excellent chef across a variety of cuisines and styles, and every dish we had at our wedding was excellent, and in many cases even better than the samples we tried at our tasting! The Kitchenina staff also did a great job setting up our reception, and the result was visually even better than we had imagined. The event staff was also great, and made sure we were well fed and taken care of throughout the evening. One small thing for other couples to know is that Kitchenina charges fees for things like tastings and vendor walkthroughs (even when required by the venue), when some of the other caterers we spoke to do not. These fees are quite reasonable and Kitchenina's overall service fees and costs are considerably lower than most other caterers at their level of quality, so it was not a problem for us at all, but hopefully good information for others so there are no surprises later on. We're very glad we hired Kitchenina for our wedding and would happily recommend them to other couples!

It was great to work with Aliki and her team to cater our casual wedding reception party. Communication is key to ensure things go smoothly and I was very impressed with the communications and professionalism. She helped me think through the options for passed appetizers to ensure we had a good balance and options for the various dietary restrictions. (We had lots of tasty savory items.) She communicated well with the event space manager and made sure things went well behind the scenes on the night of event. After the event I noticed that a special cake serving spatula that I brought with me had been accidentally packed away with their catering items. They promptly sent it back to me once I notified them. Aliki and her team met and exceed expectations and I recommend them.

Kitchenina is a dream to work with. Aliki is so responsive, kind, and flexible. She was also extremely knowledgeable about our venue and answered so many questions for me. Her husband is the chef and he is so beyond talented and kind. They are a wonderful small business it was a please getting to know them and working with them. I would recommend them any day!!!

Aliki and Kostas were an absolute dream to work with. Their outstanding reputation preceded them, so we felt confident from the start. Right from our first interaction, they were incredibly communicative and promptly scheduled a tasting, even though our wedding was over a year away. The tasting was exceptional—the food was so delicious that we wanted to include everything on our dinner menu! With Chef Kostas's expert guidance, we finalized our selections. As the wedding approached, I realized that our menu featured a mix of different cuisines, and I wanted to streamline it to focus on one. We had also initially chosen a buffet-style dinner, but after a venue walkthrough, it became clear that there wasn't enough space. Just a month before the wedding, we decided to change both the dinner service style and the menu. Kostas and Aliki were incredibly accommodating, understanding, and helpful during this transition, with Kostas offering excellent suggestions for the revised menu. On the day of the wedding, Kostas and Aliki went above and beyond, personally serving us at the sweetheart table. The food was divine—I still dream about the risotto! My brother and several guests made a point to tell us how much they loved the food throughout the evening. When we ran out of alcohol shortly after the cocktail hour, they even sent someone to buy more, seamlessly handling the situation without missing a beat. Everything was flawless, and the food was simply unforgettable. I cannot recommend Aliki and Kostas highly enough. Thank you both for making our day so special!

I had a fantastic experience with Kitchenina catering for my son's first birthday. The delivery was punctual, and the food arrived hot and ready to serve. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the meals, and the quantity was generous enough to have leftovers. A big thank you to them for making my son's birthday celebration a success with their outstanding service and delicious food.

Kitchenina catered our 110 person wedding this past June in San Francisco. The Kitchenina team we worked with the day of was professional, friendly, and well ran. In the lead up to the wedding working with Aliki was extremely easy, professional, and carefree which was a relief and gave us quite a bit of peace of mind throughout the entire process. We also met Aliki's husband during a delicious tasting session before the wedding which was in Redwood City. We both rented various dishes, silverware, and decor from Kitchenina as well as doing appateizers and mains for food. Logistically all the dishes/silverware and looked as we expected and were all correctly set up for all our guests. The food was delicious! There were so many options/variety that we were able to choose from and everything turned out delicious. There was plenty of food for the guests and seconds for those that wanted it. I can't say enough great things about Kitchenina and would highly recommend them for any catering need you have!

Kitchenina's team was friendly, fun and professional and the food delicious at our backyard wedding. Everyone LOVED the food and service, and asked us who is this caterer?! The staff seemed to fade into the background and then show up with something yummy just at the right moment. Thank you Alikia and Kostas and the entire team for making our backyard wedding dreams come true! You helped create a vibe that was like a massive fun dinner party with the people we love, just how we wanted it. The hummus meatballs were so good they were all gone by the time the after party wrapped at 3am.

