After months of dreaming, planning, and bringing ideas to life, we realized it was time to introduce our new bar setup. 🍸✨

A huge thank you to Custom Wood Work - Backdrops and Party Props for taking our vision and creating something even better than we imagined. We came across one of his posts showcasing his incredible craftsmanship, shared a few ideas, and he brought our custom bar to life beautifully. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

Whether it’s handcrafted cocktails, mocktails, coffee service, or a full bar experience, we’re excited to offer our couples and clients a beautiful centerpiece that complements every celebration.

The love and support we’ve received continues to amaze us. Because of your referrals, kind words, repeat clients, and the trust of families traveling from out of state, we’re already booking weddings and events into October 2027—with only a handful of dates remaining.

To every client who has believed in Adriana’s Cocina, thank you. Your support allows us to keep growing, creating, and doing what we love most.

Here’s to many more unforgettable celebrations. 🥂

Since 2012, our family has poured our hearts into Adriana’s Cocina. We’ve sacrificed sleep, weekends, holidays, and time, but we’ve also built something we’re incredibly proud of.

Growth isn’t just about adding services—it’s about building a team you trust.

We officially launched our bar services, along with our dessert bar, salsa bar, and tapas stations and have only offered these services exclusively to our brides and families that requested these services for a reason.

I’m incredibly proud to pass more responsibility to my daughter, Chantelle, who has been running this business with me since day one. She managed the front of the house in our restaurant, has led our bar service, and has an incredible ability to connect with guests while keeping everything running smoothly.

My son Alex has always had a gift for hospitality. His personality, professionalism, and genuine care for people make every guest feel welcomed. He will continue supporting our banquet operations, assisting with bar service, and helping create an exceptional guest experience.

As for me… you’ll still find me where I love to be—in the kitchen. But after cooking for weddings and events of up to 250-300 guests, sometimes on back-to-back weekends, I often arrive at the venue already physically exhausted.

Having a team I trust allows me to focus on what I do best while ensuring every event is executed with the same level of care our clients have always expected.

Many people only see the food on event day. What they don’t see are the months of planning behind it—the unlimited phone calls, emails, meetings, timeline revisions, menu changes, ordering, staffing, design details, logistics, and countless hours of preparation. That’s all part of what we do because we genuinely care about every event.

This next chapter isn’t about me stepping away.

It’s about building leaders, strengthening our team, and creating an even better experience for every client who trusts us with life’s biggest celebrations.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in our family and allowing us to be part of yours.

Here’s to the next chapter of Adriana’s Cocina. ❤️

My life as a Cook 🧑‍🍳 Chef 🧑‍🍳 Mom 👩 Grandma 👵

Turning 50 teaches you to finally accept yourself exactly as you are. Small things like quiet moments , a cup of hot coffee , a walk on the beach, travel, laughter , your life is finally at peace took awhile to get here 😁

I have one of the toughest responsibilities on the planet, but when you stop and see how far you’ve grown, all the long days, sacrifices, and hard moments become worth it.

For the new followers who may not know me personally, my goal has never been to be “the best.” My goal has always been to provide exactly what was promised delicious food made with love, purpose, and intention and to strive for excellence in communication, collaboration, service.

Weddings are truly my passion. Are they easy? Absolutely not. But being part of such important moments in people’s lives is incredibly rewarding. We are there to bring our clients’ vision to life, and I take that responsibility seriously.

I started in 2012 cooking for local school sports teams and never imagined it would become my career. Looking back now, I truly believe this is my purpose in life.

What people don’t see is the weeks of preparation behind every event — scheduling, ordering, prepping, cooking, cleaning, organizing, and leading a team. It’s so much more than one day.

I promise you, great vendors book fast. I’m always excited to work with vendors I personally know because peace of mind is everything when walking into a wedding knowing the day is going to be seamless. ❤️

To everyone who has supported us, trusted us, and shared life moments with us — thank you. ❤️

With Love ,
Adriana

There’s always that one question …what makes you different?

The truth is, every chef, every caterer, every cook is different. And we take pride in that.

Our style, our fusion of flavors, our techniques, and the way we craft and customize each menu—that’s what sets us apart.

Anyone in this industry knows it’s easy to stick to a basic menu. The kind you can cook with your eyes closed because you’ve made it so many times. That’s comfortable. That’s predictable.

