About Me
My name is Lakenya Ellis, and I am the owner and chef behind Lala’s Crib Catering. My catering journey began in June 2021 in New York, where I followed my passion for food, hospitality, and creating unforgettable dining experiences. What started as a small vision rooted in family traditions and a love for cooking has grown into a full-service catering brand known for flavor, creativity, and excellence.
I specialize in crafting soulful, elegant, and diverse menus that bring people together and leave lasting impressions. From intimate celebrations to large-scale events, my mission is to serve delicious food made with love, fresh ingredients, and a commitment to quality. Every menu is customized to reflect my clients’ tastes and event vision, ensuring each experience feels personal, warm, and memorable.
Today, Lala’s Crib Catering proudly serves clients with professionalism, passion, and the belief that food is not just a meal — it’s an experience. I am honored each time someone chooses my team to be a part of their special moments, and I look forward to continuing to grow, serve, and bring joy through every plate.

Baby shower

My baby shower was beautiful but what topped it off was the food. Lala and her team were amazing and made sure to even go above and beyond to help set up some of the decorations when they arrive because my family was a bit behind.


The food was amazing, we had baked chicken Mac and cheese string beans mashed potatoes and she even made a drink for my party.
