Last update: January 2026

Hi, I’m Kirsty — chef, founder of Happy Plate, and proud Camden Town local. You may have spotted me on MasterChef: The Professionals 2024, but my heart truly lies in crafting unforgettable wedding food experiences that bring people together on the most meaningful of days.

At Happy Plate, wedding catering is where our creativity shines. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony, a relaxed garden celebration, or a grand multi-course feast, we’re here to bring your vision to life with thoughtful menus, elegant presentation, and seamless, joyful service.

We’re more than just a catering company — we’re your wedding day support team. From the first conversation to the final toast, we take care of everything. Alongside our talented chefs, we offer an exceptional front-of-house team, professional bar staff, and skilled mixologists who create beautiful cocktails designed around your celebration.

Every wedding menu is crafted in collaboration with you. We build dishes around organic, seasonal ingredients from trusted British producers, creating food that reflects your story as a couple — whether that’s a refined plated dinner, a vibrant sharing banquet, a relaxed family-style feast, or a whimsical Afternoon Tea.

Since launching Happy Plate, I’ve had the privilege of catering for countless couples, many of whom stay in touch long after the last plate is cleared. They return to us because we deliver more than beautiful food — we offer peace of mind, warm hospitality, and a wedding atmosphere your guests will talk about for years.

Let us handle the details, so you can be fully present — celebrating, laughing, and savouring every bite.

I can’t wait to cook for you on your special day.

Happy Plate is a wedding catering company based in North London.

Excellent experience

Kirsty was a true professional from start to finish. We felt so confident that our day was all in hand when we met her to discuss the menu and on every aspect she did not disappoint. The food was delicious, the service was amazing and she is such a kind person who wanted our day to genuinely go well.

Thank you Kirsty!

We got recommended Kirsty at Happy Plate by a friend and we are so glad we did. She is an exceptionally talented individual, who took so much care and attention in making our day really special. No ask was too small and she tailored all of the menu to the different requirements of our guests (and our quite niche theme!). Our venue was tricky to access and had no kitchen but she managed to source and set up all the equipment so that we could have our perfect setting. The food was 5 star and so beautiful and the staff she sourced and managed were brilliant.
Thank you Kirsty for everything.

You must hire Happy Plate for your wedding (and thank me later!)

We hired Happy Plate for our wedding and they were fantastic. Kirsty is an absolute star! (and she was very patient with all of our requests!!). Her communication was clear and attentive throughout the entire planning process. She took the time to understand what we wanted and made everything feel smooth, even when we were juggling a million other wedding details.
The food was amazing. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was, from the canapés to the main dishes, and the finger food desserts. Everything was amazing, and it genuinely exceeded our expectations.
The staff on the day were fantastic, professional but friendly. They created such a warm, relaxed atmosphere and made sure every guest was looked after. You could tell they truly cared about making the day special.
I can honestly say that Happy Plate helped make our wedding unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better team, and we’re so grateful for the care and quality they brought to our celebration. Highly, highly recommend!

Zero Stress, Incredible Food – Perfect Wedding Catering

HappyPlate catered our wedding and I honestly couldn’t have asked for more.

The photos here are from the tasting at Kirstie’s place, which was awesome and had us feeling completely comfortable and looked after from that point on. Obviously the wedding day itself went by in a blur, and I never even thought about food or catering until it was suddenly in front of me… which is all you can possibly ask for at a wedding!

Everything ran smoothly, the food was incredible, and we felt like we had friends looking after us rather than a “vendor.” Huge thanks and recommendation to Kirstie and the HappyPlate team.

Amazing service on our wedding day!

We had Happy Plate for our wedding, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. The food was incredible — so fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully presented.

From the very beginning, the communication was great. Everything was clear, easy, and professional, which really helped take stress off us during the wedding planning. On the day, the service was smooth, organised, and done with such care. We truly felt looked after.

We’re so grateful for everything Kirsty and her team did to make our day special, and we would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Fantastic catering for our our London wedding!

Kirsty was fantastic from start to finish, creating a bespoke menu of canapes, 3 course dinner and evening food for our 80-person wedding. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented and Kirsty was able to overcome any problems will calm ease (including sourcing last-minute plates!) Our whole day was gluten free, as my wife has a servere gluten allergy, and Kirsty made us feel cared for.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
