Salters Events - Wedding Catering with Heart, Craft and 40 Years of Experience

Salters Events is a family-owned, multi-award-winning wedding caterer delivering bespoke, fully serviced wedding catering across London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Every menu is designed from scratch and every detail is carefully managed, so couples can relax knowing their food and service are completely taken care of.

Led by husband-and-wife team Ian and Robyn, Salters combines restaurant-quality cooking with the warmth and care of a close-knit family business. For over four decades, they have helped couples celebrate life’s biggest moments with food that feels generous, seasonal and genuinely memorable.

This isn’t standard wedding catering.

Every menu is created specifically for each couple. Every dish is cooked by their own chefs. Every event is run by a team that treats your wedding as if it were their own.

From elegant canapés and relaxed sharing feasts to refined fine dining and thoughtful late-night food, Salters focuses on flavour first. Bold, modern, beautifully presented dishes made with carefully sourced British produce and trusted artisan suppliers. Food your guests talk about long after the last dance.

What truly sets Salters apart is the experience of working with them.

Couples are guided personally from first enquiry to the final plate. There are no call centres, no cookie-cutter packages and no feeling like “just another booking”. Instead, you’ll find calm expertise, clear communication and a team who quietly handles every detail so you can simply enjoy the day.

Their weddings feel effortless because everything has already been thought through.

On the day itself, the Salters team blends seamlessly into your celebration. Professional, warm and unflappable, they anticipate what you need before you even realise you need it. Glasses stay topped up, guests are looked after and the food flows naturally with the atmosphere of your day.

It’s refined without being fussy. Luxury without pretence. Generous, joyful hospitality at its best.

Having catered their own wedding, Ian and Robyn understand first-hand how important it is to feel completely confident in the people behind the scenes. That empathy shapes everything they do.

For couples who care deeply about food, value genuine service and want a wedding that feels beautifully personal, Salters Events offers something rare: experience, craftsmanship and heart, all in one place.

Everything you would want from a caterers and more!

Salters were everything we could have wanted and more with out wedding caterers. Robyn and Ian were supportive in every step of the way and made helpful suggestions with lots of options. With the running of the day, they were always on hand and helped take away all stresses. On top of all that, the food was by far the best food that I have ever had at a wedding (we are so happy that it was at ours) and our wedding cake was ridiculously delicious.
If in doubt, try the beef canape and you will be easily sold!

Unforgettable experience

Robyn and Ian are incredibly talented, and I'm so happy we got to have them cater our wedding. Robyn is an amazing communicator and made sure very early on in the process that we had a menu that would fit our needs and taste. We were well informed, every step of the way.
Now onto the best bit: the food was simply remarkable. The ingredients, the creative choices, the presentation... Everything was incredible. Some of the guests are quite difficult to please, and everyone was very impressed and kept asking for more. The leftovers disappeared very quickly as well.
Last but not least - we were also very amazed at the professionalism of the staff who came to help and serve the food on the day. Couldn't have dreamt a better service.

Faultless wedding catering!

I cannot recommend Robyn and Ian enough. They catered our wedding last month and I honestly can't fault them. They made it feel that we were dealing with friends from the very start, which helped keep me sane during the wedding preparations! They were so easy to talk to, and were so knowledgeable and able to provide advice on anything we weren't sure of.
The food quality is second to none, and we had so many compliments from our guests on the food too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, and I couldn't imagine going to anyone else for any other event I needed catering. Thank you so much guys!!!

Mrs Taylor

Salters events made a spectacular cake for our wedding. After a friendly chat of options they came up with a beautiful design that tied in many colours and themes from our wedding including our wedding flowers. The process was so easy and meant there was one less thing for us to worry about on the day.

All round brilliant

Robyn made us the most wonderful two-tiered wedding cake. Not only was the cake beautiful and delicious, throughout, Robyn was very helpful, responsive and delivered everything on time. She also whipped up some vegan and gluten free cupcakes at relatively short notice. All round brilliant

I'm still dreaming about our coconut and lime wedding cake

Salters Events did a very small private wedding lunch - including for a gluten free friend (who said it was the best gluten free meal she'd ever had) - and it was simply superb. They put together such an interesting menu we could all enjoy. I still dream of the coconut and lime wedding cake.

10/10 Would Recommend

We had a fantastic experience with Robyn and Ian - they were very receptive to our ideas about what we wanted and made it all happen absolutely beautifully. Staff and service on the day absolutely couldn't be faulted and we have had so many compliments from our guests about the food. They even jumped in at the last minute to save an emergency wedding-cheese-cake presentation issue which we had completely forgotten to organise in the busy morning of. 100% would absolutely recommend and will be returning for any other events we need to cater in the future!

Fantastic supplier and lovely people!

Robyn and Ian catered for our wedding this July and we couldn't recommend them more highly. All of our guests said how delicious the food was and how well fed they were! Which doesn't always happen at weddings. Robyn made a fantastic wedding cake for us, which was three layers of different delicious sponge cakes that tasted incredible. They helped to coordinate the day and looked after everyone so well. We were so grateful for Robyn, Ian and their team's hard work.

