About

MadeByRK is an award-winning catering company based in Tarrytown, New York. Led by founder and executive chef Renée Kashuba, they provide private chef and event planning services to couples and families throughout the region. Every celebration is different, and Chef Renée builds a close relationship with each couple to tailor designs, menus, and services to their unique vision. The Chef thrives on close collaboration with couples to create just the right experience.

Services

MadeByRK offers fresh, made-from-scratch menus for up to 75 guests in the Rivertowns, Westchester, New York City, and throughout the region. Hiring a private chef yields the freshest food, made by the chef who created the recipe, hand-selected the ingredients, and designed the menu. The chef also works closely with couples on the overall design and flow for the day, and decor, rentals, flowers, favors, cake, and planning can be included in a single fee. Fresh cooking requires access to a full, onsite kitchen or creation of a temporary kitchen.

Cuisine

With a foundation in Mediterranean cuisine and Asian and American influences, Chef Renée shapes menus to please even the most discerning tastes. Dishes are crafted from scratch using the freshest premium ingredients and diligently prepared to thrill the senses. A truly made-for-you approach means special diets (including vegan, vegetarian, Kosher, and allergen free) can be accommodated. MadeByRK also offers detail-oriented event planning, as well as venue visits, rental coordination, setup and clean up, and staffing, in tandem with cuisine, so couples can rest easy knowing all will be expertly coordinated.

Above and Beyond

MadeByRk is amazing!

We were recently married after several years of postponements due to Covid and the loss of some family members…it was a tough time for us. Throughout it all, Renée was with us every step of the way during all the ups and downs. She was kind, flexible and very supportive. It really is a testament to how much she cares about her clients. Not only did we find an amazing level of service with MadeByRk, but we experienced a true partnership and friendship as well.

When the happy day finally arrived, Renée and her team made us feel so comfortable and at ease (even helping calm a mini meltdown with a much needed hug and alleviating any and all Covid concerns). She helped coordinate everything, including seating charts (she even measured the venue to make sure all the tables and chairs would fit), day of stationery, making sure our vibe and theme came through and bespoke food stations with the most pleasant and thoughtful attendants. The food was great, especially the cake and desserts (her buttercream frosted chocolate cake is heavenly and she made these adorable themed cookies just for us). In addition she provided beautiful decorations and flower arrangements, which they set up throughout the whole venue, as well as setting up a lovely champagne toast for us. Then she came back the next day to even help further for all post-event necessities and clean up (including preserving the top of our wedding cake for our anniversary). We can’t say enough about her and her team. They made the best day of our life even that much better.

MadebyRK has our heartfelt appreciation for everything. Truly one of a kind! Thank you for a wonderful experience.
