“We were blessed to have Boardwalk Catering cater our wedding day and couldn’t have asked for anything more. Tim, Ali & the whole team were so accommodating and made the experience one of ease. Despite changing our minds a few times on the dishes and layout of the evening, Tim was very supportive to help us find what would work best for the day. Above what was amazing customer service, the food was absolutely delicious and of the highest quality.

“Boardwalk Catering provided food and beverages, a chef and wait staff, cutlery and crockery, for the showcase of a musician, set in a Sydney cbd office, with an audience of 50. The canapes were excellent (especially the sushi) and so were the drinks (especially the chardonnay). With Rob in the kitchen, and Elissa and Gang on serving, they were a friendly and efficient team.” — Jane English
