Catering can be a large portion of your budget depending on your preferred choices. While a Buffet is a Sit Down dinner service guests will be asked to come to the buffet to make their own meal. Plated Dinners and Share Platters offer service to guests at their tables. While the cost per person may only vary slightly on your selected menu, additional staff will be required for the service and clearing to follow. Why do I need more staff for a plated meal? Service levels can vary for each function, the level of service required will depend on the number of staff required. Desserts...yummy...while some guests can't wait to have dessert and ask to take one home for their children, it is not always everyone's favourite course. Desserts can be your Wedding Cake, separate dessert or maybe you would like to have a donut wall or cheese platter. Anything is possible these days. We do cater for wedding receptions that have wedding cake as well as plated desserts, some don't have desserts at all. We recommend having some dessert or sweet option for guests. Even if it is a nice cookie for Grandma to have with her cup of tea. She will appreciate it!

Talk & Fork Catering is a cocktail style of service which doesn't require formal seating. Guests can walk around and socialise while enjoying our catering as Finger Foods and Talk & Fork Mini Meals are walked around to guests to enjoy. No seating required.
It is always nice to have seating available for guests, especially for parents or grandparents or mothers with children. We ask if you can provide 1-2 tables and cloths for our catering service, depending on the location and number of guests. While platters are walked around it is always great to have a secondary point of food for guests. It is always beneficial to have bins and bin liners available where guests will be, there is always rubbish and this helps guests and staff to keep the area clean throughout the service. A separate bin for bar rubbish including recyclable bottles is also recommended. Our Bundle 3 is a very popular catering option for Cocktail Style events and functions. We offer a substantial catering service with choice for guests served over several hours or to suit your run sheet.

This is lovely for people open their homes for us however as we provide all our own catering equipment this is not practical space wise. The garage is the best place for us onsite, sounds strange to some however this is why... It is close to parking, offers a sheltered undercover area with access to power, lighting and water, has space for our onsite preparations and is within walking distance to where guests will be.

Frequently Asked Questions Finger Foods or Grazing Table Which do I choose for my wedding?? I am asked this question a lot since COVID restrictions are easing and share catering is now permitted again. While we have always had our catering options for the Grazing Table on platters rather than spread onto a table I always prefer Finger Food service. As someone who works behind the scenes in preparation as well as onsite with service I have learnt the most popular for all functions is Finger Food Canapes. Why is this you ask? Finger Foods offer the flexibility for staff to walk platters of food around to guests to enjoy. This allows guests to relax, have a drink and conversation without the worry of missing out on eating. Lets face it, wedding and event days can be busy with getting ready and travel so by the time its time to relax you are hungry. Very hungry, and with the mix of alcohol it is important for guests to know they will be well fed. I see this all too often at functions; guests start chatting and don’t want to break a conversation to move to the food table or station. Finger Foods allow guests to move around freely and enjoy time with friends and family with platters of catering walked around to guests. When guests know they will be well fed they relax and really enjoy themselves. We will always ensure guests are fed!

We appreciate it is a busy day getting ready so ensuring you eat is very important. A beautiful buffet display not only looks and smells amazing, it really sets the mood for the second part of your event. Guests can be seated knowing they will be well fed and catered for. Our buffet settings are designed for guests to flow either side of the table to ensure a social yet smooth and efficient service. This will be ready for service at a preset time for your event or on your return from Bridal Party photographs.
