Hi, I’m Kirsty — chef, founder of Happy Plate, and proud Camden Town local.
My heart truly lies in crafting unforgettable wedding food experiences that bring people together on one of life’s most meaningful days. At Happy Plate, wedding catering is where our creativity shines.
We specialise in full turnkey wedding catering, supporting you with far more than just exceptional food. From staffing and front-of-house teams to professional bar service, bespoke cocktails, evening food, and even wedding entertainment — we take care of every detail. We also work closely with a trusted network of outstanding florists and photographers, making planning seamless and stress-free.
Whether you’re dreaming of 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 joyful, polished service.
Every wedding menu is created in collaboration with you. We build dishes around organic, seasonal ingredients sourced from trusted British producers, crafting 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.
We’re proud to share that Happy Plate has been awarded the 2026 Wedding Award on Hitched, based on the weddings we’ve catered and the wonderful reviews we’ve received from our couples. Since launching Happy Plate, I’ve had the privilege of working with 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 an atmosphere your guests will talk about for years.
We’re more than a catering company — we’re your wedding day support team. From our first conversation to the final toast, we 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.

Reviews for Happy Plate
Excellent food + much more
It goes without saying that the food was delicious, but there were also so many options and so much to eat.
Kirsty really went the extra mile helping us with the venue layout, organising all the staffing for us, and welcoming our family into her home for a tasting.
She is such a calming presence and played as much a role in wedding planning as catering.
I could not recommend her highly enough. She was everything we’d hoped for and more. She really made our wedding so special.
Excellent experience
Thank you Kirsty!
Thank you Kirsty for everything.
You must hire Happy Plate for your wedding (and thank me later!)
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
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!
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.