From the first call, we knew that working with Aliki would be a breeze. She was thorough in explaining her company's services and transparent about her fees and what they are unable to do. This gave me and my fiancé a clearer vision as to what to expect from her and her team. Kostas' cooking is beyond delicious and the variety they can provide is insane. We were able to provide a variety of options for our guests, especially those with food sensitivities. Her team were very attentive and professional and everyone loved the food! 5 stars all around! We are so glad we chose them for our wedding!

Kitchenina catered our wedding earlier this month, and they knocked it out of the park! The food was delicious, and the service was spectacular. We got compliments all night on how delicious the food was. It was also easy to put together a selection (we served dinner buffet style) that had plenty of vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free options. We saw several guests go back for seconds, including one of our vegan guests. Even before the event, Kostas and Aliki were incredibly helpful. They helped us settle on our menu and gave us other pointers and tips to make our day go smoothly. In addition to the meal, they also set up our dessert table (we rented dessert stands from them). We would highly recommend them for any and all events.

After contacting probably a dozen caterers we chose to go with Kitchenina for our happily ever after party and couldn’t be happier! We had a party of ~100 people in our back yard and after we chose the food, they hooked us up with chair, table and bar rental as well as a bartender for the party. Aliki and her husband (and the staff) were very easy to work with and responsive to our questions and request and very easy to work with. Literally couldn’t be happier with how the food and service turned out! I looked around when I was done with my plate and every single person had cleaned their plate and was offered second portions (although most people were already full from apps and the dinner!) we had some many people taking for days about how great this or that food was, and a couple people even came up to me and said “It’s very rare you have food this good at a wedding” Vern pleased. You will not go wrong hiring Kitchenina

Our wedding was travel-themed, and the Kitchenina team had the repertoire to deliver. Having traveled themselves, they understood the importance of variety and quality, and there was something for everyone at the wedding. What sealed the deal for us was (1) their professionalism and (2) the taste. We really appreciated all their hard work and accommodations in the process and send our sincere thanks to Chef Konstantine and Aliki!

Kitchenia was incredible! Such attentive and organized staff. Kitchenia offered an intimate tasting and showcased their delicious dishes. It was easy to pick a menu. On the catering side they took care of every detail leaving us to enjoy our special day.

We used Kitchenina this past weekend to cater my son's and daughter-in-law's wedding and I highly recommend them. The food was amazing, the staff professional, the value excellent and whole experience just wonderful. They provide so many varied menu options and are so easy to work with. I would definitely use them again.

TLDR: Aliki, Kostas, and the entire Kitchenina crew were incredible to work with. They were communicative, efficient, and alleviated so much stress before and during the day, and most importantly, the food was amazing!!! We started working with Aliki and Kostas almost a year before our wedding. We didn’t love any of the vendors on our venue's preferred list so we went looking for better and found Kitchenina. Our first experience with them was a tasting that was basically a 5 course meal. We got to try multiple appetizers, side dishes, entrees, and a salad. Needless to say, it was delicious. I keep asking Kostas if he will bottle the sauce he used for the salmon so I can buy it. On the day of our wedding their team was amazing. They transformed an empty museum exhibit hall into our reception dinner in less than 2 hours, setting up 19 tables, 2 buffets, 2 bars, and a sweetheart table. All 190 guests had been served and finished eating in less than an hour. We never had to worry about a single thing on the day, if anything came up, we never noticed and they didn’t tell us haha. The food was so good we were excited to eat the leftovers for the next week! We also were purchasing our own alcohol for the reception and Aliki let us ask her bar manager tons of questions so we could make sure we had enough variety and quantity in our alcohol and mixers. We cannot recommend Kitchenina enough, they were amazing to work with, incredibly kind, and remarkably talented.

We loved having Kitchenina cater our wedding! The menu had a lot to pick from and everything at the wedding was just as amazing as our initial tasting. We got so many comments from our guests about how good the food was and the amazing bar service as well. The whole team was so nice and helpful throughout the whole process it took a lot of the stress away as we were planning :D

We hired Kitchenina to cater our wedding, and had a wonderful experience. We so appreciated everyone at Kitchenina's professionalism, attention to detail, and flexibility. And the food was great!!! We definitely saw some guests go up for seconds (and even thirds :-P). Highly recommend.

