Cook & Butler | Auckland Wedding Caterer
Once the I do's have been said and the tears have been shed, now comes the second best thing in a wedding — food.

If you’re still on the fence about brining these guys on board for an epic feast, here’s a few happy peeps that can’t rave enough about Cook & Butler!
We had the privilege of having Cook and Butler Cuisine as our caterer for our dinner wedding reception in February 2019.
Along with our guests we were seriously impressed by the delicious and beautifully presented food… from Cambridge smoked duck breast, shitake miso risotto + Crispy lotus root… to Lavender honey smoked salmon, tempura soft shell crab + herb salad…What a feast!
Not only did the food taste amazing but Nick from Cook and Butler was an absolute legend from the moment we made our first inquiry. He was very professional, friendly, down to earth and was quick in responding to our questions. Nick also gave useful tips and helped us work through details which we hadn’t considered which made the process & decision making smooth. Our tasting session sealed the deal.
On the night the chefs and catering staff were awesome, going the extra mile & keeping everyone satisfied. We had so many guests raving about the food and asking about our caterers due to the high quality service & the unique menu.
Thanks again Nick and the Cook and Butler Team!!! =)

I am so glad that I choose Nick Little at Cook and Butler to cater our wedding. He was one of the few people who gave me straight answers and the information was incredibly helpful when it came to planning the day. We had high tea instead of canapes and Nick was really flexible and made it easy. We and our guests loved the food. We got so many comments on how good the evening meal and desserts were. I was so impressed with all the waiters as the weather meant they got soaked but they worked through it. This is a very professional business and I would definitely recommend them
