We’re away having a fabulous time in Menorca but wanted to drop you a message to say a huge thank you again to you and the whole team for such a wonderful wedding day.

The food was phenomenal, and the brilliant way you organised the event start to finish ensured we could relax and fully enjoy it all. The room looked spectacular too - we couldn’t have asked for more.

Thank you for keeping us reassured through the whole process, for dealing with the vendors and with our parents 😄. We’d be very happy to leave a review/testimonial - just let us know what platform is best.

Many thanks again.

Good morning from Singapore! We have had a moment to take Saturday in and WOW, it really was the best day of our lives! You both and your entire team were absolutely incredible, not just on the day but from our very first call.

We received millions of compliments on the food and service on the day and on the days that followed. You guys were honestly exceptional, and we really can't thank you enough.

Thank you too for the additional time at the end of the evening. Apologies, we were just having so much fun we didn't want the night to end!

Laura & Prash, August 2024

We have no words to express how grateful we are for what you did yesterday (and over all the recent months). We are slowly coming back to reality and realizing how awesome everything was - thanks to you and your team!

Honestly, you have both been amazing and we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making the day absolutely perfect. We knew we were in very good hands from the first day we met you, but we could not have imagined it would be so perfect. You have no idea how many people complimented us on the quality of the food; my mum fell in love with your fennel and roast pumpkins as she never tasted them so well-seasoned! Everyone also loved the great vibes, excellent drinks, the professional organisation which was peaceful without unnecessary stress, and how attentive and mindful all your team were. Please pass on our thanks to them as well.

Stunning! It will take some time for us to process all the emotions we went through yesterday, but we wanted to drop you a quick thank you as these feelings are still fresh in our memories. 

 Thank you. Obrigado. Grazie!

PS. We hope our words on Google will help other couples to have a great wedding with you guys.

Mattia & Guilherme, July 2024

 A huge thank you to you and the team, as ever, for Saturday. We have just about recovered.  We would very much like to do it all again next year - I suspect it will be on xxx but there is an outside possibility of it being xxx, which is my birthday. We will let you know very shortly.

 In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your summer and, once again, many thanks.

 We had the best day ever, and can’t thank you and all the staff enough for everything.

All the details were perfect, the food was delicious and everyone commented on it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

It was so fab working with you, thanks for being so flexible and bringing the vision to life – the client was thrilled and it all looked great.

It certainly was a great party. The food was incredible and the service was perfect. 

We’d be happy to provide a testimonial for you guys any time, and thanks for everything.

Liam and Lizzie, May 2024

Thank you for everything. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left, everything you and your team did was spotless. You were so kind and generous to us, always checking how we were doing and just making the day flow and feel so stress-free. So many people told us that it was the most efficient and well-organised wedding, with every transition smoothy executed. Every detail had been thought about and considered. 

And the food! Wow! ‘The best lamb I've ever had’ was said again and again and again. We were amazed how you managed to cook the meal for 100s of guests so perfectly! The best food I've ever eaten at a wedding by a mile. We wish Tasting Plates cooked all of our meals.

Thank you. It was the best day of our lives.

Harriet and Ned, May 2024

Georgia and I just wanted to say thank you again for Friday. The Tasting Plates team has been brilliant throughout the whole experience, and execution on the day was everything that we hoped for. We’ve had so many lovely comments about the food from guests - lots of whom have said it’s the best food they’ve had at a wedding! 

Georgia and Tom , May 2024

I think it's fair to say Scott and I are still a little overwhelmed. We keep receiving messages a week later and it's joyous and a relief that everyone seemed to have a very good time! A lot of this is, of course, down to you both.

Thank you for everything - we've had many, many comments on the food, the drinks, the general atmosphere, and we both couldn't be happier and more grateful for everything Tasting Plates did for us. 

Huge thanks. Cheers to YOU!

Richard and Scott, April 2024

We wanted to send you a message expressing our gratitude for Saturday and everything preceding it.  From the very start of the whole process you guided us through it so well. We’ve had people say it’s amazing they didn’t have a wedding planner and we’ve said we did - it was you guys! 

