ABOUT NZR Inc.

NZR Inc. is a destination-wedding catering company built around live-fire grills and 18-hour wood-smoked meats. Our menus draw from the great asado traditions of Argentina and Uruguay, the smoke and salsa cultures of Oaxaca and Jalisco, and the chiles, mole, and posole of New Mexico — served as casually or as formally as the moment calls for.
Every event is all-inclusive. Travel, gratuity, tax, composting, and chefs are baked into one transparent per-person price — no surprise fees, no surprise additional cost. That is our brand promise.
We cook for couples who care where their food comes from. New Mexico ranch partnerships move through a single regional smokehouse, and Santa Fe farmers’ markets provide 90% of our produce. Vegan and gluten-free service is built into every menu by default, not added as an afterthought.

Amazing Chef!

We hired Chef Kualani for a private birthday dinner for my mother. Her passion for food came through in the very first email. She is amazing! You can tell that she loves the whole process of procuring, preparing, cooking and serving. We gathered from all over the world and this was the best meal we have had, possibly ever. She tends to use local and fresh ingredients which made all of the dishes stand out. Chef K is very talented.

Delicious menu and very easy to work with!

Kualani and her team blew away myself and our guests with her delicious food. Kualani was open to collaboratively creating the menu items together and delivered on what was requested: traditional New Mexican food that was warming for our Fall wedding. We received tons of complements from our guests on how great the food was.

Not only was Kualani easy to communicate and plan the menu with, she was always responsive to our questions and remained flexible and accommodating when special dietary restrictions were needed.

Additionally, Kualani was very prepared; she and her team set everything up the day before to make the wedding day seamless and stress-free. I would highly recommend Kualani and her team.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
