Fantastic and well executed food at our Jewish/Korean Wedding!

Linda and her team at Grounded did an excellent job catering and day-of coordinating for our wedding. It was tricky to find a caterer in the area willing to cook Korean food (and kosher at that!), but Linda enthusiastically leapt at the challenge and absolutely nailed it. Her and her team were helpful, adaptive, and flexible, and the ultimate execution of the food and the wedding made us, and more importantly our guests, very happy.

The absolute best!

There are not enough words to describe how incredible Linda is. She is a phenomenal chef, business woman, and just an all around warm and wonderful person -- exactly who you want to work with for your events! Grounded catered our wedding August 2021 - Linda hopped on board just shy of 50 days before the big day after our initial caterer cancelled. Linda not only saved the day, but she knocked our socks off! We wished we had contracted her from the start, but regardless are so happy we got to work with her in the end.
Linda collaborated with us to devise a menu that included some of her specialties with a mix of some custom items we wanted to include that were special to us. Her communication is clear and consistent. The food was delicious - I am super sad I didn't get to eat more of it! As a bride & a producer in the events industry, I was extremely pleased with my experience with Grounded and highly recommend them for your event!

The perfect wedding caterer

Linda catered our tiny Covid wedding on August 18 and blew the doors off with both food and service! We and our guests loved all of: A delicious poached salmon, perfectly cooked flank steak with Chimichurri, roasted vegetables with fennel, a delightful tomato/watermelon salad, a perfect cheese plate, focaccia....and our amazing wedding cake (chocolate with chocolate mousse and a butter cream frosting.) We will go with Grounded for any and all future catering needs.
