Erika and the team at Madres Kitchen are amazing! We worked with them for our wedding (60 guests) in March of this year, and used them for full-service catering (taco bar), bartending, and day-of coordinator services. It was incredibly easy to work with them.

I planned my own wedding, so it was important to me to work with vendors who were organized, professional, and could help me fill in the blanks when needed. Erika was very responsive to my many questions, and met with me multiple times to walk through the day-of timeline template she'd created (which I was also able to share with other vendors so that everyone was on the same page). In addition to day-of timing, Erika also helped us plan the layout at the venue, which we needed for the ceremony, dinner, and dance floor; she and her team did a beautiful job of setting up the space just as we'd envisioned it.

And the food - oh my gosh the food was SO GOOD...and our guests agreed! Additionally, we had some waitstaff for the family tables, and the staff was so kind and helpful. The team truly went above and beyond to make sure our guests were comfortable, and that we were happy throughout the wedding celebration.

Highly recommend Madres Kitchen - from the planning, to the food, it was an incredible experience!

Erika and the Madres Kitchen team exceeded our expectations for our wedding day catering! We used Madres for their full-service catering, bartending, linen/tabletop rentals, and day-of-coordinator services. From the initial proposal (which was 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!

Madres was the best. The food at my wedding was the most important part to me, and Madres delivered. I was very particular about the type of food I wanted to be served at my wedding, and Madres came up with a fantastic menu taking everything I wanted into consideration. We had a pre-wedding tea, a cocktail hour, a 3-course dinner, dessert bar, and late night snacks. Madres was able to accommodate all our food requests and even last minute menu changes. Their team is professional and exceptional. Most of all the food was beyond this world. People are still telling me how much the loved the food at my wedding. I can't talk them enough for making my day so special. If you're looking for a caterer who will take your wedding to the next level then use Madres Kitchen.
