About James Madison Catering

James Madison Catering

Chefs and owners

Inspired by our children, Niko James and Chloe Madison, James Madison uses seasonal ingredients seduced by flavors worldwide. Nicole (CA) and Jonathan (NY), from opposite ends of the culinary spectrum, combine their expertise with every curated dish on the menu. We turn to our training in classical French techniques, infusing it with the fresh Mediterranean seasonality and Asian and Middle Eastern aromatics. Hospitality is the foundation of any memorable food experience. From our initial interactions and menu creation to the personal chef tasting and, finally, with the event itself, we strive to make it an elevated personable experience.

As a commitment to ourselves and our clients, we constantly strive to improve. Whether through continued education, or our favorite means of research and development, we are always looking for new ways of doing things or more flavors to bring to the table. We enjoy taking our clients on our menu creation journey to ensure that it is a true expression of their tastes, cultures, and traditions, new and old.

    James Madison Catering truly exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding. From the very beginning, Jonathan made us feel special by coming to our home for a private tasting, where he worked closely with us to craft the perfect menu. Leading up to the big day, their team remained incredibly supportive and flexible, ensuring everything was just right. The food was absolutely delicious, and all of our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! Beyond their culinary expertise, the team was so kind and attentive, showing a genuine care for our special day—something that can be hard to find in the wedding industry. We will undoubtedly be reaching out to James Madison Catering for all our future events!
