THE WILDERNESS CHEF REVIEWS

Wilderness chef catered our event in November, serving canape & dessert for 18 people. We cannot fault their food and service. Cooper and James were a great team, and interacted well with our guests. We had 2 vegetarians who received the same amount of canapés as everyone else, so they did not miss out on a single thing. Would have them cater again anytime.

James and team provided canapes for 90 guests at our wedding at The Church, Carrington in September and did the most amazing job! Having been lucky enough to have had a Wilderness Chef experience before we had full confidence and they did not let us down. Delicious food and exceptional service - no notes! Thank you, Jordan & Libby.

The Wilderness Chef team catered our wedding in July 2024 and they were just amazing. Not only did they make beautiful food, but they were beautiful people and absolute professionals. We were so impressed and would recommend them to anyone! Got so many compliments from guests about the fantastic canapés, mains and deserts!

FENNEL & CO. CATERING REVIEWS

You need Fennel and Co at your wedding or next event! The professionalism of everyone within their team is unmatched. We had a great experience from the initial booking process through to the menu tasting and then the epic service and food on the day/night of our wedding. Every dish was perfection! There was so much food, no one went hungry and the guests are still messaging us about their favourite dishes. The communication is amazing, they get back to you so quickly and no question is a silly question - they are so happy to help wherever they possibly can. They were so accommodating to all of our dietary requirements for our guests and there were a few, those guest also raved about their food. Their bar and wait staff were so professional, patient and kind to everyone on our day. Thank you Fennel and Co for everything.

The food was absolutely amazing for our wedding recently! We had so many of our guests tell us how great it all was. Thank you Tess, James and the rest of the team for creating such delicious food and for having excellent communication skills making it a breeze to work with you.

Fennell & Co were truly one of the best parts of our wedding day. We’ve been married over a year and our guests still mention how incredible the food and service was!

SPROUT CATERING REVIEWS

We used Sprout to cater our wedding and they were phenomenal! They went above and beyond for us to ensure things went well on the day. Everyone raved about how good the food was and have been complimenting the food for weeks now. They were so easy to deal with and I can't recommend them highly enough. Would definitely use them again.

When picking Tocal Homestead as the venue for our wedding, we were a little concerned that we couldn't choose the caterer. Well, there was no need to worry, Sprout were incredible! Kalila took such great care of my wife and I and personally made sure we had a great time. And even now, a year later, guests still rave about the food.

We used Sprout catering for our Wedding in March and I could not recommend them highly enough. The whole team from making the booking, to the service, to the food was 5 stars. Could not have wished for anymore. Thank you from Donna and Rod Mcgee.
