WELCOME TO MADRES KITCHEN
Madres Kitchen is run by passionate bad-asses who love food and people, and any gathering that brings them together. We're women-owned. We source from local, sustainable farmers and businesses because we think it's not just cool, but vital to walk the land that grows the food we use and break bread with farmers who grow it. We give a damn about the planet.
​
We work with good people who want to do good work, and we channel that into every event we cater. When planning your event, when plating your meals or serving from our creative "action stations", we're getting into the spirit of service, measuring our success by your guests' WOW and your gratitude. (Okay, we like repeat business and referrals too.)
When we say we're full-service we mean it. Not only the part about securing tables, chairs, linens, DJs, magicians, mechanical bulls (ask us!) and such, but we'll take care of the stuff you can't anticipate as well. Need to stock enough of the boss's favorite vodka? Chris in accounting's new boyfriend needs the paleo plate? Uncle Max starts clearing plates because he's ready to call it a night? We're on it.
Working with Madres will put you at ease, comfortable that everything is handled by professionals who get your vision. Bottom line - we know events. We know catering. If we sound like your kind of people, we'd like to get to know you and your people. Because we give a damn about you.
