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!

We had a blast working with Mel! She communicated perfectly and responded to our millions of questions within a few minutes. We expressed our concerns with our group having multiple food allergies and Mel was able to accommodate them all. We had espresso balsamic beef tenderloin, miso caramel scallops, garlic green beans, sesame noodles to die for - absolutely wow, vegan bbq seitan brisket, sautéed veggies, vegan and traditional charcuterie boards, strawberry goat cheese crostini, custom breads and cranberry brie in phyllo cups. All the food was amazing! The staff that was tending to us for the night were great. Our two bartenders were amazing. Loads of energy, great stories and really were life of the party. Shout out to everyone at GourMel that was able to make this wedding night possible.

Denise was also so hands on during the planning process and helped us ensure we had all the rentals we needed and provided feedback and advice which was so helpful when you are a bride who has never done this before. The staff that Denise brought the day of was also spectacular, they were kind, quick and always willing to help a guest. Her business partner Will who ran the bar was also amazing, he helped us ensure we had everything we needed and made sure lines moved during the night. If you need a caterer in the area who can provide amazing food and is just awesome to work with, definitely hire Denise!

Jeannette was super responsive and easy to work with. She solved all the problems and attended to all my catering needs. Delivery was on time, and the break down was perfect! The chicken piccata was so soft I still find hard to believe. The assorted desserts were definitely a talking point, they sure were assorted (was not even able to try them all!) and so delicious I couldn’t pick a favorite either.