But what we do goes beyond that.

When you start combining cultures, flavors, and influences, while also creating options for carnivores, picky eaters, vegetarians, vegans, and guests with allergies—it becomes something entirely different. It’s not easy. It takes intention.

We don’t know every single person who will attend your event, and it’s impossible to please everyone perfectly. But what we can do is create food that reflects you—your taste, your vision, your experience.

That’s why we always say: choose what you love.

Because at the end of the day, we stay true to what we believe in—fresh, from scratch , made-to-order food. And once you experience that, it’s hard to go back.

You notice the difference. The details matter.

Pollo Marina !!

This is such an amazing dish, and we love when couples select it for their tasting experience.

Abuela would be proud—this chicken is smothered in a creamy chipotle sauce with mushrooms, onions, and garlic. There’s no way this won’t be a guest favorite.

Finished with all of our wedding tastings and now officially booking into 2027! ✨

This Mediterranean tasting also included a few Latin dishes to complement both fusions, creating such a beautiful and flavorful combination.

We’re excited for another year of bringing new add-ons and ideas to our wedding packages — stay tuned!

And to all the couples who have already booked with us, thank you. We are truly grateful you chose us to be part of such a special day.

What Are We Known For?

Although many searches categorize us as a traditional Mexican cuisine caterer, what we are truly known for is something far more personal , and far more distinctive.

We are known for family-style dining with a modern twist, where bold Mexican flavors meet Mediterranean influence in a way that feels elevated, intentional, and deeply rooted in tradition.

Why Are We Different?

Because this isn’t trend-driven fusion.
It’s lived experience.

For over 25 years, my family celebrated Christmas blending Latin and Mediterranean dishes around one table. Those meals weren’t just food — they were connection, culture, and creativity. Watching those flavors coexist so naturally is what shaped how I create menus today.

When I build a menu, I’m not just combining cuisines.
I’m combining memories, balance, and fresh ingredients in a way that feels cohesive never forced.

That’s why our menus feel different.
• Fresh ingredients always come first
• Flavors are bold but balanced
• Every dish complements the next
• Family-style service creates connection at the table

It’s elevated comfort.
It’s intentional fusion.
It’s culture served beautifully.

And most importantly it means something.

Good Morning ☀️

Because I rarely do videos, I wanted to reintroduce myself to all of our new followers and share something important.

We’ve proudly been in business since 2012. Everything we offer our menus, our packages, our ex*****on has been built from years of experience, trial, refinement, and real-life event logistics.

Over the years, I’ve spent countless hours creating custom menus at no cost because I truly care about delivering something perfect for each couple. But I’ve learned that working harder isn’t always working smarter.

Moving forward, I am booking serious clients only.

If you’re reaching out, please understand that the time, creativity, and planning that go into each proposal are intentional and valuable. We do not provide detailed breakdowns for comparison shopping, nor can I answer for how other catering companies structure their pricing or services.

If you’re not prepared to invest in having us onsite to execute your wedding day properly, then we may not be the right fit and that’s okay. The right clients understand that what we provide goes far beyond food. It’s experience, logistics, staffing, timing, and seamless ex*****on.

To planners or businesses seeking information to build your own packages , I encourage you to do your own research and pricing, just as I did when building mine. This industry requires dedication and understanding of the full scope behind the scenes.

To the clients who have trusted us over the years thank you. Your referrals, reviews, and continued support keep this family business growing, and I am deeply grateful.

We are here for the couples who value quality, professionalism, and partnership.

Adriana’s Cocina & Catering
“A family business “

Understanding our clients is essential — but just as important is making sure we’re the perfect match. This is a partnership. You choose us, and we choose you.

Creating the perfect menu for your family and friends takes intention, experience, and heart. We are known for bringing bold Latin and Mediterranean flavors to the table, and we work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure every detail is executed exactly as planned.

Hours of thoughtful preparation go into each event. Trust in the team you hire matters. It’s never just about the dollars spent — it’s about investing in professionals who show up, deliver, and stand behind their reputation.

For every client who has entrusted us with their celebration, know this: we build real working relationships. We build trust. And we operate with integrity in everything we promise — and often, even more than expected.
