E X P E R I E N C E

Caterina in Kangaroo Valley offers a unique catering service at the

Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat. Having catered for nearly all of the

weddings at the Bush Retreat over the past nine years, I know how it

works. Your day will run smoothly because my staff are experienced

and friendly and nothing is too hard. I know the kitchen, I know how

the Bush Retreat works, I am local, and my suppliers are wonderful and

reliable.

K N O W L E D G E

When using Caterina, (for numbers up to 150 people), included in the

costing is the use of all crockery, cutlery, glassware, water bottles, salt

and pepper mills, platters, serving bowls, cocktail and mains serviettes,

table clothes, ice buckets and wine coolers. I am happy to provide a

quote for your special event so you can be sure of no hidden costs or

surprises.

As I have catered for many weddings, I know how a successful wedding

day at the Bush Retreat runs and want to make it as perfect as possible

for you and your guests. From the moment after your beautiful

ceremony in the rock cathedral, as you and your guests stroll up to the

deck, my experienced bar staff have organised drinks to be served and

for the canapés to arrive.

My friendly wait-staff serve you and your guests on the deck, leaving

you free to enjoy the tranquil setting and stunning views. Once the

canapés and drinks are served (usually about an hour) your party

can meander down to the reception area, where everything is set up

waiting for you.

P A S S I O N

My menus are designed to be served as a banquet style.

All the food is served on the tables for your guests to share and enjoy.

However, you may choose the more traditional 3-course meal. I am

flexible and happy to tailor a menu to suit your personal tastes and

budget.

I have 29 years of experience, I am very passionate about good food,

and I use fresh, seasonal produce that is organic and local where

possible: this all makes for a great catering package. Why would you

go with anyone else?

• I know the venue intimately

• I use local food, local suppliers, organic where possible

• No hidden costs, no travel costs

“We were married at Kangaroo Valley Bush retreat in May

2019 - just over a month ago. Being shoulder season and not

quite winter, Katrina was extremely flexible in letting us choose

anything from any menu! (Which made the choices all the

more difficult because everything looked great). We went with

Caterina because not only was her company the recommended

caterer for our venue and had the added benefit of knowing the

kitchen and venue very well, but I also had a work colleague who

highly recommended Caterina using them for their wedding.

We had to have a lot of trust as we were unable to do a tasting

due to Caterina being in high demand and booked every

weekend and for most mid-week weddings. My advice to others

would be to absolutely trust Katrina. She was flexible with our

requests but was also able to provide sound advice based on a

lot of experience. She went above and beyond to help us with

preparing- not only for the wedding feast, but also with the

seating plan and run sheet of the day. This is invaluable given

we (like most) have never planned a wedding before.

Now to the food. EVERY guest we have spoken to since raved

about how delicious the food was. From the canapes, to the cake

and banquet. People specifically loved the truffle oysters and

BBQ prawns. We barely got to try our cheese wheel wedding

cake because it got devoured by our guests and it was made of

the biggest cheese wheels I have ever seen. I think guests also

really enjoyed choosing what they wanted to put on their own

plates. For mains we had the slow cooked beef cheeks, duck

confit and sumac crusted ocean trout. The sides were seasonal

greens, risotto and a white bean salad, however the day before

when the weather was forecast wet and cold, Katrina suggested a

white bean stew instead and it was lovely, warm and hearty. One

of the guests even said it was the best wedding catering they

have ever had (and he has been to a lot of weddings!).

Thanks so much to Katerina and her very professional team for

making our day so special and going above and beyond at every

opportunity.

“Where do we begin... Katrina and her incredible team at

Caterina in Kangaroo Valley went above and beyond to make our

wedding day the most spectacular and unforgettable day of our

lives.

Katrina worked with us to create the perfect menu - from the

delicious canapés served at the sunset deck to the abundant

grazing boards and the sumptuous banquet at our reception.

Everything was perfect! We even had a special selection of bridal

party only treats which arrived right on time post ceremony along

with bubbles and beers. Katrina’s team didn’t miss a beat! A special

thank you to Lora who created our dream wedding cake too!

Katrina and her team know the Kangaroo Valley Bush Retreat

better than anyone else and it shows! Their friendly, professional

and attentive service was seamless the entire weekend and we

were able to leave the coordination up to them entirely. To return

to a perfectly tidy reception hall on Sunday for breakfast was a

wedding gift in itself!

If you want your big day to be a memorable, stress free and a

delicious occasion talked about by every single guest, look no

further than Caterina in Kangaroo Valley.

“Katrina and her team are simply amazing, from the

ridiculously tasty food which received so many compliments, to the

professionalism and kindness of the staff, it was all just perfect.

The food can only be described using one word ‘DELICIOUS!’ ….

From the canapes on the sunset deck which were unique and full of

flavour, to the charcuteries boards which were perfectly portioned

with fresh produce and to top it off the high-quality shared platters

for main, it was all just so delicious. (The lamb was a 10/10!)

Katrina and her team made sure we (the Bride and Groom) had

canapes while we had photos taken, made sure we had drinks

throughout dinner and made us feel so special. It was so refreshing

to know that Katrina and the team had everything sorted and there

we didn’t have to stress about anything.

Breakfast on the Sunday was so welcomed by our guests, the freshly

cooked egg and bacon rolls, cereal and muesli was what was needed

after a long night.

We are so thankful to the Katrina and her staff to making the

process so easy, for their kindness and the high-quality food, we are

so glad to have had you as part of our wedding day.
