Okay, you have to book Ono Grinds for your wedding. You just have to. Our wedding day was perfect and beautiful, but the thing that we keep hearing about from our guests was how amazing dinner was!! We ordered enough food for our guests to have multiple plates — expecting leftovers. There were none. Our guests loved it so much it was completely devoured! The end product of course is so important, but I have to mention the experience we had working with Andrea. She went above and beyond to make our day feel as perfect as it was! We did a tasting with Andrea to determine our perfect menu and she not only brought the delicious food but brought her wealth of knowledge as well! She worked with our venue to make sure everything was taken care of and that we didn’t have a worry in the world. Our day was perfect, and it’s because we worked with the most amazing people, and Andrea was a huge part of it all. Andrea, we cannot thank you enough for everything you did to help make our day as special as it was. Thank you and your team from the bottom of our hearts!!

"WOW!!! If referrals are what you want, you can count on us for that!!! Where do I begin? 1. The service? EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING, TOP RATE 2. The food? INCREDIBLE, 5 STAR, SCRUMPTIOUS, OUT OF THIS WORLD 3. Professional? YOU ARE A PERFECTIONIST, YOUR TEAM IS AMAZING, SPECTACULAR Each of our guests have commented on how wonderful our reception was. They all went on and on about how great the food was, Your dedication to making each event you cater absolutely perfect was obvious from the first day we met, but when I learned that it was your daughter's birthday the same day as our reception, you blew me away!

Founded by Food Network winning Chef Shieya, The Kookery is a craft catering company focused on making your dream wedding experience a reality. We specialize in curating menus as unique as you! We collaborate with you and your vendors for a perfect experience down to the smallest details.

Awarded Best of Zola
How can I even begin to describe the greatness that is Chef Shieya and the Kookery and how wonderful she made our wedding?! It started off with planning mode. With an American and a Brazilian getting married, we wanted to have a dish from each culture to make it special for our guests. With a sea bass dish and the steak picanha, everyone could choose. The sous vide steak was so tender, cooked to perfection, the color on it so beautiful, it was the winner. We had a few vegans at the party, and she took care of them ahead of time and knew exactly where they were sitting and who they were. And as always, Chef wanted to kick it up a notch, so she got some black truffles to really make the dishes pop. The full course meal from the watermelon salad to squid ink pasta to the main courses to the wedding cake she made herself was decadent, super tasty, and plated like a million dollars. Aside from the food being perfect, Chef Shieya and the Kookery team delivered a professional experience like no other. From setup to breakdown, they had it handled to where we didn't have to worry at all. The team arrived early in the morning. We went up to go get ready and change for the wedding party, and by the time we came back down they were already completely set up and serving guests. There are so many attention to detail things we didn't even think of, nor did we have to because they already knew what we needed, even though we didn't. So many touches that just made everything run so smoothly. We didn't have to do a thing, and all the guests were taken care of. People still talk about how good our wedding reception food was, saying it was the best they've ever had, better than the regular boring standard food at other weddings. Our special day was made so much more magical because of Shieya and her team. She does everything only to perfection, and even goes a step further to make it personal and unforgettable. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Awarded Best of Zola
My cousin, giving advice to me for my wedding, said, "No one remembers the food at weddings, its just chicken or fish, don't sweat it", and I took that as a challenge. With a sizeable contingent of my family having celiac disease, and being gluten and dairy intolerant myself, I wanted to find a meal that was majority restriction-diet friendly without non-restricted guests noticing. NOMADA's menu was perfect for our crowd - the passed apps, mobile kitchen taco bar, and all the fixings, sides, and beverages were all gluten and dairy free, and no one with celiac got sick. In addition, our venue did not have a kitchen, so their mobile outdoor kitchen set-up meant we had fresh, hot tortillas and tacos, instead of food cooked offside and reheated right before service. It was a smash hit - Guests went back for seconds and thirds. Salsas ranged from mild to medium spiciness, but were all so flavorful they didn't need to be spicier, and the yellow salsa especially was the talk of the night. The service, presentation, taste, and everything was perfect; at least two friends who attended the wedding are planning to use them for future events they were so impressed. The appetizer meatballs - a can't miss.

I quickly learned that it’s not just about having fresh fish anymore. Sushi dining has transformed into a culture. A culture built by imagination and creativity. With the help of GD and the support of my family, I took all that experience and fused it with my imagination and created Yooshi Sushi Catering and Event Production.
