We had the amazing Nicolas from C’est Bon cater our wedding with Private Dining evening in Port Douglas with a 6 course degustation menu with added escargot option. We are from Western Australia and the communication via phone and email to make our night’s menu perfect was amazing and seamless, even with my allergies to certain foods. The food on the night was sooo delicious and beautifully presented and the special effort to include our 7 year old which included making her favourite dish for the night (lasagna) and presenting her dessert plate with her name in berry sauce made her feel super special. The table set up was beautiful and the price for everything that was provided was beyond fair and better than any restaurant we had looked at for our wedding party. If you are looking for event catering make contact with Nicolas and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed, oh and try the escargot 🐌 it was delicious and our whole wedding party was happy they actually gave it a go, even our 7 year old that ate 3 😜 Thanks Nicolas for your amazing service, attitude and wholesomeness ✌️

C'est Bon Cairns catered our wedding in Port Douglas and it was just spectacular. Nicolas and Kevin worked with us to make sure everything went off with out a hitch, and considering it was an outdoor wedding with limited kitchen facilities, everything went perfectly. The service they provided was 6 star and the food was just magnificent. All of our guests raved about how much they loved grazing board and dinner. My wife and I could not have been happier! The team from C'est Bon is incredible, thank you so much.

The wonderful staff at C'est Bon made our wedding planning and our special day flawless. We were given terrifiic options to maximise our use of their beautiful venue, catering services and drinks packages. Our wedding guests were so well looked after and we never had to worry about food and drinks service. The staff waited on us all hand and foot and the food and beverages kept flowing until we were all very well fed and watered. I would definitely recommend contacting C'est Bon for your wedding catering services!
