Guest Services

Maria’s is the kind of catering that feels like it was made with love because it is. Founded by Mullumbimby-raised duo Maya and Chelsea, the pair grew up surrounded by local produce and home-cooked meals, and that upbringing shows in everything they do. Their menus are a beautiful blend of handmade pasta, grazing tables, canapes and protein feasts, all built around the best seasonal local ingredients and finished with a real eye for food styling. They’re as passionate about how a table looks as how the food tastes, a combination that makes every event feel effortlessly special.

Born and raised in Byron Bay, Tian built Sage Events around a simple but deeply held belief: that sharing food creates connection. Her approach is conscious, seasonal and beautifully executed. Locally sourced wholefoods and organic produce is turned into nourishing, vibrant spreads for retreats, weddings, private dinners, corporate events and everything in between. Sage also offers full event curation, bringing together florists, DJs, bar staff and all the right creatives so you can relax and enjoy the experience you envisioned. If you want someone who will take the pressure completely off your shoulders, Sage Events is a top pick.

There are caterers, and then there’s Fig Tree. A Byron Bay institution with over 40 years of experience and a reputation that speaks for itself. Their world-class chefs grow much of what they serve, pulling herbs, edible flowers, citrus and vegetables from their own thriving gardens, and sourcing everything else from neighbouring farms, fishermen and producers. The result is food that genuinely reflects this place: diverse, seasonal, generous, and finished with the kind of homegrown warmth that makes guests linger long after dessert. If you want your event catered by people who have been doing this longer than most, with a standard that still makes guests say it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had, this is the one.

Sometimes the best arrival gift is a stunning platter waiting on the kitchen bench when you walk through the door. Cape Byron Platters delivers generous, beautifully arranged boards of the finest local cheeses, cured meats, seasonal fruits, olives and more, delivered straight to your accommodation. Each platter is designed around what local producers have available that day, meaning what you get is always fresh, always seasonal, and always a little bit special. Available in sizes for two right through to a crowd, they’re the effortless way to kick off a holiday, celebrate an arrival, or simply give your guests something beautiful to graze on.
