WHO WE ARE.

Rooted in Culture is a Jamaican-inspired catering and floral design company. We believe that our roots and traditions can co-exist in a world that is funky, sexy, and sensationally vulgar, and that unconventional expressions of that culture can be executed with poise, elegance, and tastefulness. Through our choices in color, food, spices, and décor, we strive to create authentic spaces with authentic people— an unforgettable experience rooted in culture.

FLORAL DESIGN.

Bold colors, muted tones, and earthy designs with a modern flair, that's our vibe. We work with the natural lines of the flowers instead forcing them to our will. Check us out here.

WHAT THEY SAY
ABOUT US.

Your Soul Needs This

"The experience of dining in the atmosphere and food created and served by Rooted in Culture is what ones’ soul needs. The dishes appear appetizing and appealing to your senses that at least three are heightened; your eyes are fascinated by the array of color of the fresh vegetables used, your nose smells the rich aromas when the pot lid is raised and the taste has remarkable depth with the layer of flavors. The Chef doesn’t disappoint, her range of culinary dishes from Ackee, Jerk everything, braised oxtail and soul stirring hearty soups - earned her a reputation that is richly deserved. "

The Best Experience

"Rooted In Culture provides THE BEST of experiences. To share in a gathering hosted by Rooted In Culture is to feast on exquisitely prepared food, from recipes passed down through generations. You will also have the opportunity to witness the unprecedented beauty of floral arrangements created with both tremendous skill and love. "

Absolutely Amazing

"Rooted In Culture and Nichole are absolutely amazing! From the beginning it was a pleasure to work with her, the communication was professional, friendly, and transparent. Nichole has exceeded our expectations and her flower arrangements made our wedding day extra special and created pictures and moments we will cherish for life. Would highly recommend and I’m excited to request her services again in the future. "

Food Is Art

"Who makes a parfait from plantain and ackee and saltfish?? Food is art... EVERYTHING was perfect! Sorrel and pineapple ginger drink I liked for the first time. I would definitely recommend this business there was nothing overlooked. Handpicked floral arrangements were simple and sweet. I have attended two dinner functions and enjoyed the food, ambiance and vibes. "

Never Been Dissapointed

"I have always had such a great time any time an event was hosted by Rooted in Culture! The owner, Nichole, is awesome and really takes pride in what she delivers to her customers. The food is always sooooooo good, and always fresh, the type of dishes you know were made with love. The flowers and decorations are always so beautiful to see! I have never been disappointed with Rooted in Culture."

Better Than I Could Have Imagined

"We had the pleasure of working with Nichole and Rooted in Culture for the reopening ceremony of the James Earl Jones Theatre. From start to finish, Nichole made the process completely seamless for us. She really listened to what exactly we were looking for, sent us a detailed proposal and communicated what she needed the day of. The arrangements were absolutely stunning and better than I could have imagined. She worked to highlight the updated décor while still acknowledging the classic look of a Broadway theatre. I seriously couldn’t recommend Rooted in Culture more and my team and I look forward to working with her again! "
