Message from the team
Experience
What is it like working with Leila Catering?
Warm, collaborative and highly organised. From your first enquiry, we take the time to understand your vision, guest profile and venue. Couples often tell us they feel reassured by our calm approach, clear communication and attention to detail — allowing them to enjoy the planning process as much as the day itself.
Do you create bespoke menus?
Absolutely. Every menu we create is tailored to you. We customise dishes, service styles and timings to suit your wedding, whether you’re planning a formal seated dinner, sharing-style feast, live stations or evening food. Cultural traditions, dietary requirements and personal preferences are always carefully considered.
Can we have a tasting before booking?
Yes. Tastings are available once your menu direction is agreed and are designed to feel relaxed and informative rather than overwhelming. They’re a chance to refine flavours, presentation and portioning so you feel completely confident ahead of your wedding day.
How involved will we need to be in the planning?
As involved as you’d like to be. Some couples enjoy being hands-on with menu choices, while others prefer to leave the details to us. We guide you through key decisions, manage the logistics, and work closely with your planner and venue so everything runs seamlessly.
Do you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes — and it’s something we take very seriously. We regularly cater for vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free and allergy-specific requirements, ensuring all guests feel just as looked after without compromising on quality or presentation.
Do you provide staff and equipment?
Yes. We are a full-service caterer and provide everything required on the day, including professional chefs, service staff, kitchen equipment and coordination with the venue. Our team arrives well prepared, well briefed and ready to deliver flawless service.
How would you describe your food style?
Generous, refined and flavour-led. Our food celebrates authentic Middle Eastern flavours presented in a polished, contemporary way that suits luxury weddings and elegant venues.
What makes Leila Catering different from other caterers?
Our combination of warmth, flexibility and high standards. We pride ourselves on being calm under pressure, adaptable on the day, and genuinely invested in making each wedding feel personal and memorable. We don’t offer “one-size-fits-all” menus — every event is treated as unique.
When should we book you?
We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly for peak wedding season dates. However, we’re always happy to explore availability and do our best to accommodate shorter lead times where possible.
