At Hermana we love to throw great parties and take on every detail to ensure your vision comes to life just as you’d imagined it.

The Hermana team is committed to overseeing every aspect of your event. Your involvement in the process is part of the experience, we encourage collaboration however, if leaving it to us is more suited for you then we’d love to lead the way.
We are a group of industry professionals that offer expert knowledge in navigating the many steps required to make a great party come to life.
What to Expect
We believe in throwing beautiful parties but understand that traditional weddings can be prohibitively expensive. Hermana offers a one time complimentary consulting session to understand your budget and vision. We want to work with you and can help you navigate the best options for your budget. If you are just getting started on your planning journey Chef Erin and her team are more than willing to share their experiences and insights in hopes that they can offer you some guidance in your initial steps. We also hope you’ll be the perfect fit to work with us.
What we Do for our Communities
We give back to our community. For every event that Hermana Catering takes on, 2-5% of the profit is donated to local food banks and hot meal programs. Our commitment to food justice is part of our mission and as our client list grows so does our postitive impact within a landscape of increased food insecurity.
Meet the Team
Chef Erin Moore decided to take her love of cooking and hosting by officially launching Hermana Catering in 2017. Formally trained at The Institute of Culinary Education, executive chef roles in NYC and innumerable wedding receptions have carved out a space for Erin in hospitality. Her cooking reflects a combination of reverence and curiosity for all cuisines and their cultures. Living in NYC for over 20 years and the couples she has worked with to plan the perfect menu have shaped her style of cooking. The foods of Spain are her personal favorite but this is just a small detail, she wants to impress your friends and family coming from every corner of the world with her ability to recreate the foods that feel like home.
A previous background in political science gave way to explore cuisines from every continent first hand, their preparations and culinary traditions. Erin’s commitment to food justice and time spent as a public school teacher before her leap into hospitality has granted her unique perspectives around the collective power of a shared meal. She believes that food should be luxurious but not a luxury. Erin will cook your favorite foods with love. She might even use one of your grandmother’s recipes if you ask her to.
