About

Chef Simon Mckenzie runs a premium wedding catering business in Reading, Berkshire, that has blossomed with a fantastic reputation over the last five years. From the initial enquiry, we are on hand to advise and join you on your journey to your perfect day. After all, you are planning on doing this once, and we do it multiple times every year, so why shouldn't we share our experiences and knowledge?

My background is mainly in luxury hotels, most of which are five-star Relais and Chateaux properties around the UK, so you can believe my attention to detail is pin-sharp. I worked my way up the ladder to be a senior sous chef in a two-Michelin-starred restaurant for three years, so you can rest assured that I also understand food and service!
Along with my professional team, I have years of experience in the hospitality sector. Over the years of running my business, I have built partnerships with many like-minded, passionate suppliers. We can guide you to marquee companies, singers, wedding planners, bands, and photographers, to name a few. We have crossed so many paths over the years and kept details of the suppliers who have impressed us.

I have a little funny story to leave you with: when I set up my business for the first couple of years, I always turned weddings away and always said I would never do weddings. Fast forward to today, and I am actively looking for and enjoying them. I think it's down to the fact that I am a very organised person with a little OCD streak, and there is so much organising and cogs to a wedding it has me thinking. Each one is unique, and every couple has different ideas of how their perfect day should look. I thrive with the challenge.
