Ahavá - Love from the Kitchen
Ahava Catering, LLC, owned and operated by Sonia Gutierrez, is built on faith, hospitality, and joyful service — proudly based in Parker, Colorado and serving events in Denver, Colorado Springs, and across Colorado.
Our Story
Ahavá Catering grew from a simple belief — that every meal made with love brings people closer together.
Cooking has always been part of my family’s life and faith. From parish celebrations to family gatherings, we’ve always found joy in sharing food, laughter, and a sense of togetherness around the table. Over time, what started as cooking for friends and church events grew into something bigger — a calling to serve our community through food.
“Love from the Kitchen” isn’t just our tagline; it’s what we live by. Every dish, every event, and every celebration is prepared with the same care and joy we share in our own home.
Our Values
Faith
Guided by gratitude and service in everything we do.
Family
Meals are made with the same care we’d show our own loved ones.
Community
We’re proud to serve the people and parishes that feel like home.
Quality
Every dish is made from scratch, with fresh ingredients and attention to detail.
Our Team
We’re more than a team — we’re family. Each event is a collaboration of love, faith, and hard work, from prepping the first dish to serving the last dessert.
Our Faith & Community Involvement
Faith is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that food has a special way of bringing people together — not just around a table, but in service and community. We’re honored to support parish celebrations, church ministries, charity fundraisers, and community events that share this same spirit of fellowship and care. Whether preparing meals for a parish gathering, contributing to a local benefit dinner, or helping with community outreach, we see every event as an opportunity to serve others with love and gratitude. We’re proud to support Catholic Charities of Denver and other local parish ministries.
Our Commitment to Food Safety
We follow recognized food safety and professional standards to ensure every event is prepared and served with care and confidence. Our certifications and licenses reflect our ongoing training and a commitment to responsible food handling and service.

What our Clients Say
My partner and I used Ahava Catering for our wedding over the weekend and we cannot recommend them enough! Sonia was communicative from the start, invited us to taste the food prior to booking and her and her team came early to set up the buffet table! The food was delicious and we got so many compliments from our friends and family. We would definitely recommend anyone hire Ahava Catering for your next event. It is a family run business that truly cares about their clients and the quality of their food. Thank you, Sonia and team!
