Wedding Catering with a Taste of Jamaica
Opening February 2027 — Joan's Jamaican Cuisine is getting the kitchen ready, and catering begins when we open in February 2027. Everything on this page is a first look — the full details will be posted here at launch.
A wedding table worth remembering
Some wedding food is forgotten before the dancing starts. A Jamaican spread is not. Oxtail that simmers for hours, curry goat the way it is made back home, jerk chicken with real pimento smoke — this is food guests go back for seconds of, and talk about on the drive home.
How a wedding spread comes together
The classics anchor the table: oxtail, curry goat, jerk chicken and curry chicken, served buffet-style with rice & peas, fried plantains, festival, steamed cabbage & greens and Jamaican mac & cheese. There is plenty for every guest at the table — curry chicken is made gentle for milder tastes, and Jamaican cooking has naturally meat-free favorites like rice & peas in coconut milk, sweet plantains and seasoned greens.
