From the very first message, they were incredibly responsive, helpful, and on top of everything. During our planning meeting, they asked questions I hadn’t even thought of and made the entire process feel effortless. We gave them full creative freedom with the charcuterie cups, and they absolutely blew it out of the water!!

“Jolas Kitchen catered at our wedding on December 27th. I cannot say enough good things about Chef Jola, she was so communicative, and made excellent recommendations and suggestions, which was so helpful to me as a first time bride who had never planned such a large event before. We were absolutely blown away by the presentation, and the care and attentiveness of chef Jola and her team. I have never worked with such thoughtful and kind caterers, they really thought of everything and made the night such a wonderful and stress free experience for us. The food was absolutely amazing and our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved everything, from the Beef Suya (my personal favorite) to the Cole Slaw, to the Jollof and Meat Pies, and the Puff Puff. A lot of brides don’t eat much on their wedding day, but I cleaned my whole plate and even took some home with me. Highly recommend!”

What really set them apart was how they handled everything—from the food itself to our cake, decorations, and even the alcohol. Their Head Chef and crew brought such skill and warmth to our wedding day that our guests are still talking about it. April Mae's didn't just cater our event; they made sure it was truly special. If you want your wedding day to be the best of your life, this is the team to call.”
