Many, many thank yous Kitchenina!
Kitchenina's team was friendly, fun and professional and the food delicious at our backyard wedding. Everyone LOVED the food and service, and asked us who is this caterer?! The staff seemed to fade into the background and then show up with something yummy just at the right moment. Thank you Alikia and Kostas and the entire team for making our backyard wedding dreams come true! You helped create a vibe that was like a massive fun dinner party with the people we love, just how we wanted it. The hummus meatballs were so good they were all gone by the time the after party wrapped at 3am. -

Sophia Sent on 05/26/2024Fantastic experience, fantastic food!
Kitchenina catered our wedding earlier this month, and they knocked it out of the park! The food was delicious, and the service was spectacular. We got compliments all night on how delicious the food was. It was also easy to put together a selection (we served dinner buffet style) that had plenty of vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free options. We saw several guests go back for seconds, including one of our vegan guests.
Even before the event, Kostas and Aliki were incredibly helpful. They helped us settle on our menu and gave us other pointers and tips to make our day go smoothly. In addition to the meal, they also set up our dessert table (we rented dessert stands from them).
We would highly recommend them for any and all events. -

We used Kitchenina this past weekend to cater my son's and daughter-in-law's wedding and I highly recommend them. The food was amazing, the staff professional, the value excellent and whole experience just wonderful. They provide so many varied menu options and are so easy to work with. I would definitely use them again. -

Aliki, Kostas & team were AMAZING!
From the first call, we knew that working with Aliki would be a breeze. She was thorough in explaining her company's services and transparent about her fees and what they are unable to do. This gave me and my fiancé a clearer vision as to what to expect from her and her team. Kostas' cooking is beyond delicious and the variety they can provide is insane. We were able to provide a variety of options for our guests, especially those with food sensitivities. Her team were very attentive and professional and everyone loved the food! 5 stars all around! We are so glad we chose them for our wedding! -

Daniel P. Sent on 01/04/2024You should absolutely use Kitchenina
TLDR: Aliki, Kostas, and the entire Kitchenina crew were incredible to work with. They were communicative, efficient, and alleviated so much stress before and during the day, and most importantly, the food was amazing!!!
We started working with Aliki and Kostas almost a year before our wedding. We didn’t love any of the vendors on our venue's preferred list so we went looking for better and found Kitchenina. Our first experience with them was a tasting that was basically a 5 course meal. We got to try multiple appetizers, side dishes, entrees, and a salad. Needless to say, it was delicious. I keep asking Kostas if he will bottle the sauce he used for the salmon so I can buy it.
On the day of our wedding their team was amazing. They transformed an empty museum exhibit hall into our reception dinner in less than 2 hours, setting up 19 tables, 2 buffets, 2 bars, and a sweetheart table. All 190 guests had been served and finished eating in less than an hour. We never had to worry about a single thing on the day, if anything came up, we never noticed and they didn’t tell us haha. The food was so good we were excited to eat the leftovers for the next week!
We also were purchasing our own alcohol for the reception and Aliki let us ask her bar manager tons of questions so we could make sure we had enough variety and quantity in our alcohol and mixers.
We cannot recommend Kitchenina enough, they were amazing to work with, incredibly kind, and remarkably talented.

When looking for a caterer for our wedding, we were incredibly intentional. After weighing several options, we decided to hire Kitchenina. And oh my goodness… did we make the right choice! Kitchenina was outstanding not only in providing the most delicious food for our guests, but also a quality of service that was unmatched. We received so many compliments from our guests about our food. The salmon and giant Mediterranean beans were particularly a hit! Thank you Kitchenina for making our day so special. It wouldn’t have the same without you. -

We hired Kitchenina to cater our wedding, and had a wonderful experience. We so appreciated everyone at Kitchenina's professionalism, attention to detail, and flexibility. And the food was great!!! We definitely saw some guests go up for seconds (and even thirds :-P). Highly recommend. -

