Wow wow wow. We didn’t even have a tasting with this team before the wedding because we knew they were going to be fantastic and they did not disappoint. From booking to the final day was a breeze. The guests are still raving about the food weeks later.

Jerome and the whole team at Dalton Catering were out of this world AMAZING!! We were lucky enough to have them cater our 100 person wedding at a private venue in 2019. From the very beginning, their professional, attention to detail and easy going way of working made planning our most important day so simple. We knew we were getting the best of quality and that they had thought of EVERYTHING. Dalton took care of food, service, drinks, set up and pack down and even breakfast the next day. To this day, our friends are still raving about how incredible the food was. If you are getting married or hosting an event, do yourself the biggest favour and just pick Dalton. It will be the best decision you make!!

Where do we start.... What a truly magical and memorable day. To say that food was the top of our list is the understatement of the year. We had the menu planned months out and the dress only came together a few weeks before! Collaborating with Jerome and the team at Dalton Catering for our wedding day, we were filled with confidence from our very first meeting. Professional and accommodating, a highly skilled ‘A’ team of chefs and front of house. We had very high expectations of the meal and service and they smashed them out of the park. Would we recommend Dalton Catering? In a heartbeat. Zeb and Kate Gilbert

How many wine glasses will I need for 100 guests?

Hello, I was just wondering how many glasses I should order for a wedding of 100. Champagne, beer glasses, water glasses wine etc?

Dalton Catering

Hello! 

2.5 of each stem/style per guest is abundantly safe.

What can we serve guests on a warm QLD summer evening (canape/standing)?

I am looking at catering options for a standing event wedding in Dec, on the coast of QLD. We love our venue, but I am concerned that we won't have air-conditioning (though it is a rooftop venue, so hoping for a nice breeze). I would love some ideas on what I can serve guests, that won't wilt, sweat or weigh everyone down on a hot summer afternoon! Thanks

Dalton Catering

We always recommend ceviches, gazpachos & cold dishes. Avoid deep fried items as the humidity kills them & or course soft cheeses.
