There’s a handful of phrases that demonstrate the deep connection between food, well-being, and love: ‘One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well’ (Virginia Woolf). ‘Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food’ (Hippocrates). ‘Food is symbolic of love when words are inadequate’ (Alan D. Wolfelt).

And at Easy Weddings, we wholeheartedly couldn’t agree more with the above sentiments.

If music be the food of love, play on

At a wedding, every detail counts – especially when it comes to the food served. After all, the cuisine at a wedding does more than satisfy hunger: it helps to create an atmosphere, complements the theme, and enhances the overall experience for the guests. It’s also a way of sharing the couple’s story, their tastes, and even a slice of their heritage. From the meticulously crafted canapes to the last piece of the wedding cake, each element of the menu is carefully chosen to delight the senses. In this way, the food served becomes a memorable aspect of the celebration, leaving a lasting impression on everyone.

Encore St Kilda: setting the bar for culinary excellence

The significance of food in a wedding setting is immense – a fact well understood and mastered by Encore St Kilda. With a commitment to being the best in show when it comes to food and service excellence, Encore St Kilda sets the standard for culinary perfection. Their dedicated team, renowned for exceptional service and a passion for fine dining, ensures that every dish is not just a meal, but a masterpiece.

And now they’ve got the accolades to prove it. At the 2023 Restaurant & Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence for Victoria & Tasmania, Encore claimed first place in a number of categories, including ‘Events Caterer’, ‘Wedding Caterer’, and ‘Caterer of the Year’. These remarkable achievements are a testament to their unparalleled dedication to culinary excellence and outstanding service in the world of event catering.

About the Awards

The Awards for Excellence is a nationally acclaimed initiative, celebrating outstanding culinary skills and exceptional service throughout the state. Restaurants are evaluated on the complete dining experience, encompassing food, beverages, service quality, and the overall presentation of the restaurant. Caterers are judged on every facet of their business, from operations, food quality, and service to staffing efficiency and the success of events/sites, to select the winners in the catering categories.
