Madres Kitchen

very detailed!) to the tastings to the wedding day, we felt well-taken care of and knew our guests wouldn’t leave our event hungry! Erika and the chefs worked with us to craft an entirely plant-based menu that was truly delicious. Erika was our day-of coordinator and met with us several times to go over the timeline, menu, dinner table and decor setup, and a myriad of other details to make sure that everyone knew what had to happen when and how. Our table place settings were set perfectly and our decor was placed to our specifications. She made sure that my husband and I had a celebratory drink in hand when signing our marriage license immediately following the ceremony, she rounded up a plate of appetizers for us to enjoy while waiting to make our reception entrance, and helped keep the event on track even when the lightning storm of the decade hit our September outdoor wedding! She helped pack up our car and sent us off with leftover food (that was devoured at the hotel almost immediately). Take note that the services we required were “full-service”, meaning that Madres was there for setup with their mobile kitchen and tear down and disposal at the end of the night. We had a few servers for the passed apps and bartenders for the beer and wine service. (Shoutout to the bartenders! Our guests have brought up multiple times how nice they were!) We also opted for the additional day-of coordinator services. Erika coordinated the rentals for table linens, stoneware, glassware, and flatware. And, of course, they provided all the delicious food! This was a large number of services requiring many hours and several staff members. Needless to say, catering and all the associated labor involved was one of the big ticket items in our budget. However, we were so happy with the level of service and quality of the menu we received, that we feel the pricing was more than fair! We were also so pleasantly surprised with how the food and bar were setup! I honestly hadn’t given this much thought and I was so struck by how beautiful everything looked. Madres provided signage and some decor for the buffet and bar (complete with “B-A-R” lettering). The dinner buffet was staged beautifully and made everything look just as amazing as it tasted. Our photographer, Tanya of Tetiana Photography, was so excited to see the buffet that she asked my husband and I to wait a moment before serving ourselves so she could snap a few pics! Thank you Erika and the Madres Kitchen team for being a part of our wedding day! We are so grateful for the amazing people we worked with to make our celebration one to remember!

ity and delicious food. I hope I have a reason to hire them again- they were amazing and we are so thankful we chose this company!

order. Madre's was one of the first places that I contacted and they were so excited to help with our Colombian inspired meal. Plus, local, organic, and woman owned? Yes please! At the tasting, we were blown away! They nailed every dish they made. And they did not disappoint on the wedding day. It was seriously some of the best food I've had, at either a wedding or restaurant. They also made our pies and mini strawberry shortcakes, since we didn't have a wedding cake. The strawberry rhubarb pie was to die for. My wedding guests couldn't stop raving all night about the food.

was patient, pleasant, and thorough, with great communication via both email and phone. We wanted salmon. We didn’t want dessert. We wanted more appetizers and vegan appetizers. Frankly, we couldn’t have been the easiest couple! But Osiris and team made us feel accommodated and listened to every step of the way. On the day of, Madres brought refreshments – water and a delicious rosemary lemonade – several blocks from our reception venue to the ceremony site. Thus began the “ooh”s and “ahh”s that wouldn’t end for weeks after the wedding. We made sure to get a taste of everything during the night and were completely satisfied. So were our guests. Clean plates abounded, even at the kids’ table. (They made mac and cheese.) Lines at the bar didn’t get too long, our family-style service was prompt (one table was briefly left out, but those guests made a quick fuss and were immediately served), and the distribution of food was great. If we were to ever get married again, we’d go right back to Madres. We recommend them without reservation. If you want to know more, feel free to message us.

hey even did a gluten free version of the veggie dish for our Celiac guest. The table set up was beautiful and they did everything exactly as we had discussed. They were also readily available for a venue walkthrough. The only negative is that one of the three "Mamas" that we had been working with did not actually attend our event. The staff they sent was wonderful, did a stand up job, and had everything under control. It just would have made me more comfortable to have one of the owners there. It all went off without a hitch, even without them present, which is a testament to their staff. And it was the best food we have ever eaten at a wedding.

e them look beautiful. The venue and tables looked absolutely gorgeous. The team was very professional and took great care of our guests. I would highly recommend this caterer for any event.
