The Knotted Apron

Mexican Sangria with Tequila Cazadores. Doesn't get better than that. Happy New Year!

Let have some fun in the comforts of our own home. Join us for a fun and interactive cooking experience next Wednesday. Have a few Tito’s Vodka inspired cocktails, music, food and laughs. So don’t delay.

Had our first event last night at the new location. Plenty of space for social distancing. Couldn’t have asked for a better start to a New Chapter of The Knotted Apron.

#Repost @theknottedapronevents Thank you for those who have been patiently waiting as to what’s the next step in booking an event with The Knotted Apron. Here are pictures of the patio I will be using to host your event. The patio is definitely larger and can accommodate more guest. If you are interested, please email [email protected] for details.

It’s with a heavy heart that I have to make this announcement. After 5 wonderful and memorable years in Whittier. The Knotted Apron is closing it doors in the city of Whittier. The decision was made due to unforeseen circumstances as well as Covid. The building will no longer be used as an event space. As I am deeply saddened by this outcome. It’s not the end of The Knotted Apron. Please continue to follow me to see what happens next. Although, the future is unpredictable with this pandemic I am optimistic that The Knotted Apron will make a comeback in some form. *For those of you that have future booked events or gift certificates, please contact me. We can discuss what’s next and/or possible alternatives. #bemindfulbekind

Five (5) years ago today, I received the keys to The Knotted Apron. I remember walking into the building and asking myself. What did you get yourself into? I was nervous and excited. At first I was not confident enough to teach the cooking classes. I would hire other chefs to conduct the classes for me. Staff only consisted of my little sister and myself. This meant it was only the two of us working all the events and classes. We had extremely long working days. We wou...ld arrive at 1pm to set up and close up around 3am-6am to get ready for the following day. It was tough and I wanted to give up at times. Little by little with the help of the Mayor of Whittier, The Whittier Association and my fellow business owners my business grew and I was able to add staff. I was relieved and kept pushing to make more business contacts. My business grew through positive referrals and community support. Two years into a growing business my family was faced with a terrible tragedy. My first and only son passed away. I. didn’t know what to do. I wanted to give up my heart was full of sorrow and not into my business anymore. I wanted to give up and close the business. However, I knew my son would be disappointed if I did. So a few months after, I gained the confidence to start teaching the cooking classes myself and brought on new staff to manage my events. My life changed. My passion for cooking was revitalized and I loved it. My kids became my motivation and I haven’t stopped since. I’m so grateful for the memories and the wonderful friendships that have developed because of my business. I am so happy and blessed to have made it to five years. I look forward to the next five. Thank you all for embracing me and my business. I love and thank you all. #bemindfulbekind #5yearanniversary See more

Los Angeles County officials are recommending that the stay-at-home order be extended for the next three months. This is definitely a difficult time not only for my business but for others as well. I’m optimistic that that this order date can change. In the meantime, for those who have booked events in the upcoming months. Please feel free to contact George to postpone your event or use your credit towards a future event. Most importantly, I’m working hard to keep my door...s open for future events. We can assist you with planning on future events and holding dates (with deposit). Thank you once again for your support and I pray and look forward to hosting your special events. #eventplanner #eventspace #venuerental #specialoccasion #celebrations #covid19sucks #supportlocal #dontcancelpostpone #dontcancelreschedule #businessowner #weareinthistogether #entertainmentindustry #catering #tryingtosurvive #localbusiness #bepositive #bemindfulbekind See more
