Ignite Catering

Ignite Catering is a premium fire-cooking wedding caterer led by Chef Bente Grysbaek, creating immersive wedding feasts where food, flame, and storytelling come together. Rooted in Nordic tradition and the wild landscapes of regional Victoria, their wedding catering is intentional, generous, and deeply flavour-driven.

They specialise in rustic wedding catering for rural and outdoor settings, from paddocks and wineries to barns and off-grid wedding venues. Ignite brings a complete fire-cooking setup and a warm, grounded service style to Victoria’s most memorable wedding venues. Every wedding menu is crafted with fire at its heart, featuring whole fish on cedar planks, long-roasted meats, ember-roasted vegetables, and seasonal sides sourced from local Victorian producers.
