Choosing a wedding catering service is a big deal—and for good reason. Anyone who’s been to a wedding knows the food can seriously shape the vibe of the day, so it’s worth getting it right from the start.
Before diving into menus and canapés, start by figuring out roughly how many guests you’re inviting and where you’re planning to tie the knot. We’re talking general location—state or country—not the exact venue just yet. Once you’ve nailed that down, it’s time to think budget. On average, around 40% of an Australian wedding budget goes to the venue, food and drinks, so this will likely be one of your biggest investments.
With a budget in mind, it’s time to explore your options. You can easily search by state or territory on the One Fine Day Wedding Directory, which helps filter out wedding caterers that won’t work logistically for your celebration. Check out the photos on each listing to get a feel for their style and see if it aligns with the kind of day you’re planning.
When you find a caterer that matches your wedding vision, send an enquiry directly through the One Fine Day Wedding Directory to ask about pricing, availability, and what’s included. It’s a simple way to get the ball rolling without any pressure.
Want to do a bit more digging? You can browse venue Instagrams and watch intro videos from venue managers—all on the One Fine Day Wedding Planning Directory. And if you’d rather taste before you book, head along to one of our wedding expos in Australia, held in Sydney and Melbourne, where you can meet some of these caterers in person and sample their menus.
Tick off wedding catering from your wedding planning list today and set the tone for an incredible celebration. One Fine Day features some of the best wedding caterers in Australia—whether you’re planning a big family gathering or a more intimate affair.
