“The Abbey Catering & Event Company was AMAZING! We had our wedding reception at the Martin Johnson House on 9/12/2026. Huge shout-out to David Robertson, our coordinator, who was truly the best. From start to finish, the Abbey was support helpful and informed about the wedding planning process. I found that to be super helpful as it was my first time planning a wedding! Troy was up to date with all the prices and had great knowledge of the venue! Thank you to Leslie, our event captain, who took the time to make sure we were well feed!! I found the all in 1 catering option to be very benifical. I loved that the Abbey had cotacts for Photographer, DJ, Cake, Florist, & more. All of our vendors through the Abbey were supper helpful and had the best vibes. Our photographer was Chris Wood from SD Photo Studio who captured our wedding perfectly. Our DJ was DJ Andrew Shaba from Wedding Entertainment collective and he kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Mishele from emerald and ivy created the best floral arrangments. Sugar Bear Bakery had such delicous cupcakes! Thank you to the Abbey Company & all of the vendors they work with! We had the best night! The food was also amazing! Don't sleep on the date stuffed with feta wrapped in bacon! -The Lottermosers”

“Working with Chef Cooper was straightforward and easy. We were having the wedding in our backyard, so did not have an industrial kitchen and were renting everything. He was super great about letting us know exactly what he would need considering the circumstances which ending up being very reasonable as he could use our kitchen and brought a lot of his own supply. The day of, Chef Cooper and his team were friendly, on-time, and handled all the details! The food was super tasty and fresh. There was a really nice range on the menu and our guests with dietary restrictions had great alternatives that fit right in. I would definitely recommend and would hire again!”

We pamper your tastebuds with authentic African Foods. To us, it’s more than just food, it’s a brand. It’s THE JOLAS KITCHEN BRAND. We have created a brand, with some amazing loyalty.

It’s cooked with parboiled rice in a mixture of carefully selected peppers to give you that authentic taste of Nigerian Jollof. Looking forward to bringing our flavors to your next event!

“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!”

Jazzy was professional in communication and following up with our requests. We wanted the menu to be half vegan and half non-vegan and it delievered. Our guests couldn’t decide what their favorite items were. I still dream about the onion tarts and crab cakes!! They were an amazing part of our special day and I would recommend them to anyone.
