Absolutely Amazing!

Wow, where do we start? From our initial conversation with Charlotte through to the big day she has been absolutely amazing! For our wedding we did canapés, main, dessert and cheeseboards and it was all absolutely delicious and to cater for a wedding with 140 guests all of the food was spot on and we have had so many compliments already with guests saying it is the best they have tasted! Charlotte was a dream to work with, she is very calm and you just know she will get the job done to a really high standard and her team were also great. If you are looking for someone for your wedding or event then look no further, you won’t be disappointed! Thanks again for everything Charlotte xx

Great wedding caterer

Charlotte and her team catered for our intimate wedding at Pauntley Court (Gloucestershire) on the 16/09/23. The booking process through to being catered for on the day of the wedding was stress free and seamless. All of our guests commented on just how good the food was, from the canapés through to the wedding breakfast. A number of them have said they think it is the best wedding food they have tasted. Nothing associated with a wedding is cheap but we can safely say that you get what you pay for with Charlotte. The food was top quality, the portion sizes were excellent and the care and attention to detail shown by Charlotte was second to none. Any couples considering booking Charlotte can do so safe in the knowledge that she is a true professional who will really look after you and your guests.

Absolutely unbelievable!

Charlotte is amazing! We hired her to cater for our wedding in May and we were absolutely blown away by everything. Every interaction with Charlotte was brilliant, we wanted a personalised menu and nothing was too much trouble and helped guide us through the process and tweak bits to make sure everything worked on the day. She so friendly and able to take all of the stress out of situation as you know she will have everything covered. The food was incredible. It looked outstanding and tasted even better. Every single guest complimented how incredible it tasted and every allergy and diet was easily catered for! Charlotte's team were brilliant, so helpful, friendly and professional that I couldn't fault them. If you need any form of catering then stop looking and work with Charlotte, you will not be disappointed and she will exceed any expectation!

Delicious food, excellent service

Charlotte catered for our wedding in Summer 2022, and she worked with us to devise the most perfect bespoke menu! She was excellent at helping us decide what flavours and dishes to choose, and knew exactly what our vision was. The guests were really impressed - we are still getting positive feedback from them on the food and excellent service months later! We would recommend Charlotte to anyone who loves good, carefully prepared, fresh and delicious food... so that's everyone, right?

Fabulous communication, service and food!

Charlotte was brilliant from initial contact through to last minute changes. We were offered a large choice of food and were amazed with the quality of ingredients. Charlotte was able to provide for all dietary needs and was flexible with our indecisiveness! On the day, everything ran incredibly smoothly and Charlotte and her team delivered fantastic service and food. Guests commented that it was some of the best wedding guest food they'd ever had! Everyone had full stomachs and made a point of telling us how good it was. Huge thank you to Charlotte and her team for providing amazing food and service from start to finish! We would not hesitate in recommending Charlotte Gardner to anyone! Thank you again, Mr and Mrs Grant xxx

Delicious Food and Portion Sizes

I was recommended Charlotte after being let down by our original wedding caterers. I was instantly put at ease after our first discussion and it was clear she was someone who would be great to work with. We had already decided on our wedding menu with our previous caterer and as we were only a couple of months off the date we decided we would stick with the original plan; Charlotte was happy to oblige and was flexible throughout. Our main concern was making sure portion sizes were generous and Charlotte did not disappoint. Our canapés, staters, mains and desserts were all delicious and a lot of our guests have since said it was the best wedding food they have ever had - can't ask for more than that! Thank you again Charlotte for being so easy to work with, organised and for putting on such a great spread!

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Choose food for your wedding that you love to eat - it will reflect you as a couple.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Payment of a deposit will secure the date and confirm the booking. You can then take your time to decide on your perfect wedding menu, working together with us so we can help and advise, with a planning meeting or Zoom call at this stage. We will then arrange a food tasting to make sure everything is absolutely perfect. Final numbers will be requested about three weeks prior to your wedding in order to calculate your final bill. At this point we will also ask for your table plan and any last instructions for set up. On the day before, or morning of the wedding, our team will lay the tables and make sure everything is in order for the big day itself.

What is the food of love?

Personally, I think it is anything with chocolate in!