From the very beginning, they were so great to work with. They answered all of our questions and gave genuine suggestions on our menu. On our wedding day, Konstantine was so gracious to come up and talk to us. We were so happy we got to talk to him! Since our wedding, we have had numerous family members and friends compliment every aspect of dinner. We even have some family members, ourselves included, trying to mimic their recipes– however, our attempts don’t even come close :) Our guests loved the food, the service was amazing, and everyone was so kind and generous. Their kindness, responsiveness, and professionalism are all things we really appreciated throughout this process. We have many newly engaged friends and family and we have already been recommending Kitchenina– just another excuse to hopefully eat their food again! They even let us take home leftovers so we got to enjoy their food a little longer. 10/10 would recommend using for your big day.

When looking for a caterer for our wedding, we were incredibly intentional. After weighing several options, we decided to hire Kitchenina. And oh my goodness… did we make the right choice! Kitchenina was outstanding not only in providing the most delicious food for our guests, but also a quality of service that was unmatched. We received so many compliments from our guests about our food. The salmon and giant Mediterranean beans were particularly a hit! Thank you Kitchenina for making our day so special. It wouldn’t have the same without you.

Aliki and her husband Constantine are not only friendly, they are professional, and they are talented. Kitchenina was an amazing choice for our wedding and we cannot recommend them enough. Our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was! Many people went back for seconds and they even boxed up the left overs for us at the end. The staff went above and beyond serving our guests, working with the venue staff, and making sure everything was clean at the end. We couldn't have asked for more!

I cannot rate Kitchenina highly enough. At all steps through the wedding process, Aliki and Konstantine were proactive and took the initiative to help us craft an outstanding wedding reception experience. We heard nothing but fantastic praise from all our esteemed guests (one said her salmon was the best she had tasted in her life), and the staff truly made our night much easier with their attentive service and prompt replies. Seeing our happy guests made every penny spent worth it!

I can't praise Kitchenina enough. Aliki went above and beyond helping us pull off an unwieldy wedding with a short turnaround time, even when she was out of the country on family business. She was responsive, organized, very experienced, and cared deeply about the outcome. She and her team are great! The wedding had meaningful for the telescope operators at our venue Chabot SSC who usually volunteer to show off the sky and telescopes to wedding parties. This time they got to be a part of a wedding from start to finish. She was endlessly patient of her scattered bride. She made things work. The guests were so impressed with the spread and service. She is amazing.

Of all the caterers we looked at, Kitchenina was the best by far based on tasting + pricing. Everything went well on the day of thanks to the kitchenina team.

We can't thank Aliki, Kostas and the team enough for their service before, during, and after the wedding. We had a large number of guests and a large proportion of them had multiple allergies and food intolerances. Our venue also did not have an onsite kitchen and only provided tables and chairs. Aliki and team helped us navigate these obstacles seamlessly before and during the wedding. They have so many food options on their website and for our final menu at the wedding, each of our guests had several dishes they could choose from that could accommodate their specific needs (including our friends who were vegan and gluten intolerant and had nut allergies). Aliki had great attention to detail, and translated our vision and our guest needs into a beautiful and tasty dinner and table setting. She was great at anticipating potential hiccups at the wedding (such as advising us to choose darker table cloths for our coffee bar to decrease the look of any potential coffee stains) while also staying within our budget. We got multiple compliments from our guests about the food and the service. They helped us keep the whole day stress free and joyous. We will definitely recommend them to any of our friends who are getting married.

We worked with many wonderful vendors to help create the special, one-of-a-kind wedding we wanted, but Kitchenina was truly one of the highlights. From start to finish, Aliki and Konstantin, husband-and-wife owners of Kitchenina, were wonderful to work with. Aliki was extremely responsive, professional, and honest. She helped guide us through our menu design, offering suggestions on items she thought would be more of a hit while avoiding falling into the trap of upselling unnecessary items. Not only was the food unbelievably delicious, but extremely reasonable as well (they could definitely increase their price per head if they wanted to!) We went for a Greek theme, serving falafel, dolmas, and spanakopita during cocktail hour, and Greek salad, pita & hummus, chicken, lamb, roasted potatoes, roasted vegetables, and Mediterranean risotto for dinner. We chose to go with family style even though Aliki was transparent about the fact that this would cost more, and I'm very glad we did - the presentation was warm and inviting, allowing us to feel like we were hosting an intimate dinner party for friends, and the service was impeccable. And of course, I would be remiss if I failed to mention again how AMAZING the food was! All of our guests loved the catering - we received so many compliments on the food and everyone shared that our wedding was one of the best they'd ever been to. Aliki and Konstantin hosted us for two separate tastings - once to sample their cooking when we were deciding on a caterer, and once to sample additional items when we were finalizing our menu. Both times they were warm and accommodating. We sourced our own drinks but used their bartending team to serve them at the wedding, and they were very flexible with us even though we made several changes to our beverage menu at the last minute. Just another example of their willingness to accommodate our needs even down to the wire. I could go on an on about how amazing it was to work with Kitchenina. I would 200% work with them again! I honestly can't recommend them enough. Thank you, Aliki and Konstantin, for helping us throw an event we will truly never forget.

