As the afternoon sun shone down on the beautiful Victoria countryside, Brendon and Dvorah exchanged vows in front of 96 of their nearest and dearest on November 19, 2022. And behind the scenes, the Crave Catering & Events team worked tirelessly to ensure everything was perfect for this special wedding.
Read on to see how Crave Catering & Events made this couple’s dream wedding catering a reality.
Laid-back wedding catering
The couple chose a picturesque location—the stunning grounds of the Taradale House, just outside Melbourne. The lush green lawns made for an idyllic backdrop, while the tall trees provided a natural canopy so guests could enjoy the gorgeous weather.
The couple’s catering requirements were very specific. They wanted a catering package that reflected the laid-back vibe they wanted for their wedding. So, our team put together an event package and catering menu that fits their preference.
Our team of skilled chefs and service staff prepped all the food in our commercial kitchen in West Melbourne and assembled everything on-site for service. They arrived early to set up the kitchen, bar area, and grazing tables in the garden.
As the ceremony began, our team was on standby, ready to serve up the delicious canapes that had been carefully planned with the happy couple. And when the ceremony concluded at 3:00 PM, it was time for the champagne tower toast and the start of the canape and beverage service! The guests enjoyed themselves in the marquee and grassy areas dotted around the garden.
The party continued well into the night! At around 6:30 PM, the guests were treated to a sumptuous dinner feast served by our friendly waitstaff. The meal consisted of a selection of canapes, hors d’oeuvres, and shared dining dishes, which proved to be a hit with guests.
After dinner, our team remained on hand to keep the drinks flowing and the party going. And as the night came to a close, our staff packed up and said their goodbyes, leaving behind a trail of happy memories for Brendon and Dvorah to cherish for years to come.
