Kali W.,
Kitchenina was absolutely amazing. My husband and I had to postpone our wedding reception due to covid. We were struggling to find a caterer that fit our budget and also had healthy farm to table vegan options. Their food is 10/10. Everyone at our wedding only had great things to say about Kitchenina. They are very friendly, flexible people who truly enjoy what they do. They really came in clutch for my husband and I as we were getting worried if we would be able to find a caterer. We found them about 6 weeks before our date and they made it happen. Great people, great service, great food. I would recommend them to anyone and honestly you should stop looking and just go with Kitchenina. They have both vegan and non vegan options. Seriously some of the best food we have ever had. If they had a store front restaurant I would be ordering from them all the time! We couldn't be happier with their service.