The food was absolutely so flavorful and a lovely presentation! Aliki and Constantine were professional and so gracious! The servers were so helpful and stayed and cleaned up until the end!! I would hire this company again and again!

We were so glad to hire Aliki and the Kitchenina team for our wedding at a remote location with 100 guests. Not only was the food delicious from appetizers to mains, her staff was professional, caring, and went the extra mile. Our experience working together was so smooth and we also enjoyed the tasting which helped us select entrees and small details like the beautiful tableware they have available. We recommend 100% - especially if you have a wedding in a difficult location - Kitchenina handled ours with exceptional grace and class. We will remember forever!

We’re so glad Kitchenina catered our wedding! The tri-tip and the brie flatbread were especially popular. But what really impressed us, was how kind and attentive Aliki was towards us and our guests. She went out of her way to make sure we were well fed and that meant so much to us. Thank you!

If we had to summarize our experience with having Kitchenina cater our wedding, it would be amazing food, amazing service! We got married at OVY Camp in San Gregorio, CA in May 2023 with a headcount of 165 guests, including 10 children. Kitchenina had catered dozens of weddings there and was highly recommended by the venue, so after we looked at their menu online and found dishes we liked, we contacted them to learn more and check if they were available on our wedding date. Kostas provided a very professional tasting experience at Kitchenina’s kitchen in Redwood City. We loved the dishes we tasted, including the chile verde mac and cheese, teriyaki chicken, and coconut curry tofu. We left the tasting with all of our questions about the menu, rentals, and logistics answered. We requested menus and quotes from a few of our venue’s other recommended caterers, but Kitchenina’s fresh menu appealed to us most and was the most affordable per head. Aliki and Kostas explained that they buy ingredients in bulk because they cater a high volume of meals for large tech companies in the Bay Area and pass on the savings from buying in bulk to their customers. In the month before the wedding, Aliki scheduled a meeting with us and our day-of coordinator to go over all the details, including headcount, logistics, and rentals. Aliki helped us add rentals and had us specify the color of the napkins and tablecloths. She also went over all of our questions about dietary restrictions of guests. Many dishes are gluten free, dairy free, or onion and garlic free without compromising on flavor! Day of, the set up and service went very smoothly, thanks to the professionalism of the bartenders, servers, and chef. The servers kept the buffet line flowing, while the bartenders moved guests quickly through the line for drinks. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming, creating a positive atmosphere for our guests. The team put together a beautiful dessert table that guests loved. Partway through dancing, the servers put out our late night snack of spanakopita and flatbread. At the end of the night the staff worked with our coordinator to pack up all of our decor and the leftover food. They left the space incredibly clean and tidy, which was especially helpful because we had guests staying on site and using the space for activities the next day. We would absolutely recommend Kitchenina to any couple planning a wedding in the Bay Area. Throughout the whole process, Aliki and Kostas were professional, warm and friendly, quick to respond, accommodating of our needs, and knowledgeable about everything we would need to make our event a success. They are pros in this business and it shows in everything they do. Their past experience catering at our DIY venue made the process even more smooth because they could tell us exactly what to expect. Thank you for making our special day so special, Aliki, Kostas, and team!

Kitchenina catered our wedding reception and the food was so good. Crowd highlights: verde mac and cheese, dolmas, apple brie flatbread. They were able to make some recipe adjustments to our taste, and we had plenty of options for all of our guests with dietary restrictions.

We chose Kitchenina as our catering service for our wedding; even made the decision before our tasting with Kostas. From the planning to the day of the event, Aliki provided great communication and guidance to ensure our special day would be wonderful, which it was. Aliki and the servers made sure all the guests were well-fed and never parched. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and organization were outstanding service! The food was so delicious that our guests continue to rave about it even after the event. We would definitely recommend Kitchenina for any catered events! Thank you so much for everything; wishing you all the best and good health!

