Gingersnap!! What the heck can I say!

Gingersnap!! What the heck can I say! Tania and James genuinely are the perfect suppliers! They went above and beyond throughout our entire wedding planning process and on the day!! They felt like guests at the wedding and helped to keep me calm. The food, oh my goodness what can I even say about the food?! It was absolutely pure perfection - the scallop ceviche is the best thing I have ever eaten. Gingersnap really fit our ethos and the focus on sustainability was really important. The created a menus to match our favourite foods and paired perfectly with our wines. The vegetarian options are created to match the meat options and it went down so well with our vegetarian guests. There was not a single complaint about the food. Tania and the team created a beautiful setting for us and after the clean up post wedding plonked some of our champagne in the fridge for us and made sure the stuff placed in our room was out of the way. I cannot ever in a million years thank them enough for everything and if you’re looking for a catering team who will put you at the forefront, go above and beyond and feel like friends with a passion, cook incredible food then you need to book gingersnap!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
