Madeline Repidonis
She’s the product of a Greek-Italian family, yet she’s planned some of the most successful and interesting Bar and Bat Mitzvahs Executive Caterers has ever had. You’re about to find out why:
She lived abroad in the Mediterranean for eleven years. She’s a formal graduate of both culinary arts and business management. If Madeline sounds too good to be true, well, that’s just the way her clients think of her—clients who host all manner of social events, from special anniversaries, milestone birthdays, family reunions and everything in between.
When asked to describe herself, she says, “Being that I am Greek-Italian, I have that old fashioned traditional side of me. Coming from a warm and hospitable nationality and culture has helped me in bonding with the families and making them feel comfortable and exited about planning such a special day…” Her traditional values notwithstanding, Madeline makes it a point to keep up with the latest developments in fashion, design and cuisine to make sure each event she plans is unique.