Definitely definitely definitely get Kitchenina for your wedding!!!! Everything was fantastic from the service, to the staff, and the food - out of this world. We got SO many compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was and it was just incredible. One of my sisters had never had bacon wrapped dates before and when we served them during cocktail hour she had to fill up her napkin with several! And everyone loved the tri tip and chicken thighs that I’m so glad we were able to provide seconds for people! Use Kitchenina for your special day! They helped take care of everything including set up and it was such a relief to not have to worry about anything the day of. Make sure to get their bacon wrapped dates, barbecue bourbon meatballs, caprese salad skewers, tri tip and the honey guava chicken thighs especially! You will never have had anything like it and you’ll want it again - I guarantee it. Thank you so so much to Aliki for being there on our day, but also just staying in touch religiously for everything we needed to finalize before the wedding. She and her husband, Kostas, were amazing and I hope we can have another event to work with them again. I’ll be dreaming of their amazing food until then!

Aliki and the entire Kitchenina team are a pleasure to work with. We hired them for both our wedding reception and baby shower, and both times guests could not stop raving about the food. I appreciate that Kitchenina only uses natural and organic ingredients. I will certainly work with them again!

Picking Kitchenina to cater our daughter’s wedding at our home was a big decision for us. We have never used a caterer before and wanted everything to be just right for the wedding. As it turned out, Kitchenina, with its elegant food and attentive catering service, was the perfect choice. The food was delicious, especially the sesame ginger salmon and chicken marsala with mushrooms. Their staff was friendly, punctual, easy to work with, and did a great job serving and cleaning up. We had a truly memorable wedding, and Aliki and Kostas and their staff helped us to create the perfect day that we will always cherish!

The Kitchenina team was awesome from start-to-finish. From our initial phone calls with Aliki to our tasting with Chef Kostas to working with the whole team at our actual wedding, there's nothing we'd change about working with Kitchenina. The food was delicious (so many of our guests were like, "whoa, this food is like legitimately excellent -- best wedding food by a mile") and the warmth from all the staff really radiated through our whole event. 100% recommend, no doubt.

Kitchenina catered our daughter’s wedding a couple weeks ago and I am still hearing from guests raving about the food. Everything was served graciously and elegantly, from the delicious empanadas and margaritas during cocktail hour to the truly wonderful entrees during dinner. 180 people attended this wedding in torrential, epic rain. Aliki and Constantine not only adapted and worked around the challenges brought by the wedding, but created an event we will never forget .

Aliki and Konstantine run a fantastic, professional operation. From menu selection to tasting to event planning and execution, they took such good care of us and everything was always completely straightforward. The way they produced our wedding was simply amazing. People raved about the food, all of it. They provided great options for vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free folks, too. The crew of servers was also fabulous, so friendly, and Konstantine kept making sure we the grooms ate. So helpful, so caring. Kitchenina will definitely be our first recommendation to anyone we hear is looking for a caterer.

Aliki and the Kitchenina team were a dream to work with throughout planning and the day of the wedding. They were responsive and transparent in communication. We had to move the wedding twice and they accommodated us without complaint. The hors d'oeuvres and dinner were delicious; we had so many guests commenting on how much they loved the food, even weeks after the wedding. And as an extra bonus, our brother and sister-in-law were deeply grateful that the bartender cut off our nieces after their second cup of coke. Would absolutely recommend!!

I can’t recommend kitchenina enough. Aliki and Kostas made things so easy for me and the quality of food was incredible. I had to plan a wedding fairly quickly and Aliki got back to me right away and was very accommodating for everything I needed. You won’t be disappointed if you go with kitchenina!

