Forte Catering and Events have been announced Best Wedding Caterer of the year at the 2013 Savour Australia Restaurant & Catering HOSTPLUS NSW Awards for excellence.
Forte received the award for their wedding catering service at James and Michelle Boyd’s wedding in the Sydney and surrounding suburbs category.
James and Michelle’s Wedding
The couple’s wedding was a vision of perfection held at a stunning long-standing railway warehouse with formal seating for around 260 guests. After 9 months of planning and with help from wedding planner, the late Anthony Del Col from Staging Connections, James and Michelle said their vows and were seated to a tantalizing meal produced by Forte Catering and Events.
Award winning Forte chef, Anthony Sullivan, worked closely with both bride and groom to produce their ideal reception menu. With a gluten free bride, particular care was taken when preparing a feast everyone could enjoy.
The reception was held in the extravagant Grand Hall at Australian Technology Park featuring towering cast iron columns, rustic brickwork and arched windows. Guests were seated in the elegantly draped hall where a lavish seafood station with oysters spilling from vintage casts spoiled their tastebuds.
Roving canapés were served as entrees and lead to the main meal featuring an alternate serve of smoked sea-crusted lamb lion and NT crispy skinned barramundi. The main meal was followed by a platter of French and Australian Cheeses with lavish additions of fresh honeycomb and roasted pairs.
