Wedding Catering Consultancy & Pricing
Your Wedding. Your Menu. Independent Advice.
Choosing the right caterer shouldn't be stressful or confusing.
At Plan + Plate, I offer independent catering consultancy — I'm not here to sell you a catering package. I'm here to help you find the right one.
From comparing quotes to choosing menus and understanding hidden costs, I put your needs, budget and guest experience first.
Independent Advice. Your Wedding. Your Choices.
-
A little expert advice can make a big difference.
A relaxed 60-minute session to work through your catering questions, explore your options and give you practical guidance on menus, budgets, guest requirements and food service.
Includes a personalised summary of recommended next steps.
-
Know what you're choosing, and what you're paying for.
Choosing between catering quotations can be difficult, especially when different suppliers include different services.
I'll review up to two catering quotations and menus, look at staffing, equipment and service arrangements, and help identify anything you may have overlooked.
You'll also receive a 60-minute consultation and written recommendations to help you move forward confidently.
-
The right caterer. The right menu. A celebration that feels like you.
If you're unsure where to begin, I can help you explore your options and find a caterer who fits your vision, guest requirements and budget.
From creating a shortlist of suitable suppliers to comparing proposals and discussing menus, I'll guide you through the important decisions.
Your package will be tailored to your celebration, with further coordination available by quotation.

You don't need to know exactly what support you need before getting in touch.
Tell me a little about your wedding and where you are with your catering plans. I'll help you decide what would be most useful.
I have particular experience with Indian, British-Indian and fusion wedding food, but my approach isn't limited to one cuisine or style of celebration.
Whether you're planning a traditional wedding breakfast, a relaxed buffet, family-style dining or live food stations, I'll help you work out what suits your guests and your event.
Indian food is a speciality. Not a limitation.
Based in Leeds and working with couples across Yorkshire and beyond, I help with Indian wedding menus, fusion celebrations, caterer selection, food tastings, service planning and dietary requirements.