If you're looking for a caterer, stop here. Aliki, Kostas, and their team were absolutely amazing and I'm already thinking of hiring them again! We just got married on October 15, 2022, but we didn't contact them for an inquiry until July 7! My (then) fiancé and I had different plans on what food we wanted catered, and we were planning on providing all the drinks, ice, cutlery, plates, cups, etc. When those plans fell through, I looked up local, affordable catering companies, and Kitchenina was the first to pop up. I loved that they used high-quality ingredients and had a wide variety of foods to choose from. We quickly set up a tasting with Kostas, and it felt like we were just eating at a restaurant. The food was incredible. For cocktail hour, we chose pesto mozzarella flatbread and bacon-wrapped sausages. Simple but delicious. For the reception, we chose to have a buffet with their 10-spice Angus beef tri-tip, garlic butter chicken thighs, basmati rice, Caesar salad, and verde Mac n cheese. Oh my goodness. Everything was so flavorful, succulent, fresh, and truly upscale. I've never had wedding food this good, and our guests kept saying the same thing. There was so much food that even with extra (uninvited) guests showing up, people were able to get three or four plates of food, AND we had four large trays of leftovers! We decided to also rent out all the cutlery, plates, glasses, and table napkins from them for convenience. Because our venue was residential, they didn't already have their own serving sets. If you're in the same boat, PAY FOR THE CONVENIENCE. Aliki and Kostas have done so many weddings so you can fully trust that they know what you need. They didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need, and they were able to tell me what amount of things we needed. I also had them provide the water and ice. I was AMAZED that how much ice is needed for a 170-person wedding. Again, pay for convenience. You'll be grateful for how smooth everything goes when Kitchenina is in charge! Also, Aliki was always so quick to reply to my emails and was very patient when I made any changes. She helped me pick out our menu, drove to the venue a month in advance and helped us figure out the most efficient layout for the buffet and cocktail hour, and she spoke with great confidence and authority. You NEED her on your vendor list! I'm so grateful for Aliki and her team for being a part of our special day!

We had backyard wedding on October 1st in Alamo and Aliki and Kostas were absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend Kitchenina highly enough! The food was amazing, the staff was so friendly and on top of everything and most importantly Aliki and Kostas are fantastic people. It is so nice to work with a true family business and with people who care as much for their customers as they do. Aliki was so helpful in the lead up to the wedding and was willing to work with us on everything. When we were stressed in the last minutes she calmed us down and assured us that everything would work out and she would be there to solve any problems on the fly, should they occur. And she did exactly that. Everything went perfectly and I have no doubt Aliki played a huge part in that. Again the food was amazing, we had multiple guests approach us during and after the wedding saying they had never had such good food at a wedding! And on top of that the servers during the wedding made sure that our entire wedding party was able to try all of the appetizers and even ran us drinks. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we got to enjoy everything our guests did. At dinner Aliki prepared us heaping plates packed with everything and brought them to our table and we actually had time to enjoy our meal. To sum it up definitely go with Kitchenina for your wedding they are the best!

Fabulous wedding catering! Kitchenina catered our daughter's wedding in September 2022, for which they provided a cocktail and hors d'oeuvres hour with open bar, buffet dinner with table-side wine service, and bar service throughout the evening. Our experience with Kitchenina was wonderful at all stages. From our initial contact and tasting session, to later discussions before the wedding, Aliki and Kostas were always very responsive and extremely helpful with recommendations about all aspects, from menu selections to table set-up. We really appreciated their flexibility in accommodating some additional dessert items that we provided, and their recommendations based on their experience for estimating wine and drinks quantities. The food was absolutely superb - of the highest quality, flavorsome, plentiful, and very nicely presented. During the cocktail hour the hors d'oeuvres came around constantly, so guests were always being offered a tasty morsel! Our guests also commented on how exceptionally pleasant all the servers and the bar staff were, and everyone loved the delicious food. The confidence we felt from planning with Aliki and Kostas before the wedding was completely justified: during the event, they ensured that everything went extremely smoothly and were very attentive and “in tune” with the pace of the evening. All-in-all, Kitchenina was professional, reliable, and easy to deal with, and provided FABULOUS food and service. So happy we chose Kitchenina - they were the perfect caterer for a perfect wedding!

We can not express how grateful we are to Kitchenina for handling all of the food for our wedding. Everything was amazing. From the moment we first arrived for the tasting, to the moment we closed out the night, they were accommodating, professional, personal, patient, understanding, and flexible. They ensured that everything that we hoped for when it came to making sure everyone was fed and happy, happened. The food was delicious and filling, but in a light way that allowed us to tear up the dance floor immediately afterwards. Throughout the night, the catering staff would come up to my (now) wife and I to make sure that we got to taste everything and that we had eaten. Above and beyond. If you are considering anyone to cater your wedding day, look no further. Kitchenina needs to be your first and only choice. Thank you all for helping to make our special day amazing!

