2023 & 2024 Hitched "Wedding Caterer of the Year", at Luca's we constantly strive for excellence - we have a perfect 5* review score. Our passion is simply to give you the best wedding experience.

FAQS

Do you offer menu tastings?

Absolutely! We will come to your house or chosen venue and cook everything you choose for your wedding menu. It will give you the opportunity to experience what your wedding day will be like, our 5* crockery and service equipment, as well as meeting us in person. These run from October to April, Tuesday to Thursday - and we come to cook at your house or chosen venue. The exception to this is that if you book your wedding for the same year, we will do our best to fit you in around our events. We usually run our menu tastings after an event is booked, but for large weddings we have run a menu tasting before the reservation was confirmed - we are delighted to confirm that every single couple confirmed us the very same night!.. The menu tasting for two is complimentary for parties over £6k, for everyone else the cost is £70pp. Terms apply.

When do you need a deposit by?

All dates stay open until we receive a 30% non-refundable deposit based on estimated numbers and courses. Once this is paid, we will confirm and reserve the date for you. This deposit will be deducted from the final invoice. We will take a further 50% deposit three months before the event and the balance of 20% a month before.

What is the cancellation policy?

As written within our terms and conditions, in the unfortunate event of a booking having to be cancelled, confirmation in writing will be needed and your deposit will be retained. Events cancelled within six months of the confirmed date will be charged at 75% of the estimated invoice total. Cancellations within three months will be charged the full 100% invoice total.

What do we provide?

We provide all the service and back of house staff needed, headed by a Head Chef and a Floor Manager. Furthermore, we provide all the cooking equipment - including a mobile kitchen and refrigeration if necessary, at no additional cost to you. We also provide 5* crockery, cutlery, water bottles, sharing bowls, salt & pepper cruets and serving utensils. For an additional charge, we can also provide the table linen and napkins, which we can place on the tables for you.

Can you cut and serve the cake for us?

Absolutely! However, this will need to happen right after the end of our service, that way we reduce the amount of time for which our staff will be on site after we serve the last course. You will have to provide the platters and service plates or cutlery needed - unless we agree otherwise before the event.

Is the menu flexible?

Our menu is as flexible as you like! Our entire focus is on giving you a fantastic wedding day experience as such if we need to replace ingredients, whole dishes or even work with your ideas, we'll certainly do so! No two weddings are the same, so we are very used to curating bespoke menus for various couples. Not just the menu, but also our standard packages are as flexible as you like. We strive to work with every couple to ensure our offering fits their budget and expectations, so just ask the question. It's all about you!

Can you help with drinks service?

Absolutely! We will service the drinks reception and toast, but can also help with wine service during the wedding breakfast - as long as the staff isn't needed for food service - the priority will always be to serve hot food hot to your guests.

Testimonials

Amazing food Laur and his team recently catered my wedding and I can’t praise them enough. Our reception was in a marquee in the garden at my mother’s house in Oxford. Dani and her team laid all the tables and made everything look beautiful. The kitchen was set up in the garage and I can’t believe that such amazing food was prepared there! Every single course was absolutely delicious and we had so many compliments. The portions were also incredibly generous, which is often not the case at weddings and all of our guests were full and very happy. The service was just outstanding, especially considering that we had over 130 guests on the day. Dani is so good at her job, she was such a calm, solid presence to have there and was so in control (despite being in a venue she’d never seen before!). Within 5 minutes of the reception I felt totally confident, as everything was so well organised and in control. I had thought being a garden wedding we’d have to do a bit more ourselves, but straightaway it was very clear that these guys know what they’re doing. It was all just so smoothly run and I genuinely can’t think of anything they could have done to improve it. I really can’t recommend them enough.

"Thank you for making our day so incredible! Everyone has said how fantastic everything was. We've had so many compliments for your fantastic work, so thank you! Every aspect was wonderful!"

Emma & Hamish

Thank you so much ☺️ Such an incredible catering team. For us food was a huge priority, as both I and Daniel are real foodies and wanted to really impress our friends and family - and impressive they were!… They were slick and professional both before and on the day. The food was incredible, so many guests commented how good it was and that was always very important to us. A great selection of choices on their menu plans to tailor to what you want, Laur was very happy to accommodate some of our preferred canapés, different to the menu. The things that impressed us the most were how easy to contact and how responsive they are, and how passionate they are about the success of our wedding day. Thank you so much for helping us have the absolute best day! Chloe, Daniel and Sarah xx

Chloe & Daniel

The best wedding catering we could have hoped for We could not recommend Luca’s Events enough. When planning our wedding, we prioritised food as one of the, if not the most important thing at our wedding. Laur is quick to respond to emails, considerate and highly professional. Not to mention an excellent chef! Lots our guests said that it was the best food that they had ever had at a wedding - one guest even asked if Laur has a Michelin star! If you, like us, feel that high quality food should be a priority at your wedding, then look no further than Luca’s Events!