Colette B. Sent on 09/12/2023The best decision we made!
It’s hard to put to words how incredible the food and service were the night of our wedding.
To start, Aliki and her team were incredibly flexible and professional with all of our alterations and requests prior to the wedding. They were very responsive and accommodating whenever we had obstacles on our end. My fiancé and I got married at OVY Camp and Event Center. Kitchenina was on their recommended list, and deciding to have them cater our wedding was the best decision we made. When we told our venue that we had hired Kitchenina they let out a sigh of relief. Similarly, when we told our Wedding Coordinator that we had decided on Kitchenina, she also told us that it was the best possible decision we could make. I share this, because it shows how they are consistently successful and a joy to work with across-the-board.
My experience was nothing short of all these expectations . Not only was their food reasonably priced, but it also tasted phenomenal. We did a buffet style meal, and also had some Kitchenina bartenders at our event. Every staff member was extremely helpful and flexible in fixing any issues that arose. As I talk to my guests after the wedding, everyone commented on how great the food was, and how wonderful the service was! When dinner was over, they wrapped everything up beautifully and put it in the fridge for us to take home. Everything was cleaned up and preserved, and I am enjoying some of their phenomenal tri-tip right now as I write this review.
I highly recommend Kitchenina for your event, and I will certainly be calling them next time I need catering. -

Eileen M. Sent on 09/12/2023Excellent food and outstanding service!
I cannot rate Kitchenina highly enough. At all steps through the wedding process, Aliki and Konstantine were proactive and took the initiative to help us craft an outstanding wedding reception experience. We heard nothing but fantastic praise from all our esteemed guests (one said her salmon was the best she had tasted in her life), and the staff truly made our night much easier with their attentive service and prompt replies. Seeing our happy guests made every penny spent worth it! -

Chelsea M. Sent on 09/18/2023Great choice for catering!
Aliki and her husband Constantine are not only friendly, they are professional, and they are talented. Kitchenina was an amazing choice for our wedding and we cannot recommend them enough. Our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was! Many people went back for seconds and they even boxed up the left overs for us at the end. The staff went above and beyond serving our guests, working with the venue staff, and making sure everything was clean at the end. We couldn't have asked for more! -

Our wedding was travel-themed, and the Kitchenina team had the repertoire to deliver. Having traveled themselves, they understood the importance of variety and quality, and there was something for everyone at the wedding. What sealed the deal for us was (1) their professionalism and (2) the taste. We really appreciated all their hard work and accommodations in the process and send our sincere thanks to Chef Konstantine and Aliki! -

Glad we got Leftovers 😋
Kitchenina was a pleasure to work with for my wedding, and the food was amazing! Their communication before the event was good and they quickly responded to any of my questions and menu changes, We got meatballs and endive leaf bowls (my favorite) for our appetizers, and our main course was salmon, beef tips, green beans, rice, and asian salad. At first I thought my husband and I had missed out on appetizers while we were taking pictures, but Aliki thought ahead and grabbed a plate for us! They did the same with dinner so we got huge servings of everything. Unfortunately, because of my nerves and stomach butterflies, I couldn’t eat much, but Kitchenina packed up all the leftovers for us, so I got to truly enjoy everything again! They also cut our cake, and did a great job making sure all our guests got a piece, even though our cake was probably a little too small. The staff was friendly and really went above and beyond cleaning our venue’s dishes and helping us move tables at the end of the night! Definitely will use them for any future catering events. -

great service and great food
We can't thank Aliki, Kostas and the team enough for their service before, during, and after the wedding. We had a large number of guests and a large proportion of them had multiple allergies and food intolerances. Our venue also did not have an onsite kitchen and only provided tables and chairs. Aliki and team helped us navigate these obstacles seamlessly before and during the wedding. They have so many food options on their website and for our final menu at the wedding, each of our guests had several dishes they could choose from that could accommodate their specific needs (including our friends who were vegan and gluten intolerant and had nut allergies). Aliki had great attention to detail, and translated our vision and our guest needs into a beautiful and tasty dinner and table setting. She was great at anticipating potential hiccups at the wedding (such as advising us to choose darker table cloths for our coffee bar to decrease the look of any potential coffee stains) while also staying within our budget. We got multiple compliments from our guests about the food and the service. They helped us keep the whole day stress free and joyous. We will definitely recommend them to any of our friends who are getting married. -
