The secret recipe behind our #1 wedding caterer win

Weddings aren’t just about picture-perfect venues and breathtaking gowns—they’re about people, love, and unforgettable experiences. At Pure Catering, we believe food is at the heart of those memories, and that belief has guided us for decades.

In 2025, that passion was recognised on the biggest stage: Pure Catering was named Australia’s #1 Independent Wedding Caterer in the ABIA National Designer of Dreams Awards. So, what makes us different from everyone else? Here’s the inside scoop on why we’re more than just caterers—we’re a family of feeders.


  • A family business with big love for weddings

Pure Catering began as a small family-run business, and that heart has never left us. Our team isn’t just staff—they’re like family too, many of them with us for 5, 10, even 15 years. That kind of loyalty means consistency, trust, and a level of care that’s hard to replicate.

When you book Pure Catering, you’re not just hiring a caterer—you’re inviting a team who genuinely cares about your day as much as you do. We take the time to understand your vision and treat every wedding like it’s one of our own.

  • The awards that tell the story

The ABIA awards aren’t about glossy brochures or clever marketing—they’re based on real feedback from real couples. Every score reflects ratings on quality, service, and professionalism.

In 2024, we were proud to be named Queensland’s Best Independent Wedding Caterer with an incredible 99.86% satisfaction rating. And then, in 2025, we reached the top—becoming #1 in Australia. These wins represent more than trophies; they’re proof of the trust thousands of couples have placed in us over the years.

  • Menus as unique as you

We know no two weddings are alike, so we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all menus. Whether you want elegant fine dining, abundant shared feasts, or interactive grazing stations, we’ll create a menu that feels like you.

And because every guest deserves a seat at the table, we cater to every dietary need without compromising on taste or presentation.

  • Why our team makes the difference

Here’s the truth: anyone can follow a recipe, but not everyone can deliver an experience. Our chefs? Obsessed with flavour and presentation. Our event planners? Walking, talking run sheets who make logistics look easy. Our service staff? Professional yet warm—because nothing should feel stiff on a day that’s all about joy.

Most importantly, these aren’t strangers hired for the weekend—they’re long-term members of our team, trained to uphold the same values that started with our family. That’s what makes the Pure difference.

  • The little things matter most

It’s not just about food (but as Jamie our Head Chef would say…. Ours is pretty bangin’). It’s about the details: planning a timeline so dinner doesn’t clash with speeches, ensuring your vendors are fed, and making sure your day runs seamlessly. We do it all quietly, so you don’t even have to think about it.
