Maryanne is everything you could want in a wedding caterer: warm, calm, organised, passionate, creative- and she makes GREAT food. Every time we spoke to her she put us at ease so we could stop stressing about wedding planning and really look forward to the day. Our afternoon tea looked and tasted fantastic! The servers were also absolute sweethearts- so attentive and kind.