Joe’s guidance in the run up was incredibly helpful, and Toby your drinks estimate was pretty much spot on!

You were both very helpful on the day to me and helped everything run incredibly smoothly. Most importantly, all of the food you guys served was impeccable and by far the best we’ve ever had at any wedding (and we’ve had a lot of people say the same thing). On top of that people were very complimentary about the service they received too. 

We’d both be happy to write any testimonials or anything you need for your socials for recommendations for others. 

Pleasure to meet you both and thank you again for helping to make our day so special!

James and Leah, April 2024

Thank you so much for the most incredible evening. The food was impeccable, the drinks absolutely delicious and the service outstanding. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect night. You absolutely smashed it.

Tina VB, March 2024

It was wonderful to work with Tasting Plates for a second year running at our Salon Smart conference.

The food was just deeeelicous (I wish I could have taken home many, many doggy bags), and not only was the service wonderful - your staff are so happy and welcoming - the speed of it was awesome; just what we needed to make sure we fed our hungry guests swiftly and smoothly.  

Thank you so much for all your efforts, and the team’s too, and we hope to work with you again very soon.

Joanna, Alfol Ltd/Salon Smart, March 2024

Thank you, and your lovely staff, for taking such good care of our guests at our event last night. The bar looked beautiful, and the service was delightful; it was such a pleasure to work with the Tasting Plates team once again.

Good intel, too, that even on a chilly November evening, rosé vino seemed to be the drink du jour!

Joanna, Alfol Ltd/Creative Head magazine, November 2023

Just a message to say thank you so so much for Saturday. You and your team were absolutely incredible - the day was perfect and better than we could have ever imagined. 

Our friends and family were so impressed - we have had a lot of ‘best wedding we have ever been to’ - and that is totally down to you guys. The food was unreal, the tables were honestly so amazing, I genuinely gasped when I saw them.

Also, thank you for being so patient. There were a lot of drunk people - I hope it wasn’t too annoying for you all. My dad said people were skidding on the floor - so glad I didn’t witness that!

Please pass on our thanks to the whole team - they were so attentive. Cannot praise them enough. Anyway, we will recommend you to everyone we know. 

Carla and Christian, November 2023

We wanted to thank you again for doing such a great job last Saturday and for being so accommodating throughout. The set-up, food and service throughout the evening were outstanding.

We received lots of unprompted comments about how beautiful the tables were and how delicious all the food was. Several guests said it was the best food they'd had at a wedding, so please extend our compliments to the chefs!

You also personally did a sterling job of making sure it all somehow ran to time and went to plan, despite some unexpected requests (we have both worked in events before, so we know that they come with great pressure and lots of behind-the-scenes work). Please also extend our thanks to the excellent bar and waiting staff we had. They were all so efficient, helpful and friendly with everyone. You were right about there being a lot of food - I hope there wasn't too much waste!

All in all we had such a fun time, and all our guests did too. So a sincere thank you from us for playing a very significant and memorable role in that - not just in serving up excellent food, but in helping to create the relaxed yet lively atmosphere that we had wanted. 

We'll be sure to recommend you to anyone looking for a caterer.

Rita and Dominic, November 2023

Highly recommend Tasting Plates!

Nobody likes bad wedding food. My husband and I are food lovers so obviously we wanted to serve our wedding guests a great meal. Toby and Joe did not disappoint!

They also served as day-of coordination for the reception venue, for which I am hugely grateful - including seamlessly handling a last-minute emergency.

Thank you for taking such great care of us, assisting with all the decisions and craziness of wedding-planning, and bringing our vision together for a beautiful evening with our friends and family.

Corinne and Chris, October 2023

Thanks to you and the team for delivering such a great event for us and our guests last week. We’ve had lots of positive feedback from guests - especially regarding the food, so please pass our compliments on to the relevant team.

Thanks also to you and the team for all your hard work in making sure the day ran smoothly, especially given our condensed timings for the day. It was a pleasure working with you in this. Thanks so much for everything.

Dan and Sarah, September 2023

We thought the evening went very well – notwithstanding the rains.

