Umami Mami Catering

Umami Mami Catering is an Oakland-based catering operation led by chef GiGi, offering Vietnamese fusion menus made from scratch for weddings, private dinners, and events. GiGi builds custom menus blending Vietnamese comfort with Southern warmth, with a focus on inclusive catering covering vegan, gluten-free, halal, and low-FODMAP needs, alongside styled grazing tables and multi-course private dinners. GiGi's background includes cooking on boats, at retreats, and at Burning Man, with weddings on the West Coast and events ranging from off-grid campouts in Oregon to corporate retreats. Available nationwide, from California to New York and everywhere in between. Couples highlight GiGi's ability to adapt on the fly under difficult conditions, her custom tasting process, organized team, and food that guests kept talking about long after the event.
