Corporate Catering or Function Catering in Melbourne?
We show you how to plan the best party or catering event possible.

Whether you are planning a party, wedding or corporate catering event, food and beverage are as vital to any event as its purpose – and, like everything in life, the success lies in the planning.

Every element has to be right – and ensuring it is means working with a talented event coordinator from the outset.  

What really makes a party or event a success is employing the services of an extraordinary caterer: one who can guarantee the food is delicious, and whose expertise leaves you free to enjoy the event. And isn’t that the point?

A first-rate, well-organised and supportive catering company will offer brilliant ideas to set the scene of your party or function, design imaginative and mouth-watering menus, and instil confidence in their ability to deliver without fault. Whether your occasion is a buffet, cocktail party, elegant dinner, BBQ or carvery, your caterer will help select food, refreshment and location, and a choice of wines to match the meal. An experienced and trustworthy caterer will always provide exceptional service and proficient staff.

Always have a budget in mind and be prepared to consider important additions to give your party or function an edge.  Caterers should be able to develop menus and deliver cost estimates.

A professional caterer works with you, creating a timeline of events – arrival, set up, event length, tear down and clean up. A collaborative style works in your interest to create a pleasurable – and memorable – night.

Good caterers are happy to provide taste samples from your chosen menu. Fresh, local produce is, naturally, the vital ingredient for creating exceptional food. You should expect – and demand – that the quality of fare will equal that of your favourite restaurant.

A successful caterer works to develop a relationship of trust, openness, honesty and communication with clients and guests – this is the cornerstone of any well-respected caterer’s business philosophy.

One long-established caterer who lives and works by these principles is Peter Hayton of ACC Advanced Catering Concepts. Peter spends the year staging major catering events – his client résumé includes the Rolling Stones, Cirque de Soleil and England’s Barmy Army. With their exclusive selection of extraordinary Melbourne venues, Peter and his team are able to create and manage any size event you desire.

Peter is based in Cheltenham, Melbourne, Australia, and can be contacted on: 03 9555 4000.
