A distinct culinary tradition
Bay Area Dominican wedding catering — not just Caribbean, not just Latin.
Dominican cuisine has its own identity — shaped by African, Indigenous Taíno, and Spanish influences into something entirely its own. For couples with Dominican roots, it's a way to honor that heritage on the most important day of their lives. For couples who simply love the food, it's a way to give their guests something genuinely memorable.
We've catered weddings at venues across the Bay Area — from Oakland's Fruitvale to Marin's waterfront spaces. Every event gets a custom menu consultation with Chef Franklyn.
The Wedding Menu
Signature Dominican dishes for your wedding
Every dish is made from scratch. We work with you to build a custom menu that reflects your taste, your heritage, and your guests' dietary needs.
Pollo Guisado
Braised chicken in a rich sofrito tomato sauce — a crowd-pleasing second protein for mixed-preference guest lists.
Arroz con Habichuelas
Dominican red beans and rice, cooked low and slow. The foundation of the wedding spread.
Tostones
Twice-fried green plantains, made fresh. A signature side that guests remember long after the wedding.
Maduros
Sweet caramelized ripe plantains — the dish that brings the whole table together.
Sancocho
Hearty seven-meat Dominican stew — a meaningful choice for couples who want to honor Dominican tradition.
Full wedding menu and pricing available on request — we accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and halal dietary needs.
