About Plated Catering

Plated Catering

Head Chef and Owner

Hi, I’m Kaela Peguese, founder and chef of Plated Catering. My passion for cooking comes from bringing people together through memorable meals and meaningful experiences. What began as a lifelong love for food has grown into a business dedicated to creating elevated dining experiences for weddings and special events. We specialize in customized menus, exceptional hospitality, and beautifully presented cuisine. Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a grand reception, our goal is to make your wedding day as unforgettable as the memories you’ll create.

At Plated Catering, we believe catering should be an experience, not just a meal. As a chef-owned business, every menu is thoughtfully designed with quality ingredients, bold flavors, and beautiful presentation. We offer customizable menus and interactive dining options, including our signature live pasta station, where guests can personalize their meals and watch them prepared fresh on-site. Our hands-on approach, attention to detail, and commitment to outstanding service allow us to create a unique and memorable experience tailored to each couple’s vision.

    Outstanding

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about this personal chef and catering service! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely outstanding. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with attention to detail, and our guests could not stop talking about how delicious everything was. The professionalism, organization, and customer service exceeded all expectations. The menu was thoughtfully planned, and every request was accommodated with care. Not only was the food amazing, but the presentation elevated the entire event and made it feel truly special. If you're looking for a caterer who delivers exceptional quality, outstanding service, and unforgettable food, I highly recommend Plated Catering. I will definitely be booking again for future events!
