We will work with you from start to finish. You'll meet and liaise with owners Marise, Kirsten or Leigh in the early stages of the planning process and they'll be with you for the duration of the wedding overseeing the event and working right through to the end. We'll ask lots of questions to ensure we understand your needs and that both parties are on the same page. Past clients have found this invaluable, especially when planning from overseas.

We will provide more than just food. Host responsibility, alcohol calculations, run-of-the-day timelines and day-before-the-wedding visits to the venue to touch base are standard. Event styling can be arranged and, for any insider local knowledge, just ask.

We will create amazing food tailored to the style or theme of your wedding. We happily incorporate special requests and go beyond standardised meal options - while these are a good starting point, you can have as much or as little input into the menu as you want. We can tailor a menu based on your absolute favourite food memories, family traditions or a specific cuisine. Our most popular dining option is “Family Style" where platters of food come to each individual table. Guests interact casually and convivially as the dishes are passed around the table. For a more traditional dinner service we also gladly offer a la carte menus. We are happy to discount the price per head for pre-ordered or "alternate drop" meals. Talk to us if you'd like more information on these options. We also offer full service and provide all staff.

The day has finally arrived, after all the months of planning it’s time to sit back and enjoy one of the most important days of your life.

When Crescendo is part of your team you can rest assured and relax knowing we've got this. We love our work and we are proud of what we do. Presentation is everything. We know you've put so much effort and sometimes literally blood, sweat and tears into all of your wedding details. This should be reflected in the food as well, which of course it will be with Crescendo Cuisine being an integral part of your day.

Our customer service is a valued point of difference and we're excited to be a part of your day which is evident in our attention to detail. We have been catering weddings and milestone celebrations in and around the Wairarapa since 2014. If you are looking for unforgettable event catering or need a private chef at home, then please contact us for more information.

Life is filled with wonderful moments. Let us provide an amazing celebratory meal to compliment your milestone event and help make it truly memorable. Relax with your guests, glass of wine in hand rather than a whisk, while we at Crescendo take over your kitchen!

From an intimate engagement dinner for two to a golden wedding anniversary, milestone birthday or any revelry in between, we are your personal chefs for the day.

Let us prepare your favourite meals, restaurant quality, from the comfort of your own home or conversely let us cater at another location or venue of your choice. The options are limitless, the food luscious...

For a truly spectacular experience consider a degustation dinner. Beautiful food is matched with stunning wines over a succession of courses resulting in a feast for the senses.

In House Chef and/ or degustation menu P.O.A.

Perfect for Special Occasions, we will deliver our delicious food all prepped with in-depth instructions for you to finish cooking when it suits you. We find this option works particularly well when you want a memorable gourmet meal from the comfort of your accommodation without having to leave, or find a babysitter or a taxi. Meals are hand delivered with all serve ware required to present and showcase the meal like it is a restaurant. We will arrange a collection of crockery/serving ware upon checkout.

This option is great for family or group celebrations if you'd prefer to stay "in". This is also great for celebratory meals over the winter months when many restaurants in town have reduced opening hours.