Thank you again for your team’s high-quality service and the amazing food you provided.  I have heard from various guests that the canapes you prepared were very good - but the 'heroic Thai beef' (as one of the guests termed it) was a stand-out.

We hope to run this event again next year, and should we do so I will be in touch.  I have happily recommended your firm to our other colleagues who arrange events. 

Katrina, ANZ Bank, September 2023

Just wanted to drop you a message to say a massive thank you for everything on Friday. Kerry and I are absolutely over the moon with how the day went, how everything looked and how everything tasted! We really appreciate it.

Hope you and your team were able to enjoy the day.

Thanks again and if any of our friends are looking for catering support for their weddings in the future, we’ll be sure to recommend you.

Mike and Kerry, August 2023

I was immensely impressed by the event at the Amadeus.

I know we joked at the time, but the word ‘effortless’ is apt as that is how it appeared from my point of view. Organisation was spot on, you hit all the time marks on the schedule, the service was flawless, the food impeccable, and the staff were professional and charm personified.

It was a revelatory experience and cause for pride in what you have achieved.

I expected to be anxious and nervous, but for my first time as a guest I got the ‘Tasting Plates effect’.

My heartfelt congratulations to you both.

Thanks so much for last Saturday, we both had the best time and it all went so smoothly. We've had so many nice comments on the day and so many people loved the food as well.

Victoria and Gabriel, June 2023

Thank you so much. We've had a lovely time and have been thinking about the day constantly. It was perfect! 

The day after the wedding we had a get together with friends and the first thing everyone mentioned was how the food was the best they'd had at any wedding! The harissa chicken in particular was sung about. So thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job.

Lola and Spencer, May 2023

Thank you so much for a fantastic wedding. Everything was 10/10 solid. The food was just Wow!! The cocktails?  My goodness!

Everything we dreamt of, thank you for making it so special. So many compliments on the food and the presentation. We are so grateful. Please send our thanks to the staff, who were sooooo lovely, and the incredible chef!

And Joe, thanks for the ice pack for my wedding hangover during the day - sorted me right out to go party again with the band!

Jackie and Steve, May 2023

A quick email to say thank you for last night.  You and your team were brilliant and we received lots of feedback about how nice the food was. We will no doubt be holding a Thank You event again next year so I will definitely email you to see if we can work together again.

Matt, Glass Door Homeless Charity, May 2023

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for yesterday - everything was fantastic, from the food to the running of it all. We are so pleased and couldn’t have wished for a better day.

If you ever want us to do a review or reference we will be very happy to sing your praises.

Rose and Jack, April 2023

Thank you so so much for organising and running such a perfect reception for us. We cannot tell you how many guests made an effort to tell us how excellent, attentive, friendly and brilliant you all were, and genuinely (and this was possibly the biggest thing we wanted to get right) so many people have told us that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding (that lamb..!).

Thank you for meeting requests for another helping, it made me laugh when you said that they were a hungry bunch. 

It was also so brilliant and thoughtful that someone was always on hand to look after my [family] and pass a glass of water to keep them going! The bar staff were brilliant, the espresso martinis and Aperol spritz's were a huge hit and definitely gave us the boost of energy we needed. 

We think the other thing that made such a difference to us, which we think should convince anyone to go with you guys, is the fact that you were both on the floor with the rest of the serving staff. Made all the difference knowing you were there on the day, handling all the finer details. 

Eloise and Matt, April 2023

Wow. Wow. Wow. WOW! That one word, on repeat, really does sum up the way we feel about the service and quality menu you delivered for us, yesterday, at Salon Smart. The food was beyond delicious, abundantly available, and looked fantastic, and you and your awesome staff worked SO hard to take care of our valued attendees and sponsors. It really was a slick feat, and Tasting Plates is a smash hit with us!

Thank you so much for helping us to create a truly memorable experience for our Salon Smarters.

Joanna, Alfol Ltd, March 2023

We only have praise for Tasting Plates! You were able to embrace and even elevate our vision for the day - it was everything we imagined and more. From the seamless correspondence on the lead-up, to the management of the day, to the unbelievably delicious food...everything was perfection!

