Karen Rhodes Weddings & Events

We are still getting comments on how incredible the food was! Not only did you serve the most delicious canapés and three course meal on our special day you continued your fabulous service by serving pizza straight from the oven on day 2! On top of that you went above and beyond to help us on the day and was way more than a catering team. Charlotte you were my go to on the day, you allowed me to relax whilst you took over! If you’re looking for a catering team (& a wedding planner on the day!!!)

They were absolutely incredible on our wedding day and during the lead up to it. Charlotte couldnt have done anything more to help make sure our day was perfect. They always replied to emails quickly, the tasting was fantastic, they were always adaptable and hand happy to answer my countless questions. The sit down meal surpassed all my expectations. The food was incredible and the staff & timing were impeccable. Thank you all so much for making sure everything was exactly as we hoped!

It's been nearly a year since our wedding in Cumbria and people are STILL talking about the food. As a pair of food lovers ourselves, we were keen to have the perfect flavours to accompany our big day. We couldn't have found better! The tasting before hand was the best idea (although we wish we'd left more room) allowing us to sample flavours and find the best wine pairings. The conversations at this sitting were so helpful and we didn't feel pressured in anyway to divert from what we had in min

Thank you so much to Charlotte and Tori for catering our whole wedding weekend. We had a three day event and the team put so much effort into making everything run so smoothly. All the food was delicious, beautifully presented and served to perfection! Our guests are still talking about how impressed they were with all the food and they are not an easy bunch to please!! Haha. Thank you so much to the whole team!

Thank you for helping us have the wedding of our dreams. The food was incredible with many of our guests saying it was the best wedding food they have ever had! The whole process from booking, date changing and the build up was simple. The team on the day were so attentive making sure glasses were full and guests were fed. Wish we could do it all again!

Thank you so so much for the best meal we’ve ever had! We are glad to have chosen you from start to finish – the food at our wedding was so important to us and you got it SO right. Everyone has been raving about it since. We would recommend you to any future couples without hesitation! Love from, Laura & Kayleigh xxx

Not sure where to start as you, your dad and your lovely team were fantastic on both days of Faye & Jack’s wedding. You completley took away the stress and reassured us throughout, even with the last minute changes which you dealt with seamlessly. We can’t thank you enough for making it ‘the best day ever’ (Faye’s words) and we had an amazing time too! Love Paula & Andy xxx”

Mitch and I (My HUSBAND) would like to thank you and your team for the amazing food Saturday. We can’t get over the army of staff you had! Each and every one of them were amazing! The attention you pay to detail is unreal, and you are much more than a caterer, you pulled everything together. All of our friends and family have been raving about the food, and a few of our friends were amazed at the canapés that just kept on coming! Some have actually said this is the first time they’ve actually been full at a wedding! Thank you again so so much!

“Dear Charlotte and Team, Happy New Year! Tom and I wanted to take the opportunity to say a HUGE thank you, to you and your wonderful team for the catering and service you provided on the 7th December for our wedding at New House Farm. The food was wonderful, your team were so helpful throughout the day, so well presented and professional. It was lovely to meet your sister too, as part of your team! We also wanted to say thank you for being so easy to work alongside in the run up, and for supporting the food development process. I have attached a few photos you may want to see of the venue/menu etc… Unfortunately there wasn’t any of the food! We wish you all the best of luck for your 2020 events. Warmest Regards, Emilie and Tom”

14th March 2020 – New House Farm “Hi Charlotte Hope you’re keeping safe and well during this chaos! Just wanted to drop you a note to say a huge thank you for the superb job you and your team did at New House Farm on the 14th March. We knew you were good but seriously, you’re the GOLD standard of caterers. From the original booking enquiry through to menu planning, tasting and final touches to the day itself, it was a dream to work with you all. From the beginning, I was desperate to create an Italian feast and you, Karen and Lucy (and the chef of course) absolutely nailed it. I know I’m biased but it really was the best wedding meal ever. On the day.. You turned the room around so quickly, it looked beautiful, exactly how I pictured it. The service all day was excellent, the food incredible and plentiful and we really appreciate that you were so hands on all day managing the entire thing, including things outside of your brief; ensuring our suppliers were taken care of and even helping Chris with our DJ when he was an hour late! You took all the stress away. Your waitresses and chef who stayed on to do the evening food were brilliant – special shout out to them for being total dreams! I will recommend you to every bride getting married in the Lakes, any company looking to hold corporate events.. basically any chance I get to rave about you I will! Thank you for being that perfect blend of utterly professional and so warm, funny and understanding. We are gutted it’s all over but we have so many incredible memories to hold onto. If there’s anywhere we can post reviews that will be useful for you please do let me know – and if you have an address for us to send a card to when this madness is over that would be fantastic. Thank you again – it’s impossible to put into words how grateful we are! Take care Lauren and Chris xx”
