Firstly, We would like to congratulate you and your partner for celebrating your big day and we would love to be a part of it to make it a memorable and magical experience. We know it’s a big deal choosing the right service for wedding catering. Here’s why we think you should choose Whisk.
Whisk offers a sumptuous wedding catering experience to compliment your wedding with excellent European style cuisine. Our menu is designed with a high-end farm to table approach and uses some of the best ingredients New Zealand has to offer. For our proteins, we proudly use 55-day aged eye fillets, line caught fish, king salmon and Bostock organic chicken. We also hand-pick our produce with a focus on seasonality and quality.
Your Whisk story begins by sending us a message, email or giving us a call via our our contact page. We are more than happy to come to you to meet in person to discuss your vision for the special day.
We will custom design a bespoke menu to fit your style and theme. We can also offer a suggested menu that we are confident your guests will love. If you’d like we can also make tweaks and add your favourite ingredients to give you an imperative personal touch to the menu. We will also talk about dietary requirements, discuss the number of guests to cater for, and can talk about a table/seating plan.
Once we know exactly what you’re looking for, We will send you a quote. Once approved, it just takes a 30% deposit to confirm the date. The full payment will be due three weeks prior to the wedding day with confirmation of the final number of attendees.
We know questions will arise as the big day approaches, so we will be in touch with you about a month out to go over the fine details to make sure your wedding catering goes smoothly.
Having done most of the prep work in our own kitchen the day before, we will arrive a few hours before the start of your ceremony to set up and finalise the menu items. This will also give us time to also go over any last-minute changes or adjustments.
Set-up will begin mid-morning and the front of house staff will usually start arriving just after midday to help make final adjustments or movements. You can confidently leave it all to us.
We will follow up the next day or days after to check if all the hire equipment has been collected and if everything went to plan.
If you are having a barbecue the following day, we can look after that as well.