If we have another event or anyone is looking for a recommendation, you'll be the top of our list! 

Cassidy and Jay, November 2022

Just wanted to say a massive thank you from both of us for all your support in the run-up to the wedding, but particularly for your execution on the day. We had so many compliments on the set-up of the venue and how smoothly it ran. We also had comments from many of our guests on how lovely all your staff were. Couldn’t have hoped for more! Please let us know where you would like us to write any public reviews - very happy to do this.

Tegan and Henry, November 2022

Thank you so much for the wonderful catering and event management. We've had loads of guests compliment us on both the presentation and flavours of the food, and the friendliness of the serving staff, which is all down to you.

Chris and Chris, November 2022

Thank you both and all of your team for helping our day be so incredible! The venue looked absolutely fantastic! Everything was on point and you ran it just the way we hoped you would. Everyone was extremely complimentary about you and your team, as were the other contractors.

Toby, thank you so much for all your efforts before and on the day. You were a constant presence - in a good way!

Joe - hidden downstairs - I'm sure no less busy! The food was absolutely incredible, thank you so much. Everyone raved about the lamb and those potatoes... wow.

Thank you also for looking after the van and packing away etc.

Once again, thank you for everything. The day would not have gone as well without you!

Michael and Sophie, October 2022

We're just back from a whirlwind, wonderful honeymoon and wanted to get in touch to say a big thank you for everything you did for us on our wedding day. We had a fantastic time and so much of that was down to the smooth running of the day. So many guests have commented on the quality of the food and how lovely your staff were - special shout out to the super friendly bar man.

All the very best for the future and thanks again.

Rose and Arjun, September 2022

We wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all your help in the run up to our wedding. We were so pleased with the food on the day, the lamb was delicious and perfectly cooked. We’ve had several comments from guests about the ‘amazing dips’ for our starters and we’ve also had a lot of compliments on the generous portion sizes - by all accounts everyone felt like there was plenty of food and canapés to go round so thank you for that!

You asked for feedback and we’re happy to share our thoughts: 

Initial chats - For us it was so brilliant to get on a Zoom call as an intro to Tasting Plates. It’s very overwhelming at first being sent lots of sample menus by different caterers for weddings. Guessing it’s time restraints that mean companies send out them out, but what really sold us to TP was getting on that first call and chatting to a real person about the food and flavours we loved, and giving us the confidence to create our own Middle Eastern-inspired menu. It was so personal and made us feel like we would really be valued if we went with the TP team.

Toby and Joe, your knowledge, understanding and passion for food is clear to see and it’s clear that you work so well together as a team. You weren’t afraid to dissuade us against ideas you thought wouldn’t be executed well (eg halloumi starter) and your suggestions of sides to go with the main were great! We particularly loved the Persian rice.

On-the-day itself - you were both very supportive and attentive. Joe, you were so on it with the running of the day and timings, guiding us into the wedding breakfast at the key moment, and you absolutely perfected our sparkler walk - without you we’re pretty sure it would never have happened! Thank you so much. You also made sure to come up to us throughout the day and check we had a drink on several occasions, which was a really nice touch. 

Overall, we had a truly brilliant day and so appreciate all your hard work and thorough preparation. We’d have no hesitation in recommending you to friends or family.

Charlotte and Harrison, August 2022

Just a very quick email to say a massive thank you for Friday - it was perfect we had the best day!!

Could not have done it without you - you were superb.

‘Apologies for [going] completely going off-grid - we escaped to Italy on our honeymoon and decided to completely switch off from everything. It…gave us the perfect opportunity to reflect on just how amazing the day was!’

‘Firstly, we wanted to send a HUGE thank you to you both for making the day run so smoothly. A large number of people commented on how everything moved along so seamlessly and how present we both were on the day too - that was only made possible by you both being so on top of everything and allowing us to completely switch off and not worry about the organisational side of things.

 ‘We did notice how hard you were both working on the day and it was so appreciated - thank you! 

‘In addition to that, the food was absolutely incredible!! The antipasti starter went down amazingly, not to mention the generous portions that were noted by everybody! 

‘Once again, thank you for everything!’
