Tune In To Kate’s Weekly Wedding Show on 2GB
Posted: June 15, 2014 Filed under: Getting Married Leave a comment
Don’t forget to tune into Kate’s wedding show on 2GB every Wednesday and Saturday night for Kate’s fabulous tips, experiences and stories.
Just last week she touched on the expectations of brides on their maid of honour – imagine having to fly from Sydney to Brisbane just for a dress fitting!
And the beautiful traditions of different religious weddings. Jewish couples get married under a piece of cloth called a huppah that represents the couple’s new home. They also have a bedeken ceremony prior to the wedding that is a small and intimate ritual attended by only the bridal couple, family and a rabbi. The couple are blessed and the groom then covers his bride with a veil that she wears until the end of the huppah ceremony.
She also spoke of the different catering requirements including Kosher meals where meat and milk cannot be mixed and the importance of whiskey at a Jewish wedding!
Tune in to Kate on Wednesday night at 950pm with Steve Price and on Saturday nights with GLen Wheeler.
A Touch Of The Seasons
Posted: May 23, 2014 Filed under: Getting Married | Tags: chefs, dinner, events, fresh, katering, produce, seasons, stefano manfredi Leave a commentThere’s nothing we love more than working with others who share our love and passion for food. At a recent dinner held in the historic Carnegie Hall in Darlinghurst, Katering had the pleasure of working with some well known Italian chefs, including Stefano Manfredi from Bells at Killcare, who taught us a few new tricks in the kitchen.
Working together, we created a beautiful menu inspired by the four seasons of the year.
Guests started with canapes reflecting the summer months, follwed by an entree inspired by Autumn and designed by Stefano Manfredi. His incredible dish of risotto di funghi e castagne (a mushroom and chestnut risotto) captured the wonderful autumn flavours.
The main was created by Armando Percuoco and was designed to reflect the winter months. A deliciously warming vitello con barbabietola e salsa verde (veal medallions with caramelised beetroot and salsa verde) was served with garlic and rosemary potatoes.
For something sweet, Donato Toce put together a fabulous spring dessert of fragolina de bosco (wild strawberry sorbet), with a burnt honey mousse, bergamot jelly and pistachio crunch.
The night perfectly captured how changing seasons influences our dishes and we had such fun working with a new team.
Wedding Videos: Why You Should Use Them
Posted: May 17, 2014 Filed under: Getting Married | Tags: events, katering, Soda, video, wedding Leave a commentAs the Creative Director for Katering’s fabulous events and weddings, Kate can’t recommend the use of videographers enough.
Worried about bright flashing lights and obtrusive crew? Relax. You’ll hardly notice the team at Soda are even there.
Kate recently styled a wedding for a wonderful couple who were thrilled with their decision to include video, in fact the bride said she loved it more than the photos.
“It captured the emotion on people’s faces and filled in the gaps that the bride doesn’t see on the day,” she said.
Take a peek at Bianca and Caine’s wedding video here…

Their wedding day was an especially windy day and the video added to the movement and softness not captured in still photos.
The team at Soda are professional and passionate about what they do. Check them out here…

A Sparkling Night To Remember

Southern Highlands Summer Weddings

Magical, romantic and distinctly unique. The wedding of Anna and Brendon at Montrose Berry farm in Sutton Forest was a blend of wonderful personalities and unconventional tradition.
This beautiful heritage country estate was transformed into a wonderland of magic. Reflecting the country surrounds, cabanas were dotted around the grounds and intricately decorated with moose heads, dark leather couches, candelabras and armchairs. The wedding party sat at a simple wooden table with white cushions and vibrant purple flowers.
Choosing a cocktail style wedding, guests enjoyed an antipasto table after the ceremony that was overflowing with ripe cheeses, olives, cured meats and freshly grilled vegetables.
Champagne and canapes including mini beef paninis kept guests well nourished before the more substantial dishes of barramundi served in abalone shells and lamb cutlets followed.
This incredible setting was styled by She Designs and Katering enjoyed every bit of working with such a talented team.
Guests danced the night away under the sparkling country stars and celebrated the union of our special newlyweds.
Belle Readers Dinner
Posted: January 19, 2014 Filed under: Getting Married | Tags: artists, Belle magazine, Del Kathryn Barton, events, functions, katering, private, readers dinner Leave a commentKatering had the absolute pleasure of hosting the Belle Readers dinner at the beautiful Roslyn Oxley Galleries in Sydney. Featuring special guest and artist Del Kathryn Barton, the art loving guests listened to her experiences and stories as an artist in what was a truly memorable night.
Belle readers were given an inside glimpse into the life of one of Australia’s most respected artists. With a focus on sensuality, creativity and passion, Grandiflora chose flowers that were open and in full bloom to create a sense of intimacy amongst the tables.
Featured in this month’s Belle magazine, readers are given a sneak peek into this private dinner including the recipes of Katering’s finely selected menu. Guests enjoyed open crab ravioli with tomato bisque to start and snapper with golden beetroot, snow pea, broad beans and fennel. The night came to a close with a cherry and chocolate mousse cake with a rich chocolate ganache.
An inspirational evening, the night was both personal and enriching and Katering is proud to have been part of such a wonderful event.
