Wedding Catering

YOUR WEDDING or event  /  WHERE YOU WANT IT  /  WITH GREAT FOOD AND HAPPY VIBES 

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The Crafted and Co. is a unique model which joins industry professionals together with a shared vision of great food, great service and a whole lot of fun. Our Team includes Bakers, Cake Makers, Party Starters and Chefs who all love to build exceptional events.

With sexy matte black, raw steel, glass, natural timbers and classic metals. The Crafted and Co. is a beautiful addition to any event. Being fully self contained we can set up in any location we can get our utes  into and our quiet inverter generator/ gas system is capable of generating all of our own power requirements for any event. We also have our own water tanks and catch all our own water waste. 

If you want us to be silent (the gens are good but there is some noise still) We can plug all our trucks into a standard 10amp power point as well so if you do have accessible power this is totally an option too. 

Our integrated BOSE sound system comes as part of all of our packages so there is no need to worry about beats during your event

The Crafted and Co. uses its strong trade relationships to ensure that all goods can be secured at great prices and also if required prepped in state of the art kitchens with strong robust food safety policies.

TRAILER SPECS:

ORIGINAL BIG TRUCK

6m of actual length with an additional 2m drawbar, 2.5m wide and 3.5m tall. He's a big dude, so we need to make sure that we can fit into your site with this one..... If we cant do a reccy beforehand we will need detailed images of the site.  This big guy has a minimum spend of $3k incl GST but excluding travel.

FRANK

Smaller of the three but with the same capabilities. FRANK is 4m of actual length (6m total), 2.2m wide and 2.5m high. Generally we still like to do a reccy, but generally FRANK fits most places. Frank has a minimum spend of $3k incl GST but excluding travel.

NEW TRUCK

Our mid sized beauty but with the same capabilities. NEW TRUCK is 4.5m of actual length (6.5m total), 2.5m wide and 3.5m high. Generally we still like to do a reccy, but generally NEW TRUCK fits most places. NEW TRUCK has a minimum spend of $3k incl GST but excluding travel.

PRICING:

We have Packages and Pricing for all the styles of dining we offer. All our pricing includes GST, unless otherwise stated. 

STAFFING:

This season we have changed how we manage and charge for staffing.

Our packages now include the cost of our chefing team, the core people needed to get the job done but don’t include the cost of general service staff, the waiters and dishwashers.

As always once we've had a chat we can be specific about this cost.  

TRAVEL:

We travel.  Alot! We have a hard rule on staff doing more than 5 hours driving in a shift, so we have a limit of 2.5 hours in each direction before we need to chat about accommodation.

DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS:

A $500 non- refundable deposit is required to secure your booking. This is taken off the final bill.

20% of your indicated bill is required three months out from your big day. 

The remainder is required the week before of the big day. 

Any incidentals are due a week after the wedding day.

PROCESS AND PLANNING:

Get your date penciled in. We have three big trailers and a little truck available for hire but these are booking quickly for the 2021 and 2022 season. 

Once you know we have a date, we'll send you menus.

You confirm that you want to book us in, pay the deposit and then we start the process of working out what you want! Easy. 

HOW IT WORKS ON THE DAY:

We will arrive at your venue at a pre-determined time.  We will continue to prep and organise ourselves, either liaising with the venue you have organised or your MC for timings on the day. These never go exactly to plan, so we are more than happy to adapt to suit, the benefit of being self contained is that we can be super flexible.

Once we have finished service we will begin pack down, usually this means all of our gear as well, although depending on venues and travel we are happy to leave grazing tables etc behind and pick up the next day.

We generally leave with the trailers by 10pm at most dinner events, which means we need to have access to exit the venue. We can leave the trailers on site but this does need some planning. 

Generally if we have extra waitstaff or a staggered team they will have their own vehicles and will complete their role and leave when done. 

We're a pretty friendly bunch and up for most things, if you have something specific in mind or want to do something out of the ordinary drop us a line.

If this all sounds a bit like you, then give us some info below and we'll give you some further info. x
