Fresh food and fresh thinking are behind the company’s success who bring as much care and attention to a small gathering in a board room as they do to a large wedding. Think long Italian style lunch, sumptuous grazing tables, canapes and finger food, or classic Kiwi fare; Blue Carrot Catering create delicious food for weddings and corporate events using premium fresh produce that is beautifully and sustainably presented at an affordable price. Managing director James Stuart says Blue Carrot has been synonymous with great food and service for over 20 years and is one of the biggest catering companies in the Wellington and Waiarapa region. During the week the team largely cater for events in Wellington’s CBD with weddings and private functions in the weekends. “We’ve already catered for 100 weddings this season and it’s been our busiest season yet for mid-week weddings. It’s full on but always rewarding to be part of someone’s big day,” says James. “We’ll meet with a couple to find out what they want, deciding on the menu through to the table settings and flowers. We may meet with a couple two or three times to make sure we’re on the same page. We have relationships with hire companies in Wellington and on the Kāpiti Coast and can organise all the hireware for the wedding. Our event manager becomes completely involved in the planning, creating a run sheet to work from so everyone knows exactly what will be happening, where and when,” he says. The company’s event management service is available for all style of events whether the guest list is for ten or 1,500. Along with organising great food, they can help you develop a theme for your event, track down the ideal venue and entertainment, provide decorations, a licenced bar and wait-staff, hire ware and any other requirements. They will also plan for every contingency – even those curve-balls you didn’t see coming. Most of Blue Carrot’s catering is delivered on reusable ceramic plates and their popular lunch bags and individual platters are served in biodegradable packaging where possible to help reduce landfill.
