Night Kitchen Catering

Chef Aaron, Angela, Angel, and the whole Night Kitchen team truly went above and beyond for our wedding. From the very first conversation, they were incredibly helpful and professional, and you could just tell that they love what they do. We went in for a tasting trial before making a final decision, and the food was INCREDIBLE! We challenged Chef Aaron to make a menu that was a fusion of Peruvian and TexMex - two very different cuisines - and you could just see the attention to detail, ingredients, and flavors in every dish he made. Aaron and Angel are truly world class chefs and so versatile in what types of foods they are able to cook, and cook exceptionally well! And that was just the tasting!

Angela not only coordinates the catering, but also offers wedding day-of-coordination, which is probably the best decision we made for our wedding! She was so helpful making sure we thought about all details, no matter how small, and she created an incredibly detailed timeline, which made the day run smoothly. She reached out a couple months before the wedding to understand our vision and make sure we were on track with all of the vendors. And once we gave her the contact information for all of the vendors, she made the rest of the planning process stress free!

The day of the wedding was executed to perfection by the Night Kitchen team. They have their own staff for the kitchen and table service. Set up, rentals, and breakdown were all handled by the team. More importantly, we received so many compliments on the food! Highly recommend going family style, because everyone is going to want to try a little of everything - it's all amazing. And as a nice touch at the end of the night, they made sure to pack us a 'hangover box' of food for the next day. So thoughtful from start to end - don't even think twice about booking them for your wedding!

Night Kitchen rocks. You should pick them for your event, they are so, so good at what they do.

We wanted to have a real food-forward wedding. No gimmicks. Food meant a lot to us, and we wanted a caterer that wanted to make fresh, interesting food for our event. Night Kitchen completely blew us away. On the calls they listened to what we liked to eat, and came back with an absolute dream menu that combined our tastes with our story. It seemed a bit too perfect though, so we went in for a tasting. The tasting was the best meal I ate all year. Basically a chefs kitchen in the coolest mad scientist garage, and every bite was revelatory. Pineapple+queso appetizers, calamari tapas, spicy and coconut-lentils, wild deserts. It was so good. And then they did it again at the event itself! Like the food for 150 was as good as it was for 4. Literally every person at the event complimented us about the food, they were so into it.

Other aspects were great too. We worked with the team at Night Kitchen to design special drinks (we had a punch and mulled wine) and they were extremely helpful about testing it out and giving us precise ingredient lists. They were very helpful in the walkthrough and arranging rentals as well, including small things like glasses for specialty drinks and coffee. All the aspects around the food went off seamlessly and so the food really was able to shine.

I could not have had our wedding without NIGHT KITCHEN and Angela! From rescheduling dates and working through different and ever-changing COVID regulations, Night Kitchen and Angela were on top of everything!

Catering -- My husband and I had very personalized elements we wanted for our wedding and Night Kitchen was able to deliver above and beyond. We wanted to serve Korean-inspired food like Atoboy, Danji, etc. However, many of these places do not cater outside of their own restaurant. We were able to work with Chef Aaron and his team to develop a menu that was elegant and so authentic. Everyone at the wedding was blown away by the food. My Korean aunt in her 70s could not believe this food was not from a Korean chef. We also wanted to deliver part of the food to a local homeless shelter for young mothers a few blocks away from the venue. Chef Aaron and his team was able to cook and set aside food to be delivered to the shelter prior to the wedding on top of prepping for multi-course dinner with at least 12 dishes for over 80 people. We were a little concerned this Michelin star Korean-fusion fine dining experience we wanted would lost with the volume of food that was cooked at once, but we were absolutely blown away with out nuanced and delicious everything was. You can bring any type of cuisine and experience you want to Night Kitchen and they will deliver!

Day of Planner - We highly, highly suggest hiring Night Kitchen's day of planner, Angela when you book their catering services. Angela's planning template is what dreams are made of for Type A planners. She thinks of everything to the very last detail and went above and beyond with everything behind the scenes to make sure we could enjoy our day to the fullest. We also had some special events like a surprise puppy party for our guests, ice cream truck for dessert, and donating our flowers the next morning, and they were able to help us execute these on top of regular wedding stuff.