I loved working with Kostas and Aliki to craft a perfect menu for my wedding. We ended up with a delicious nut, dairy, and gluten-free menu that our guests loved. They were very attentive, responsive, and kind throughout the whole process and really tried to save us money and give us the best bang for our buck with only the necessary services and variety of dishes. They even modified a portion of their roasted vegetables after our initial tasting, they were so accommodating. Because my husband and I were doing our solo photo shoot, we ended up missing the cocktail hour and most of the appetizers because they were ALL EATEN!! Guests kept coming up to us all night raving about how great the food and service was and even wrote about it in our guestbook! Aliki warned me that ice and water would be pricey, so just be aware that weddings of 165+ will require like 250-300lbs of ice if you’re serving alcohol and that everything alcohol-related will be an additional item they will need to rent. This includes: coolers, bar linens, pitchers, risers/bar setup, plastic cups, and stemware. The bartenders they hired did a great job and everyone had an amazing time. We would definitely recommend Kitchenina for your wedding if you want your guests to have an awesome experience.

Kitchenina is an amazing catering find. Their food is incredible (pretty sure we had the best wedding food I've ever experienced), their prices are reasonable, and they are an incredibly thoughtful and professional crew. We had a great experience with them and are so grateful to Aliki and Kostas. I definitely recommend the tri-tip, butter chicken, and verde mac & cheese. They worked super hard and did not disappoint.

Kitchenina was incredible to work with! From the menu tasting, to all the communication leading up the the wedding, Aliki was so responsive and willing to email or jump on phone calls to make sure everything was perfect for the wedding day. The food on the wedding day was just as great as the tasting even when our venue didn’t have a full kitchen. Kitchenina was able to give us top tier food and service and we can’t thank them enough. A few of my favorite items were the chimichurri meatballs, spanakopita, tri tip and mac n cheese. The chef, Kostas, gave great recommendations at the tasting for his professional opinion that I truly valued. I would 100% recommend Kitchenina!

The Kitchenina team was outstanding! The food was delicious (even as leftovers) and beautifully displayed, the servers were professional and attentive and Aliki and Kostas were accommodating and a joy to work with. We received numerous compliments on the quality of food with many of our guests saying, “it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had.” My husband and I are so grateful to the whole Kitchenina team for helping to make our day perfect. It was an absolute pleasure working with Kitchenina!

It was such a delight to work with Aliki and Kostas on our wedding menu! From the initial proposal to day of execution, we could not have asked for a better team to be in charge of our catering. They made sure we were able to eat at our reception, and were accommodating with changes up to the last minute. The food and service was just amazing and we are still getting compliments from everyone about all of the food (especially the tri-tip and the salmon) days after our big day! They are the best and we definitely chose the right team for our wedding :)

Aliki and the Kitchenina team were extremely professional throughout the entire planning process and wedding reception. She and her husband Kostas made great recommendations for the menu items we wanted according to the timing and amount of guests we had for our wedding. They provided all the silverware and linens along with bartending services which simplified the process immensely for us. When it came to the venue walk-through, Aliki (who had just done a wedding there a few months ago) knew exactly what was needed and how many people she would need for the allocated setup time which was 1.5 hours at most. She offered great advice and made us feel completely at ease with the level of experience she has. The food was amazing and tasted exactly like it had when we did the tasting. Our guests loved the food and many went up for seconds and thirds. We highly recommend Kitchenina for any catering needs!

We really love Aliki and Kostas. They are amazing people. Kostas prepared us a delicious tasting that help us making an easy decision. Our guests loved to food. I want to thank them again.

Everyone said the food was delicious! Everything was smooth an professional, would recommend!

Kostas and Aliki did an amazing job in providing food for our wedding. They were both really helpful through the process, being quite flexible while finalizing menu and rentals. The food itself was really good—well-made and diverse! We had multiple of our guests comment on how much they liked the food and service. Kostas himself coordinated everything on the day of and everything ran smoothly. It was a pleasure to work with Kitchenina, would 100% recommend!

Excellent thats all you really need to know. Also professional, knowledgable and really went the extra mile for us. Came in a price point that worked for us. Highly recommend. We had a great experience and my guests all enjoyed the food. They communicate very quickly and to the point which we prefer.

Kitchenina is absolutely amazing! Their food is delicious, allergen conscious and reasonably priced. We loved that we were able to taste the food before signing the contract (a requirement from them - but it makes sense). Aliki was very responsive to our phone calls and emails during the 5-6 months before our wedding day. We especially appreciated her "real talk" advice about what and how much to order, and she never tried to oversell us something we didn't need (such as extra appetizers). The service on the day of the event was flawless. Our guests raved about the food and the presentation. Everything was perfect. We highly recommend Kitchenina!
