Common Questions

What types of events does a Melbourne catering company typically cover?

A full-service Melbourne caterer typically covers weddings, corporate events, birthdays, engagements, cocktail functions, private functions, funerals, and school or sporting club events. We handle all of these, for guest counts from 10 to 500+.

Can a caterer handle both one-off events and ongoing corporate bookings?

Yes. We cater one-off events like weddings and private functions, and support ongoing corporate arrangements like recurring office lunches, with the same setup, service, and pack-down every time.

How far in advance should you book catering for a wedding versus a corporate event?

At least three weeks ahead for weddings and larger private functions, especially on weekends and in peak season. Corporate catering is usually quoted within 24 hours and can often be arranged on shorter notice.

Can you get a food tasting before booking a caterer?

Many caterers offer this for larger bookings. We provide a complimentary menu tasting for weddings and events with 70 or more guests.

What's included in a wedding or corporate catering package?

A full-service package typically includes the food, setup, professional waitstaff, and complete pack-down at the end. We include all of this as standard on every wedding and corporate booking, not as an optional extra.

Is there a minimum guest number for catering in Melbourne?

Most full-service caterers can accommodate small gatherings as well as large events. We cater from as few as 10 guests up to 500 or more, for both private and corporate events.

Do caterers offer delivery-only, or is staff always required?

Both options are usually available. We offer full-service bookings with setup, waitstaff, and pack-down included, as well as delivery-only for customers who just need the food dropped off.
