Extraordinary Events Through Genuine Partnership
Led by Executive Chef Leo Valansi, we transform celebrations into unforgettable experiences across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Extraordinary events need more than great food. They need genuine partnership. At HLB Catering, we deliver complete experiences across Melbourne and regional Victoria, from grand weddings and sophisticated corporate events to intimate private functions, birthday celebrations, and exclusive private chef experiences.
We service Melbourne and surrounding areas including Mentone, Bayside, Mornington Peninsula, and Yarra Valley, bringing premium catering wherever your event takes you.
Chef Leo Valansi leads our kitchen with almost 20 years of fine dining experience. He blends modern techniques with international recipes, bringing what he calls "bursts of flavour" to every dish.
His passion shows in the quality of each meal and the care we take with every client. Leo's unwavering dedication to exceptional customer service and beautifully crafted meals ensures every dish is a work of art.
"I like to play with those international bursts of flavour to bring magic to my customers."