Superb from start to finish

From the first conversations with Salters Events on planning my daughter wedding cake we were delighted they could accommodate all her wishes and design. The pricing was great also. Communication was fantastic and the cake was delivered to the venue and constructed. We had quite a stressful moment with the venue not having the tables ready and the lovely Salter team stopped and helped us! It was very much appreciated. The cake looked exactly as we had planned and tasted gorgeous. The whole thing disappeared quickly! Guests were very complimentary and certainly enjoyed eating it. Would highly recommend their service, kindness and delicious cake.

Excellent food and perfect customer service

We were very happy that we chose Salters Events to cater at our private wedding celebration party and to make our wedding cake last December. Robyn and Ian helped us plan the menu which was executed to perfection. The bowl foods and the macaroons looked amazing and were delicious. Our three tier wedding cake was so beautifully decorated and yummy too. Our guests were very impressed and we all had a most enjoyable and memorable evening. Thank you Robyn, Ian and the team for making our celebration party a very special one. All the best, Patricia and Tony xx

Beautiful cake - exceeded expectations

Robyn made our wedding cake for us. She listened to the brief and created the beautiful cake. It exceeded my expectations, it was so stunning. We had a two tier, one vegan and one regular and it tasted amazing. Would highly recommend.

Outstanding Quality Food

We hired Salters Event for our wedding in August 2021. From the moment we went to the tasting, we knew they were going to be brilliant. They were accommodating, flexible and communication was really clear.

On the day, the quality of the food was outstanding (I have no idea how they served 50 people out of such a tiny kitchen…!) and our guests regularly mention it to this day.

If you’re looking for wedding caterers… look no further.

Big thank you to Ian and Robyn for making our day so special.

Bespoke 5 star wedding food!

Salter events (Ian and Robyn) are a family run small business who provided us with incredible food at our wedding.

During the planning stage they helped us to plan the perfect menu that suited us and our tastes. They did a wonderful tasting session for us. They were fast to respond to any queries. They also went to view our venue beforehand as they hadn't catered there before and wanted to check it out to make sure it all ran smoothly.

They were realistic on the number of waiting staff required and were very transparent about all costs on this from the start. This meant that service ran flawlessly and food was out efficiently.

The food itself was delicious. The canapés were stylish, smart and tasty. The sticky beef in particular was a winner with all our guests! There were plenty to go around. The three course meal we had was plated to a very good restaurant standard. The presentation was immaculate. It was some of the best food we've ever eaten.

Overall, we could not recommend Ian and Robyn highly enough. We love that they are a small local business and we felt like we got to really know them. And of course the food was incredible!

Fantastic 3 course wedding breakfast and evening buffet

We can’t thank the team at Salters Events enough for the most wonderful wedding breakfast they provided. The whole process from choosing and tasting the menu, pairing the wine and service on the day was top quality. Almost everyone commented on how fantastic the food was. One guest who is in a wedding related business and has been to 6 weddings this year alone, said it was the best wedding catering they have had. I was worried that preparing the food for so many people in my mum’s kitchen would be a problem but if there was any difficulties, no one had any idea. In addition to the superb food, the service from the waiting staff was very professional, they had clearly been well trained.
My husband and I had a wonderful wedding day and a large part of that was due to Robyn and Ian. Thank you for making it so special.

Robyn Salter
Robyn Salter
Co-Founder

Hi, I’m Robyn, co-founder of Salters Events.

I’m usually the first voice you’ll hear and the person guiding you through every step of your wedding catering journey, from your first enquiry to the final plate on the day itself.

Ian and I run Salters together as a family business, and for me, weddings are all about creating a calm, thoughtful experience where couples feel completely looked after. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, so my job is to make the catering side feel effortless. Clear communication, careful organisation and lots of reassurance along the way.

I love getting to know each couple properly. Their story, their style, the atmosphere they want to create. No two weddings should feel the same, and I take real pride in helping design something that feels personal and genuinely “them”.

On the day, you’ll usually find me quietly coordinating behind the scenes, making sure everything runs smoothly so you can relax and enjoy every moment with your guests. When couples tell me they didn’t have to worry about a thing, that’s the biggest compliment.

Food brings people together, and being trusted with such an important day is something I never take lightly. It’s a privilege to play even a small part in those memories.

Ian Salter
Ian Salter
Co-Founder

Hi, I’m Ian, co-founder and food creative lead at Salters Events.

Food has always been how I tell stories. For me, wedding catering isn’t just about feeding guests, it’s about creating moments people remember long after the day itself. The first canapé that makes everyone stop and smile. The main course that gets the table talking. The late-night dish that feels like a hug at the end of the evening.

That’s the part I love most.

I design every Salters menu from scratch, working closely with each couple to create something that feels personal to them and perfectly suited to their day. Seasonal ingredients, bold flavours and beautiful presentation are always at the heart of what we do. Everything is cooked by our own team of chefs, never bought in or off the shelf, because quality really matters to me.

My background is hands-on, and you’ll usually find me in the kitchen with the team, tasting, tweaking and making sure every plate that leaves us is something we’re proud to put our name to. I’m a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to food, but that attention to detail is what ensures your wedding meal feels truly special.

Robyn and I run Salters together as a family business, and having catered our own wedding, we understand just how important it is to trust the people behind the scenes. That’s why we treat every wedding with the same care and thoughtfulness as if it were our own.

There’s nothing better than seeing a room full of guests enjoying themselves, plates clean and smiles everywhere. Knowing we’ve helped create that atmosphere is what makes this job such a privilege.
